Re: [SOLVED] No sound in kde4.2, but sound works in other applications.

I have an Audigy2 ZS soundcard and the motherboard has a NVidia CK804 with ALC850.

KDE 4 uses the first working ALSA device that it can find on my Sid system. Where can I start to figure out why sound isn't working? Place the mouse pointer over the line with the Audigy card in the System Settings Multimedia Device Preference list, then wait for about one second without pressing any mouse button. You should see a passive pop-up window that tells you which output devices will be tried. Compare this with the output of aplay -l to make sure the right card and device are tried first. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is a complete new install. Took a daily snapshot net-install disk from 2009-05-03 and installed only the base system. Changed sources.list to include sid and installed then Xorg, kde-minimal and later other programs that I want. My KDE3 is on a separate partition, with only the /boot partition shared between the 2. But it looks like KDE4 handles it correctly now without it (lists the Audigy card on top) and I am not using alsa anymore (right?). KDE 4 uses the first working ALSA device that it can find on my Sid system. That was the clue I was looking for, I still need to have alsa installed. After installing alsa-base and alsa-utils, I found out through alsamixer that the volumes were muted (and too low). Fixing that produced sound with when clicking on the Test button, with the Audigy card selected. But, as before, alsa regards my onboard card (most of the time) as the default, so when I play a YouTube clip for example it is outputted to the onboard card, which I can listen to via a headphone connected to the front audio jacks on my pc case. But my boxes are connected to my Audigy2 card and I want all sound (by default) to play through those. How can I make it so that all sound will be output to my Audigy card by default? Now that I've installed alsa, I also have a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file. Should I specify it there? Or create a sound.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ ? Looking at my KDE3 backup the index for the soundcards were now/last specified there: == alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-intel8x0 index=1 alias snd-card-1 snd-emu10k1 options snd-emu10k1 index=0 == Or should I be looking at a different place? -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | Thanks for your reply. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
