No subject

trouble, so i'd suggest to simply shut it down and check whether the problem
persists (esp. as you mentioned that playing apparetnly continues, just
there's no audio)

      <pre wrap="">Dear "JM"

 From Settings/ Configure Amarok/ Playback/ Sound System Configuration/
Configure Phonon the output device preference for the 'Music' Category
is set as HDA NVidia (ALC888 Analog).  This would be consistent with a
listing of my PCI Devices, the audio device is nVidia Corp MCP61 High
Def Audio.

The output device pref has the nVidia device listed as the first in the
list ... presumably the default?  Following this is a listing for
PulseAudio.

I think that all is aligned, the Amarok setting appears to be calling
the correct device, but perhaps it is not this obvious?

What are your thoughts?

Cheers

I know you've gotten some advice to stop or remove PulseAudio, but
I've got the opposite advice. Put PA at the top of the list of your
output devices -- ALL output devices. It can work well, but it does
not play well with others. I had various annoying sound problems until
I did this, and now everything works perfectly. Only after trying this
simple trick should you remove it.

Thanks Valorie<br>

I seem to have fixed the issue by installing GStreamer and now that is
at the top of the list.  I've been testing it all morning and it seems
to work fine for now (touch wood!).<br>
<br>
If I understand the issues correctly, it seems that there is a larger
issue at hand here regarding track progression - see for example:

could be referring to other issues and be unrelated to my original post.<br>

Thanks for your input Valorie.<br>
