I use KDE-4.8.4 with digital sound (S/PDIF).
I upgraded my kernel and kaffeine broke (and I'm sure other apps).
The system sounds work, Amarok works, VLC works.
I think it has something to do with the alsa device order.
My default device was my tvtuner.
Card: Conexant CX23885
I changed /etc/asound.conf to have
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
and now alsaixer defaults to the right card:
Card: HDA ATI SB
1. Kaffeine errors and says it can't open the audio device.
2. kmix doesn't work.
3. The error dialog of kmix does a system beep which cuts off any other sound
(eg. if I am playing music with Amarok, the audio stops when the system beeps
but Amarok thinks it is still playing.
