[Bug 581365] New: Trying to play sound as ordinary user mutes sound until next reboot
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581365 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581365#c0 Summary: Trying to play sound as ordinary user mutes sound until next reboot Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai@novell.com ReportedBy: Tokugawa.Ieyasu@quantentunnel.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=343557) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=343557) alsa-info.sh output User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.2 Firefox/3.6 If I right away after booting run an app with audio output (amarok, kaffeine, systemsettings sound test, Yast sound test etc.) as root using "kdesu", it plays audio just fine. If I however run an app with audio output as ordinary user, I just get a short popping noise and no sound at all, and the speaker symbol in the system tray instantly changes into a "Mute" icon. Opening KMix and unchecking "Mute" apparently does nothing to un-mute the sound, as I still don't get any sound. Once the sound has been muted once like that, I don't even get sound anymore if it run an app with audio output as root! I have to reboot to be able to get sound again (using "kdesu"). PC is a desktop PC with Realtek HD Alc885 onboard sound, only stereo speakers connected. Kernel 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-01-27 08:20:11 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an app with sound output (amarok, kaffeine, systemsettings sound test etc.) as ordinary user 2. Try to play sound Actual Results: You only get a short popping noise, and sound is muted. Speaker symbol in system tray instantly changes into a "Mute" icon. Un-muting sound doesn't work, sound is muted until next reboot. Expected Results: Sound isn't muted and plays normally in apps run as ordinary user. The following has already been tried, without any success: - adding my user account to audio, pulse and pulseaccess groups (it was only in video group before) - creating a new user account - installing the newest versions of alsa, libasound2 and pulseaudio from the multimedia-kmp repository, as well as installing alsa-driver-kmp-desktop -- 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.

At first I thought it would be a rights issue, but adding my user to the 'audio' group using Yast and rebooting didn't improve anything. Any other rights-related stuff I could check? -- 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.

I'm losing sound capabilities at each reboot. YaST "sound test" is working fine, and any application launched with root privileges got sound working, but not users. Workaround : Delete sound card configuration in YaST, then readd it. I believe this issue is strongly related to the update of KDE 4.3.5/4.4.0 to KDE 4.4.1, as it seems that only users running the last available KDE are affected. -- 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.
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581365 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581365#c3 --- Comment #3 from Ieyasu Tokugawa <Tokugawa.Ieyasu@quantentunnel.de> 2010-03-16 17:56:24 UTC --- A little status update here. A few days ago I played around with the "Pulse Audio Device Chooser", made sure that all devices were properly set up, volume at full etc. After reboot, I still didn't have sound in apps run as ordinary user, *but* then I opened Yast and went to the Sound panel, and there to the volume control. After pulling the volume controls under "Other" to full (the ones above were aready at full), I noticed to my surprise that sound was working again there. I then tried sound in apps run as ordinary user, and most surprisingly, sound worked even there. Before, I couldn't unmute the sound using Yast's sound volume sliders, so obviously my settings in padevchooser changed things a bit. I've then watched the behaviour for the next few days, and it stayed the same. After *every* reboot, I have to enter Yast's sound volume control again, and all sliders under "Other" are set to 0. I found out that dragging the "Front" slider to full is already sufficient to get sound again (using stereo speakers), and sound works fine in apps run as ordinary user. Thus, while the bug isn't fixed, at least I can circumvent it now (even if it has to be redone after 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.
