[opensuse-kde] No sound in KDE4 applications
Hi, folks, I've installed openSuSE 11.1 and I can't get any sound out of KDE4 applications. The speaker test console app works ok, and the GUI applications which are not part of KDE4 work also. I get sound in smplayer, flash, avidemux, firefox and others, but no sound from Amarok2, dragon player and other KDE4 applications. KDE3 applications play sound ok, I can use Amarok 1.4 with no problems. System notifications from KDE 4 work often, but not always. What may be causing this?

Check you phonon settings (systemsettings->audio (or "multimedia" don't remember anymore if that was changed in 4.1)). Especially the engine. You prolly want to ensure phonon-backend-xine is installed. What filetypes are you trying to play? If you could test some oggs then you could eliminate the possibility of a codec issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

There's xine and gstreamer there and I'm using xine. I've tested gstreamer too, but it was not any better (a bit worse, as a matter of fact). Before I installed openSuSE, I was running Fedora. In Fedora, at the Device Preferences tab, two devices were shown: pulse audio and the actual sound card (priority was set to pulse audio). Here in openSuSE, only the sound card is shown, although I have pulse audio installed too. Is this right? Shouldn't pulse audio be available in this dialog? The pulse audio daemon is running, but it seems it's not being used.

I tried mp3, wav, ogg, mpg, flv and wmv. The same files can be played with sound in smplayer, so it must not be a codec issue. Anything else I should check?

Problem solved. I was able to fix it checking "Show advanced devices" in KDE4's audio configuration and then setting up PulseAudio as the higher priority device. Now sound works flawlessly for all KDE4 applications and for system notifications. Thanks, []'s Marcelo Em Qua 04 Mar 2009, Marcelo Magno T. Sales escreveu:
