well my attempts are unsuccessful so far. Applying "every trick in a |
| 16 |
book" from the above links I've got nowhere. I can reliably reproduce |
| 17 |
the problem: start amarok, try to start playing movie with, say mplayer, |
| 18 |
skip through couple of frames - and voila! sound is gone. I've tried |
| 19 |
both Xine and GStreamer backends so far with the same outcome. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So what I've done on top of my setup is: installed alsa-plugins, changed |
| 22 |
pulseaudio configs as per above forum post (checking along the way that |
| 23 |
my setup matches). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Interesting "touch" on this entire ordeal I see "Internal Audio Analog |
| 26 |
stereo" after |
| 27 |
startup, but if I kill pulseaudio process with: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
my Multimedia settings will display "PulseAudio server". Problems remain |
| 32 |
the same though. It could be the Mplayer's fault - I switched it over |
| 33 |
from "ao=alsa" to "ao=pulse" and same happens. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Right now I've got to the point where one app may lock the device while |
| 36 |
other seems to be sending output to /dev/null and keeps sending it after |
| 37 |
app that locked device quits (looks like this is the result of using |
| 38 |
GStreamer over Xine backend). |
