Well this looks like a bug, smells like a bug... but how should I report it?
On my system I have a Creative Labs Audigy 4 Pro sound card AND I have connected to my computer, via a USB cable an ION turntable (which I primarily use under Windoz) YaST sound configuration was detecting this as a second sound device BUT I have been telling YaST to disable it. Which it happily reports that it is doing so.
Well I just rebooted my system, restarted Amarok playing and then projectM-pulseaudio and darned if it stopped working on me again... So I decided to try starting projectM from a command line and lo and behold I see it is trying to connect to the second DISABLED sound device from what I see is being reported in the connectHelper: line. My guess is that projectM has been connecting at random to either of these two sound devices regardless of whether one has been disabled in YaST or not... I unplugged the USB cable to my ION turntable and now YaST and the rest of the system has no choice but to see/use the Audigy 4 card for sound. AND IT WORKS! So BIG red herring that I have been chasing!!!
So which one of these tools is actually buggy? YaST? PulseAudio? projectM-pulseaudio? I cannot find adequate tools to help me isolate each of these components and track down any further what is at fault, but certainly one or more is!
I have a similar problem. I have a computer with a sound card that is detected but does not work, support is buggy. So I bought another sound card and plugged it. YaST detects both. I dissable the first one, it reports as dissabled... but it does not. I had to include it in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf: #Cer - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=564324 blacklist snd-hda-intel - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
