Pulseaudio
Hi,
After I started to use OpenSUSE 11 I face problems with Pulseaudio. It happens quite often that I cannot control sound volume. When I double click the button (volume control) it says: Connection failed: connection refused In terminal I observe following: Code:
rafal@linux-39sr:~/Desktop> pulseaudio -D When I start XMMS I can here the sound and even control the volume with pulse. The only problem is that if I double click on the control button there is the message "Connection failed: connection refused". Restarting PC not always help. I think the problem could be after I install some new packages. Since ALSA works fine, when I restart it, it does not help: Code:
linux-39sr:/home/rafal/Desktop # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart Code:
Aug 21 20:30:37 linux-39sr gnomesu-pam-backend: pam_unix2(gnomesu-pam:auth): conversation failed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=359441, then for me it looks like solved bug, but in fact it isn't. What can I do/check in order to solve it? It really annoys me, because whenever it happens I cannot use SKYPE (it says there is problem with audio) regards Rafal |
pulseaudio - update
Unfortunatelly nobody interested in this thread ;-(
I have tested with pulse audio 0.9.10.0 Code:
rafal@linux-39sr:/dane/rapid> pulseaudio --version Strange , because this version was released in March 2008 and on the page pulseaudio.org I found version 0.9.11 from 2008-07-24, which I gonna to test now. I have found rpm's here: http://software.opensuse.org/search (pulseaudio-0.9.11-4.1.i586.rpm). Strage that it is not visible via YaST (apparently another repository) Sad to say but if I compare sound recording quality with Windows , then Linux is worse. regards Rafal |
I know that it doesn't solve your problem, but when I had problems with pulseaudio, after a week of struggling
with it, I just removed pulseaudio and used good old alsa. |
alsa
not bad idea.
First I will give a new version of pulseaudio a chance, then will think what next |

skype is working again
I was able to make skype working again.
Here what I have done: - I unistalled skype - I removed .Skype from my home folder. This is important! - I installed skype Now, when I type skype I am able to run the program, but whenever I change audio settings in skype to pulse it gives me this error: Quote:

End of the story ;-)
I uninstalled Pulseaudio from my computer (thanks sycamorex!)...and suddenly :
- skype works fine ;-) - recorded sound quality is much much better ! ;-) and there are no noices when I call with skype - no crashes with "pcm_pulse.c:296: pulse_write" ;-) (not only skype crashed...Real Player did the same) The only problem was, that I had to remove volume control button from the desktop and to make new to "gnome-volume-control". In addition I had to reinstall XMMS, because it crashed otherwise (probably was looking for pulse). regards Rafal |
