 |
|
Hi!
For some fu**ed up reason, Alsa works only with amarok (which now broke for me), and RealPlayer!!!
with anything else (kaffeine, aplay, alsaplayer, vlc, mplayer), either the program totally freezes, or I get this:
| Code: | keinstein src # aplay /usr/share/psi/sound/chat1.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/psi/sound/chat1.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:961: Unable to install hw params:
ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED
FORMAT: S16_LE
SUBFORMAT: STD
SAMPLE_BITS: 16
FRAME_BITS: 16
CHANNELS: 1
RATE: 44100
PERIOD_TIME: (21333 21334)
PERIOD_SIZE: (940 941)
PERIOD_BYTES: (1880 1882)
PERIODS: (15 17)
BUFFER_TIME: (341315 341316)
BUFFER_SIZE: 15052
BUFFER_BYTES: 30104
TICK_TIME: 0 |
WTF?
Sound in Flash/Firefox doesn't work either, but at least doesnt crash the browser (which actually appears pretty unstable right now, crashing often, to be accurate)
I had an systemupdate 3 days ago, this is what changed:
| Code: | Sat Mar 17 06:37:09 2007 >>> media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.14_rc2-r3
Thu Aug 2 03:09:44 2007 >>> media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.14

Thu Aug 2 05:20:56 2007 >>> media-libs/alsa-oss-1.0.14
|
damn I believe I screwed the whole system... running emerge -e world right now, not sure if it'll help... |

12 is not the same as 14. Get those version numbers in sync. All of them, which contain "alsa" in their name. And to forestall the inevitable:
Follow wiki article carefully. |

I have the driver compiled into the kernel, not using alsa-drivers or module stuff
edit: I mentioned that it worked before?  |

| Do you have strange CFLAGS etc.? Have you tried moving /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc somewhere else? |

I'm soooo clueless.....
If just amarok and realplayer wouldn't work, so I could get a better sense of what's going on... but this is just sick... |

| When you only put =media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14a-r1 in /etc/portage/package.mask it will do the trick. |

Woot ! I had this same weird behaviour since ALSA update, and this incantation saved my day !
Are all these plugins really needed, by the way ?
Many thanks  |
