Description JJ 2008-01-11 03:54:44 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Juk, and other KDE4 applications using the Phonon libraries do not produce any audio on my built in HDA Intel sound card. Additionally I only have that card, so naturally it is the only thing listed in System Settings.
Comment 1 Samir van de Sand 2008-01-12 11:26:04 UTC
This bug appears on my system too. I have the same sound device.
Comment 2 JJ 2008-01-12 17:17:41 UTC
Is your card greyed-out in System Settings -> Sound. Mine was until I removed my ~/,kde4/ folder for an unrelated issue. That folder, in Kubuntu, contains all configuration files for KDE 4.0.0, so since mine is no longer greyed out and I get audio I can only assume that this is a configuration problem, but since I wasn't actually able to look at the configuration file, I don't know what the problem is. I'm sure someone else can help you out.
Comment 3 Samir van de Sand 2008-01-12 19:43:00 UTC
Thank you that resolved my problem.
Comment 4 JJ 2008-01-12 23:33:37 UTC
Okay, well I guess we'll just call the a configuration problem than.
Comment 5 Marcus Better 2008-04-08 16:40:16 UTC
Does anyone have a better idea than blowing away all of .kde4?
Comment 6 Matthias Kretz 2008-04-08 16:51:37 UTC
Did you ever use a KDE version before 4.0 (i.e. Alpha or Beta)? If yes, that might be the reason as I did not add upgrade code for some early config settings.

The relevant config files are ~/.config/kde.org/libphonon.conf and $KDEHOME/share/config/phonondevicesrc. If there's an error it's probably in the latter. If moving that file solves your problem please attach it to this report.
Comment 7 Marcus Better 2008-04-08 17:03:57 UTC
Yes, I upgraded from previous Debian KDE4 packages. It suffices to remove $HOME/.kde4/share/config/phonondevicesrc.
Comment 8 JJ 2008-04-09 21:47:55 UTC
Okay Matthias, and Marcus thank you for the information.
Comment 9 Hanno 2008-05-30 22:30:56 UTC
Phonon gave an error message for my Intel HDA AD198x, but used then instead AD198x (the first entry of HDA AD198x was greyed out). Removing the file $HOME/.kde4/share/config/phonondevicesrc solved the "problem". I encountered the problem when I upgraded from 4.0.4 to 4.0.80 kde4.1 beta1 in openSUSE
Comment 10 Hanno 2008-05-30 22:34:53 UTC
sorry i forgot to mention that I did not experience any sound problems, it was just an error message
Comment 11 Matthias Kretz 2008-05-30 23:53:35 UTC
What Hanno described is a compatibility breakage in HAL. There's nothing to be done about that, the breakage already got released :-(
