[Joe Barnett]

After booting up, sounds works fine, but after some period of time, eventually becomes silent. A reboot fixes sound ouput, but not sure how to figure out what is breaking, or how to fix it.

Need a verbose pulse log from such an instance (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log) of sudden silence

[Joe Barnett (thejoe)]

log attached; started -vvvv pulseaudio and then used mplayer to play an mp3, hearing only silence.

[Echo (echo-echo)]

Same probleme, sound stops after playing some music or often when pausing a music and then trying to un-pause it
A pulseaudio verbose log is attached too.

[Shannon "tekNorah" Medlin (teknorah)]

This occurs when I am editing video in Kino or audio in Jokosher, usually when I pause or rewind playback.

See attached PulseAudio Log
