Description of problem: Pulseaudio fails to load after upgrading from Fedora 13 to 15 using preupgrade. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-0.9.22-5.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Playing sound via the "-D plughw:0" worked with cli applications, but anything using pulseaudio failed. Flash from browsers worked. pavucontrol gave a "Connection refused" error this is from /var/log/messages: Oct 2 03:24:42 raja pulseaudio[15979]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=equalized"): initialization failed. Oct 2 03:24:42 raja pulseaudio[15979]: main.c: Module load failed. Oct 2 03:24:42 raja pulseaudio[15979]: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. Oct 2 03:24:42 raja pulseaudio[15976]: main.c: Daemon startup failed. Expected results: a working pulseaudio daemon Additional info: So I finally got it working thanks to the default.pa.rpmnew file. the new default.pa file had this uncommented line: load-module module-alsa-sink device=equalized whereas the old file had: #load-module module-alsa-sink My solution was to comment this line and all is back to normal. What exactly is the "equalized" device and was this an intended change? If so, is there anything particular to my installation which breaks it? Thanks
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '15' 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 15 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
