[ubuntu-uk] sound problem

[Paul Sutton]

Hi

Under ubuntu 8.10 running gnome and amarok media player I have just lost 
my sound,  it was playing then just stopped. but amarok indicates the 
song is stil playing but I can't hear anything (no i have not muted 
it),  if I then exit and reload amarok i get the following

Audio output unavailable; the device is busy.
xine parameters:

any idea what this means, or could point to?

I get sound back if i log out then back in again,  i have googled this 
and changed my sound to alsa, but it's still happening.

Thanks

Paul
