KDE Messing up my sound?
I have a Fedora Core 2 box at work that has VIA on-board audio that I
can't seem to get to work. I know all about ALSA and audio levels etc,
but I can't for the life of me get audio under KDE to work.
The
strange thing is if I boot the box into runlevel 3 and use mpg321 to
play an MP3 it works just fine. In fact if I got into runlevel 5 and
load Gnome instead of KDE audio still works. As soon as I boot into KDE
sound get hosed up and nothing will play. No error message, just no
sound from the speakers. I've tripple checked the volume levels and
still no luck.
Logic would dictate that arts is just
causing some strange problem, so I disabled arts all together and still
no sound. While sound is supposedly playing if I turn up the volume I
can hear a pop every so often that's no there when sound isn't playing,
but that's the most I get. There is no: artsd, esd, esound, etc daemons
running. Sound just refuses to work in KDE. In fact if I boot into
Gnome, play sound (it works), then boot into KDE with broken sound and
go back into Gnome it's stays hosed. KDE is doing something funky to
the soundcard. After loading KDE the only way to get sound working
again is to reboot (not even runlevel 1 fixes the problem).
So
basically sound is working fine everywhere except the place that I need
it! I've tried different kernels, as well the new KDe 3.2.3 thinking it
was KDE. No luck? Anyone have any ideas?
