gnome-sound-properties freeze

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Added attachment from gdb.

I can confirm this bug. Gnome-volume-control and old mixer applet doesn't work either. Old mixer applet is often not visible. It also causes gnome panel to freeze sometimes. New gnome-volume-control-applet works fine but it controls pulseaudio.

Same thing with fresh live cd.

the hang seems to be a gstreamer one the stacktrace has no debug symbols though

New backtrace with gstreamer debug symbols.

New strace with gstreamer debug symbols.

sorry, again, i didn't have all symbols installed.

That may depends of sound card CA0106. With other sound cards it works fine. I have tried with snd-hda-intel and everything is ok.

Indeed, tried different sound(Creative) card and it works.

It also doesn't work on ICE1712.
Possible hint: all those cards don't have a Master volume control (in ALSA) AFAIK.

Yes CA0106 don't have Master volume control.

could somebody having access to a such card open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org?

I have a card using ICE1712 as well as one using Intel HDA in the same machine. Sometimes the window opens, sometimes not, as described in #347793. (I didn't find this bug when searching earlier and submitting that one.)

Can someone who can describe this bug properly submit to Gnome? My own programming skills are really on the wrong layer of abstraction for this. ;)

May someone experiencing the issue send this directly to bugzilla.gnome.org where the software authors could read about it? For forwarding instructions please have a look to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME ; Thanks in advance.

Ok. Bug report sent to bugzilla.gnome.org.

I have the same issue. Trying to check which soundcard I have, to report the bug in Gnome as suggested, I found that I can't find it.

Neither lshw or lspic tell me anything about a soundcard (which I have and it's working). Maybe this can help to find the issue?

there is a possible fix upstream could somebody having the bug try it?

How would i go about that?

That fix work for me atleast.

I have the same problem. Causes gnome-panel to freeze. ICE1712 (Maudio2496) like Florian's.

thanks for confirming, the change will be in jaunty

Sebastien, which fix upstream are you talking about?

I could try it...

the upstream bug is referenced on this page did you read it? it has the commit listed

I read it. I cant' say that I understand what to do with the "commit". I'm
out of my depth. If it's not too complicated, explain and I'll run with it.

there is no need to bother the fix has been confirmed to work just wait to get in jaunty now

When fix will be in repository ?

tomorrow

the new revision is in jaunty now

Sebastien et al.: Thanks so much for sorting this......My panel no longer freezes, and my ICE1712 soundcard (MAudio 2496) just fired up without the need for a custom Pulseaudio config file. Whooppee!!

Confirmation for issue fixed here too. Working with M-Audio Delta 1010 + integrated Intel HDA. :)

It's working fine now.
