Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting

When booting Q4os I get this error : Sound server fatal error:
cpu overload, aborting
this is only on Q4os

Which I don't think has any affect on the system..I have other sound problems but they are also on my other operating systems...eg loud noise on you tube videos etc..

Re: Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting

Please specify your hardware, at least CPU and RAM size. Run following terminal commands and put output here to analyze:
$ dpkg -s pulseaudio | grep -i status
$ dpkg -s rtkit | grep -i status
$ uname -a

If you could post the output of inxi -F it would describe your system fully, you may need to install inxi first.

Re: Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting

I don't think I will be able to help on ths as it is Pi and I do not yet have a box for testing...
Secondly could you surround your terminal output in the post with code blocks

[code]your text here[/code]

as it will make it more readable (or maybe it's just me )
And also if you could post the output from the commands the dev team requested too (they are more likely to be able to help with this)

Re: Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting

We would recommend you to check 'rtkit' package. It could be the source of audio system issues, please see this topic http://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5246#p5246
