I've been using Linux for 6 or 8 years -- without speakers. Today I |
2 |
decided to take a trip on the wild side and install speakers. It has |
3 |
been interesting. |

I've been using /usr/bin/gnome-sound-properties (started from Gnome |
6 |
start button via system//preferences/sound (from nu) to test my |
7 |
configuration. From the Sounds tab, all the System Sounds work |
8 |
perfectly. However the Devices tab works fine when ESD (Enlightenment |
9 |
Sound Daemon) is selected and doesn't work at all when "ALSA" is |
10 |
selected. In this case, "doesn't work" means the following dialog is |
11 |
displayed: |

|
13 |
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512! |
14 |
audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: |
15 |
Could not open resource for writing. |

Any tips on what I should check? |

Question 2: Is either ESD or ALSA to be preferred? Why? |
