I used to have lots of problems with what was used before pulseaudio, whenever two things wanted to make a sound at the same time, the first one prevented the other, then they might jam each other up when the first thing had finished playing. I'll ask the obvious question: Do you do fresh installs, or update Fedora over the top of prior installations? I ALWAYS do fresh installs. Updates seem a bit risky for my taste. I maintain two root partitions, 1 /home and 1 for /boot/efi. Then I format the older root and freshly install the new Fedora there. One consequence was that the newly installed pulseaudio-11.1-6.f27 could not be downgraded. So I removed it altogether and found that sound worked just fine. By fine, I mean, for example, that scripts that generate sound can be invoked by any user, in any environment: In /etc/rc.d/rc.local during boot by root, in a plain text terminal, in an X window by any user, including root, in a crontab job run by any user. Here's a simple example : *** /usr/local/bin/beep *** NBEEPS=${1:-10000} Try it. It ought to work in any of the above situations. The pulseaudio designers know what you want better than you. -- David A. De Graaf DATIX, Inc. Hendersonville, NC dad@xxxxxxxx www.datix.us |
