[opensuse-factory] Sounds with pidgin
Running the latest openSUSE RC with updates and pidgin produces no sound for me. The environment is KDE and both ALSA and ESD are running. Sounds are enabled in pidgin preferences. Looking for some culprits here...pidgin issue, sound system, etc.? Any guidance appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I've seen an odd symptom with Gaim (Pidgin's predecessor, if I understand correctly) on my 10.0 installation. After I reboot (or possibly after I log in, but the two are virtually always one-to-one for me) sound works thoughout my system except for Gaim. If I open the KDE Control Center, go to the "Sound System" panel under the "Sound & Multimedia" section and click the "Test Sound" button then thereafter Gaim sounds work. I haven't bothered to try to track it down, since it's not something that I have to deal with very often and it seems pretty obscure.

I don't know for sure, but pidgin sounds didn't work for me when the setting was "automatic". Changing it to "ALSA" has it working now. I haven't looked to see if there is a bug filed or not. -Gary --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I tried changing to ALSA and then restarting both pidgin and ALSA with no effect. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
