Yes, PulseAudio server was not running. And when I tried to start it it told me following: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:996:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device plug:dmix:0: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=plug:dmix:0"): initialization failed. E: main.c: Module load failed. E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. So I guess something went off yesterday when I played with settings to get sound for games like etqw too... I did what I did in Fedora 8 to get sound for it and it worked perfectly yesterday althought it was just mono sound. What I did was adding: load-module module-alsa-sink device=plug:dmix:0 load-module module-alsa-sink device=plug:dmix:1 into /etc/pulse/default.pa to get way to tell etqw that alsa device is in dmix:1 This worked fine in Fedora 8 without problems. I reverted that and I got pulseaudio server running (but only after putting SELinux to Permissive mode. As a funny side note: With that my smaller KDM login problem disappeared too.) [antti@Genesis ~]$ ps aux |grep pul antti 2651 0.2 0.1 66348 4464 ? Ssl 14:59 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio -D antti 2659 0.0 0.0 5676 2056 ?

For example I cannot get sound from Amarok using PulseAudio playback device, but with Alsa as playback device I get mono output. It doesn't matter what channel configuration I am using. I can put 5.1 and it still outputs only mono 1.0. There is something wrong with pulseaudio. Phonon shows now "PulseAudio Sound Server" on devices list (after installing most of the pulseaudio and alsa plugins) but there is also device called "PulseAudio"... My smolt profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/?uuid=pub_81599b19-9d3b-447b-b19a-1a7afb3c55e0 Thanks for help. I hope we can get this solved. By the way, should I file this up as a bug in Bugizilla? They suggest it in release notes here: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-PackageNotes.html#sn-sound-card-utility-changes "Any sound card not working out of the box should be reported as a bug." I guess this is the order of things right now: [antti@Genesis ~]$ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Camera ]: USB-Audio - USB Camera OmniVision Technologies, Inc. USB Camera at usb-0000:00:10.3-1, full speed 1 [Juli ]: ICE1724 - ESI Juli@ ESI Juli@ at 0xb400, irq 17 2 [V8237 ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237 VIA 8237 with ALC850 at 0x1000, irq 22 Somebody please explain what does my mic+webcam has to do on this since there ain't even a driver for it? It's never ever worked in linux or shown up in any pcm lists. I need help making that ESI Juli@ 'card0' and default it as PCM device. If that doesn't solve it then I don't know what to do. -- Antti Aspinen <antti.aspinen@xxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
