I am having a very nice experience with !KDE 4.8 until now on !openSUSE. No issues to report at this right moment
-
@amon0thoth1 you are lucky. i got a lot of issues, one of them are kmix completely broken
-
@mgoku Really? I feel pretty lucky or having pleased hardware. No Kmix problems at all.
-
@amon0thoth1 This is the first time i got problem with it. KDE on openSUSE always work fine for me before.
-
@mgoku Just remove pulseaudio (if present) and all your audio problems dissapear.
-
@jaimealsilva i disable it via yast. I got sound on mplayer, vlc, and amarok, but no KDE system sound at all
-
@mgoku would you like to be specific on one of them?
-
@amon0thoth1 kmix volume slider always reset to mute on login, and even after i raise up the volume, there are no sound on KDE notification
-
@jaimealsilva meh - I got 3 soundcards (sb live, radeon hdmi & hotplug usb headphones) running just fine with pulseaudio :-) !opensuse
-
@mgoku It looks like hierarchical volume control. Did you setup volume level from YaST and then Kmix? (sys prevalence over user preferences)
-
@amon0thoth1 No. Just found this bug http://identi.ca/url/66817726
-
@mgoku what sound card do you have?
-
@mgoku I could not replicate it at all. Anyway, It was already solved. Patch by Updating your system should solve for you easily.
-
@zuargo i had intel soundcard
-
@amon0thoth1 after update my system, the volume no longer reset to mute, but the mic still still don't work, i can't use skype
-
@mgoku On archlinux I had many problems with an intel integrated sound card, just I removed from the system "pulseaudio", and were fixed
-
@zuargo i still using intel sound card with pulseaudio and having no issues. The lucky one
-
@zuargo The key word here is "integrated" - get a real soundcard (recommend SB Live) and all audio on GNU/Linux works fine
-
@cyberkiller @zuargo Never had issues with integrated sound chips, and I for one wouldn't be able to upgrade, having a laptop and all that.
-
@zuargo Would that by chance be using the intel8x0 driver? iirc it's used by most "ac97 codec" chips. Many hw implementations == many quirks
-
@zuargo If that's the issue then pulseaudio is just a little more sensitive to quirks than alsa direct because it uses more of alsa...
-
@cyberkiller How I can get a real sound card in a laptop computer? :S
-
@ravenman I don't do laptops - they're a hardware pandoras box :-P but there are soundcards on usb or pcmcia, maybe try one of those?
-
@cyberkiller I have one Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series but I don't have sound in ASUS K53E (only through headphones) It's weird :s
-
@cyberkiller I have one Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series but I don't have sound in ASUS K53E (only through headphones) It's weird :S
-
@ravenman there are external USB DACs, useful on laptops for driving headphones etc. your issue is odd, though.
-
@amon0thoth1 same here, then I am a lucky one too :D
-
@jaom7 Excellent!!! ;-DD
-
@john5342 sorry, I undestand just a little bit of sound system, I just know that if I install pulseaudio I see KMix like this ur1.ca/8azfv
-
@john5342 I need read more about alsa, pulseaudio and related topics
-
@zuargo That's intended behaviour. It shows the generic controls that PA exposes, which are (in the majority of cases) more than enough.
-
@zuargo What is missing, however, is the per-application sliders that are only visible in pavucontrol. Use that instead of KMix.
-
@zuargo That looks like a bug i hit ages ago. Have you tried quitting kmix, delete all kmix settings and then starting again?
-
@ralesk If i remember right pavucontrol is gnome. Per application sliders work fine on kmix.
-
@ralesk There was however a bug in the handling of pulseaudio by kmix that caused configuration problems.
-
@john5342 pavucontrol is GTK, but not Gnome. Works very fine under KDE and allows for more settings than KMix.
-
@john5342 Yes, 4.8.0 apparently supports it better than 4.7; I still don't see how I could assign eg. a diff. record source for Skype in it.
-
@ralesk pretty sure i had per app vols since 4.6 at least. There also used to be an env var to show alsa controls and not just pulseaudio.
-
@ralesk Recording sources are under settings i believe... If not i am pretty sure it can also be done under System Settings too...
-
@john5342 Could be, still can't set the per app devices, or just isn't apparent to me how to do it.
-
@ralesk Sorry. My mistake. I thought you were talking about per app volumes rather than devices. No i don't think kmix can do that yet...
-
@ralesk are you sure that generics controls is more than enough?. Wheter I don't have installed PA I get more sliders.
-
@zuargo Most of those sliders you won't need to touch anyway (what version of KDE are you using?)
-
Furthermore in the web page says "kmix-pulse-broken", it makes me think that is not enough
-
no, I didn't try that, I will try...
-
the point is, although I don't use them, I want to see them because I like to have my system running with all features enabled. KDE 4.8.0
-
@zuargo que yo que?
-
jajjajaja xD
-
@zuargo find Veromix and replace KMix with it
-
@ralesk Kmix can do that. At least in Suse. Rclick, restore, playback streams tab and bob's your uncle
-
@lordgorthaur Right, wasn't present in 4.6 or whenever the first "PA-aware" Kmix was made. It's there in 4.8, but see the rest of thread
