On R14 I have the following sound packages installed:
libpulse 4.0-6
pulseaudio 4.0-6
pulseaudio-alsa 2-2
$ aplay /opt/trinity/share/sounds/KDE_Window_UnSticky.wav

This gets more interesting comparing the sound modules loaded in
the 3513
install and the R14 install:
3513:
Module Size Used by
snd_intel8x0 22768 2
snd_ac97_codec 89868 1 snd_intel8x0
ac97_bus 874 1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm 61237 2 snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0
snd_page_alloc 5901 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_timer 14902 1 snd_pcm
snd 44394 8
snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0,snd_timer,snd_pcm
soundcore 4378 1 snd
R14:
Module Size Used by
snd_intel8x0 23757 0
snd_ac97_codec 89404 1 snd_intel8x0
ac97_bus 878 1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm 63880 2 snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0
snd_page_alloc 5978 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_timer 14946 1 snd_pcm
snd 44598 4
snd_ac97_codec,snd_intel8x0,snd_timer,snd_pcm
soundcore 4386 1 snd
They are identical, so what ever is going on with R14, it has
exactly the same
modules loaded and available that 3.5.13 does, but for some reason
it is not
seeing the sound card or anything associated with it.
pulseaudio: I know nothing and hope to keep my life that way. :)
If the aplay command responds then you have ALSA installed. (I
thought ALSA and pulseaudio were incompatible.)
Try this:
alsactl init
Also in KControl->Sound & Multimedia->Sound System, verify the
sound system is enabled in the General tab, then look in the
Hardware tab for the audio device selection.
