Asked by Johnsandman

I was using banshee then my sound sounds a beep and I cannot do anything to stop the sound engine. I also was using firefox and amsn was on. I needed a hard reboot for getting back into my laptop.

hoping below will tell you what is going on if you need more specify tekst please let me know and if i can find it I will put it on this request too

I wonder if you can tell me what is going on.

Well to solve sound issues maybe something in one of these 2 guides might help

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

Also i found it helps to go up to a blank space on the top taskbar and right-click on it, choose "Add to panel" and scroll down to about halfway down the list. The icon of a broken window beside the title "Force Quit" - add this one. Then any-time an application mis-behaves you can click on the icon and then click on the window that's mis-behaving in order to force it to close. In linux a single app misbehaving shouldn't be able to freeze everything up so it sounds like a bug to me (as Benny said) and so you might be best off using Banshee's "Help" menu and choose "Report a problem" to post this as a bug-report then hopefully someone will be able to fix it :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
