Hello list, |
2 |
|
3 |
I thought it was time to start a fresh thread, so here it is. |
4 |
|
5 |
I still have no working sound. I keep thinking I've fixed the problem, only to |
6 |
be proved wrong at the next reboot. The hardware is a USB dongle with a Unitek |
7 |
Y-247A chipset and I'm using an ordinary 3.5mm wired connection. |
8 |
|
9 |
The problem seems to be in my user account, because I can create a new user, |
10 |
then adjust control panel values to suit, logging out and in after each |
11 |
change. The sound keeps operating as it should - until I reboot, and then it's |
12 |
dead. |
13 |
|
14 |
By 'dead' I mean (a) it's silent, and (b) when I click the control panel |
15 |
button to test a speaker, the icon changes colour to show it's working, but it |
16 |
just hangs and never comes back. |
17 |
|
18 |
This reminds me of another problem, in which Konsole windows are not always |
19 |
restored after a login. This has still not been fixed; two bugs refer: |

1. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=819459 |
22 |
2. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445862 |
23 |
|
24 |
Something else also changes at the first reboot after creating a new user |
25 |
account: a dialogue box opens requesting permission to mount a partition - but |
26 |
that partition is one of several marked 'noauto' in fstab. (Screen shot |
27 |
attached.) |
28 |
|
29 |
What can possibly live under /home/prh and cause all this disruption? I might |
30 |
suspect I'd been hacked, but I've rebuilt a new system several times, and I've |
31 |
lost count of the times I've thrown away my user account and started again. |
