Created attachment 367366 [details] Dell D630C alsa-info The kernel detects the sound card OK and all the /dev/snd devices are created but I get no sound. It previously worked in F-11. The gnome volume control only reports a Dummy device. Below is the details of running PA from a terminal and attached is the output from alsa-info.

So yes, the logged in user has no access to the audio device, so this behaviour is expected. Note that only the user that is logged in on the currently active session as access to the audio devices, for security reasons, so that other users may not eavesdrop in what you play and what you say.

Why or how would this have changed during a yum upgrade from F-11 to F-12? There has been no other change. There is only ever one user logged in on the laptop. There is only one user even configured on the laptop. Even the guest option is removed. Is there a wiki page for how this should be fixed? I couldn't find anything in a quick look through the Fedora wiki

I > couldn't find anything in a quick look through the Fedora wiki This hasnt really changed. In fact, since we have ConsoleKit device ACLs follow the currently active user. I think that means since F10 or so things are this way. If you dont want this behaviour you can make yourself a member of the "audio" group in which case you will always have access to the device, regardless if you are logged in or not or your session is active or not.
Anyway, there is no bug to fix here, closing.

That still doesn't tell me how I can fix it properly. If ConsoleKit assigns the permissions why doesn't it do so and how do I fix it for PulseAudio, Lennart as usual you are completely correct yet have provided absolutely no help what so ever. Why isn't ConsoleKit applying the permissions?
Ah, so you have been running PA on the active session and CK/HAL failed to set the ACLs right? Are you running a normal GNOME session via gdm or anything special via startx/some other DE? Is your sessoin listed properly in ck-list-sessions? BTW, comments like "as usual ..." are certainly a great way to ensure that I am particularly happy to help
I login to standard gnome desktop using GDM. I also occasionally login to a Moblin session via gdm as well but this stopped working before I installed that. not sure if selinux could come into play but I don't see any sealerts. No idea why its called session2 as its the only login I've had since I booted the laptop up. ck-list-sessions reports: [perobinson@neo ~]$ ck-list-sessions Session2: unix-user = '500' realname = 'Peter Robinson' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty1' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2009-11-05T08:22:53.140185Z' login-session-id = '1' [perobinson@neo ~]$
This looks about correct. So it seems HAL didn't update the ACLs on the device nodes properly to match what CK says.
if this is an acl problem, it goes to udev nowadays, no ? See /lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules
Oh, I thought this was about F11, but you are right. I have been dealing with a similar issue on F11 on IRC that day, which made me mix things up. Sorry. Please provide the output of "udevadm info -qall -n /dev/snd/controlC0". Have you modified the udev rules in any way?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

No. I've been offline for the last 10 or so days and with the various updates that were released in this time (kernel/pulseaudio etc) the sound is now working. I have no idea what fixed it.
OK, closing then. Feel free to reopen if the problem resurfaces.
