Summary	0006969: ALSA: Disconnect From Audio Engine (Ardour 5)
Description	Was just playing my track in a loop and all of a sudden it disconnected from the audio engine. Using ALSA, not Jack. Got these errors: [ERROR]: AlsaAudioBackend: I/O error. Audio Process Terminated. [ERROR]: the Ardour audio engine is not connected and state saving would lose all I/O connections. Session not saved
Steps To Reproduce	Loop your track over and over
Tags	No tags attached.

I'm not recording anything but MIDI and only make instrumentals so now recording of voice, either. So I'm just using my built in soundcard, no audio interface. And ALSA mode. My computer is an Aspire V 15, V3-572G-5435

toliaferrode 2016-09-08 01:38 reporter ~0018569	I see. Thanks Paul. Since I've upgraded to the latest version it seems to have stopped for the most part. Great work on this software. It's indispensable.
