Comment 10 for bug 1104373

I think I think my issue might be related.

I have two systems with the following specs

Linux Mint 14/Mate now running Linux Mint 14/KDE
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 mATX FM2
AMD A8-5600K APU Quad Core Processor Socket FM2 3.2GHZ 4MB 100W
AMD Entertainment Edition 8GB 2X4GB PC3-12800U DDR3 1600MHz
AMD Catalyst 12.10/13.1

Linux Mint 14/KDE
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 mATX FM2
AMD A10-5800K APU Quad Core Processor Socket FM2 3.8GHZ 4MB 100W
G.SKILL F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR Sniper SE 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1866
AMD Catalyst 12.10/13.1

So the A8 system was running fine (Some video choppiness) till about a week ago ( Mint mate - No other changes or OS updates ) the audio started to would cut out every few minutes. I upgraded the netflix-desktop and still have the same issue. Well I decided to upgrade the AMD driver to 13.1 and got the black screen after launching a movie. Had to use task manager to kill the process.

I updated the system to MInt 14 KDE and had the same issues with black screen using AMD 13.1. Reverted it to AMD 12.10 the black screen went away but the audio cut out is still there even with the last update to netflix-desktop.

On my A10 system Mint 14 KDE with AMD 13.1 and with the latest update to netflix-desktop I have some video choppiness but the Audio is fine and it works fine with both AMD 12.10/13.1 and the AMD Open Source drivers.
