 Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 12:05 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Weird audio problem [No sound in KDE] |
 |
|
I'm having some strange audio problems recently. The first sign of a problem was KDE telling me my audio devices no longer existed when I logged in. I'm on ~amd64 and updated to KDE 4.5.5 on Jan. 15 and gentoo-sources-2.6.36-r7 on the 16th. I didn't see the audio device error until after rebuilding world and restarting.
Audio works in these:
- ALSA aplay
- SOX play
- mplayer, using ALSA as the audio output
- YouTube videos in Firefox
- Flash in Firefox
- VLC with ALSA as the audio output
- Quake 3
Audio doesn't work in these:
- PulseAudio
- VLC with the default audio output
- FFMpeg's ffplay
- KDE with any backend: Xine, Gstreamer, VLC
Any ideas?

| I should add that after the KDE message, I installed PulseAudio, Gstreamer, the VLC phonon plug-in. |

| Check permissions on audio devices, if pulseaudio is actually running and consolekit. |

Permission are fine: 660 root:audio. The user 'pulse' and my user id both are in the audio group.
BTW, pulse never reports an error. The volume control level meters actually move when I try to play audio, even though I hear nothing.
Consolekit and policykit were also re-added to the system after a long period of not having it. |

That doesn't actually mean fine - full output of 'ls -l', please.
Also, the expected way of using pulseaudio (as a user started daemon) doesn't really care about pulse group. |

| Is consolekit set up correctly, as I don't see ACLs set in that output ? |

All I did was emerge it and verified that it's running and ck-list-sessions shows active/is-local TRUE for me.
What needs to happen for it to be set up correctly to show ACL info? I don't have the ACL USE flag set, if that means anything. |

After adding the acl USE flag, rebuilding with emerge -auvDN world, and rebooting, I still see no + signs next to the audio devices. Could this because I don't need the ACLs due to group membership?
I still have no sound in KDE / PulseAudio |

Have you tried with a clean kde config? Try renaming your ~/.kde4 dir while not in kde DE. I have the same problem and this works for a while. Actually all other DE's are working fine, only kde have this problem. There were others who have posted here about this problem and I did not hear they solved it. I suggest instal some other minimal DE until the problem solved. Emerging them is almost instantly:
Openbox 40 seconds,
Fluxbox 4 minutes,
Icewm 1 minute and 43 seconds.

If you are asking to me, yes I have ACL support in kernel for filesystems and it is in my useflags.

| I do not have support in my kernel for xattrs on any file systems. Extended attributes are not quite the same as ACLs, though ACLs can be stored in xattrs. http://acl.bestbits.at/about.html |

| But, this is getting a bit away from the issue I'm having... I may just get PulseAudio out of the picture completely and see where that leads me. Having sound in most things I use all the time is keeping this from being a big deal. It seems anything that directly talks to ALSA works fine. The problems occurs when audio goes through an additional layer. |

Here:
| Code: |
$ paplay -v --raw /dev/urandom
Opening a playback stream with sample specification 's16le 2ch 44100Hz' and channel map 'front-left,front-right'.
Connection established.
Stream successfully created.
Buffer metrics: maxlength=4194304, tlength=352800, prebuf=349276, minreq=3528

Time and latency replaced with xxxx as I couldn't capture that while it was running. No sound heard.
Then, I tried this:
| Code: |
$ aplay -v /dev/urandom

The result of paplay means that everything is actually working
- you just can't hear it  .
Seriously though, check alsamixer both on default device and the actual card
- perhaps one of the elements is muted ? |

Hmm, apparently so. Some channels in alsamixer that I've never had to play with before appear to have affected the output for PulseAudio and a few other things.
So now, I can hear audio with:
- PulseAudio
- VLC with the default audio output
- FFMpeg's ffplay
However, I'm still unable to hear anything from KDE, regardless of what backend I'm using. |

| You should probably check your phonon settings/useflags. |

There aren't many settings for phonon. I'm pretty sure it's just whatever the KDE System Settings applet makes available. So, those look fine.

It's just weird that it quit working all of a sudden after an emerge. It was probably when the latest KDE came out that dropped HAL completely. |

Solved: the issue is HAL. I emerged HAL, added it to the default run level, rebooted, and voila... sound works. So, the dropped KDE dependencies on HAL are premature.
I've since removed PulseAudio since I didn't have it until the issue started. I don't want or need the extra layer. |
