I'm having similar problems. Here's some relevant shell output: I'm trying to play on the digital device: $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: AD198x Digital [AD198x Digital] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
So I set up Pulseaudio: $ grep alsa-sink /etc/pulse/default.pa load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,1 But now I can't start the daemon: $ pulseaudio -vD I: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary priviliges: I: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us priviliges. Dropping SUID again. I: main.c: For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit priviliges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user. I: main.c: Note that real-time/high-priority scheduling is NOT normally required. If you experience crackling or other sound anomalies, consider one or more of the above solutions. I: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but now allowed by policy. Disabling forcibly. E: main.c: daemon startup failed. OK, adding group: $ sudo addgroup username pulse-rt Adding user `username' to group `pulse-rt' ... Adding user username to group pulse-rt Done. But no luck: $ pulseaudio -vD [same error as before] If I change /etc/pulse/default.pa to use device "0,0" the daemon starts, but of course I don't get any digital output. PS: Using the "AD198x Digital" device in gnome-sound-properties kinda works, but with no sound mixing (yes, ESD is turned on). -- [Hardy] S/Pdif / digital output not available in pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
