[opensuse] OS 11.0 sound troubles (VLC related?)
Hi all, Still working through the fallout from a new install of 11.0. I find that I have a strange "kill the sound" problem trying to use VLC. I did the 'one click install' thing for this, but it's not working right. The thing seems to mostly work, but I get no sound. Also, _after_ I've tried to run vlc, it has killed all sound. Even the test tools in the control center/sound don't work. When I run it, this is the (pertinent) output: [00000465] a52 decoder: A/52 channels:2 samplerate:48000 bitrate:192000 *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused [00000481] oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp) [00000481] pulse audio output error: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused [00000481] pulse audio output error: Pulse initialization failed No accelerated IMDCT transform found [????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 42.0 failed with error code 8: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Then after, when testing, this is the output: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused Any suggestions? Normally, sound does work on this machine and installation, it just seems to be vlc that kills it. TIA, Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

Hi,
[00000465] a52 decoder: A/52 channels:2 samplerate:48000
bitrate:192000
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused [00000481] oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp) [00000481] pulse audio output error: Failed to connect to server: Connection refused [00000481] pulse audio output error: Pulse initialization failed No accelerated IMDCT transform found [????????] x11 video output error: X11 request 42.0 failed with error code 8: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
I assume you have vlc 0.9.6 or 0.9.7, right? You have the vlc-aout-pulse package installed? If so, on OSS 11.0 I 'sometimes' had the issue with pulse audio in gerenal ( it got much better in 11.1). So the solution 'might' be for you to simply uninstall all pulse audio related packages and 'switch' pack to plain ol' ALSA. Hope this brings you on the right track, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I see: $ rpm -q vlc-aout-pulse vlc-aout-pulse-0.9.6-2.6 $ rpm -q vlc vlc-0.9.6-2.6
If so, on OSS 11.0 I 'sometimes' had the issue with pulse audio in gerenal ( it got much better in 11.1).
Hmmm, so maybe I start this all again in 18 days?

What do I need to do to achieve that? Do I simply do rpm --erase vlc-aout-pulse-0.9.6-2.6 Or is there more to it than that?
Hope this brings you on the right track,
Dominique

That's fine

Easiest is to use yast and uninstall pulseaudio itself (it will try to drop many dependencies... check if nothing 'vital' for you disappears.. normally you should be able to accept it).

Doing that, and reconfiguring to use OSS sound has worked. ALSA quit working after I took pulse out, but the OSS stuff seems to be working just fine in all the uses I have for it so far, so I'm a happy bunny. Many thanks for your help!
