It sounds as if pulseaudio is already running when your session starts. You wouldn't, by any chance, be running pulse audio in system mode? Please see URL: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/SystemWideInstance I am guessing you are not running pulse audio in system mode. I don't understand how pulse audio can already be running. Do you have something in your .bash_profile or .bashrc file, maybe? I found two pulse audio commands useful when I had sound problems: pavucontrol -- yum info pavucontrol and to a lesser extent, paman -- yum info paman Please install pavucontrol if you haven't already: yum install pavucontrol Please run pavucontrol -- it is GUI based (please note I use Gnome; I assume it works fine on KDE) You will see the following tabs: "Playback Recording Output Devices Input Devices Configuration" Please select the "Output Devices" tab. One possibility, and it is probably a long-shot, you may have multiple output devices. One output device might have good volume. The other might not. The output devices are selected by changing the "Port: ..." item. For me, I have "Port: Analog Output" and "Port: Headphones" The volume is always the same for both devices for me...but you might be changing the volume of one and not the other...I don't know. For grins, please install paman if you haven't already. yum install paman Please run paman -- it is GUI based It has the following tabs: "Server Information Devices Clients Modules Sample Cache" I am wondering if you can find module-x11-xsmp under Modules. I am curious to know what is listed in Clients, and, if something is listed under devices. I assume, under Server Information, it is not disconnected or anything. I have since found another pulse audio command. yum info padevchooser -- it is GUI based. If I am not mistaken, one can "advertise" one's sound devices over the network with pulse audio and one can select a pulse audio sound device on another host. I doubt if you have done this, but is interesting if it can be done. I better add a disclaimer. I don't know or understand the workings of pulse audio and alsa and sound devices very well. I looked at lots of stuff when I upgraded to Fedora 12 and my sound wasn't working. I got sound to work so I am happy. I can't remember what was wrong. It would be nice if someone who knows and understands pulse audio and alsa better would chime in with better advice than I can give. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvblngACgkQyc8Kn0p/AZS6ewCgpNvRHIqviP7ICXxctOCvE92p NFQAn2koSTkg5Vod2FPqnaZSiQEBkOzK =lI8x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
