Thanks for your reply, Oli. I've checked everything you mentioned below and it
is all ok. What happens is that when a sound is played on the client, it only
comes out of the server's speaker!
Is this an easy fix? Can you advise?
Thanks,
Adam
***************************************
on ubuntu and debian the sound stuff on the client gets started
automatically during boot by default (the distros udev and the alsa
scripts will detect your soundcard and start all needed services if a
soundcard was detected on your client).
ldm (the default display manager we use in ltsp5) then sets up a
virtual
alsa device in the users session during login. the users that shall use
sound need to be in the audio group to have access to the virtual sound
device and volume control.
to check the alsa setup is proper, have a look at the users
~/.asoundrc.asoundconf
there should be two lines like the following (never edit that file by
hand, use the asoundconf command to change anything):
pcm.!default { type pulse }
ctl.!default { type pulse }
the tunnel alsa uses as endpoint is set up through ldm by setting the
PULSE_SERVER variable, it should point to the clients IP at port 4713
(check that by runing "env" in a terminal when logged in)
note that the pulse server only runs on the client, it has nothing
furter to do with sound but being the transport endpoint ... *dont*
play
with any pulse stuff on the server, its all alsa on this side (!) ...
