[Issue] Sound problems!?

So, I've been playing Starbound recently. Great little games, needs some work here and there. I've noticed that my sound, MY ENTIRE COMPUTER'S SOUND just suddenly cuts out. I originally had this problem when I only had ALSA. Someone on the IRC chat got me to install Pulse, and that fixed it for a little while, after working my butt off to get Pulse working in the first place.
Using 'journalctl -fb' I noticed something interesting. Each time the sound cuts out, I get this in the journal:
Feb 05 04:34:47 AlienArch kernel: perf interrupt took too long (2504 > 2495), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50100
Searching this tells me that this is a benign error, but it seems to have something to do with my sound cutting out, since it occurs at nearly the same time.
Rebooting the machine seems to fix it for a little while, but it will either cut out randomly, or cut out a few minutes after opening Starbound...
I will provide as much logs and details as asked, I just request that you also tell me where I can get said logs, or what commands are needed.

mrunion wrote:If you don't run Starbound, does the problem go away?
No, it persists until my machine is restarted. And it does happen on rare occasions when I am NOT playing Starbound.
EDIT!
Got that error again. Sound is still working! It seems to only happen with Starbound, both the 32 and 64 bit versions...
EDIT EDIT!
So, I have isolated the problem to Starbound. NO LOGS show anything to support the loss of sound!
EDIT x3!
GODDAMNIT! It seems FLASH from flash-plugins is ALSO causing my sound to give up!
EDIT x4!
MOTHER... It just happened on random. I mean, nothing was running, nothing was using sound. It just happened.

USB Sound Problem

I'm having a problem with my Bose USB sound system that has just recently developed. The system is plugged directly into the back of my Mac Pro desktop so it's not going through any hubs or secondary systems. When I first start my computer the sound works just fine. But after about 10 to 15 minutes of use the sound stops completely - as if the sounds have been turned off. If I boot into Windows 7 using Boot Camp, the sound system there works just fine with no problems at all, so I do not believe this issue is hardware related but is something associated with OS X.
This all started recently after installing Tinker Tool and then realizing that their latest version is not compatible with Snow Leopard. I followed their directions and told Tinker Tool to restore the previous settings and then I removed it from my system. Now, I'm having this USB sound problem. I think it's highly probable to be the cause of my problem.
Is there anyway to reinstall the USB drivers in OS X without reinstalling the entire OS? Or, is there something else I can try to restore the USB function to Snow Leopard? Many thanks for any tips or suggestions.

They are plug and play.
I did try unplugging all of the USB devices and then powered off the computer and unplugged it for about 5 minutes as I heard that that sometimes solves USB problems. However, upon reconnecting the problem returned. All other USB devices seem to be working normally - it's only the Bose sound system. I tried plugging it into a different USB port in the back of the computer but the problem continued after about 10 minutes. Therefore, I am convinced this is not hardware related.
At this point I am thinking I need to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard to undo whatever Tinker Tool damaged. Is it possible to just replace the USB drivers in OS X without reinstalling everything?

