[Bug 1201528] [NEW] [Realtek ALC889] - Audio Playback Unavailable

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

This is a fresh upgrade to raring. During the weekend, I updated from
precise to quantal, and from there to raring. I did not use sound while
the system was in quantal, so no idea if the bug was present there as
well.

The symptom is:

* after some period of sound usage, playback stops working

What I mean with sound usage is:

I tried having a meeting with: mumble, skype, and google hangout, and in
all three cases, audio input/outout will work just fine for ~5 minutes,
and the playback just dies (people tell me they keep listening to me, so
mic works fine).

The only way to solve this is by rebooting. After one of the reboots, I
was able to play a 20 minute video with mplayer with no further issue.
Then opened skype and after ~3-5 minute talk, audio playback died again.
