 Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2014 4:44 pm Post subject: pulseaudio, systemd and KDE |
 |
|
Hi,
as the wiki says nobody should be in group "audio" so I removed everyone.
When logging in KDE a pulseaudio process is started:
| Code: |
12431 ? S<l 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
|
Unfortunately, kmix and phonon control show the usual ALSA list of hardware devices.
After killing pulsaudio once:
| Code: |
killall -9 pulseaudio
|
or
it restarts immediately and at least phonon sound control shows now only "pulse audio sound server".
After killing kmix and starting it again it still shows the ALSA list.
How can pulseaudio be started properly in KDE that I do not need to kill it manually once?
And how can I fix kmix?
Without using systemd killing kmix once was just enough.
edit:
I am also wondering how to configure things I can configure in alsamixer when using pulseaudio. KMix won't offer me enough and pavucontrol doesn't offer the options as well.
Alsamixer shows me all "channels" of the soundcard but with pulseaudio I have to use the nongui tool alsamixer for that.
One unified tool would be easier. |

Did you set Alsa default sound card to Pulseaudio? /etc/asound.conf and/or $HOME/.asoundrc:
| Code: | pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
} |
With that, Kmix and Phonon can use Pulseaudio. With Alsamixer, you can use the F6 key to access other sound cards than Pulseaudio.

| thx that worked. Do you know how to prevent ALSA/PulseAudio from resetting the alsa speaker volume to 0 every time I reboot? |
