My sound blaster live disappeared
Hi, I'm posting this because I don't know where to begin looking. I have done a few searches, and it seems to be alles in ordnung, but things still aren't working. To explain, I have a SBLive emu10k1 card in my sid workstation. All was fine until a few weeks ago: 05:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07) The drivers are installed and loaded: snd_emu10k1_synth 13016 0 snd_emux_synth 29075 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_emu10k1 132168 5 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_ac97_codec106837 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_pcm68104 4 snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 13043 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_util_mem 12704 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 13186 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_rawmidi23297 3 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1,snd_seq_midi snd_timer 22581 3 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 13137 5 snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emu10k1,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd52823 19 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_hwdep,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device emu10k1_gp 12494 0 gameport 13649 2 emu10k1_gp ...however, alsamixer shows the card and chip being PulseAudio for playback, and KDE shows the output as dummy and nothing in the capture device. There seems to be a disconnect between pulse and alsa, and it only cropped up a couple of weeks ago. How do I get pulseaudio talking to the SBLive and get sound back to my workstation? Thanks, --b

Re: My sound blaster live disappeared
What I usually do is remove pulseaudio and it works afterwards. That's what I did, too. Removing pulseaudio instantly brings back the sound :-) Unfortunately pulseaudio is a dependency of gnome(3)-core , which is, as far as I understand, just for keeping gnome consistant. I removed it, too. So I'll have to keep an eye on gnome for myself... (In fact I'm using KDE) Ingo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: My sound blaster live disappeared
Thanks, gents...That worked for a treat. Now what is the best way to keep it from getting reinstalled?

Firstly, let me say that I've not got pulseaudio installed, so forgive me if there's a better way. If there's no sensible way to disable pulseaudio, you could create a dummy package using equivs, which you install in place of pulseaudio to satisfy dependencies, and would then stop the real pusleaudio getting pulled in. man equivs-control and man equivs-build for instructions. Also there's this blog that deals with the issue: http://blog.andrewbeacock.com/2005/09/creating-dummy-debian-package-for.html Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

First, let me repeat (with other words): it is a dirty way. But I guess, if you do not install gnome-core again, you won't get pulseaudio as well. On the other hand, this issue (feature?) is well-known, you'll find some suggestions to disable pulseaudio from getting loaded (please google pulseaudio, autospawn) but I felt like this being too uncomfortable for me.

Re: My sound blaster live disappeared
Yeah, the problem with that is that some package maintainer for some package that I do use, down the line, may get the bright idea to make pulse a dependency. I also wonder if a newer build of Debian may work out the issues with pulse. This particular box hasn't been rebuilt in about 5 years...I plan to rebuild it in the next month or two because I want to upgrade from i386 to amd64...
