 Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 11:57 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Panel mixer plugin crashes anytime sound is played |
 |
|
I have done a new installation and sound appears to be fine, except that in both Gnome and XFCE panel mixer plugin dies anytime I do anything with sound - flash, vlc, mplayer, skype, etc. This pretty annoying since I am using those panel plugins to change volume. There is no indication of anything else being wrong, sound works fine, there is nothing in logfiles either. Any suggestions?
Here is error I get in Gnome:
| Code: | "Volume Control" has quit unexpectedly
If you reload a panel object, it will automatically be added back to the panel. |
I am using alsa, and Intel HD Audio as a default sound card, but there is also NVIDIA audio controller on the board (I do not think that has anything to do with the problem, though).
| Code: | lspci -v | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller
03:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) |
| Code: | lsmod | grep snd
snd_hda_codec_hdmi 23179 4
snd_hda_codec_analog 76795 1
snd_hda_intel 23289 0
snd_hda_codec 75433 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_analog,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep 5791 1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm 65662 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
snd_timer 17666 1 snd_pcm
snd 56008 7 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_analog,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc 6642 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
|
Any ideas how to fix this or even figure out what the problem is?

I was able to get error message when running xfce4-mixer from terminal:
| Code: | xfce4-mixer: simple_none.c:1350: get_enum_item_ops: Assertion `helem'
failed. |
Internet search uncovered a debian bug about this exact problem:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=659033
The issue appears to be that there are different models of Intel HD Audio and alsaconf did not get it right, perhaps indicating that there are non-existant control or something like that. Anyway, the solution in the debian bug,passing the exact type as a kernel parameter (snd-hda-intel.model=6stack-dig), worked for me and the problem got fixed.
Still do not understand why exact model was not properly configured, this is a sound card integrated in rather popular ASUS MB. |
