*** Bug 136543 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Over long time I am getting sound out of the box without messing with the alsamixer. Currently running: kdemultimedia-3.3.1-1 I tested the problem on a PII 350 and a Athlon 64 (32-bit Fedora C3). Both PCs are available for testing. I think, the problem is that ALSA volume settings are overwritten by the tools in the package kdemultimedia3-mixer when KDE starts. When I have a fresh installation and start gnome first everything works fine. After the first start of KDE there is no sound. SuSE 9.1 had the fault first with the new KDE Release. The Link: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/thallma_91_sndsilence.html Has someone an idea how to uninstall the kdemultimedia3-mixer and to install the alsamixer? I used SuSE many years and Fedora I know only since FC2. If any configururation files are used, I saved the path /etc before and after starting KDE. Let me know. For trouble shooting I can make a a new installation, too. My soundcard: Terratec DMX XFire 1024 Modul: snd-cs46xx I think, I found the problem. By default the volume sliders of ADC and DAC in the KMixer panel are set down (Level is 0). If KDE will be closed, these values are saved. Next start a GNOME session and check the mixer's volume sliders. If you start soundcard detection you will hear no sound. Move the lever DAC (Digital Analog Converter) up and you will hear the sound by the next test. Next finish the session and start a KDE session. Do the same with the KDE mixer (DAC slider UP). You should hear the testsound when moving up the slider. If you close KDE the values of the KDE slider positions are saved and the sound is to hear in a GNOME session, too. The reason for the problems: If I use GNOME Mixer in KDE the mixer values are not saved. KMIXER ALWAYS OVERWRITES THE VALUES. Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier. |
