Title:
USB headphones not reacting with Kubuntu 13.10
Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I plugin a USB headphone the output is not recognized. The mic
works, but not the headphone. In phonon I see that when i plug in the
USB headphone, the profile chages to HDMI. In 13.04 it worked
flawless. Plugging in the headphone switched the sound immediately to
the headphones in 13.04. I do not think the bugreporting went ok I did
thru 'ubuntu-bug -s audio' . Apachelogger helper me out on IRC. He
says to mention " sound works fine when bypassing pulseaudio, with
pulseaudio you get that alsa warning". So it seems a pulseaudio bug.
Sorry my reporting is a bit lame, but I am not a dev.
Just ping me on IRC benvantende if you need more info.
IRC log incuded below.
tHNx
[11:28:30] <benvantende> uhhh well yes speakers is al fine. the problem seems
to be in how the usb headphone is recognized. mic works fine, but no output
thru the headset
[11:28:58] <benvantende> everytime i reconnect the usb the sound device
defaults to HDMI
[11:29:52] <apachelogger> that's not what the setting does.
[11:29:56] -*- apachelogger really needs to fix that -.-
[11:30:02] <apachelogger> alas, it's not a setting :P
[11:30:17] <apachelogger> benvantende: as sound card select your headphones,
then make another screenshot please
[11:32:24] --> Jekyll (~whodare@121.28.132.18) has joined #kubuntu-devel
[11:35:09] <apachelogger> ah
[11:35:19] <benvantende> apachelogger: http://imgur.com/74H8iDH
[11:35:32] <apachelogger> afiestas_: now I get it ... the problem is that it
does not show up in about-user kcm thing?
[11:35:51] --> dpm (~dpm@ubuntu/member/dpm) has joined #kubuntu-devel
[11:36:13] <apachelogger> benvantende: if you click the 'front left' button
you don't get any output?
[11:36:18] <benvantende> no
[11:36:57] <apachelogger> hm
[11:37:29] <apachelogger> benvantende: on the first tab, did you try 'apply
list to..." and applied it to everything?
[11:38:16] <benvantende> apachelogger: yes let me shuffle it around and do
that again
[11:38:43] <benvantende> apachelogger: i also think the whole HDMI option was
not there before 13.10. not totally sure though
[11:39:15] <apachelogger> should have been anyway
[11:39:45] <apachelogger> in terminal run: PHONON_PULSEAUDIO_DEBUG=5
PHONON_DEBUG=5 PHONON_BACKEND_DEBUG=5 kcmshell4 phonon &> phonon.log
[11:40:10] <apachelogger> in the first tab make sure your headphones are at
the top of the list, then click test, wait for about 10 seconds
[11:40:36] <apachelogger> then on the second tab select your headphones as
sound card, and click front left
[11:41:07] <apachelogger> close the window again and in your home directory
is a file called phonon.log, please poste the content to paste.kde.org
[11:44:03] <benvantende> apachelogger: there you go sir!

[11:44:04] <apachelogger> afiestas_, Riddell, shadeslayer: so...
accountsservice uses .face, however kcm_useraccount and kdm use .face.icon
though... so the options are to patch kcm/kdm or patch kcm/kdm ... ultimately
the kcm would be ported to accoutnsservice though
[11:45:43] <apachelogger> ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown
PCM 11
[11:45:46] <apachelogger> that does not sound good
[11:46:14] <-- ximion (~ximion@207.216.160.78) has quit (Quit: Konversation
terminated!)
[11:46:17] <benvantende> oops ;)
[11:46:58] <benvantende> apachelogger: just to be clear. it worked flawless
on 13.04
[11:47:27] <apachelogger> PHONON_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 kcmshell4 phonon
[11:47:53] <apachelogger> first tab, find your headset in the list ... should
say (USB Audio) next to it ... select it and click test
[11:47:56] <apachelogger> do you get sound?
[11:49:18] <benvantende> i get a list with default, hw:0,0 etc, but YES SOUND
[11:49:37] <apachelogger> pulseaudio bug then it seems
[11:50:11] <benvantende> can i report that? i am afraid i cannot describe
that issue really well ;)
[11:50:29] <-- Jekyll (~whodare@121.28.132.18) has quit (Quit: Konversation
terminated!)
[11:51:15] <apachelogger> benvantende: just kcmshell4 phonon again ......
second tab select your headphones as sound card again, go through profiles and
check if any of them produces sound using using the test buttons below
[11:52:35] <benvantende> apachelogger: NO "ALSA lib
pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM 11"
[11:54:22] <apachelogger> oh
[11:54:24] <apachelogger> actually
[11:54:34] <apachelogger> benvantende: change profile to steore out + mono in
again
[11:54:51] <apachelogger> then open kmix and make sure your volume is
actually >0 ^^
[11:57:59] <apachelogger> benvantende: was the volume >0?
[11:58:09] <-- santa (~sa...@150.0.117.91.dynamic.mundo-r.com) has quit
(Quit: La vida es una mierda, ¡viva la muerte!)
[11:58:28] <benvantende> apachelogger: yes although i have seen before it

[11:59:06] <benvantende> apachelogger: now no sound at all thru the phonon
setting. amarok works fine however
[11:59:16] <apachelogger> Oo
[11:59:23] <apachelogger> benvantende: through the headphones?
[12:00:16] <benvantende> apachelogger: no not a sound thru the headphones as

[12:00:43] <apachelogger> well, I'll just call it a day and say pulseaudio

[12:03:23] <apachelogger> that should collect all relevant data... if asked
