audio driver crashed

English Multimedia
#1

Hello,

I’m running openSUSE 11.0 on hp compaq 6715s. Until today, i could open .mp3 files in banshee media player, and was working. Today i’ve installed some Sequencers and media editors (for my music development) and banshee is not working anymore. Also, any other media player or recorder doesn’t work with sound… Do i have a problem with de audio driver? or something like this? Where should i find one? The sound doesn’t work even in firefox.

I’ll put a screenshot with the error from banshee

Thanks, Toni

hi…
first of all, type the following as root:
hwinfo --sound
and write here the results…

do you have ALSA installed?
try running alsaconf as root and then alsamixer…

do you have pulseaudio installed?

good luck :wink:

yes hda_intel crashes once in a while. same thing here…

as root with alsa you can restart the driver with

rcalsasound restart

also be sure to use a sound server like pulseaudio.
