Chrome OS Version : 0.11.159.52 Chrome Version : 11.0.671.0

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install the build. 2. Go to youtube.com and play a video and make sure sound is coming from the video. 3. Close the lid when the video being played. 4. Open the lid.

What is the expected output? Video continues to play along with audio.

What do you see instead? Video continues to play, but with NO audio. It does not pick up even sound increased to the full until browser refresh.

altamixer shows the volume at 90%.

I think this is because libflashplayer.so does not know how to recover properly if the audio stream is suspended. If you disable it so that only libpepflashplayer.so is used instead, audio should resume fine.

Some solutions might be: (1) Adjust the priority on which flash player is used by default. (2) Get Adobe to update the libflashplayer.so so that snd_pcm_recover() is called if snd_pcm_writei() fails. (3) Write an Alsa plug-in that all audio goes through that just calls snd_pcm_recover() when necessary.

Is this a regressions from R9.y?

Comment #8

Posted on Feb 23, 2011 by Happy Hippo

Regression is due to removing pulseaudio daemon and using alsa directly.

I like Dave's suggestion (2) in comment3 as a quick fix for R10. If we chose that route, can someone attach appropriate adobe person to issue.

Orit mentioned flapper in R11 which will probably make it on non-issue. I'd +1 punting to R11
