Sound Trouble Update
There appear to be two problems which may or may not be inter-related:
- Loss of Sound on Cold Boot
- Yesterday when this happened did a warm start with the same result. No sound from VLC Player, M Player and Adobe Flash Plugin. Verified h/w connections by playing sound from another o/s, following which Lisa restarted with sound.
- Today on Cold Boot again no sound.
- Restart did not cure the problem,
- but suspecting an initialisation glitch, (Snapshots did not snap) booted another o/s which emitted the starting fanfare,
- restarted Lisa and got boot-up fanfare and sound back.
- Shut down PC came back later and booted Lisa. No boot fanfare. Restart gave same result. Regained sound by starting Katya (Just Katya live exhibited same symptoms, Katya live persistent did the trick!) to initialise whatever there was to do with the driver or the sound card, after which Lisa anoounced itself with the normal fanfare and ran with sound.
- VLC Player loses Sound after Long Pause in the Play of a Media File. Instance where M Player has sound. Presume other players OK.
