Hello list,
I'm having trouble with my sound in a rather fresh Testing box on KDE.
Before I lay down the situation, let me clarify that I have googled,
rather extensively, in pursuit of a solution to my problem, yet I have
not found a solution that solves my problem. So, instead of turning my
system into a bundle of conflicting packages very possibly unrelated
to my problem, I decided to post my inquiry here. Now to the
presentation:
My sound works well for system sounds and notifications, such as the
music playing when logging into KDE and when emptying the trash. I can
also listen to music through Amarok and have sound from games as well
(namely, Tremulous). However, I do NOT have any sound from flash
player (I have installed flashplugin-nonfree) in both Iceweasel and
Konqueror or any sound from AVI videos (tested through vlc). I also
get a "Problem with Audio Playback" when making calls through Skype,
but I can live without Skype.
Here is what the "iceweaselrc" file says about my /dev/dsp wrapper for
iceweasel:
ja...@debian:~$ sudo nano /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc
# which /dev/dsp wrapper to use
ICEWEASEL_DSP="aoss"
I have tried setting it to all the other values that the iceweasel
manpage says there are, yet still no luck.
Here is what lspci -v says about my hardware sound (I have omitted
output unrelated to audio devices or controllers):
ja...@debian:~$ lspci -v
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio

And below are some screenshots from system settings->multimedia

I have installed the following packages possibly related to my issue,
after googling a bit:
libasound libasound2-doc alsa-base alsa-utils alsa-oss alsamixergui
May I also note that after running iceweasel with an "aoss" wrapper
ja...@debian:~$ aoss /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel
I see the following output on the terminal, repeated constantly:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Yet I still get no sound.
I'd like to add that I've examined the terminal output after choosing
my Debian partition from Grub and noted the string:
Setting up ALSA... done.
kmix is well set and configured, and so is alsamixergui.
Might there be any solution to my problem?
I believe this is all I can provide you with for now, please do not
hesitate to ask for more information and I shall give it.
Thanks,
J
