Description of problem: Just upgraded to F12 and noticed some weirdness with my sound, long story short, the Gstreamer backend appears to work fine, the Xine doesn't. If I select the Xine backend, no sound. If I select the Gstreamer backend, sound appears fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.3.80-2.fc12.x86_64 phonon-backend-xine-4.3.80-2.fc12.x86_64 phonon-4.3.80-2.fc12.x86_64 and my xine levels are: xine-plugin-1.0.2-3.fc12.x86_64 xine-lib-extras-1.1.16.3-5.fc12.x86_64 xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.16.3-2.fc12.x86_64 xine-ui-skins-0.99.5-16.fc12.noarch xine-lib-1.1.16.3-5.fc12.x86_64 xinetd-2.3.14-28.fc12.x86_64 xine-lib-devel-1.1.16.3-5.fc12.x86_64 phonon-backend-xine-4.3.80-2.fc12.x86_64 xine-ui-0.99.5-16.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Use the KDE interface to switch backend between Xine and Gstreamer Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch backend to Xine (which was the default) Actual results: No sound Expected results: Sound Additional info: lsmod output: Module Size Used by fuse 62064 2 sunrpc 191912 1 ipv6 298896 36 cpufreq_ondemand 7824 1 powernow_k8 17332 1 freq_table 4864 2 cpufreq_ondemand,powernow_k8 dm_multipath 17304 0 uinput 9248 0 snd_hda_codec_realtek 281380 1 lgdt330x 9268 1 cx88_dvb 22884 0 cx88_vp3054_i2c 2896 1 cx88_dvb videobuf_dvb 7380 1 cx88_dvb dvb_core 89712 3 lgdt330x,cx88_dvb,videobuf_dvb tuner_simple 13476 2 tuner_types 18208 1 tuner_simple tda9887 10836 2 tda8290 11716 0 tuner 19996 2 snd_hda_intel 30360 5 cx8800 33836 0 cx88_alsa 12392 2 cx8802 16036 1 cx88_dvb snd_hda_codec 72832 2 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel firewire_ohci 23332 0 cx88xx 77900 4 cx88_dvb,cx8800,cx88_alsa,cx8802 snd_seq 58080 0 snd_usb_audio 97200 2 ir_common 44980 1 cx88xx snd_usb_lib 17664 1 snd_usb_audio v4l2_common 16800 3 tuner,cx8800,cx88xx snd_pcm 83144 5 snd_hda_intel,cx88_alsa,snd_hda_codec,snd_usb_audio snd_rawmidi 24032 1 snd_usb_lib uvcvideo 58972 0 tveeprom 13828 1 cx88xx snd_seq_device 7620 2 snd_seq,snd_rawmidi snd_timer 22608 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_hwdep 9224 2 snd_hda_codec,snd_usb_audio amd64_edac_mod 29632 0 firewire_core 47880 1 firewire_ohci videobuf_dma_sg 12292 5 cx88_dvb,cx8800,cx88_alsa,cx8802,cx88xx edac_core 43516 1 amd64_edac_mod videodev 36160 5 tuner,cx8800,cx88xx,v4l2_common,uvcvideo snd 67592 29 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,cx88_alsa,snd_hda_codec,snd_seq,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_hwdep forcedeth 54764 0 v4l1_compat 13892 2 uvcvideo,videodev videobuf_core 16612 5 videobuf_dvb,cx8800,cx8802,cx88xx,videobuf_dma_sg v4l2_compat_ioctl32 10736 1 videodev crc_itu_t 2080 1 firewire_core k8temp 5344 0 btcx_risc 4712 4 cx8800,cx88_alsa,cx8802,cx88xx snd_page_alloc 9568 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm i2c_nforce2 9048 0 soundcore 7328 1 snd ata_generic 5924 0 pata_acpi 5152 0 pata_jmicron 4016 0 3w_9xxx 33684 4 pata_amd 14260 0 radeon 514128 2 ttm 41952 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 25376 1 radeon drm 172416 4 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 6020 3 cx88_vp3054_i2c,cx88xx,radeon i2c_core 28928 15 lgdt330x,cx88_vp3054_i2c,tuner_simple,tda9887,tda8290,tuner,cx8800,cx88xx,v4l2_common,tveeprom,videodev,i2c_nforce2,radeon,drm,i2c_algo_bit
I had no sound problems with F12 until I upgraded to KDE 4.3.90 (4.4 RC1). At that point sound notifications stopped. I discovered that feedback howl happened with volumes =>50% and in found that the optimum level was 41% (checked in alsamixer text mode). I had been using he xine backend. Changing it to gstreamer brought back notifications, but the low volume problem persists.

Sorry, the mandriva link was meant for bug #539297 as it pertains to gstreamer, not xine.
4.3.80-5 has the patch from upstream which should fix this (thanks Rex).
Confirmed that xine backend is now working (and amarok output restored). Thanks

Running phonon-4.3.80-5.fc12, kdebase-runtime-4.3.4-3.fc12, the xine backend works perfectly. What's more it has cured the problem I had in Amarok where only one track at a time would play, so that it was necessary to start each track manually. Now the tracks play consecutively without intervention, as they used it. Thanks for the fix
su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update phonon kdebase-runtime' Thanks, this fix work fo me too ! :)

After the initial update, my sound with xine (when run from command line) was lost, and did not come back after the latest update. It works if I force audio driver to alsa instead of pulseaudio. This may be a different issue so I reported it as #568630.
