Hello, I have a problem in starting pulseaudio with my EMU-0404USB after a recent upgrade from Fedora9 to Fedora10. It seems that pulseaudio cannot set some hw parameters to my card as follows. It fails to startup with default configuration which uses HAL so I override the default.pa config file to force a load of module-alsa-sink with plughw:0,0. However it doesn't help. $ pulseaudio I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges. I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. E: alsa-util.c: Failed to set hardware parameters on plughw:0,0: Operation not permitted E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device=plughw:0,0"): initialization failed. E: main.c: Module load failed. E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. However the same device (plughw:0,0) works fine when I use aplay. Any clues? Thanks! $ aplay -v -D plughw:0,0 Track01.wav Playing WAVE 'Track01.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Plug PCM: Linear conversion PCM (S24_3LE) Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : RW_INTERLEAVED format : S16_LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 16 buffer_size : 22050 period_size : 5513 period_time : 125011 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 avail_min : 5513 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 22050 stop_threshold : 22050 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 6206523236469964800 Slave: Hardware PCM card 0 'E-MU 0404 | USB' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is: stream : PLAYBACK access : MMAP_INTERLEAVED format : S24_3LE subformat : STD channels : 2 rate : 44100 exact rate : 44100 (44100/1) msbits : 24 buffer_size : 22050 period_size : 5513 period_time : 125011 tstamp_mode : NONE period_step : 1 avail_min : 5513 period_event : 0 start_threshold : 22050 stop_threshold : 22050 silence_threshold: 0 silence_size : 0 boundary : 6206523236469964800 Cheers, Kaworu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
