Public bug reported:
On my HP Kayak XM600, sound is only working partially after having
installed Kubuntu 9.04. So far, I have seen two scenarios:
Upgrade from Kubuntu 8.10 (where sound - I think - was working. Not 100% sure)
to 9.04:
- No system sounds (i.e. no sound for Login/Logout, error messages, beep,
etc.). When going to System Settings -> Notifications -> KDE System
Notifications and tried to play any of the sounds there, nothing happened.
- No sound in amarok
- Something like "ogg123 FILE.ogg" did work (so the hardware is ok)
- The mixer in KMix was correctly shown, no odd settings there
- System Settings -> Multimedia showed "Sound Fusion CS46xx (CS46xx)" at the
top of the list. Clicking on "Test" did result in a sound being played. The
other two entries ("Sound Fusion CS46xx (CS46xx - Rear)" and "PulseAudio" did
not do anything).
- I tried installing the phonon-gstreamer backend and use that instead of the
xine-backend, but that did not change anything.
As I could not get sound to work, I decided to wipe that machine
completely and perform a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.04 (including fresh
user account). After that, sound still was not working - no system
sounds, no sound in amarok, but the mixer was still ok and "ogg123 ..."
still worked. Basically the same as after the upgrade.
Based on some comments in the forums, I installed the "pulseaudio"
package (which did not get installed automatically). I then went to
System Settings -> Multimedia and put the "PulseAudio" entry to the top.
To be sure, I logged out and even rebooted. After I log in, I still do
not get any system sounds, however, amarok seems to be able to play now.
The sounds in System Settings -> Notifications -> KDE System
Notifications behave very oddly: If I press the play button, nothing
happens. If I press it again, the sound is played once. If I continue,
every second button press will result in the sound being played. If I
press the button in rapid succession, the sounds get played several
times simultaneously. The latter does not surprise me that much, but the
fact that I have to click twice to get any reaction seems odd. In normal
use, the system sounds/notification still don't work.
