I have on my motherboard intel hda analog audio and my graphics card (an ATI) had an HDMI out; by default I like the audio to come out of the analog output that is the only one connected. Sometimes logging into KDE I find that it's decided to switch to the HDMI as the default; today I caught it and did an lsof /dev/snd/* and found: knotify4 2276 dg mem CHR 116,3 6691 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p knotify4 2276 dg 20r CHR 116,33 0t0 9995 /dev/snd/timer knotify4 2276 dg 21u CHR 116,3 0t0 6691 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p pulseaudi 2893 dg 24u CHR 116,9 0t0 6698 /dev/snd/controlC1 pulseaudi 2893 dg 31u CHR 116,6 0t0 6694 /dev/snd/controlC0 pulseaudi 2893 dg 38u CHR 116,6 0t0 6694 /dev/snd/controlC0 So knotify4 has hogged the analog output, and hence pa can't get in. So I kill knotify4, and do a pactl exit to restart pa - but pa then still lists the HDMI as the default output in paman. (I've now found I can switch it back with pacmd set-default-sink) Dave Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: It's a race, so only happens sometimes. 1) Login 2) Try to play some music 3) Find it doesn't play 4) lsof /dev/snd/* to see who has what devices Actual Results: No music coming out of my analog output. lsof shows knotify4 hogging the analog device Expected Results: Sweet music on my analog output, pa has opened all the devices.

It's been working pretty well for me! See the canberra branch here: http://colin.guthr.ie/git/kdebase-runtime/ It's pretty old now but should apply cleanly still if you want to try it out. The whole default device thing shouldn't really matter under KDE (provided you run start-pulseaudio-kde after restarting PA to reload the module-device-manager module) this is run automatically at startup and in future releases will be baked into PA itself so will be deprecated that's a good few months away tho'.

I added a comment to KDE bug 284176, encouraging them to fix it soon, because I had a problem with Kubuntu 12.04 beta2 that I suspect is because of this bug (described in my KDE bug comment). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875660 Title: PA and knotify startup race leads to wrong device selection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/phonon/+bug/875660/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
