Description Brian Morrison 2011-05-14 20:27:33 UTC
Description of problem: On starting CuteCW a short (fraction of a second long) tone sounds and stops abruptly, after this there is no more sound from CuteCW.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cutecw-1.0-1.fc14.x86_64


How reproducible: Every time I run the program


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start cutecw
2. Hear short beep
3. Sound disappears until next restart, with same symptoms
  
Actual results: No sound from cutecw after a short beep on startup


Expected results: Proper Morse characters should be heard


Additional info: Pulseaudio volume control is showing alsa-plugin is active as a mono source, but no sound comes out in use at any volume setting. Clearly this should work because the initial beep shows that things are connected. Sound is otherwise working perfectly in all other programs.

I have now managed to resolve this, although I am uncertain exactly how I did it.

Essentially the fix consisted of running Yumex and installing any sound-related packages that were not installed.

A side effect of this (a good side effect) is that the constant ratelimit.c warnings from pulseaudio appear to have stopped, so there was clearly something not quite right.

Sorry for the noise, I couldn't find a single mention of a problem of this nature so thought a bug report was a fair thing to make.

Marking as NOTABUG for the cutecw package.

My fix didn't last, I had Morse from cutecw for the characters it sends on startup, but then on selecting any mode and pressing the play button failed to produce any noise.

Very frustrating, but I'll have to re-open this bug. Might not be a cutecw bug though!

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 21:36:27 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
