F12 and PulseAudio
in [UK Linux]
|
From: Martin Gregorie on 10 Mar 2010 18:42 On Sunday I upgraded this laptop to F12 and have found two problems: - setting 'spin down when possible' for AC power prevents it coming out of suspend. Thats annoying, but fixable: don't allow AC spin down. - PulseAudio worked well for about a day and now won't work at all. At one point I decided that making alert noises just because the cursor was being run off the file was a pain, so I muted it. Since the Great Silence set in I've cancelled the mute, but Pulseaudio is still mum. Nothing I've tried in the way of setting changes and reboots will make it work. Is this a known problem with a known work-round or should I just file a bug at the Fedora Project? -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

The only problem I had was that alsa was by default muting my soundcard. I unmuted it manually, then used alsactrl to save its state, and now it starts up unmuted. Perhaps your problem is similar? regards Alan -- Alan Fitch

However, alsamixer reports that there are no OSS devices. might this be significant? I'm running on a Thinkpad R61i if that's significant. It has an Intel sound card and Conexant PCM device. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

I found this advice helpful: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_PulseAudio_problems i.e. killing the pulse audio daemon and re-starting it manually with lots of debugging. It's strange that it used to work for you, and then stopped. > I'm running on a Thinkpad R61i if that's significant.
