No sound with pulse, oss works [Solved]

[xaffu]

Hi,

I seem to have a very strange case I don't fully understand. My Phonon is configured to use PulseAudio Sound Server and testing this output device works. When I use mplayer, I have sound with oss driver, but not when I use pulse. My alsa is also configured to use pulse (config below), so I have no sound with alsa output as well.

I am not sure what is wrong, but this is the problem I am facing since I've updated about 3 weeks ago I think...

Thanks in advance for help!

/etc/asound.conf:

Code: Select all

pcm.!default { type pulse }
ctl.!default { type pulse }
pcm.pulse { type pulse }
ctl.pulse { type pulse }

Did you try perhaps looking at the "alsamixer" sound levels?
Put that on terminal and select with F6 your card, that will show you all the channels you have.
Maybe this is related to some issue i have in the past, Pulse channels and volume settings show pretty good but alsamixer doesn't.

The channels with a "MM" are muted, pressing the "M" key should do the job.

PCM and Master must be enabled.

Regards.

Sound levels were fine. I am not sure about this, but I've solved this problem by removing alsa.conf completely. This changed my KDE audio configuration and pulseaudo soundserver is no longer used. Now audio works perfectly (even with pulse as audio output).

Sorry for misleading about updates, turns out it was my tinkering with alsa configuration that caused the problem.

Well, glad you solved it. Rare thing, alsa with pulse used to give me problems too, when passed from a Xfce installation to Gnome.
