Sound stopped working on my machine

usr345 · 01-21-2015, 07:10 AM

I was trying to setup pulse server for skype. But I couldn't set it up. So, I deleted the package. All of a sudden sound stopped working. I read this page: http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:har...s_on_slackware. And ran the commands:

XMMS doesn't give any sound. alsamixer works. Unfortunately, I don't understand, how to fix it.

If alsamixer is working your soundcard is. Under xmms preferences, check your output plugin, make sure it is alsa, check Configure points to your correct soundcard & mixer device.

Sounds like perhaps PulseAudio didn't uninstall cleanly. In any case, post your config file for ALSA

Seems like all of your devices are configured. I dunno past that as I use OSS, not ALSA.
