I don't use it much, but I have Gnome installed, so I can play around |
| 15 |
with it if I like. Whenever PulseAudio gets updated, I manually |
| 16 |
rename /usr/bin/pulseaudio. I was never able to configure it, despite |
| 17 |
some help from this list in the past, I think my problem is that my |
| 18 |
internal sound card has two devices, and the HDMI one is default. For |
| 19 |
ALSA I was able to switch them, with PulseAudio I had no success. |

Sound behaviour is very erratic, and killing the pulseaudio process (or |
| 22 |
not enabling it to start at all) seems to help. Although it still happens |
| 23 |
that Amarok or Flash do not play sound, even though the test sound works |
| 24 |
fine in the Phonon setup. |

Quite annoying, but these days I have no time for that any more :-( |
