Created attachment 135419 [details] pulseaudio log when problem occurs When I'm playing some audio and I start pavucontrol, the audio stops immediately and won't continue. Basically nothing will play when it is open. After I quit pavucontrol and wait a few seconds, the audio will resume. I am using an Creative X-Fi Titanium (20K2 chip) and pulseaudio 11.1 on Arch Linux. When I switch to another sound card, the problem is not present. I've attached the pulseaudio log timestamps: 00 start pulseaudio 13 start rhythmbox 19 start playback 33 start pavucontrol <-- trouble starts here
After removing "default-sample-channels = 6" from /etc/pulse/daemon.conf, the issue seems to disappear. I had set that option because I have a 5.1 surround system and want pulseaudio to use all channels when possible. Should I keep the line out of my daemon.conf? Or is this still a bug in pavucontrol?
My guess is that this is a kernel driver bug, but figuring out a test case for reproducing the problem without pulseaudio is probably hard... If you change load-module module-udev-detect to load-module module-udev-detect tshced=0 in /etc/pulse/default.pa, does that work around the issue?
Do you mean tsched (instead of tshced)? If so: it doesn't change anything, unfortunately.
