I am getting the same errors ... ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: Permission denied ALSA lib pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1433:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returne ... etc. etc. ... on a fully updated Fedora 11 system. With alsa-plugins-pulseaudio installed, the errors change to ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1433:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused However, I seem to be unable even as root to get sound working (system-config-soundcard remains silent). My alsa-info is here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6deef50d6292ea1dcb05b2f78823c1214094abff I'm pretty sure I worked around this problem. It's been a while - I ended up just pouring a bag of lime on Fedora because it sucks. If I remember correctly (which I probably don't), I edited a config file in /etc it was either asound.conf , libao.conf , or similar (it may have been in /etc/alsa or some other sub dir) You basically have to go around and find these little config files (especially the one described above) and remove "pulse" or the like from them and replace with "alsa". It's ridiculous. There is a webpage about doing it under Ubuntu that I used to do it at: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/ubuntu-904-jaunty-keeping-the-beast-pulseaudio-at-bay/ good luck. PULSE AUDIO (and gnome for that matter) SUCK! What ever happened to KDE 3.5?? That desktop environment is rock solid and the arts sound server can be disabled (or enabled) with one click! I can't believe how many of these distro's have "vista syndrome". This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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 Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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. |
Description of problem: Sound can NOT play as a regular user. The 'beep' sounds fine (through external speakers via 'pcspkr' module). All sound drivers , etc. load fine. Sound plays fine as root (because that's the permissions on the related dev nodes). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux kernel 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 Fedora 10 (with current updates) How reproducible: Always, as regular user. Steps to Reproduce: 1. aplay file.wav 2. 3. Actual results: ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: Permission denied ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: Permission denied ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: Permission denied ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: Permission denied ALSA lib pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:608: audio open error: Permission denied Expected results: (sound!) =) Additional info: $ lsmod Module Size Used by sunrpc 156052 3 ipv6 230516 20 dm_multipath 17164 0 ppdev 10500 0 dcdbas 10272 0 snd_cs4236 18188 0 snd_opl3_lib 12800 1 snd_cs4236 snd_hwdep 10500 1 snd_opl3_lib snd_cs4236_lib 17792 1 snd_cs4236 snd_mpu401_uart 10368 1 snd_cs4236 snd_seq_dummy 6660 0 snd_rawmidi 22528 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_cs4231_lib 24832 2 snd_cs4236,snd_cs4236_lib snd_seq_oss 30364 0 snd_seq_midi_event 9600 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 48576 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 10124 5 snd_opl3_lib,snd_seq_dummy,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 42496 0 snd_mixer_oss 16896 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 65924 3 snd_cs4236_lib,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 22024 4 snd_opl3_lib,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 50616 15 snd_cs4236,snd_opl3_lib,snd_hwdep,snd_cs4236_lib,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_seq_dummy,snd_rawmidi,snd_cs4231_lib,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9416 1 snd ns558 8320 0 snd_page_alloc 11016 2 snd_cs4231_lib,snd_pcm gameport 13452 2 ns558 floppy 51988 0 serio_raw 8836 0 3c59x 40232 0 mii 8192 1 3c59x joydev 12736 0 i2c_piix4 12688 0 parport_pc 25620 0 parport 31956 2 ppdev,parport_pc ata_generic 8452 0 pata_acpi 7680 0 radeon 237912 2 drm 158260 3 radeon i2c_algo_bit 8836 1 radeon i2c_core 21396 4 i2c_piix4,radeon,drm,i2c_algo_bit ('pcspkr' blacklisted by me; I hate that beep!) $ ls -l /dev/snd/ total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 116, 8 2009-05-17 16:45 controlC0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 116, 5 2009-05-17 16:45 hwC0D0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 116, 4 2009-05-17 16:45 midiC0D0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 116, 7 2009-05-17 16:45 pcmC0D0c crw-rw---- 1 root root 116, 6 2009-05-17 16:45 pcmC0D0p crw-rw----+ 1 root root 116, 3 2009-05-17 16:45 seq crw-rw----+ 1 root root 116, 2 2009-05-17 16:45 timer $ ls -l /dev/dsp crw-rw---- 1 root root 14, 3 2009-05-17 16:45 /dev/dsp ... Like I said, everything works fine as super user. I currently have pulse-audio removed / disabled (I hate sound servers!) - the problem was the same before I did that.
