Hello,

I added the applet for volume control on the panel, and when I choose the option "Open volume control", I get a message saying "Waiting for sound system to repond". Is there anything wrong, is it a bug, or is there something I can do to fix this?

Thanks, cheers.

Found this in FreeBSD forum:

When I select the sound preferences option in Gnome, I get a message which says

Waiting for sound system to respond

which never goes away. I think I enabled something I shouldn't have in my ports options when I configured Gnome, but I can't figure out what. Anyone have any hints? This is on 7.2 with 7.2-RELEASE ports (Gnome 2.26.0).

--
For the record, I was told by the FreeBSD Gnome maintiner(s) on IRC that the PulseAudio package is broken in 7.2 and updating ports should fix it.

Maybe the same issue in GSB 2.26.2 port?

Ok, now here is another question. How do you update ports in 2.26.2?

Errrr... I dont know... Maybe from the sources?

But I tested a downgrade and... Its working right now!!

http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...eaudio/0.9.14/
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...ibasyncns/0.7/

Download these and try it!!

Remember to configure /etc/asound.conf :
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}

Luck!!

How do you downgrade? I added in slapt-getrc file the repository to the 12.2, but I dont know how to downgrade. When I try to uninstall pulseaudio, it removes about 700 packages. I dont want that. What do I do? Can you give me the commands?

Thanks
Cheers

Maybe you should use removepkg instead of slapt-get:
and then install the package linked above with

Euh, ok, I will try it. I tried with slapt-get and had to uninstall all these packages. Maybe with installpkg it will be different.

Thanks, I'll get back to you.

Hi!

pulse-audio starts working with those 2 packages downgraded.

Then gnome-volume-control did not work anymore!

I also downgraded these:
gnome-media-2.24.0.1-i486-1as
gst-pulse-0.9.7-i486-3as.tgz

Then gnome-volume-control started to work with an warning!

Then I downgraded this:
gst-plugins-good-0.10.11-i486-3as

Now The sound system is fine!

I used the same method above (removepkg and installpkg) and downloaded from the same repository cited before.

Good Luck!
