What is the output of: rpm -qa '*pulseaudio*' Does your HDMI audio work if you manually run 'start-pulseaudio-x11'? If not, does 'pacmd info' actually print something after its run? > [root@Re02 ~]# pacmd info > No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon. > > I did some googling and tried the following : > > #1. chmod o+rw /dev/snd/* > > After logging out and logging back in the above command made no difference. > > #2. authconfig --updateall --nostart > rm -rf ~/.pulse > > After logging out and logging back in the above also made no difference > > After rebooting with the continued use of radeon.audio=1 on the command > line there was no difference. > > Any additional ideas would certainly be appreciated. > > Greg -T.C. ------------------------------------------------------- T.C, I am using gnome, but have kde and xfce installed - have not tried either of the two at this point. Here is the output of rpm -qa '*pulseaudio*' pulseaudio-gdm-hooks-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.24-2.fc15.x86_64 wine-pulseaudio-1.3.33-1.fc16.x86_64 kde-settings-pulseaudio-4.7-14.fc16.noarch pulseaudio-libs-0.9.23-1.fc16.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.24-2.fc15.i686 wine-pulseaudio-1.3.33-1.fc16.i686 pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 pulseaudio-0.9.23-1.fc16.x86_64 I was able to start pulse audio at the user's command line with 'pulseaudio --start' as well as start-pulseaudio-x11. Neither of these commands resulted in the hdmi sound interface working. The gui of the hdmi works fine.
