[opensuse-kde] Soundproblems VIA VT1708S/nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
Hello List, i've got an new (for me new) PC and he is perfect. The only one thing, that don't really run is the Sound. I have the N68-S from ASRock and use the Onboard Sound. If i startup my PC i´m hearing the Startup Sound. If i hear Music with Amarok, or watch a movie with vlc, and a Systemsound comes up, i hear no Systemsound. I've runned alsa.info.sh http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=5caff75a106318a7f975bcc4fc666b47bc5af8ec I'm using alsa, and inside KDE i have Phonon with the xine Backend. Pulseaudio isn't installed. Has anyone an Idea? Status quo is annoying... :-( -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English)

Your system has a Intel-HDA audio interface, without hardware mixing of several concurrent streams. The solution is to use a software mixing solution like the ALSA dmix plugin, or PulseAudio. If you don't want to use Pulse, then create a file named ".asoundrc" in your home directory, with this content: pcm.dmixer { type plug slave.pcm "dmix" hint { show on description "DMix: ALSA Software Mixer" } } Select this device in Phonon configuration. For other ALSA applications, configure the programs to use the device names "plug:dmix", or "dmixer". For instance: $ speaker-text -t wav -D dmixer Regards, Pedro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

There is nothing to install, it is included in the ALSA lib. Try this command to test if it works for you: $ speaker-test -t wav -D plug:dmix (speaker-test is an utility included in the package "alsa-utils".)

(speaker-test is an utility included in the package "alsa-utils".) Yes, .asound created, and the speaker test runs too.
But if i hear music (like amarok) i can atm don´ hear a Systemsound. I can hear sytemsound before starting amarok and after press the stop swith in amarok. But since the playing i can´t hear systemsounds. Maybe i have to made finetuning? -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns open-slx GmbH openSUSE Community & Support Agent openSUSE Marketing Team Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com Web: http://www.open-slx.de (openSUSE Box Support German) Web: http://www.open-slx.com (openSUSE Box Support English)

The file name is ".asoundrc", in your $HOME please verify that the test works with either -D plug:dmix and -D dmixer

Phonon has several categories (notifications, music...) with an ordered list of devices for each category. You can place the DMix device at the top of one category using the "up - prefer" button, and apply the ordered list to other categories with the button labeled "Apply Device List To..."

The list, including the new DMix device should be available in the KDE multimedia preferences, not in YaST. You can open this KDE control panel with a command line: $ kcmshell4 kcm_phonon If this control panel doesn't show the new device, you may want to try ending the desktop session and re-login, or even reboot.

Have you tried issuing "rcalsasound restart" from a root console after logging in? Your issue may be related to http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581376.
