Did it happen on any earlier versions of 11.2 milestones? Can you attach the pulseaudio log?
How is the log file called and where can I find it, please?
Also, please run alsa-info.sh, and attach the generated file.

In doubt, try to restart PA once: % pulseaudio -k % pulseaudio If the problem persists, could you try to downgrade the pulseaudio and related packages to the ones on 11.2M6? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

From where can I install the M6 package version? I do not have an M6 installation medium. PA restarts itself permanently. "pulseaudio -k" is useless. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Indeed PA behaves weird there. The second card that fails to load is a TV tuner, so maybe PA doesn't suppose it. Try once to run "modprobe -r saa7134_alsa" to remove the TV card driver. I guess the problem goes away? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
