Bug Description

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Some time (not always) my system does not have sound until I reboot.

The only thing I have seen are this syslog/dmesg messages every second, even when there is no sound to playback.
[ 5225.020139] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
[ 5226.020131] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
[ 5227.020124] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
[ 5228.020493] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86
[ 5229.020109] 3:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86

Symptoms are:
- no mixer icon in tray bar
- audio players like rhythmbox look as they would play but they dont
- system->preferences->sound only shows message "Waiting for sound system to respond"

Problem solved (for me):

It was my QuickCam. Immediately after unplugging i was able to start Rhythmbox and hear sound.

The question remains:
Why does pulseaudio completely block sound functions if a device which was not even used makes trouble.

Same issue for me (with audacity) but only after upgrading yesterday for the first time after Christmas. After rmmoding snd_usb_audio and snd_usb_lib audacity worked fine again and it was possible to use the (video facilities of) webcam again.

I guess either the lock occurs in pulseaudio or in the kernel modules.

Also affected by this bug, I also have a logitec Quickcam connected to the system.
It appears when I switch from one user session to another, sometimes the system seems to be freeze, but when I switch t the console (Alt+F1) I witness it's steel working, and the message "Cannot set from 16000..." is printed every second
To conclude I will say that if the user know what to do, cause he is friendly with Ubuntu console commands it can go ahead. In other case, if the user is just a poor user, the system for him is freeze and he get a poor image about Ubuntu stability... To continue to raise up the Ubuntu image I propose to set the gravity of this bug to a importance criteria different than "Undecided"

I have similar symptoms as Kris969. I also think it would be good to
assign a somewhat higher priority to this bug because of this freeze.

Here are my symptoms:

- The system seems to freeze, although "top" from the command line still
  works and shows just a few % CPU usage.

- The Workspace Switcher needs 10 to 20 seconds to switch between
  workspaces.

Here is some more technical info about my system:

Hi,

I can confirm the same bug. My logitech cam with integrated microphone (046d:09a5) seems to provoke it in combination with pulseaudio. I am using a 64-bit 10.04 Ubuntu with the newest updates.
It is an intermittent failure, it does not occur after every boot.
The annoying message "cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86" is repeated every second or so.
Pulseaudio seems to hang - I can not kill it via "killall pulseaudio" but "killall -9 pulseaudio" stops the message.
The gnome loudness applet does not work, too. But sounds still works! I can use for example skype.

Pulseaudio produces the bug message - it vanishes after killing "-9" pulseaudio.
The bug could crawl there.

greetings,
  Lew

The error message is written repeatedly on screen and even on the Alt+F1 alternate shell prompt.

I didn't notice sound problems but I can't click with my mouse (USB generic mouse). Mouse moves fine but it does not send any click messages to gnome.

Guys i wrote comment #14. I made bash script as a workaround for this problem and posted link to my workaround. Link in comment #16 is not valid so I will put valid link again: http://www.techytalk.co.cc/2010/07/logitech-e3500-webcam-and-cannot-set-freq-16000-to-ep-0x86/

My script starts at the end of boot process and checks last 30 lines of /var/log/kern.log. If it founds more than 3 occurrences of “cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0×86″ it removes kernel module snd-usb-audio form kernel and plugs it back again. Script can be modified for your error that pops up in kern.log and you can put your solution if removing snd-usb-audio doesn't work.

This problem should really get some attention. We don't need new theme every Ubuntu release or new set of icons. We need our hardware to work.

My guess is that all these troubles are related to the kernel module snd-usb-audio.

Got the same Webcam here E3500 with built in microphone. With snd-usb-audio loaded I am unable to suspend/resume (kernel-suspend) in Lucid-amd64.

Module snd-usb-audio has no suspend/resume script!

My solution is to blacklist the module (micro) in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-xyz.conf and rebuild initramfs. Now suspend and resume works smoothly.

