[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel, playback] fails after a while

[pungentstentch]

Well, thing is Ive been with this problem since 8.04, lets explain myself

As you see in the bug attached information, I have an ASUS motherboard, with ASUS GTX260 hdmi video/audio outpout.

In order to make audio work at system start I have to use the pulseaudio GUI utility (pavucontrol) and in Outpout, check and uncheck mute. Then I have sound working perfectly.

Running 10.04 was the most stable scenario, I still have it installed on another partition and works (the same way with pavucontrol trick) without any issues.

Now on 11.10, usually a while after system start and the trick is done sound is gone. I see at pavucontrol the sound level bars working with apps but no matter what I do (alsamixer, pavucontrol, gnome alsamixer...) sound wont get back unless I reboot and redo the trick.

I think that maybe flash or video playback could be on the problem, but I cant be sure, I havent find yet a way to make the problem happens.

Thanks in advance for any help

Any ideas?? This is very annpying, sound just vanish with no reason.

[pungentstentch (pungentstentch)]

Ok igot it, Ithink the trigger is banshee. Is there a way I can have audio back once the audio is killed?

[pungentstentch (pungentstentch)]

It wasnt banshee, i moved to Linux Mint 12, and sound works better (still have to do the same trick), but still sometimes i lose it.
And there is no way I can recover sound unless I reboot.

Any ideas? If at least I can make sound go back without restarting session will be enough for me.

Thanks

Got a new way to recover sound without rebooting

killall pulseaudio; sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel; sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel

Anyway it doesnt fix my problem, its just a patch.

Any ideas would be apreciated.

Tahnks
