Description Sam Irlapati 2013-02-05 22:42:36 UTC
Created attachment 693569 [details]
output of pulseaudio -vvvv

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pulseaudio-2.1-5.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
Log in as a user. No sound


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in as a user
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No sound


Expected results:
expects sound


Additional info:
When i log in as a user, i get no sound. The applet for volume is missing. When i open system_settings->sound, there is no output module to chose. It looks like no hardware has been detected. When on the GDM screen, the volume applet appears. I have tried killing and starting pulseaudio at the command line and it would not start. I have attached the output of the command
"pulseaudio --kill; pulseaudio -vvvv"
This started to happen only after upgrading from f17 to f18. I used fedup for the upgrade.

My audio card is 
[Salem 7] ~ > lspci | grep -i audio
00:10.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)

Comment 2 Sam Irlapati 2013-02-06 03:53:04 UTC
I have also tried the command "authconfig --update" and it did not help.

Comment 3 Brendan Jones 2013-02-06 05:37:49 UTC
Can you comment out this line in your /etc/pulse/default.pa?

load-module module-cork-music-on-phone

or replace it with

load-module module-role-cork

Comment 4 Sam Irlapati 2013-02-06 14:01:52 UTC
Thank you. That worked. I have sound now. That line of cork-music is not something i put in. It was there as a default. Shouldn't the upgrade have changed it?

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2013-02-06 14:35:17 UTC
The conf file was modified at *some* point, so rpm rightfully left your customizations in place instead of replacing it.

Now, given that we know that option doesn't work with the newer pulseaudio (grr upstream for gratuitiously renaming the option and breaking in situations like this), I can work on a package scriptlet to look for and fix it.

Comment 6 Brendan Jones 2013-02-06 18:15:10 UTC
Probably should add to common F18 bugs? Let me know and I will.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2013-02-07 13:50:41 UTC
No need, I'll fix it with an pulseaudio package update.

Comment 8 Sam Irlapati 2013-02-07 15:45:07 UTC
Thank you.

Comment 10 Rex Dieter 2013-02-08 21:30:13 UTC
fyi, this build includes a scriptlet snippet like:

%posttrans
# handle renamed module-cork-music-on-phone => module-role-cork
(grep '^load-module module-cork-music-on-phone$' %{_sysconfdir}/pulse/default.pa > /dev/null && \
 sed -i.rpmsave -e 's|^load-module module-cork-music-on-phone$|load-module module-role-cork|' \
 %{_sysconfdir}/pulse/default.pa
) ||:
