When you say, "When starting pulseaudio" How are you starting pulseaudio?

You should not run PA in system mode. http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode Here is how I use it if it is any help; http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-789181.html
I killed off the pulse daemon. Now it is running as the same user as the client programs (not root). When I start pulse, I still get the same messages, including: kernel: Too big adjustment 32 Works as before, so I will leave it in my .profile for when I log in. I didn't see any mention in any of the articles exactly how they expect pulseaudio to be started.

If you don't start pulseaudio, there is no sound. I do not use Gnome or KDE desktop.
John please read; http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-789181-highlight-.html Please post cat ~/.asoundrc
I apologize, you are right, the .profile is not needed to start pulseaudio. However the output in /var/log/messages remains. This is how pulseaudio is started according to ps. /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog .asoundrc: pcm.pulse { type pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } I have no .pulse directory.

John who is ps? I never start pulseaudio myself. cat ~/.asoundrc pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse } Sets it as the default sound device then as a user run; pavucontrol to configure it > > /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog > That ^^^ will create all kinds of problems documented here; http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/WhatIsWrongWithSystemMode > > .asoundrc: > > pcm.pulse { > type pulse > } > > ctl.pulse { > type pulse > } > > pcm.!default { > type pulse > } > > ctl.!default { > type pulse > } > > > I have no .pulse directory. >
John, could you provide 'emerge --info' and 'emerge -pv pulseaudio' output?
I did not start pulseaudio myself. What I meant was that it is now starting/exiting automatically, and the output of /bin/ps -f of pulseaudio is: /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog To get it to work automatically, all I had to do is make sure it was not being started via my .profile, or /sbin/init (/etc/init.d).

Do you still see this with recent kernel, alsa-lib, and pulseaudio?
Jan 4 02:09:32 tvscribe pulseaudio[8350]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! Jan 4 02:09:32 tvscribe pulseaudio[8350]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Jan 4 02:09:32 tvscribe pulseaudio[8350]: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. This is 2.6.34-gentoo-r12 So the problem has changed or moved?

The bug is mentioned: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/329620
This looks like a driver bug, but is it possible for you to try with newer pulseaudio? (or if you are already, what version of pulseaudio are you using?)
[ Searching for package 'pulse' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-pulse-0.10.22-r1 (0.10) [I--] [ ] media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.21.1 (0)
Okay, this is almost certainly a driver issue. I'd recommend trying with the 2.6.37 or 2.6.38, and if this does not work, post on the ALSA mailing list about this problem.
I've no idea why this bug was marked restricted. Making it publicly viewable.
Could you please check with recent versions of the kernel, pulseaudio and alsa-lib and reopen if the issue is still there?
