Ubuntu- Sound crash issue

[CrazyClone]

Help! I have been a nexuiz player for a couple years now and I just switched to ubuntu from Windows. I run Nexuiz from the glx, not sdl (since the mouse doesnt move anymore on that one). So. Usually I get into about 2-5 minute sin the game and the sound just crashes. Is there a fix?

In terminal type:

pkill pulseaudio


ALSA will take over, so you won't lose sound.

Optionality (this is what I do), set it in your startup programs to run this command.

Thank you. You use ubuntu?

Yes I do

I just learned about this trick yesterday when I was at morfars and he had the same problem on one of his computers, then he killed pulseaudio and it went nice.

Here I'm using Ubuntu 9 (beta) and I don't have this problem at all

Good to know, I was going to add this when I set up 9.04 stable on April 23rd
