Testcase Audio Basic (change proposal)

Description

This test case tests whether sound can be played on Fedora.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure your sound device (hardware) is correctly connected to your computer, so that you can expect that sound will be played, i.e. you have speakers (or headphones) connected to the sound output of your sound adapter, or a receiver connected to a S/PDIF output.
  • Run Settings (or your desktop's alternative) and navigate to the Sound tab. Check that your sound device is correctly recognized by the system. In case you have more sound devices, make sure all of these devices are listed.
  • Select a preferred device for output. If you want to use an S/PDIF connection, set the device's profile to the appropriate choice (the output should be Digital Stereo (IEC958)).
  • Shut your system down entirely, then start it up again and log in to the desktop.

How to test

  • Start one of the default desktop media applications, for example GNOME's Videos or Rhythmbox. Alternatively, you can use any audio application of your choice.

I just realized the last sentence could probably go hand in hand with a proposal to adjust the currently existing "Working sound" criterion [1]. I think we should get rid of the "gstreamer-based" part and cover all applications installed by default for that particular Edition. That would make it possible to mention that e.g. testing playing a sound through your web browser is also acceptable. Alternatively, we could get rid of that criterion completely, and just say that playing sound correctly is a part of "Default application functionality" criterion [2] (for multimedia apps and browsers, at least). But we'd still have to figure out how we want to handle Server, Cloud, etc.
