Am using the desktop more after | having gotten a TKL (SSK in IBM parlance) Model M from Unicomp. I have a | couple of genuine IBM SSKs, but they have become to valuable to use. The | Unicomp reissue is if anything better, and I love it. But I digress. | | I'm running Debian Trixie and TDE-almost-ready (I don't remember what | TDE testing is called, but I'm running the not-bleeding-edge testing | version, the middle one). | | I've discovered that sound doesn't work on my machine. I imagine that | this comes down to Pipewire, the Wayland of sound. (No, I do not use | Wayland. Playing pioneer in Linux was a hoot 25 years ago; now I just | want the damn machine to work.) When setting up a couple of Rspberry | Pi5s as television sets last year, I got no sound until I nuked Pipewire | entirely, which I haven't done here on the desktop yet. | | KMix seems in order. I have gone everywhere I could find to set the | audio to the built-in audio -- the system seems desperate to give me | HDMI audio, but I have no HDMI audio. At the moment, I have no audio of | any sort, but at least I have the hardware for non-HDMI audio. | | pulseaudio -v renders this: | | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: | Operation not permitted | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: | Operation not permitted | I: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Successfully gained nice level -11. | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: This is PulseAudio 17.0 | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Page size is 4096 bytes | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Machine ID is 5319a42264b14252b3e0bc50dadf9032. | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Session ID is 4. | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Using runtime directory /run/user/1000/pulse. | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Using state directory /home/dep/.pulse. | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Using modules | directory /usr/lib/pulse-17.0+dfsg1/modules. | I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode: no | E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. | E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. | | When I check the sound system page in KControl, all seems fine. System | restarts uneventfully. Everything seems to work except sound coming from | the speakers. | | I'm out of guesses. Advice? | -- | dep Trying various settings in pavucontrol I found a place where it was seemingly forcing HDMI. I disabled that, apparently, because instantly I had sound. Oh, and nuked pipewire and all its near relatives and close friends. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
