audio chip is AD1981 me too.
Even as root:
root@bock:~# play /usr/share/sounds/shutdown1.wav
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
play stio: Failed writing default: cannot open audio device
What connection??? why doesn't pulseaudio produce a decent error message?
Hello I changed my laptop, now I have a different chipset. OSS works, but alsa no, as expected. output of: aplay -vv emergency.wav *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused aplay: main:564: audio open error: Connection refused It seems that we are not talking about a hardware-specific issue here. The symptoms vary a Here is the chipset dump aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SIS966 [HDA SIS966], device 0: ALC662 Analog [ALC662 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SIS966 [HDA SIS966], device 1: ALC662 Digital [ALC662 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SIS966 [HDA SIS966], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Cheers Antonio I was bored to death with no audio and saw that that pulse-audio stuff appeared much too often, so I decided it was time for extreme measures. Deleting (or renaming it into pulse-default.trash, for example) pulse-default.conf in the /etc/alsa directory and restarting sound system solves issue, back to fine audio again, yeah, i'm an audio guy :-) , it seems that this is not an alsa bug but instead, a pulse-audio related one, have you had any similar feedback? I will ry this on the other laptop, it's a little crippled on the display side but still very alive... Cheers tried several players, the only one complaning is mplayer, but it plays, so it seems i did the right thing. Could this have something to do with haldaemon not accurately passing strings changing alsa to the raw "hw:0" device when pulse audio is present? Don't know, but i got audacity back as well, so i'm happy. If you need me to perform some testing using an improved version of any module I'm ready to help, cause this bug has been giving me the creeps for many months. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping newer fedora release (9) coupled to a very buggy kde release proved to be completely unusable, so untestable under normal use. i am afraid to switch to 10 for the very same reason, wait and see a stable live cd. so we are stuck with the bugs or bound to change distribution. ok. it is a free world, fedora is free, and we are free to choose. long live fc8 for the moment being, will see... this bug, you may close it, and disable pulse audio for good. but still alsa is very badly supporting stable hardware, i have the proof, an alc662 on my new laptop. so debugging is needed, and without a stable and usable platform you just can't do it. take care bug hider...you remind me of a certain mr. bates... Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
