[opensuse] Lost audio while playing with icons
OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I have tried every combination of Pulse Audio I can think of, and the sound is gone, even tho in some cases I can see the VU bar hopping along with the input audio. And the bar underneath it is reading silence. Well that's what I'm getting! Using YouTube as a source. This worked yesterday! someone please tell me the secret of Pulse Audio. I seem to remember some time ago (in a different Linux system) there were several large windows opening to PA, but I don't see a way to get to them anymore. Just two--one on the right, one on the left, not many choices altogether. There must be some PA Maven out there--HELP! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Install Pavucontrol with Yast or Zypper. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I have that, and did. I found (by much futzing around) a combination that brought the sound back. Thanx for chipping in! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Just a hint I found in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Muted_audio_... Warning: Do not attempt to change the ALSA configuration files while using the default PulseAudio configuration. The default configuration grabs the hardware devices directly in order to allow all the on-the-fly configurations using the GUIs. Changes to the ALSA configurations will very likely be ignored by PulseAudio and ALSA applications will break randomly while trying to access an ALSA device already used by PulseAudio. If you intend to change the ALSA configurations, also configure PulseAudio manually to output to your own ALSA device and play nice with your configuration. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Best Regards Peter Ragosch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanx for your advice. However, I wouldn't dream of messing with the configurations! PA is a secret society in which I am not welcome! --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I appreciate your comment, but I really can't say what I did. I kept playing with combinations of possible choices for speakers, sources, sound, etc., while I had selected something from YouTube that would go on for a while, and suddenly I got a rash of (too loud) sound from the speakers. I would ask here how to lower the overall level, but I'm afraid to mess with it again! PulseAudio is one nasty bitch! I can turn it down with the available controls, even tho they are now at about 20% of full scale. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Don't be too harsh, Patrick. I've often been in the same position as knurpht, and each time I tell myself next time to make notes of every single change as I do it, but I never do.
