After reboot, my TDE has no sound at all! Amarok on starting says "Xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers". So I cleaned out PulseAudio. Uninstalled and reinstalled Amarok, Xine. Also installed jack. Copied necessary modules over from my Lubuntu, where sound works, and installed them with modprobe. But still no sound, even in VLC or gxine. Same mesage from Amarok. Any ideas on what to do?
Hi,
Sorry, not been following the thread but has sound ever worked? Have you tried ALSA without PA? If so, does that work? For me, Debian & TDE have often had no sound on fresh install and it's required me to run 'alsactl init' to initialise the ALSA sound system. You obviously need alsautils/tools & friends installed. Once that works then PA should be straight forward, I use it for network audio without problem.
Mike.
ALSA worked fine (except in Skype and Flash videos) before I installed PA. 'alsactl init' replies: Found hardware: "ThinkPad EC" "ThinkPad EC (unknown)" "" "" "" Hardware is initialized using a generic method which looks like it is missing some info. Amarok still complains, as above, and doesn't play sound.