Sound Problem Plus Memory Problem

I've also posted this same issue at the EVGA website with no help what so ever yet. Also if it's ok I'm having the above mentioned memory problem that it probable not related but if anyone does have good input I would love to hear. Hope this doesn't break any rules, didn't see anything in the listed rules thread. So here it goes.
Ok I'm having a few minor but very perplexing and annoying problems. I have recently built a new rig to include the following.
Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition
EVGA P55 FTW Intel P55 Socket LGA56
Intel Core i5-750 2.66Ghz 8M LGA56 CPU
Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3 PC2800 (2 x 2 GB sticks)
Ultra LSP750 750w Power Supply
Seagate TB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case
Galaxy GeForce GTS 250 52MB PCIe x2 (SLI Setup)
BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card (Physx Setup)
PROBLEM ONE:
This one I had a lot less that I was able to actually try because it just confused the crap out of me. So I started by going to test my sound. I'm running an optical cable from the on board sound port to back of my sony surround sound system. I get sound from my left and right channel but nothing from the center, rears or sub. So figure no biggie just need to change the configuration from 2 speaker stereo to 5. surround sound. Guess what... the option isn't there? WTF? A sound card with an optical port with no 5. support? So went online found the drivers for the sound on the mother board and tried reinstalling thinking maybe somthing was wrong with the drivers on the CD. Well it still didn't work. So I figured what ever, I got an external sound card that I know works with Windows 7 since it was on other desktop and hooked it up. Its a Creative - Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5. External USB Sound Card. Well it installs fine and I go to test it. Yep you guessed it! Still only sound from the left channel and the right channel with no option for surround sound. So I was able to find updated drivers for that and ran em. Well now I have an option for Surround sound with side speakers only no rear. Oh but it doesn't really matter because the left and right channel are still the only ones able to produce sound. And yes the speakers work I turned on my X-Box 360 hooked up to the same speakers and LCD tv and played COD4 with full sound working fine. So something else has to be happening I just have no idea.
PROBLEM TWO:
The second problem was with the memory. Everything booted fine but it initial only detected 2 GB. By the way I had them installed in slots and 3. So I shut down and popped em out checked the copper connectors everything looked fine and reseated the chi
ps.
This time during the boot up I checked the BIOS. It saw all 4 GBs of memory. Continued into Windows. Windows now saw all 4 but only .99 GB was available. Now the only other time I've seen anything like this was with on board video sharing the memory, and even then it wasn't half of the systems total memory. I then tried shutting down and putting the chips in 2 and 4 just see what would happen. Well I got an EA post error on the LED, couldn't even boot. So I figured o'well power down completely and tried to run the memory in 2 and 3 to run it out of dual channel. I was able to boot but still had the same issue. .99 GB available and still saw all 4. At this point it was just getting silly so I figured ok I'll download the new BIOS with my laptop, burned it to a CD. Booted the desktop and ran the BIOS flash. Update seemed work fine, honestly the BIOS didn't look much different and I didn't take note of the previous version before I did it so I can only assume it worked. However it did not fix my problem. So I'm still stuck at windows seeing 4 GB of memory with only .99 available.
Anyway... I'll keep trying to get this working and hunting around online, but I'm really hoping you all have some ideas. I'll be trying to call EVGA today for some help too and possibly Corsair. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,
cannot help with the sound problem.
For memory, I've got almost the same thing but with 4 sticks of 2gb and only 2 detected on an ASUS P7P55D deluxe.
Bios was my issue but I needed to do this (but with pairs of sticks instead of sticks) after the bios update to finally get my 8gb under windows:
Make a clear cmos. Then boot the computer with only one stick of ram in the port .
If everything is fine, turn off and add the other port of the same color for dual channel.
If it does not boot with the 2 sticks in the port of the good color, try to switch ports again. Maybe one stick is dead?

Sound problem with my iPod touch! Need urgent help!

I have an iPod Touch 8gb 3rd gen (2nd gen) and have owned it for a couple years. Recently I've been noticing some sound problems when I listen to music with earbuds/headphones. One of the earbuds will lose sound and won't produce music but if I twist the input plug it produce little or full sound but if it moves out of a certain position it won't produce sound out of that bud. I'm using Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds so I thought maybe since they arn't great it might be a manufacturer defect but I used them with my iPod Nano 2gb 1st gen and I could hear out of both earbuds perfectly. I even plugged in my iPod Touch into a car adapter so I could listen to my music through the car stereo and it went in and out of sound so I realize now it is my iPod and not 3rd party equipment I've been using with it that is the problem. Since its the iPod what is the exact problem and how do I fix it? I really don't want to use my old iPod since it doesn't have enough storage for my music now and I'm already getting something else for Christmas that I've been wanting for a while. Please help!

