Brumfield 2010-03-07 22:30:06 UTC --- Someone on the forums mentioned they had the same problem, but could get audio working again with the following command: rcalsasound restart But they had to do this with every reboot. -- 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.

Brumfield 2010-03-23 17:38:44 UTC --- rcalsasound restart didn't end up working for me on any of the boxes I tested. However, I was able to fix the issue by replacing the openSUSE default packages with ones from Packman. However, that doesn't change the fact that the default openSUSE packages still appear to be broken. (In reply to comment #2)

The above doesn't really work for me. I'm on opensuse 11.2 running the KDE 4.4 "Factory" desktop. And when I was with 4.3.whatever everything worked. When I went to 4.4 phonon started misbehaving and now sound no longer works. Other apps which use pulseaudio/alsa work fine - just KDE apps don't work. I've tried switching back and forth among the gstreamer and xine backends without luck. Also, KDE 4.4 includes a native pulseaudio backend- I filed a bug about this already - but it is not enabled! A simple BuildRequires in the phonon specfile would probably eliminate 90% of the sound issues people have with kde.

Brumfield 2010-03-23 17:47:11 UTC --- Yast now has a feature where you can switch all packages to a given repository, so I let Packman overwrite all the openSUSE packages. However, I believe the relevant packages here are probably the phonon backend engines. I don't think Packman provides the Qt/phonon base packages, but they do provide gstreamer and xine engines. -- 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.

Brumfield 2010-06-17 14:27:24 UTC --- I've done some more openSUSE installs and had this same problem on even more hardware. Normally, I just allow the Packman repositories to overwrite the broken ones in the main openSUSE repositories. But with this last install I wanted to find another solution. I tried adding my user account to the audio group, and then the stock Phonon packages started working. However, the installer does not add the audio group by default. -- 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.
