Unmute Crashes my Desktop

Post by jtaylor3222 »

Hi,

I noticed yesterday that when I pressed mute, then unmute my desktop is rendered useless, because the speaker icon flickers on and off at high speeds. I wonder if this is taking all of my cpu cycles.

Is this a known bug? Is there anyway to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

John...

To see which processes are running, open a terminal and do

ps -ef

To see which processes are hogging resources do

top

and look at the various columns (especially memory).

Use kill (need PID #) or pkill (need executable name) to kill the process.

You should be able to switch to a terminal using CTRL-ALT-F2. Then login, and run the commands shengchieh suggested.
