Kaffeine - Audio output unavailable
 
When I try to view DVB television through Kaffeine I see the picture but sound is missing. Eventually, a message box is displayed which says:-
xine Message - Kaffeine player
Audio Output unavailable. Device is busy ().

I am running Fedora 11 x86-64 on a generic PC with a Gigabyte MB running an AMD Athlon X2 CPU, Audio is either SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) on the MB, or RV630/M76 Audio device on a Radeon HD 2600 PCI card.

This worked fine on Fedora 10, but on Fedora 11 I cannot get this working. Any hints as to where I should look to re-configure?

mollcons, try to reconfigure your sound cards with alsaconf.
By the way, for other types of media, does the sound work?

Where do I find alsaconf. The only references to alsaconf that I can find on my filesystem are for Vim72. I don't think these are relavent. Or am I wrong?

In case you have already read the above response, I have now apparently fixed the problem. I discovered the Advanced Volume Control Applet in the System/Preferences menu, and having the HDA ATI SB option I found that the Line In sound was muted. Now this is unmuted, sound has magically reappeared in Kaffeine at least.

mollcons, congrats :)
Anyway, if you would need someday to use alsaconf, it's in alsa-utils package. It's a teminal program that allows you to configure your soundcards.
