On nearly a daily basis, pulseaudio breaks down. When an app tries to play a sound, it will trigger behavior where the speakers just emit a click or beep once per second. The click or beep is usually a portion of the sound that was trying to be played, such as part of a pidgin beep, or a thunderbird pop indicating new mail has arrived. When PA gets into this state, a 'killall -9 pulseaudio' fixes the problem. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 598737] New: PCM audio level is set to zero on a default install

I have observed this behaviour on fresh installs of both the LiveCD and the installer DVD. The solution is simple, but this isn't a solution, it's a workaround. The default audio level should *not* be zero. It isn't so in most other popular OSes / distros. Note that I haven't tested this with other versions/platforms. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install a fresh copy of openSUSE 11.2 KDE x86_64 2.Try playing an audio or video file in Kaffeine or Firefox Actual Results: No audible sound is heard from the speakers. Expected Results: There should be some amount of audible sound produced.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778425 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=778425#c0 Summary: Can't get sound out of my speaker jack.

It works fine in Windows, both out of my rear speaker jack and my front headphone jack. However, in OpenSUSE 12.1 (which I freshly installed) I can only sometimes get audio out of the front headphone jack and I cannot get any audio out of the rear speaker jack at all. I tried updating to ALSA 1.0.25 in both the user space and the kernel space, but this did not help. Currently: cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25-git20120824.

[Bug 782897] New: Sound volume is restored incorrectly after reboot

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782897 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782897#c0 Summary: Sound volume is restored incorrectly after reboot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai(a)suse.com ReportedBy: andysem(a)mail.ru QAContact: qa-bugs(a)suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1 I have a problem with restoring sound volume after reboot. When system boots the sound volume is always set a fixed particular level. However, kmix seem to remember the volume from the previous session because when I modify volume with multimedia keys the volume gets restored. Kmix is configured to restore volume on startup but the setting doesn't seem to have any effect. I checked the sound volume in pavucontrol right after boot, and the indicated volume was the same as before the reboot. So it looks like pulseaudio does remember the volume correctly but something else overrides it on boot. I also looked at sound settings in Yast for my sound card. There is Other->Volume menu, and there the volume slider is always at 88%. Presumably, this is the volume level that is set right after reboot (while my typical volume in kmix is around 60%, so when I modify the volume first time after reboot it gets more slient). I can change it and press OK but it won't save changes (when I open the settings next time it is still at 88%). I'm using Tumbleweed based on the 12.2 release. However, I had this problem long before the upgrade to 12.2 and even on a fresh 12.1 release, as I remember. I'm using pulseaudio. I have ASUS Xonar D2X sound card connected to a 5.1 analog audio system. I also have another digital sound card built into a Nvidia video card (I don't use this sound card). The problem does not appear when I re-login, only after a full reboot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set some volume in kmix. 2. Reboot. 3. Play some sound (e.g. in a media player). Actual Results: The sound volume right after reboot is different from the previous session. If you modify the volume, the volume gets restored immediately. Expected Results: The sound volume should be restored correctly after reboot.
