sound gnome gentoo
Hi all!
I have some problems with sound .. When playing music in different players, everything is fine. When testing the sound on the menu: System-> Options-> Sound, too, everything works fine. But when playing sounds in the "Sounds" nothing happens... And GNOME never produces any sounds. Pidgin is also silent...

I just noticed that for me it does not work too - I never wanted these as I find them annoying.
But the sound files are installed and the checkbox in the Audio Settings (to enable them) is checked. I also can play the sounds with any media player. The ebuild to install is: gnome-extra/gnome-audio - and the files are in /usr/share/sounds and its subdirectories. But I don't hear them despite I should (and I only noticed now - had it worked I'd have turned them off). So: I'm interested in the answer too. ;) Pidgin however is _not_ silent for me...I don't use it much and always I'm surprised to suddenly hear some sound for some event there... |
Hi, same issue here, on 2 separate machines.

Im in the same boat here... surely someone knows whats missing.

The original post is half a year old
- and everything is working flawlessly now. Unfortunately do not know how exactly it was resolved. As I tried to say: I noticed that the system-sounds did not play (back then) when I tried, but I did not bother because I did not want to hear them anyway. Since then I got rid of esd and use pulseaudio instead. No special config IIRC. I run unstable: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" and have these (maybe relevant for this issue) USE-FLAGS: pulseaudio -esd in my /etc/make.conf the line Code:
load-module module-gconf ...don't remember if it was me who wrote it there or if it is that way by default ;) |
