More details, please. PulseAudio is on by default in KDE installs for 11.4. * what does 'not working' mean? * what Firefox sound failed to work? From a Flash site? * Does the test sound in YaST2->Hardware->Sound work? * what phonon backend are you using? The default is GStreamer * what mixers does kmix show? something like "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" or the old style "Master", "Rear", etc? * did sound start working after you disabled PulseAudio? * what sound hardware do you have?

I am running a fresh M6 install here with KDE 4.6.0 pulled from K:D:F. Motherboard is a Gigabyte MA790GPT-UD3H which utilizes the Realtek ALC889A codec. I do not wish to lose the equalizer support in Amarok so I select the phonon-xine backend. Upon noticing the symptom I get from PulseAudio I immediately went in and turned it off. What happens for me is that when I may be listening to an MP3 stream in Amarok and a notification sound event occurs there is a loud click (also known as a "spitch") right at the beginning of the sound notification. It is just much too annoying to put up with. Previously, while still running 11.3 I had problems with audio in Virtualbox. Upon starting a VM vbox would pop up some error screens indicating failure and when the VM was up and running there would be no audio from it. Disable PulseAudio and no more problem. I like the concept contained within PulseAudio. But until it works at least as well (and hopefully better) than what it replaces I won't use it. I have tried on and off over several iterations (11.2, 11.3, 11.4) and it has always been a problem. Without it all my audio works as it should. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

As a former Gigabyte user (mobo died - switched to Asus). Alsa is waaay more stable than phonon. -- Cheers!

"not working" mean there is no sound at all when KDE4 as it starts - that means no sound from KDE's open alert. Pulse was turned on as default by Yast2 > Hardware > Sound or the install script from the NET install I now have KDE open alert, Amarok, kmix and Firefox working. So a version is not the problem with them. It is a PulseAudio robbing/locking effort which maybe a KDE4 or Pulse problem. I also have the latest Flashplayer installed in /usr/lib/browser-plugins. Kmix shows correctly NVIDIA nForce2 and is version 3.8 Development Platform 4.5.95 (4.6 RC2). Kmix allows all known controls under Settings>Configure Channels and are found. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

More details, please. PulseAudio is on by default in KDE installs for 11.4. Seems like I may have to add my 2cents too. I had to uninstall pulse on 3 different machines to get a sane sound setup within KDE (haven't tested gnome's pulse integration). It seems to block the soundcard, like I could only start ekiga if I turned off sound in amarok and vice versa. Phonon backend switching didn't change the situation. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sascha Peilicke http://saschpe.wordpress.com
