Sound detection fails from time to time
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:03 EST
Description of problem: - sometimes, KDE sound server failed to initialize and no sound is available. If i run system-config-soundcard when it fails, pannel shows only audio peripherals of my motheboard (ASUS-A8N-E)with no peripheral parameter. In that case the audio peripheral of my USB webcam is not detected. The sound test fails, and I cannot reload audio modules: system-config-soundcard asks me to reboot - when the KDE sound server is OK, sound is OK. If I run system-config-soundcard, I find motherboard peripherals AND the USB webcam peripheral. In that case, there is peripheral parameter for both. BUT the sound test still fails in spite of the fact that the sound is OK. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 7 Test 4 system-config-soundcard 2.0.6-4.fc7 KDE 3.5.6-6.fc7 How reproducible: Mean failure rate: 1 time every 4 run Steps to Reproduce: 1.launch Fedora 2. Log in KDE 3.Then an error message regarding sound server init is diplayed Actual results: No sound, even if I try to restart KDE or sound modules through system-config-soundcard Expected results: sound server OK Additional info:
Created attachment 154080 [details] scsconfig.log and scsrun.log when OK and when it fails
Created attachment 154302 [details] files modeprobe.conf - modeprobe.conf.BAD - system-config-soundcard logs
As my FC6 works fine with the same configuration, I copied the FC6 /etc/modprobe.conf in F7. Then the sound was always OK. Nevertheless, system-config-soundcard still gives errors from time to time. I put a new attachement that gives the modeprobe.conf that comes from fc6 and is OK, the modprobe.conf.BAD given by F7 and a logs from sytem-config-oundcard when it fails.
In the case where systerm-config-soundcard fails the test, if I shutdown the sound server in the KDE control center, the test becomes OK. Then if I restart the sound server, the test remains still OK.
The problem with an USB card is a dupe if Bug 232217
Please attach all your sound devices to your box, run system-config-soundcard, switch to "System" page, select "Rewrite configuration files" and reboot your box. All cards should be on the selected position (you can fidle with them on "Settings" page). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 232217 ***
