Hi, Having a bit of trouble getting a Pi3 to play music (mp3) files :( Have a Sound Blaster Play! 3 USB , info below, and I can play the test sound form YaST sound configuration module. Yet when I want to play music using Rhythmbox, there's no sound. I installed PulseAudio but when I run pavucontrol all I get is "Establishing connection to PulseAudio. Please wait..." . That message persists even after 5 minutes. The "Audio Mixer" in the xfce setting manager provides me information as in "GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem." The information is good but doesn't really help me help myself :(, installed gestreamer packages below. If I start "pulseaudio" in a terminal and then run "pavucontrol" the only "Output Device" I can see is the "Dummy Output". Thus it appears that my problem the recognition of the Sound Blaster USB sound device, although YaST sees the device and can play the test sound. Help is appreciated.

If I may ask an obvious question... Have you tried the built-in sound? Does that work? I'd start there, eliminating issues with USB, drivers etc. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.

There's no "built in" sound. YaST only shows the USB sound device, which is why I bought the thing in the first place. Later, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU Distinguished Architect LINUX Team Lead Public Cloud rjschwei@suse.com IRC: robjo

Then it seems that there is the problem, with "raspian" sound without addidional hardware is playing fine. simoN - -- www.becherer.de -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJa/tr8AAoJEOuDxDCJWQG+3u0QAK/ZpVtTe548/TQ0MQVcoV9G ZhuhEz+CkEhqhjKYla1zJuSU9Osmbv7Gx5RcOrT82bPc4Lj+t83pH4G86GwCY9gm SlwcmYQyryL5YZTFUm0bPpz4OgHHIfgdrf9AWNPWHB8k4b4z+lrDniTIOwkbO/+a knAHIAhvyaqTCGE7Ds8xXAFmQ10ophDp9JD41vl6vFIK1nUjmEGeFOMMC0Ad7Hz5 Ei22IlbIfa8xE9QWHnqAAnnsRQt44IM/9/601LiJnSChMqlfboVzCUV5nq3Oh2hE Ph9tfhx+YiGSh4LqnfWon9dAeJ8Yp5DtyKUBnKcUXQ61TsJe2E9eS4CumBHApM+9 MAatpkl6EfI2vUUl90jqeqwFCbKmkr/tzi+3vy2fFzy1aPc4TzgCfLYRhMyT3VJZ QNlV0EhAXuVHZ9UEFUtNNKyauB0WlnByfgZBx5mVkfTxTRnlHoqevDq+AhTVfQ8F SI8rum3iQhi81VFvnQctXe7LOvoUXT2ECD1e5Z1rkbvWuJ6/9IUcL0xO9zUCTpXq sArsAr5k8cMWprlP51A6+3S4+beorKXpOc764YD/l1RZA9jrkaP4SK2Lk/+pZLRe tNfkm1CFqOU/APJdICLisdmajvPt1XZ68h2jZ9YFIku5JOo3JuZ16wDnEX4FhyRM gxjHtbo8FBbi+iujxoAF =qrc9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Interesting. Indeed, the Pi3 I have here running Leap 42.3 also says towerups:~ # aplay -l aplay: device_list:270: no soundcards found...

Hmm, the github discussion suggests it's working in 4.10. So 4.4 is probably way too old for a backport. Has anyone ever tried using the kernel of another version (TW/Leap) on a Pi3? I do this regularly on x86, but never tried on aarch64 :o -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes there is. Why do you think so many people use them for media centres and so on? Why, come to that, do you think it has an earphone socket? :-) I have not tried any form of SUSE on mine -- it usually runs RISC OS or Lubuntu -- but I think you need to investigate why the built-in sound isn't working first. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
