[Bug 344580] New: no sound mixing with Alsa
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=344580 Summary: no sound mixing with Alsa Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai@novell.com ReportedBy: wolfgang@rosenauer.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I'm using several sound-generating applications but I never heard the sounds mixed but only a "first sound stream wins" behaviour. That is for example with Flash, Amarok, ogg123, Skype, ... All those are supposed to use ALSA directly but I never got sounds from there mixed on my system. I'm just using WindowMaker so no sound daemon is used. I've checked if some application uses /dev/dsp through OSS but haven't found one so I would expect sound mixing to work (either by hardware or by software). The following is my /etc/modprobe.d/sound: options snd-via82xx enable=1 index=0 # Ssy1.tRQcjYJAMiE:A8V Deluxe motherboard (Realtek ALC850 codec) alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx Hygiea:~ # hwinfo --sound 34: PCI 11.5: 0401 Multimedia audio controller [Created at pci.301] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1106_3059 Unique ID: Ssy1.tRQcjYJAMiE SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.5 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:11.5 Hardware Class: sound Model: "ASUSTeK A8V Deluxe motherboard (Realtek ALC850 codec)" Vendor: pci 0x1106 "VIA Technologies, Inc."

So, possibly you are playing more than 4 streams at the same time (or just keep opening by apps)? Check /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/info. It should show subdevices_count 4. Check whether subdevices_avail is more than zero. Also, if the problem is a kind of "the second or later apps don't fail but just no sound", then check "VIA DXS" volumes in mixer. There are 4 "VIA DXS" volumes and they all should be full, 100%. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can't remember doing that manually so the default might be wrong?

So, you (or some app) must have set to zero accidentally. (I personally don't like them to expose as mixer elements, but I got bug reports once after I got rid of them. Apparently some people think these are good. So I had to revert it...) BTW, does the sound work again after setting all DXS volumes to 100%/ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can hear multiple sound streams now.

If the sound volumes for the four DXS volumes are open at 100% and the other user logs in to his KDE the volumes 2-4 get set to zero. Since I have almost no idea about KDE my guess is that kmix is applying its saved settings which are wrong in that case and since WindowMaker has no such mixer it doesn't get restored when I login. Is that the case or is KDE doing something wrong here? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
