A pulseaudio problem?

Comment 2 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-02-29 11:43:06 UTC
Are you running Gnome?
Does pulseaudio start manually?
If not, what does it output with "pulseaudio -vvv"?

Comment 4 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-01 10:56:59 UTC
Seems like pulseaudio itself works perfectly.

Unfortunately I cannot reassign this as I have no idea what stars pulseaudio in
KDE. Maybe look here for some clue: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#KDE

Out of curiosity -- is your installation clean Fedora 8 installation or you
upgraded from some previous version?

Comment 9 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-01 12:40:55 UTC
As you didn't provide any more relevant information on the recommended setup,
and I'm not going to install KDE for this, reassigning this to arts hoping that
some kde guy will care more :)

*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
amixer: Mixer attach default error: Connection refused

sounds like PulseAudio simply isn't running? Do you have 
kde-settings-pulseaudio installed?

Comment 12 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-01 14:16:42 UTC
ady: I just wanted to know if following the link about "perfect setup" made any
sense to you and if they solved the problem. But that's irrelevant, Kevin
certainly knows better ;)

yeah, im install this version kde-settings-pulseaudio-3.5-34.fc8 btw as right
now im reinstall fc8 but x86_64 and headphone sound work but not speker sound
also as speker volume control.

Comment 14 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-03 14:29:49 UTC
do you see the controls in when running "alsamixer -c0"?
Are those unmuted?

Comment 16 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-03-04 16:55:15 UTC
When you play a sound via ALSA, do you hear an output from speakers?

aplay -D hw:0 /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav

When running pulseaudio you will probably want to do something like this:

pasuspender -- /usr/bin/aplay -D hw:0 \
     /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav

when i play with mux(in alsamixer see attact pic) there'll b a sound come out of
speaker but else none

plus when i play with 

pasuspender -- /usr/bin/aplay -D hw:0 \
>      /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav

there'll b a sound if im plug headphone else none

Comment 18 Rex Dieter 2008-04-15 14:28:54 UTC
This doesn't (seem to) have anything to do with arts, reassigning -> pulseaudio.

Comment 19 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-04-15 15:16:13 UTC
Heh, so we have this again. Anyways, pulseaudio works fine. We only have to find
out why is it not running at the login time.

Try grep pulseaudio /var/log/messages

Comment 20 Rex Dieter 2008-04-15 15:25:09 UTC
fwiw, kde-settings-pulseaudio handles that, containing nothing more than a
source'd startup script, /etc/kde/env/pulseaudio.sh:
#!/bin/sh

if [ -x /usr/bin/pulseaudio ]; then
  /usr/bin/pulseaudio -D
fi

Please check for any PA output to syslog when you login.

There seems to be something wrong with KDE starting PA or so. Or it's just
another iteration of the PID file not being deleted mess.

ada,
is pulseaudio running? ie, check output of:
$ ps x | grep pulseaudio

if it's not running try:
$ source /etc/kde/env/pulseaudio.sh

Closing due to lack of response.
