Package: gnome-media-2.30.0-1.fc13

OS Release: Fedora release 13 (Goddard)


How to reproduce

1. System -> Preferences -> Sound

Comment

Following the above steps with the internal audio device instead did not crash, but brought up the speaker test as expected.

Comment 3 Greg Trounson 2010-08-18 23:56:55 UTC
By removing the  ~/.pulse directory and restarting pulseaudio, I was able to run the audio test successfully. So that may be a possible workaround.

The workaround listed here also worked for me.

Incidentally, I'm impressed that abrt found this bug and did the Right Thing by appending my comment instead of creating a duplicate. This also allowed me to find the workaround quickly. :)

Comment

I'm on a Samsung M60 Laptop, which has a long history of sound difficulties on Linux (different ones) for me. The sound worked a few days ago (without too much intervention I think) and now doesn't anymore. So I tried the sound preferences - and detected that crash in gnome-volume-control. Well, I think the program shouldn't just crash but at least print a message. Additionally, only one hardware device is shown, but I think there might be two (one standard and one for the HDMI output). The other options (digital etc) don't crash the application but don't give any sound either.

Comment 23 Bug Zapper 2011-06-01 11:23:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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

Comment 24 Bug Zapper 2011-06-28 14:33:25 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
