[Bug 400973] Re: Waiting for sound system to respond
I just hit a related issue when moving my home directory from one system to another. After moving the data from my home directory (including ~/.pulse), the sound applet stopped responding. On startup, it would say "Waiting for sound system to respond". After deleting ~/.pulse and rebooting, the problem went away. PulseAudio should be more forgiving in this case, since it's common to copy user preferences from one account to another.

[Bug 400973] Re: Waiting for sound system to respond
pulse AND alsa both come installed and thats the problem. they conflict, and cause a LOT of problems. try this , my personal mix. should work like a charm. you can reverse this method to keep pulse if you like . but i think this method is pretty good almost willing to bet fix all sound issues in karmic, unless hardware completely doesnt support it, like SIS graphics could reverse the process to keep pulse if you wanted software conflict, this should fix it since this is a microsoft, i mean software conflict problem, you should be able to use this method on all karmic install no matter what your hardware is. if not, i would suggest backing up your info and starting from the top. again tho, you shouldnt have to. any pakages you already have shouldnt affect the script either, or your install. restores all sound including system sounds. also stops freezing issues that happened when adjusting audio settings. THIS METHOD CLEARS OUT PULSE COMPLETELY BUT DOES FIX THE SOUND. I TESTED THE SCRIPT ON A FRESH INSTALL EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECT AFTER SUDO NAUTILUS.

I've reconfigured the appropriate gnome packages to use gstreamer instead of pulseaudio: https://launchpad.net/~dtl131/+archive/ppa/ OSS/4 users will want the libcanberra packages in that PPA as well (if they want event sounds).

OSS4 users can use the System -> Preferences -> keybindings app (or run "gnome-keybinding-properties" in terminal) to map volume keys to ossmix commands. First figure out what tracks are available by running 'ossmix' command with no arguments. Then experiment with the ossmix command in the terminal.

[Bug 400973] Re: Waiting for sound system to respond
I get this message too. Also not using pulseaudio before I upgraded, but karmic installed it for me on upgrade. My sound buttons are now broken after I uninstalled pulse audio. Was on an irc channel earlier talking with a bunch of people about what to do who had the same problem. I had to restart ubuntu after I uninstalled pulseaudio, as the uninstall did not stop pulse audio. A bunch of applications started using up all my cpu once pulse audio was stopped, and I had to restart my laptop. I guess the pulseaudio client library is buggy with regard to when pulse audio stops. I had to uninstall pulse audio, since it used up a constant 3% cpu even when there was no sound coming out... making my battery flat, and keeping my fans running reducing the lifetime of my laptop. -- Waiting for sound system to respond https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-media in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 400973] Re: Waiting for sound system to respond
I found a good GUI workaround for controlling gstreamer and event sound preferences. One can still run the old gnome-sound-properties with a couple of files. The attached file has 32bit/x86 and 64bit/x86-64 versions of the gnome-sound-properties program. Move the appropriate version of this file to /usr/local/bin and move the sound- properties.glade (this file is not architecture-dependent) to /usr/local/share/gnome-control-center/glade/ (you'll probably need to create this directory). If you need a different architecture, get the appropriate .deb at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control- center/1:2.26.0-0ubuntu3 . DO NOT install the .deb, just right-click it and open it in the Archive Manager. The file you need is data.tar.gz/./usr/bin/gnome-sound-properties. Extract that file and follow the above instructions. As for mixing, OSS4 users will probably want to use ossmix or ossxmix and ALSA users will probably install the alsamixergui package. I guess it would be possible to use the xfce4 mixer in GNOME too. ** Attachment added: "soundproperties.tar.gz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33491183/soundproperties.tar.gz -- Waiting for sound system to respond https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-media in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
