Has Daniel T Chen rightly noted my issue had nothing to do with kubuntu, it was a problem with the way MPD (Music Player Daemon ) was configured which allowed the application to monopolize my sound output. (MPD is a 3rd party application which is not maintained by ubuntu. ) Anyway I was able to fix my issue by correcting the faulty settings (following DT Chen's tip).
@ Dima Ryazanov I don't know if you are running a clean install of kubuntu ( or you installed the kubuntu-desktop from a gnome install) because pulse audio is not installed on a fresh kubuntu, kde uses phonon with a xine backend. Out of the Box kubuntu doesn't come with pulse audio installed. Sound is very fine now on my laptop. everything works as it should even skype. -- kubuntu Karmic can't output sound at the same time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
