It seems that every time I turn around sound in KDE dies. I re-emerge a number of packages, but this is becoming tiresome.
Does anyone else have this experience? If so have you managed to fix it?

Can you give *a bit* more precise description? |

Thanks genstorm!
I'm currently running stable KDE 4.1x with Plasma 5.x
I may be wrong, but it seems that an update forced the Plasma install.
I'm perplexed on the sound issue, but I just stumbled upon something I had not noted previously.
If I suspend to ram when I reopen the system sound is dead. If I reboot the sound works, i.e. if
I go into system settings -> multimedia -> audio video -> device preference and click on pulseaudio sound server
I then have sound. Similarly, if I choose Audio Hardware Setup and per my setting if I select
Front Left or Front Right I do have a response. Doing the same thing without reboot
there is no sound.
Not enough experiments, but I wonder if the suspend to ram breaks something?
I'll have to check, but my Dell k620 is running CentOS 7 and suspends and restores without breaking sound.
I have Gentoo running on an i7-4770k with Samsung 840PRO and max memory. It took me a long time to
put the hardware together, but my old AMD Athlon was just too slow to keep up with Gentoo building.
I'm wondering now if I should just uninstall Plasma.

Well, I'm not the actual correction, but the problem seems to be connected to suspending to RAM.
I like that I can suspend to RAM as even with an SSD/HDD combination it's even quicker to restart, but when I do this
it kills my sound. If I reboot audio is working again. At least I now have no reason to re-emerge the apps I was doing that for.
If any developers have any idea how to correct this I would appreciate hearing from them. Perhaps I'm the only user
experiencing this problem? _________________ ASPushkin

do you have Code: | CONFIG_SND_PCM_TIMER=y | set in your kernel?
I may be wrong but I think that's a fairly recent change. I had no sound in html5 video and one or two other problems until I enabled that after changing from 3.foo to 4.bar kernels. |
