Seems my sound problems are not solved right yet
So far I am using only using packman for 13.2
cinelerra-cv looked promising first clip adds in and plays with sound. add second clip and no sound any more.
>> using padsp cinelerra-cv does not help
>> setting pulse-audio to my second card with first card disabled does not help
>> kmix audio setup insists on only showing default under sound list. hardware setup list disabled card 0 as default, change it card 1 and apply switches it back to card 0 default. backends list gstreamer only.
Audiocity works with card 1, simplescreenrecorder works with card 1, vlc works with card 1, mplayer works with card 1
Changed etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf to switch the order to make card 0 = card 1 & card 1 = card 0 changes default to card 1 disabled and card 0 to enabled not default in kmix
Lives works with padsp lives and plays the clips but does not render as it crashes at 25% on 3 minute video
kdenlive in the packman repo says nothing provides libqt5core-so.1 so can;t install.
need something that can handle mpg m4v jpg/png and wav formats.
You could try the install script, it builds a “local” version, with all dependencies in it’s own directory. If it doesn’t work, you can just delete that directory - it will be in your “Home” partition.
It’s been a very long time since I did it that way, so I don’t remember if I had to install anything else to get it to build. It’s worth a try if nothing else works. I once had to do that way after somehow killing the installed version from Packman. (I’ve since learned not to “fix” things that aren’t brokenrotfl!)
I have kdenlive runing on 3 completely different PCs, all with openSUSE-13.2. I did nothing special, other than add packman repos, and select the “switch system packages” to the packman repos, followed by installing kdenlive, and it just works.
.
Wow Long time since we spoke, how are you doing?
I switched everything to the packman repository and kdenlive says it’s missing libqtcore64-so.1 and nothing provides it but that libary is installed. my choices are to not install kdenlive or brake kdenlive and force install.
In the mean time I tried pitivi which built my project in minutes with working sound. I was happy till I tried to render. It says may take a long time depending on hardware. New Acer Aspire with 1000GB hardisk / 90 GB in use, 6 GB ram, render say 15days 4hours 32 minites after 2 minites of rendering and 3% render reached. It a 6 minute 800x600 video … so this seems rediculous for a quad core.
I think I need to fix sound first.
pavucontrol
> Playback set to system sounds
> Rcording mode has nothing
> Output says Analog to speakers
> Input says Analog Microphone
> Configuration says snd-hda-intel device 0 is off (choices are 9 different HDMI digital outputs all unplugged, or off)
> snd-hda-intel device 1 is on Analog stero duplex (choices duplex , output , Input)
kmix
>Audio Playback says default (at one time it did say HDMI device 0 with 8 styles, and default to first style)
>Audio Recording has no settings
>Video Recording has no settings
>Hardware set-up shows device 0 off, if I select device 1 I get Analog stereo duplex to speakers with ‘apply’ button visible
Click Apply and it returns back to invisible when I go back into Hardware it again shows device 0 =off. So I don’t know if the setting worked and the hardware profile always shows device 0 until you look at device 1 in dropdown or what.
Backend = gstreamer
simplescreenrecorder, vlc, mplayer, kaffienne, Audiocity all work fine
cinelerra has sound for only the first clip of a project. if you add any further clips sound is disabled (no sound device)
Lives has sound but won’t render
recorditnow has no sound device available
kwave has nothing provides mp3 demux
Amorok installed kills / removes vlc mplayer kaffienne Audiocity cinelerra Lives kwave phonon-gstreamer-backend and simplescreenrecoder all due to
dependency issues and complains no valid sound devices. put back the deleted apps and everything but amorok goes back to previous state. amorok fails with segmentation fault.
Tried out pitivi as a replacement for Lives and cinelerra but rendering doesn’t seem to work.
I can kill cinelerra Lives recorditnow kwave and amorok and do without them but I need to know my base sound system is working properly before I attempt to try out other video editors
Honestly - this makes no sense when I compare it to my openSUSE-13.2 kdelive. I do NOT have libqt5core installed, nor do I need it for kdenlive version that I have.
I have the latest packman packaged kdelive from what I can see. On my PC:
Yes I am running openSUSE 13.2 with distro change to packman repo
did zypper dup --from <packman repo> & removed phonon-vlc-backend to get sound functioning in pavucontrol and kmix on the apps that work.
did so many changes trying to get sound play / sound edit / video play / video edit that who knows anymore just how badly I borked the system
Amorok was working then tried kwave which wouldn’t work, then audiocity wouldn’t even install. someone mentioned to add kde official, kde-extra, and multimedia & packman and get kwave from kde-official and codecs from multimedia and amorok broke no sound anywhere
Someone mentioned 2 identical sound cards on system is confusing YAST-Sound so set the order manually in /modules.d/sound.conf and someone else suggested that I need to only use packman repo so did the zypper dup --from <packman repo> which came back with something like 18000 conflicts to be corrected and 95 packages to install. but had to remove phonon-vlc-backend and just use gstreamer backend to phonon. That got my sound working in most apps.
Honestly - if one struggles to understand the reason for updates then IMHO if one wishes to learn, they really need to make written notes of what they update. Else it all becomes a mystery blur, and nothing is learned and problem solving quadruples in difficulty.
I had to take notes in detail when I was first learning. For me it was the only way.
.
Yep. Thought I made detailed notes but went back and read and realized I made assumptions that made sense at the time but missed details about what really was being changed. I have avidemux-gtk and openshot replacing live and cinelerra and they both work fully.
So for now I will live with the system as is until I have time to re-install to my linux spare partition.
Thankyou to all who tried to help me with sound. I will turn my attention to the final piece of contention the dreaded VirtualBox not accessing host usb.
