Pulse Audio and GNOME

jnylin · #1 21st June 2008, 07:23 PM

Hi,

I've got a strange problem on Fedora 9. My sound doesn't work with GNOME applications like Ryhtmbox and Totem, in other cases is the sound working properly. The GNOME applications doesn't show up as streams when I open the Pulse Audio Volume Control but other applications do. Someone that has an idea?

.PS. The sound chip is an ALC268, but I really don't think it's a hardware related problem

Have you tried killing the pulseaudio server 'pulseaudio --kill' and then restart it 'pulseaudio' I find sometimes you have to kill the server and restart it if it becomes unstable.

Actually I have the problem already when I start.

Go to System->Preferences->Hardware->Sound. Set sound detection into automatic. Log off and try again. Also consider update as that issue was addressed.

Thank you, a simple solution! My sound was, for some reason, set to default.
