Description nostromo 2012-11-23 17:55:22 UTC
Using Alsa in Unbuntu 11.04 when deleting all feeds after they are read a message pops up that the analog multimedia system part of the sound card is no longer working -though running a video in VLC shows it is...so while functionality seems not to be affected the occurrance of a pop up seems bizarre.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mark all feeds in akregator as read
2.select all feeds under "Feeds" heading right click and click on delete
3.
Actual Results:  
a pop up saying analog multimedia portion is no longer working

Expected Results:  
expect no pop-up related to sound

Using a gnome desktop in Ubuntu 11.04 (now no longer supported) and Alsa sound system to support Qjackctl with PulseAudio removed since it interferes with Alsa/Jack operation and not inclined to upgrade since the new interface in Ubuntu 12 etc. being forced on us due to misguided rulers of Ubuntu pandering to 'touch screen' type almost computers for the masses leaves no choice except to have to do the custumizations to the new desktop to make it an old style desktop and would have to do all the alterations for sound I have already done to get Alsa and jack to work. Have tried KXStudio which doesn;t work with clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 upgraded to current Ubuntu 12.xx nor does Ubuntu Studio work out of the box. New desktop in Ubuntu is an equivalent misdesign to say Windows 8. Good products gone stupidly bad following phone interface fashion abandoning historical 'desktop' features dumbing down the world to the lowest common denominator ignoring the previous experience of desktop users which should be built on because people are already trained in it versus abandoned losing ease of adoption. Don't fix what works well withsomething that may work ok but doesn't work well with people used to what already worked well. DUH. If anything there should be versions that may or may not overlap functionally so people can choose and let the best version win.
Shoving a single solution down the consumer's throat means choice may mean not adopting the new at all...a dead end backwardization of the interface. Much more could be said and yes it seems unrelated to the bug report but its not. Jumping through hoops to make Alsa and Jack work in 11.04 was enough starting all over to make them work in 12.04 I tried and just say no.
TOo bad Unbuntu is going down the wrong path.

almost 3 years later.
no idea if anyone fixed or looked at this and we don't have a backtrace either.

think I resolve then, if you still care about this and provide a backtrace please reopen.
