I didn't know how to get gnome-alsa mixer as a tag. Sorry!
** Description changed:
No applications( except Xchat's beeps when I backspace too much) plays
audio even though the application is listed in an entry in the Playback
- tab.
+ tab. The terminal data outputs is from 8.04 fresh install. However, as a
+ last ditch solution someone said to upgrade to 9.04. That did not fix
+ it. Gnome-alsa mixer is still configured wrong by default. I don't know
+ if I have 2 things going on, or whether gnome-alsa mixer's configuration
+ errors is causing me to not have sound in the other apps, including the
+ sound test app under preferences. I"m leaning towards gnome-alsa mixer
+ as the problem.
I did go through the how-to manual at the forum. However, I have persistent
configuration errors. From the how-to:
- the application is using PulseAudio but there is a problem, such as: a bug
in PulseAudio, a problem with your ALSA kernel module or libraries, or your
PCM/Master volume is muted.
- All libraries, etc. auto-upgraded to the latest. I am waiting on th
- e9.04 cd as I plan on doing a fresh install yet again so that I can
- start from scratch. I'm also trying to find a linux person to do the
- install for me as I do have brain damage.
-
- I did send test data about my drivers, hardware, etc. through your system
testing.
- The below terminal outputs were done twice. First with audio on, then with
audio off.
-
- 1) Gnome-alsa mixer configures to this even when I upgrade to 9.04.
- Someone thought if I upgraded to 9.04 that would solve the problem. It
- didn't.
-
+ Please note: I got this computer from someone who arbitrarily deleted
+ things without thought as to what was being deleted - including the
+ 'pool' folder, needed by 7.10. The synaptic manager file was damaged
+ initially, but a fresh install fixed that. So, I'm not sure if other
+ permanent damage was done or not to anything (like to gknome-alsa
+ mixer). I did try a fresh install of the system 7.10, which didn't work,
+ so did fresh install of 8.04 and got me here.
