Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Suddenly sound stopped working for me. I notice that backed no longer show digital device. It shows just analog one and pulseaudio. I'm using kde 4.3.86 on opensuse 11.2 X86_64.
Here is my alsa-info. http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=02b73fc5f119b1e72c6c88b7e8912f0e00acafe5 I noticed that digial device was considered as advanced device and hence not showing up. I could turn that option and see it. I kept it as higher priority but still no audio. phonondevicesrc is as below: [AudioDevice_HDA Intel, STAC92xx Digital\nIEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output_playback] cardName=HDA Intel, STAC92xx Digital (IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output) deleted=false deviceNumber=-1 hotpluggable=false iconName=audio-card index=-3 initialPreference=30 isAdvanced=true [AudioDevice_pci:8086:284b:1028:01f3:0:capture] cardName=HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog) deleted=false deviceNumber=0 hotpluggable=false iconName=audio-card index=-4 initialPreference=36 isAdvanced=false [AudioDevice_pci:8086:284b:1028:01f3:0:playback] cardName=HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog) deleted=false deviceNumber=0 hotpluggable=false iconName=audio-card index=-1 initialPreference=36 isAdvanced=false [AudioDevice_pci:8086:284b:1028:01f3:1:playback] cardName=HDA Intel (STAC92xx Digital) deleted=false deviceNumber=1 hotpluggable=false iconName=audio-card index=-2 initialPreference=35 isAdvanced=true [Globals] nextIndex=5
Given the age and running KDE 4, I'm closing this as unmaintained. Let us know if it's not working more recently.
