For completeness here's what I have ended up with: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf : |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss |
| 6 |
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss |
| 7 |
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
options snd cards_limit=4 slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-hda-intel,snd-usb-audio |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel |
| 12 |
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel |
| 13 |
options snd-card-0 enable=1 model=6stack-dig |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
now as it turns out that sandwich of a sound system we're expected to |
| 16 |
run currently has more than one weak point. So I have learned that ALSA |
| 17 |
was only part of my problem, and I got it working just fine with the |
| 18 |
above config, now pulseaudio and phonon were two other areas where I |
| 19 |
didn't expect to struggle but I did! |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
In the end, after spending some hours reading bulks of documents on |
| 22 |
ALSA, pulseaudio and phonon and noticing that in KDE-4.3.5 my control |
| 23 |
panel was showing not the stuff that documentation for abovementioned |
| 24 |
pieces suggests, I killed pulseaudio daemon, then restarted it back from |
| 25 |
command line and... lo-and-behold I've got "PulseAudio Sound Server" in |
| 26 |
the list of available output devices. Here's what I've done: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
in my home directory |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
$ cat .kde4/Autostart/pulseaudio.sh |
| 31 |
#!/bin/sh |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill |
| 34 |
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start -D |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
now things are "singing" again. Doesn't look like I'm getting both ALSA |
| 37 |
and PulseAudio, but that's OK - so far it seems like PulseAudio picks |
| 38 |
the right sinks/sources. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I am not exactly sure why do I need to kill pulseaudio and restart it |
| 41 |
again - but it works. Anybody with a better insight please correct me. |
