I've since rebooted, trying a different kernel build not related to this. On the reboot, it logged: May 30 10:02:11 coyote pulseaudio[4417]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "PCM" or mixer control is no combination of switch/volume. May 30 10:02:11 coyote pulseaudio[4417]: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "Mic" or mixer control is no combination of switch/volume. So this may explain by inference what isn't right. Clues please. And xinetd is going crazy, saying it reconfiguring my amanda services: May 30 10:25:20 coyote xinetd[2388]: Starting reconfiguration May 30 10:25:20 coyote xinetd[2388]: Swapping defaults May 30 10:25:20 coyote xinetd[2388]: readjusting service amanda May 30 10:25:20 coyote xinetd[2388]: readjusting service amandaidx May 30 10:25:20 coyote xinetd[2388]: readjusting service amidxtape May 30 10:25:20 coyote xinetd[2388]: Reconfigured: new=0 old=3 dropped=0 (services) That is the last of about 100 stanza's of that in the messages log, never before seen. Now everything but padevchooser runs. From the web pages, it needs avahi and that is also running. But when run, it outputs nothing, and logs nothing, it just sits there. A ctrl+c returns the shell prompt instantly. Anybody have a clue as to whats wrong there? In paprefs (I had to reinstall several other pieces to get everything the web page mentions) it now shows 2 hardware output channels and 2 hardware input channels, finding the HDINTEL stuff I don't use first. Marked as default but I moved the check marks to the audigy 2 hardware in both cases, and turned the volume on the audigy 2 up to 480%, and now I have the pling of incoming mail from kde audible at a low level. I think the only reason I have any audio is because I have that virtual device that links all outputs enabled. I just unchecked that to see if I lose my audio. Yup, AFU. On cnn, I get white noise at speaker and hearing destroying levels, not controllable by ANY volume control slider except the one below the playing video, and that is essentially a mute button when its moved ALL the way left. One pixel up and my speaker cones are being shredded by white noise from an unknown src. How do I totally make it use the AC97 stuff as the secondary channel, not the primary? I would like to eventually use the AC97 stuff on the mobo for skype or other internet telephone use. I think I'll remove it this evening and reboot again (hell of a way to run a ^%$ train IMO) if no one has good ideas to offer. Right now I'm going up up one of the neighbors with my sawzall, a 3 pound mall, & etc and help him replace a very crooked post in his back deck. >-- >Cheers, Gene >"There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
