Description Andreas Krebl 2004-01-22 18:56:12 UTC

Version:           1.2rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.3 
OS:          Linux

After starting kde the cpu works at 100%.
Some minutes (1 or 2) later I get the following message:
sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting

Today (22.1.2004) I tried arts from cvs.
Cpu also works at 100%. But I takes about 10minutes to the error message.

I use a via8233-soundchip.

Since about 2 weeks I have the same Problem mit debian unstable (arts 1.1.15 I think).

Comment 1 Sami Nieminen 2004-01-23 21:28:39 UTC

I had the same problem, when using 2.6.1-mm1 and other -mm kernels, which contain ALSA 1.0.1 patch. The workaround was to select "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" on Sound System setup instead of "Autodetect".

Comment 2 Andreas Krebl 2004-01-23 22:20:07 UTC

I tried the workaround Sami recommended. - But it doesn't work to me.
At the moment I use kde3.2 from cvs. Today 23.01.2004 there is no error message and cpu runs normal after startup. I can play music with noatun, but I do net hear any sound. All mixersettings are up and unmuted.

Comment 6 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2004-01-27 14:01:47 UTC

This problem is caused by the fact that ALSA OSS emulation is somewhat buggy and that arts autoDetect prefers OSS emulation over native ALSA support.

Attaching a fix, verified to work here (Ark Linux 1.0a10 w/ kernels 2.4.25pre7 and 2.6.2rc1) with both the ALSA and OSS drivers for my soundcard.

Comment 7 hanno 2004-02-09 15:53:00 UTC

I also have this problem, which is very strange, because I disabled arts in kde control center.
So what is creating this messages, although I have no arts running?

Comment 8 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2004-02-10 09:25:37 UTC

Fix is attached to bug 73461

This problem appears to be marked Resolved, but just today (17th Mar 2004) using the latest arts / KDE I can find it happened to me.