If your car adapter works thru the headphone jack, the problem could just be dirt inside the jack.
Try just putting in and out the headphone plug a few times. You can also try cleaning the jack, just don't use anything wet. Cotton swabs are also not advisable as they might leave lint and make things worse.
To make sure it's not a oft ware issue, try to Reset your device.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59291.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow thisand then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Start the notebook and let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

Sound problem in HP Pavillion dv9810us Notebook PC

Hi :
For last more than 8 months I am having this problem. First problem started with skype call. My laptop lost its speaker and showed a red X mark next to sound icon. I couldn't find any thing to fix the problem, so I did system recovery to factory setting. After that my computer downloaded windows update and security updates for vista. It upgraded my vista service pack 1 to service pack 2. In middle of this downloading stage several times I lost sound and then again got back it and again lost. I couldn't find any good solution. It is so frustrating that I can't view any videos in internet explorer which is upgraded to 9 now . I tried to watch videos in FIREFOX or Google Chrome. But no sound after few minutes watching. Every time I lost sound I tried to fix with microsft system restore or sound hardware restallation or total system recovery to factory setting. Nothing solve my problem permanantly. I contact with Microsfot vista forum, but no solutions actually fix my audio problem. At this moment my sound icon has red X mark .
This morning when I started my laptop it was ok with sound, I watched one news on Yahoo. But after that the same sound problem. In the mean time my computer downloaded vista updates automatically and installed it. When computer restarted my sound icon got red X mark. I don't understand why with some windows updates take my sound off. If I don't want to install those updates, still the sound went off when I watch videos on yahoo or Youtube. It says Yahoo is not responding, sometimes it says internet explorer is not responding. I followed all kind of solution that I got from microsft vista forum but nothing worked out. I don't know how I can fix this problem.
This question was solved.

Quick and easy fix is to buy a cheap USB sound card (it resembles a flash drive). Just do a google search and you should find one for $2 to $3.
I had the same problem where my sound disappeared and would intermittently work when I rebooted until finally it quit and rebooting wouldn't help. It seemed to have happened after a windows update AND after having errors with the QuickTouch On Screen Display. Upon research, I discovered many people had the exact same problem with this model.
I used Restore Manager to restore the drivers for the QTOSD and for the sound card and although I stopped getting errors for the QTOSD, it did not fix the sound. My quick and easy resolution to my sound problem was to purchase a USB sound card online for $2.49 at Overstock dot com. I also bought one from a local computer store, MicroCenter, that I liked better (because it had a long cord) for $10. My sound works perfect now; HOWEVER, I just realized tonight that I NO LONGER HAVE A DIAL UP MODEM EITHER. You should check to see if yours is still visible in Device Manager or in your dial up connections if you have one. I suspect the problems I had also killed my modem beyond detection because it's also a Conexant HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP (the sound card driver is also Conexant HD). The Restore Manager won't reinstall the drivers because it doesn't see the device. It's too expensive to repair the motherboard and I don't have to have the dial up modem so for now I will just enjoy sound and my laptop for as long as it continues to live.
Again, just buy a cheap USB sound card (it looks similar to a flash drive) for a quick and easy fix. I hope this helps. Good luck. I hope you don't have other issues resulting from this as I did..

Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.2 sounds problems, how solve it?, iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.2 sounds problems, how solve it?

The instalation of iOS 6.1.2 make troubles in sound sistem of my iPhone 5 - no specker working.
To times restoring and no solutions. Please help me, thanks.

Since upgrading to iOS 6.1.2, I, too, have been having sound problems, but with my earbuds, with one side or the other being either full of static, or only faint sound. It is inconsistent, and does not always happen. Also, some songs in various playlists skip randomly, and others cannot be played when selected. This never happened before this release, and I use the iPod function of my iPhone 4s every day.
Also, the first time I downloaded an app, the iTunes store recognized my iPhone as a NEW DEVICE downloading an app for the first time, though I have had it since October, synced it many times, and have downloaded many apps. When I looked at my iTunes Store profile, my purchasing history was empty, even though I have purchased several apps this month.
iTunes Support says this (the download part) SOMETIMES happens after an update. I asked them if it happens sometimes or every time, since it has never happened to me before. No reply. They did not address the skipping issue, either.
Anyone else with similar issues?

