[opensuse] PulseAudio and opensuse 11.2
Q: anybody using pulseaudio? any problems? I was using pulseaudio under opensuse 11.1 and I was very satisfied, opensuse 11.2 does not use pulseaudio as default. I'm wondering if there are additional or different problems with opensuse 11.2 and pulse audio or it is just because some users had problems? I have all the package installed with the exception of pavucontrol which I have just added so, should I set it as default? I appreciate your feedback. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you using gnome? if so, pa is the default sound server. -- Kind Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, KDE 4.3.1. I do have gnome installed.. How is pulseaudio working under gnome. Do run it in all the multimedia applications, mplayer, amarok, etc? Thxs, -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Is working quite fine with all my applications. I had an issue, though it has an easy workaround (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555643) Can't help you with KDE. I assume they're using alsa. -- Kind Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That sentence doesn't make sense. ALSA is the kernel's sound architecture, used by nearly all userspace applications including GNOME and KDE. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Change it to: kde is not using pa. -- Kind Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Wrong :) The KDE phonon framwork can use pa and does so by default. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Actually, your wrong, KDE does not use pa by default (thankfully). By default it is disabled for KDE. From the release notes: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/ReleaseNotes11.2 KDE installations of openSUSE 11.2 do not install PulseAudio by default.

Hmm, OK. So it seems that going 11.1->factory->11.2 made things different. I had pa installed and enabled and thus had to throw it out manually (zypper rm pulseaudio). Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

"Release Notes for OpenSuSE 11.2 PulseAudio and Sound in GNOME Applications KDE installations do not install PulseAudio by default. PulseAudio will be installed automatically if an application, which requires it is installed, but it must still be enabled in YaST to hear sound in these applications. To enable PulseAudio in YaST, open YaST > Sound Module and click 'Other'. Select 'PulseAudio Configuration', then check 'Enable PulseAudio Support'.

One major issue with Pulse Audio is Skype. The latest (Beta) Skype is a major pain if you want to use it with a USB headset. It can be configured to use the headset, but it's messy to say the least.

Clayton I have it running very well under opensuse 11.1. They key was to install pavucontrol. Well I assume you are running pulseaudio now under opensuse 11.2. I just try to get a feeling before I jump into it. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had one run with Skype and Pulse Audio in 11.2, got annoyed by it and ripped Pulse out again.. I'm back on ALSA for now. Installing pavucontrol works.. kind of... but it is super annoying to set up Skype to use a USB headset. I had to do things like initiate a call (test call worked for this) and then quick open pavucontrol, find the audio stream and assign it to the device I wanted, cross my fingers and hope it worked... after hit/miss a few times I did get it to work the way I wanted... as I said, it can be configured, but it's messy... unnecessarily so... and totally incomprehensible for a new user wanting to do this. This isn't limited to openSUSE... applies to all distros using the latest Skype and Pulse Audio. Also with Pulse Audio I notice that sounds are clipped... especially the shutdown sound for KDE4. I'll give Pulse a go again... maybe with the next release of Skype :-P C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
