KDE + arts/alsa
sound works through some applications such as xmms and noatun, but the kde sounds do not work as a regular user
i tried running kde as root and the sounds work... i added myself to the audio soundgroup and that didn't help.. any suggestions? |
Try running the apps where sound does not work from a console & see what readout you get, some may even have a verbose option, usually called by adding -v or -V after the apps name, that give a fuller readout.
It sounds (no pun intended) like you may have to modify permissions on a few /dev files. Certainly if it works as root it is a permissions issue. |
strange... when i click test sound i can hear the startup sound but i don't hear it when i start kde
when i start kcontrol and goto sound i get ALSA lib seq_hw.c:455:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory handle==0 when i test sound i can hear it and get Code:
handle==0 Code:
server status: suspended |
Do you use a soundblaster or similar
Possibly the reason that you do not hear anything with midi is that, unlike windows, the soundblaster does not automatically load up a soundfont at boot. You need to get hold of the program asfxload (http://www.alsa-project.org/~iwai/awedrv.html#Utils) & get the soundfont from your install disc & load it with the command sfxload /path/to/soundfont to search for soundfonts search for *.sf2 or *.SF2 if this sorts the problem you may wish to add the command to your rc.local file so it does it at boot. |
i am using intel ac97 integrated audio with the intel8x0 module.. is it like a sb clone?

I am new to Linux but I was reading about your problem and thought it sounded a bit like one I have just solved. You have the same sound card as I have. It might be worth your while lokking at this thread.
