Greetings;
Because many of you said to use it, it worked just fine, I
re-installed it all and I haven't had any noise from anything but
kmail and maybe kino since then, kino audio seemingly depending on
the phase of the moon, day of thew week and possibly multiplied by
the age of the raccoon I last killed, now many years ago.
Anyway, I'm like the other guy who said all he wants to do is play
some fscking sound. Looking up the various pieces in yumex to see
what there might be for configuration helpers, I try several pieces
but they return 0 output, and all seem to be killable with a ctl-c.
Until I get to padmin, now there is a real Super Informative Name.
padmin displays, on the server tab, a whole menu of alsa stuff, every
one of which points into the nvidia chipsets builtin ac97 audio on
this motgher board, and absolutely zero reference is made to the the
SBO-400 Audigy 2 card that I actually use as the main sound system
here, with the nvidia thingy being relegated for skype etc usage.
Now, many moons ago, I spent considerable time on this list arriving
at an /etc/modprobe.conf stanza that made it all work the way I
wanted it to work. It looks like this: -------------------------
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 options snd-card-0 index=0 options
snd-emu10k1 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-1
index=1 options snd-intel8x0 index=1 alias snd-card-2 snd-mpu401
options snd-card-2 index=2 options snd-mpu401 index=2
--------------------------
And if I can get enough of it killed and uninstalled, it will still
work as I have done exactly that once before.
The pulseaudio wiki/web page has zero info on how to do this unless
my speed reading is skipping over it somehow, but I've now been over
it 5 or 6 times without anything raising its hand asking to go wiwi.
If it would help, I can snapshot and post the various screens padmin
shows. Whoever wrote that gui seems to have left out the ability to
clipboard the contents. 500 lashes with a wet noodle are in order for
that omission.
Also, I get the impression this is an administration program, in
which case I ought to be able to edit some of this, multiple choices
based on the available hardware would be nice, but as near as I can
tell, nothing is editable, so whyinhell call it an admin program when
it can't? Good question that..
So how do I go about making pulseaudio work like I want it to work?
URL's for answers is fine, but the pulseaudio web page I was pointed
at before is effectively all advertising, and about as useful as
those appendages on the belly of a boar hog.
:(
I've always found that 'yum remove *pulse*' makes sound work properly
under KDE in F8 and F9.
