I just tried sound for the first time since installing RC1
No sound. Tried checking the state of muting etc with alsamixer and get the message
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused
Is this expected?
I don't know the answer to your question but I also see these errors. I am not sure if it is due to a configuration error from routinely updating to factory for the past 10 months and might be corrected if I did a fresh install. I use KDE3 and it appears the only thing that ever starts the pulsaudio daemon, is if I use amarok with the gstreamer engine, and then I get some sound with amarok. As I normally use amarok/kaffeine with a locally compiled xine-lib, I don't get any sound. I ran: # mv /etc/asound-pulse.conf /etc/asound-pulse.conf.XXX Now alsamixer works... Yast2 can test and adjust the volume and the KDE3 sound system now provides sounds... and I no longer get error dialogs from kaffeine about not finding any audio drivers.... So my question(s) are: Is "pulseaudio -D" supposed to be started by a bootscript or when logging in to the GUI via xdm/kdm/gdm? Or is one just supposed to gut out the pulseaudio configration when using KDE3? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
