So try installing the latest versions, by opening a Terminal/Kconsole window, logging in as the root user and entering the following command:
- Code: Select all
equo install alsa-lib alsa-plugins gst-plugins-alsa alsa-firmware alsa-headers alsa-tools alsa-utils
I'm not a KDE 4.* user (and therefore not a PulseAudio and Phonon user), so hopefully someone who is will post some other things for you to try. However, in the meantime I noticed the following in the Ubuntu forums regarding KDE 4.* audio:
Sound Capture and recording
Phonon does not currently offer a alsa default device or a pulseaudio device for sound capture and recording in System Settings/Sound. For applications using Phonon there is currently no way to direct them to use the pulseaudio input devices so for now you are stuck with choosing hardware devices in System Settings/Sound for sound capture/recording. This is not so bad because Phonon gives you a lot of choices including the ability to capture hardware output streams as well as inputs.
