Correctling component. Myriam, isn't this a duplicate? I think I've seen something similar lately. Well, yes, it is due to the phonon-backend-gstreamer, not an amarok engine problem, or do you see amarok in any of these threads? Steve, please install the phonon-backend-vlc, change it in the Amarok Settings menu -> Configure Amarok -> Playback -> Configure Phonon, then restart KDE to make this backend change take effect. OK, added the phonon-backend-vlc package, and it really messed up my sound. I seem to have things back to normal now, after maybe 3 or 4 reboots, and playing with various permutations of the sound system settings. And, it is still hanging on second 2 or 3 of playback, occasionally. It will usually unstick itself after some minutes, and play a new song. When it sticks, the play/pause button seems to go into strange states. Usually, the best way I've found to unstick it is to go to the pane on the right, where the currently playing song is highlighted, and double click it to start it over again. I've been playing songs for mayber 3 hours now, and have it get stuck 3 or 4 times so far. Thank you for the feedback. If you say back to normal, you mean with the vlc backend or did you change that back? I left the vlc backend alone, and tried to make everything work around it. For intance, my muted-pa broke, because the slot number of the card changed from 1 to 4, to pulseaudio's "pacmd list-sinks". 1 isn't even in the list. 0: <alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo> 2: <combined> 4: <alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo> There are two sound interfaces; one on the motherboard (analog-stereo), and one on the old bttv card I was hoping to use with the radio players. Roughly the same happened all over pulseaudio. Any stored config in the music player now no longer worked. Silence reigned. Once I got beyond the confusion, the same old problem still exists. Occasionally, the player just stops playing at 0:02 on the "clock". It will hold there for several minutes, then suddenly lurch back into sound generation in the middle of the next or third song. While in this wait state, if I hit the pause button, the 0:02 ----- -3:10 on the progress bar now change to 3:13 ----- 0:00; the pause button remains a pause button. The Amarok "Paused" popup comes up. I hit the pause button again. Nothing changes, the Amarok "Paused" popup comes up briefly again. I double click on the current song (or some other), and I force Amarok to start playing again. The "autopause" happens once every hour or two. Thank you for the feedback, This is the same issue than bug 299654 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 299654 *** |
