I am facing sound problem in my onboard, real tech card, using alsa. I am
using Ubuntu 8.04. When i go to play some video or something like that with
firefox, it plays. But, just after that, if i wanna play something from my
hard drive, sound gone away, but the sound of firefox remains. I need to
reload my alsa with *
alsa force-reload. *After this reloading, sounds comes from hard drive.
But, same thing happens again, if i gonna play something with browser.
As someone has said this indicates that some "sound daemon" is
locking your audio device. Perhaps this is "pulseaudio" which was
hurriedly released along with Ubuntu LTS. If you installed the
browser directly from mozilla.org then you should mention that.
- look on the ubuntu fora or ask your question there
- usually you can reconfigure iceweasel to use a different
sound system with
dpkg-reconfigure -plow iceweasel
choose native or alsa (not OSS!).

Kapil.
