Description Has-Jürgen Greif 2011-03-09 22:27:16 UTC

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

hello,
on opensuse 11.4 there is a big sound problem on opensuse 11.4 kde; no sound in firefox, no sound by aplay (.alert.wav is playing but there is no sound to hear) . Something blocks sound. On configuring audigy 2 I have to configure sound after each boot or login.
kmix does not come up or crashed. 

I have 2 DVD writer on this 32 bit pc and KSCD needs two CDs in 
each DVD-writer, playing one CD and displaying song information of the other CD.

Sound on opensuse 11.4 kde is a cataclysm.

Cheers,
gre

  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
try getting sound

Actual Results:  
no sound

Expected Results:  
sound in firefox , aplay ,......


OK, opensuse 11.4 system is in rc1 state.

Nevertheless  it stays there if sound is not enabled.

> no sound by aplay

You probably need to add your user to the audio group. Logout/login after the change.

For more help about setting up audio on openSUSE, please ask in an openSUSE forum, such as http://forums.opensuse.org

Hi Christoph,

having added audio group the user,   with fuser -v :
/dev/snd/controlC0:  gre        5358 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:  gre        5358 F.... pulseaudio
aplay alert.wav
Playing WAVE 'alert.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
/dev/snd/controlC0:  gre        5358 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC1:  gre        5358 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC1D0p:   gre        5358 F...m pulseaudio

nothing to hear, same old story.