LENOVO A600-TV, RC related SOUND PROBLEM

There is no problem with my TV function, it is working perfectly. I connect my remote controller to TV, this is also working. After 10 minutes, remote controller(connected with bluetooth) goes into sleep mode because of battery life. when you press any button on RC it goes back to active mode, bluetooth connection is rebuilt again. My problem is about that. When bluetooth connection of my RC is rebuilt again after ten minutes of sleep mode, the sound of my TV goes of. I found two solutions about this problem. First one is not to let RC go into sleep mode by doing anything in that ten minutes which also cause battery of RC last shorter. the second one is from my BLUETOOTH DEVICE's and SERVICE's i make headphones active and after this passive or visa versa. at that moment the sound comes back but this is a lot of work in the middle of TV watching. please HELP ME. if you suggest to setup my drivers again. please send me a link. because i couldn't find a RC driver for lenovo a600. windows 7 64 bit is my operating sys.

Hello,
cannot help with the sound problem.
For memory, I've got almost the same thing but with 4 sticks of 2gb and only 2 detected on an ASUS P7P55D deluxe.
Bios was my issue but I needed to do this (but with pairs of sticks instead of sticks) after the bios update to finally get my 8gb under windows:
Make a clear cmos. Then boot the computer with only one stick of ram in the port .
If everything is fine, turn off and add the other port of the same color for dual channel.
If it does not boot with the 2 sticks in the port of the good color, try to switch ports again. Maybe one stick is dead?

Intermittent sound problems on MacBook Pro.

I have for the last few months had this intemittent sound problem. The speaker greys out and the sound 'jumps' between speaker and internal sound. The little red light inside the headphone port comes on. This could last for a few minutes and then everything is fine again. It happens when I play DVD's as well. The sound goes and the DVD practically stops playing or the picture is slowed down and jerky. Usually after ejecting the DVD and inserting it again it sorts the problem out. It used to not happen very often but for the last two days it has happened at least 5 times. It happened during a presentation once and I need this to work. Any advice please. I am worried it could be a hardware issue.

Sound problems with back line out port

Hey everyone, I just sent an email to MSI Tech Support, but figure I would post a message here as well. I just put together a new system, but I'm having a problem with the back line out port.
My problem: When I plug in the front panel audio connectors (Left Audio Out, Left Audio Return, Right Audio Out, Right Audio Return) in the motherboard on pins 5-6 and 9-10 of JAUD1, the back line out does not work properly. I get sound on only the right speaker of the headphones.
More info:
- Audio Driver: 5.10.0.5620 (from MSI CD)
- If I instead plug the headphones on the front audio line out, then sound is fine
- Here's the strange part, if I unplug the front audio connectors from the motherboard (and short pins 5-6, 9-10 with the jumpers, obviously), then the sound on the back line out works properly!
- My Windows sound settings are fine
Has anyone heard of this problem? Any ideas/suggestions of what I could try?
Could this be a defective board? Could it be bad wires on the case? Seems unlikely since both back line out and front line out work depending on what I have setup.
Help! :-)
Thanks,
icab

Steve,
I appreciate the reply, but I believe you are wrong. Yes, I have searched the forum and did find that thread. Yes, I have read the manual. The only thing that it says is: "If you don't want to connect to the front audio header, pins 5 & 6, 9 & 10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise, The Line-out connector on the back panel will not function." That's not my case since I want both ports to work (not outputting the signal both at the same time, obviously).
This can't be ByDesign. Either my board is defective or MSI is not following the Intel Front Panel I/O Connectivity Guide correctly. The whole point of having 4 wires for the front panel audio ports, 2 of the wires being Aud_Ret_R and Aud_Ret_L, is so that the audio signal is sent to the front line out and _returned_ to the back line out if nothing is plugged in the front line out.
I have an IBM machine with an intel mobo at work and it works as mentioned in the design guide.
Any other ideas, anyone? I can still RMA my motherboard, but it's a design issue, i guess I'm stuck. I never got an automated reply from MSI Tech Support, so I guess my email never went through. I'll send another email and let the forum know of the results.
Thanks,
Igor

I have sound problem with my iPhone 6 plus.
Some apps have sound, others no.
