sound auto-muting

[RedAstina]

Hello,

I have a problem with my sound. When I run a program for a minute or so, the sound auto-mutes. I can only turn it back on when I close the program. When it does work, it works fine.

I remember that I had this same problem with Ubuntu 2-3 years ago. Back then it was simply solved by choosing OSS instead of ALSA. But I can't find OSS in the settings or in Entropy, so I guess this is not possible.

I did not have this problem with sabayon 5.3 x64 Gnome. Right now I'm running a fresh install of Sabayon 6.0 x64 KDE with all the latest updates. I did not have this problem with the Live DVD.

My pc uses an VIA VT1708S onboard soundcard.(ASUS P5Q PRO TURBO)

Better check pulseaudio configuration. Try read this forum about pulseaudio and ALSA.

thank you for your reply, I will search the forum for those topics.
Also I tried this fix yesterday: http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Resolve_Problems_with_HDA-Intel_Sound_Cards

That seemed to work for about an hour or so, and then I was back to the same problem.
alsamixer did show the correct sound driver installed for my motherboard.

And here is someone with the same problem, but no solution... : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-758705-start-0.html
