No sound on KDE4 Opensuse 11.1 RC1

[ikurtram]

Upgraded to 11.1 RC1 over last weekend. Everything seems to be working fine except for sound on KDE4. When I login to KDE3.5, sound works on all the applications and I hear the login sound too. When I run a KDE4 application while in KDE3.5 (such as KDE4-JuK), there is no sound on it either.

Can someone help me debug this issue?

Thanks in advance

I'm having the same problem. On logging in to KDE4 it pops up a message about it not having a driver for for my sound. However, while poking around looking whilst logged in as root in a parallel session,for a log that contained the message (which disappeared before I could write it down) the sound worked, and it worked in my existing session as well when I returned to it, so I suspect it might be a permissions issue.

Cheers,

Rod

Thank you for your response.

So, you mean to say that sound works for you when you login to KDE4 as root?

Ignore that question. I tested it on my setup and I see the same behavior. When I login to KDE4 as root, I get sound. But no sound as user. I'm not sure why. The user is already a member of the "audio" group. I also made the user a member of "pulse-**" group hoping it would make some difference but no luck.
