Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.3) OS: Linux Kmix does not show USB mic (usb cam) after system start, i need to unplug and plug USB cam again to view USB mic tab. I hope that problem is in kmix, because arecord show USB mic corectly after system start and in KDE 4.4 this worked without problem. It's very annoying because i can't setup volume for skype. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Start yout system and open kmix, USB mic tab isn't there. Unplug and plug in USB mic and USB mic tab appears in the kmix. Expected Results: Kmix should show USB mic tab after first start.
Am i the only one with this problem ?
There is sometimes strange ALSA behavior during login. It might be fixed, see bug 209975. Please try again with KDE4.7 or KDE4.8 and report back until March 2012.
Hi i have new info. When i add view, and select USB device, all control, then USB mic is showing correctly. But after this, when i quit kmix and start it from console then i can se this kmix(5865): Cannot load profile "ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x8d7.1.default" . It was removed by the user, or the KMix config file is defective. so there is some problem with profiles.
Thanks for the feedback. But the problem might still go away with KDE4.7.1 or KDE4.7.2. Please try again with KDE4.7.1, KDE4.7.2 or KDE4.8 and report back until March 2012.

I add view to USB mic, but after kmix restart i see kmix(2705): Cannot load profile "ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x8d7.1.default" . It was removed by the user, or the KMix config file is defective. and i need to add device again. If you need some more info please tell, because this behaviour is so annoying. Thanks Maritn P.S. I have deleted kmix profile, so it's not related to previous version.
Hi Still the same problem with KDE 4.8.3. Can you please resolve this ? If you need more feedback please ask. Thanks Martin
Currently I have no idea what is going on. You can try to remove all kmix related configuration files. Quit KMix (CTRL-q) from the KMix Window and then remove the kmix configuration: rm -Rf ~/.kde*/share/apps/kmix/ ~/.kde*/share/config/kmix*
So i deleted configs, and after first start USB mic tab shows ok, but when i restart kmix then i get the same error kmix(10755): Cannot load profile "ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x81b.1.default" . It was removed by the user, or the KMix config file is defective.
Do you find some file called similar to ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x81b.1.default ? If yes, please upload it here.

The attached file looks fine. It is really strange. I will try to take another look. (remark: could it be an issue with colon or dot ( : , . ) characters?)
I try to run kmix with strace and it seems that kmix has problem with config filename. [pid 4283] access("/home/komodo/.kde/share/apps/kmix/profiles/ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x81b.1.default.xml", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 4283] access("/usr/share/kde4/apps/kmix/profiles/ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x81b.1.default.xml", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 4283] write(2, "kmix(4283): Cannot load profile \"ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x81b.1.default\" . It was removed by the user, or the KMix config file is defective. \n", 143kmix(4283): Cannot load profile "ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x81b.1.default" . It was removed by the user, or the KMix config file is defective.
Just one thing. There is file ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d.0x81b.1.default.xml so it seems, that there is problem with filename, because it searches for ALSA.USB_Device_0x46d:0x81b.1.default.xml
Oh, now I get it. There is a "." in the first one and a ":" in the second one. This is very interesting. I'll take a look.
After a long development pause I am cleaning the bug list again. I found the problem of this bug and fixed it for KDE 4.13. I will attach a patch that could go int KDE4.12 if I find some time.
Created attachment 84162 [details] Patch that could possibly go into KDE 4.12 and should be compatible even with 4.11
As there will be KDE4.13, and due to time constraints, this bug will be fixed only there: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.13_Release_Schedule