Yes. My dirty script rmmod-s and modprobe-s snd-usb-audio module when it detects troubles and then things work again, until system restart. Without snd-usb-audio users webcam mic is not working. In fact any usb audio device won't work if you blacklist snd-usb-audio. That is like healing sick patient by killing him ;) But if someone has a lot of problems with usb device blacklisting faulty module is an option.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #583168 +++

Original bug was closed due to EOL. Bug is still present in FC14. Sometimes when system starts up the system is very slow. Taking a look at the /var/log/messages file shows a large number of entries of the form:

And a bit less but also frequently:

Login in is also very slow since it is unable to play the required sounds when selecting a username to use for login; this is the first indicator of this bug when using the system.

Must be related to the webcam and maybe to the USB hub.

I would like to emphasize that this problem is intermittent; however, I am noticing an increased frequency whenever I have 2 devices that have sound capabilities, in particular microphone sound devices.

The "sound/usb/clock.c:233" report line repeats several times (> 15 times) and the overall system response time noticeably slows to a grind. The frequency of this intermittent bug occurence appears to be more often when I have more than one audio input device connected:

Latest F14 stock kernel, pulseaudio from repo.
Mic works ok until first suspend, after which no recording is possible. Plug out/in fixes the problem.

Since i have to use custom 2.6.39-rc1+ kernel, i tried it with latest ALSA from git (needs to compile /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`/linux/include/smp_lock.h, which has been removed, i took it from 13-92.fc14 src), and it triggers new behavior :

Upon coldboot:

1.Recording seemingly possible, but recording indicator is inactive (in pavucontrol it's seen only if "All Streams" is chosen but still inactive) or "stream empty" when trying to playback.
or
2.Recording, but probably with wrong frequency, so playback of recorded sound is pitchshifted and speeded up.

Plug-out/plug-in fixes the problem unreliably. Worst of all even if it does - only before first wakeup from suspend. Then disconnect-reconnect doesn't help anymore.

A dirty workaround prooved to be functional - modules, alsa and pulseaudio have to be stopped and restarted in particular order :

Create executable script 20snd in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/
#cat /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/20snd

#!/bin/sh
#
#I'm logged in as root, so it may require adaptation.
. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"

case "$1" in
 hibernate|suspend)
killall pulseaudio
/etc/init.d/alsasound stop
#skype hangs on resume if everything sound-related was restarted
killall skype
modprobe -r snd_usb_audio
;;
 thaw|resume)
#kmods u've to reload. my specific are xfi,via. determine your with lsmod.
modprobe -v snd_hda_codec_via
modprobe -v snd_hda_intel
modprobe -v snd_ctxfi
modprobe -v snd snd_hda_codec_via snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep ctxfi snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_pcm snd_timer
modprobe -v snd_usb_audio
sleep 1
# /etc/init.d/alsasound start #probably unnecessary
pulseaudio -D
export DISPLAY=:0
#substitute root with your username
su -c - root "gmixer -d" &disown
su -c - root "skype" & disown
;;
    *) exit $NA
  ;;
esac

This fixes it for me.

Forgot to add :
I was unable to defeat this behavior, so i reverted to last stable alsa-driver.

Symptom 1 pertains to both both kernels after resume, symptom 2 only to 39-rc1+ with alsa from git.
With latest Fedora's kernel it's indeed enough to disconnect/reconnect the cam to make it work.

> A dirty workaround

Script is tested in this config :
kernel 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.i686 + alsa-driver 1.0.24
kerenel 2.6.39-rc1+ + alsa-driver 1.0.24

I am experiencing this problem, but my sound DOES work ( im using onboard spdif output for sound ).

What does not work is using my Quickcam Fusion's Microphone as a sound input ( this worked in Ubuntu 11.04 ). Now in 11.10, when I try to use it I am getting no input, and these messages:

I had some problems booting with the webcam attached ( like corruption of my lirc usb device ), but managed to solve that by blacklisting the module uvcvideo.
