PulseAudio oddity

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a series of Fedora 11 audio servers with PCI Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster sound cards. Those with the following packages work fine and the PulseAudio server recognizes the SoundBlaster device.

pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-module-jack-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-libs-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-libs-zeroconf-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-module-zeroconf-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-utils-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.15-11.fc11.i586

Those with the following packages did not work. PulseAudio server sees a 'Null Audio' device.

pulseaudio.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-esound-compat.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-libs.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-libs-glib2.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-libs-zeroconf.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-module-gconf.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-module-jack.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-module-x11.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-module-zeroconf.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11
pulseaudio-utils.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11

I was eventually able to support 0:0.9.15-14.fc11 by modifying my /etc/pulse/default.pa as follows:

[root@zeus ~]# diff /etc/pulse/default.pa /etc/pulse/default.pa-2009-06-21

Sound works fine now. Explainablly the above changes seem to have (for reasons I do not understand) caused the following error in the Intel CPU microcode service.

Applying Intel CPU microcode update: [  OK  ]
/etc/rc3.d/S06cpuspeed: line 169: [: argument expected
Starting cpuspeed: [  OK  ]

if you look at /etc/rc3.d/S06cpuspeed: line 169:

(169)        if [ -d ${cpu0freqd} -a -n ${GOVERNOR} ]; then
(170) echo -n "Enabling p4-clockmod driver (passive cooling only): "
(171)          success; echo
(172)          return 0
(173)        else
(174)          /sbin/modprobe -r p4-clockmod 2> /dev/null
(175)        fi

For the life of me I can't explain how these issues are related. However, a downgrade to PulseAudio 0.9.15-11.fc11 eliminates the issue with Intel CPU microcode update and audio continues working.

Does anybody see how or why these may be connected?

Thanks,

Andrew
