[Bug 579282] Re: Optical disks unmount during playback and are no longer mountable

[Ben]

More info.

the Drive Problem plagued me again yesterday.

Trying to get Skype working.  For some reason my sound hardware was not
registers at all. the only thing showing up in Pulse volume output was a
Dummy. (I was playing games just the night before and it was all working
fine)  at which point I noticed that Pulse audio Device chooser (and all
that it comes with) was not installed.

in Ubuntu 9.10 I had to install it to get Skype working.

So I installed the pulse stuff.  No change in hardware status.

however, I noticed that the optical drive auto unmounted.  opening and
closing did nothing the disk was no-longer recognizable.

So I restarted and tada all the sound hardware was working again.  But
the disk drive was still having the unmount issue.  So I uninstalled the
pulse audio device chooser stuff and tada the drive is working again.

not sure what this says but I thought i'd throw it out here to continue
the saga!
