Hello,
having spent the last few days trying to solve the sound problems,
I have moved a step further, but still some help would be higly
appreciated.
I have a fresh installation of OpenSuse 11.2 32-bit. My soundcard
is Terratec EWX 24-96. The card is detected in Yast, and I can play
test sound from the Yast/Sound panel. All volume sliders are set
to maximum values (I have also double checked it in alsamixer).
I can hear the sound when doing this test from the Gnome terminal:
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
However to make this test work:
speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav
I had to remove the asound-pulse.conf file. After removing this
file the second test (speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav) works. Removing
this file also solved the problem of missing sound in Youtube
videos played in Firefox. The original contents of the asound-pulse.conf
file was:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type pulse
}
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
The problem is I can’t play any audio files (.wav or .mp3) in Banshee.
I am sure the .wav file I use while testing is OK as I can play it with
aplay.
When I try playing the .wav file, Banshee does not complain about any
missing codecs. The slider moves as the file is being played. I have
also started Banshee with the --debug option, but there were no errors
in the output.
So my guess is that Banshee is playing the files, it’s just that
it sends the data to the wrong device/channell or whatever it is.
All of the gstreamer packages I have installed are from the Packman
repository.
When I run gstreamer-properties, the only setting on the Audio tab that
gives me sound is: ALSA (for the Plugin) and Default (for the Device).
May I ask for more help, please?
Tomek.
