New subject: [trinity-devel] 14.0.3 corrupts sound destination

17 Jul 2016

$SUBJECT appears identical on same machine booted to Jessie/14.0.3, including 
correct (external) speakers used in IceWM session. :-(

  On other PCs with openSUSE (42.1, 13.2 & 13.1) and
TDE 14.0.x that have no
 speaker built into the motherboard, I've not experienced $SUBJECT, sound
 simply works as expected. On this PC, a SFF Dell Optiplex 780, aplay and
 speaker-test work as expected whether run in multi-user.target or
 graphical.target, as does Youtube sound running an IceWM session, producing
 sound from accessory speakers plugged into the green jack, only if a TDE
 session is not running or has not been running since the last instance of
 'alsactl restore'. Speakers always work as expected in openSUSE Tumbleweed
 running Plasma5 or openSUSE 13.2 or 13.1 running KDE4 (none of which have
 their respective pulseaudio packages installed). 
...
  IOW, TDE redirects sound to the internal speaker that
should be going to
 external speakers, only on this one PC. Might there be a fix for this that
 does not involve polluting the installation with the otherwise unnecessary
 Pulseaudio rpm and its deps?
