Description Matthias Berndt 2011-11-24 16:02:59 UTC
Hi,

I use PulseAudio on my KDE system and I'm experiencing a weird problem. When I play a video after logging in to the KDE desktop, it runs way too fast and there is no sound. The player doesn't matter, the problem occurs with Flash Videos as well as dragon player. Then, if I kill PulseAudio and restart the video, everything works fine, even though PulseAudio is restarted automatically and is also used to output audio (I verified this with pavucontrol).
This problem doesn't occur when I log into another desktop such as E17.

This problem has been there at least since Fedora 14 (which was the first Fedora release I installed on this box). Other people seem to have this problem too, with releases as old as Fedora 9:

Hi again, 

I just fixed the problem by starting a "failsafe" KDE session once. Since I did that, the problem doesn't seem to occur any longer for me. Weird...

Sorry, I'm experiencing this bug again. Reopening...

Comment 3 Matthias Berndt 2012-07-04 21:15:36 UTC
I have removed Fedora 16 from my system and installed Fedora 17, and now I'm no longer experiencing this problem. I guess this bug can be closed now.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 01:54:55 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
