normal operation, one FE (a Zotac ZBOX AD-03 with Mythbuntu
12.04 0.25/fixes) suddenly dropped sound completely while watching
live tv. Checking the log produced 4 errors together at the time
when the sound was dropped:<br>
ALSA: Setting hardware audio buffer size to 128<br>
ALSA: Error opening /proc/asound/card0/pcm3p/suub0/prealloc:
Permission denied.<br>
ALSA: Try to manually increase audio buffer with: echo 128 |
sudo tee /proc/asound/card0/pcm3p/sub0/prealloc<br>
ALSA: Unable to sufficiently increase ALSA hardware buffer size
- underruns are likely<br>
<br>
I can restart the FE and the same scenario will repeat, some
amount of time with completely normal sound followed by silence.
Those 4 items will be in the log at the exact time the sound
fails.<br>
<br>
If someone is familiar with this situation and can offer
suggestions that would be great.<br>
