play a video or audio via Chrome, gnome-shell crashes as soon as I
un-mute the media player. Unfortunately, the crash does not leave a
reportable dump file.
Any ideas of what to look at?
Have you looked in journalctl? If you run
journalctl -r
immediately after the crash, you should have the latest messages at the
top (the -r reverses the log so latest are first). Is there anything
there about the crash? Also, if you do a
journalctl -b
and look at the boot messages, see if your sound device is recognized
properly. You could instead do an
aplay -lv
to see that alsa has recognized your sound devices. If you run
ps alx | grep pulse
do you see pulseaudio running? If pulseaudio is running and you run
pavucontrol, is your default device set correctly?
