Re: [gentoo-user] no sound with pulseaudio
dear Valdáez!
I still didn't mention to say thank you very much for all of your
support. It works, and that wonderfully.
I deeply apologize answering that late, I was the last days sick and
couldn't answer anyone.
Listening to music works fine, only the mic doesn't work :(

Hi!
I have configured pulseaudio according
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/PulseAudio
but I simply have no sound.
The pulseaudio playback volume meter shows me signal, and that the bars
are jumping if I playback a music track.
alsa-plugins (with pulseaudio USE flag)
gst-plugins-pulse
are installed. But I don't know what is being blocked, that I have no
sound output at my headphones.
PS: the headphones are ok.
Any suggestions?
What music player are you using? Did you set or modify ~/.asoundrc?
~/.asoundrc doesn't exist.
I have /etc/asound.conf with these entries:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
for all alsa applications to be redirected to pulse!
Mmmh. It's not exactly like that: If you use pcm.pulse and ctl.pulse,
then you need to specify pulse as the virtual ALSA device. If you want
all alsa applications to be redirected to pulse, you need:
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
The players Rhythmbox, xine all with pulseaudio default output plugins.
That should work. Did you check in sound settings that pulse is indeed
the desired output
What Desktop do you use?
Gnome, latest 2.x version
Is the pulseaudio daemon running?
Yes!
tamer@office ~ $ pstree -pu | grep puls
|-pulseaudio(22833,tamer)-+-gconf-helper(22840)---{gconf-helper}(22841)
| |-{pulseaudio}(22839)
| `-{pulseaudio}(22842)
Looks OK.
I have added all config files in /etc/pulse/
I wouldn't touch the files on /etc/pulse. I recommend first trying to
make it work with the files included with pulseaudio (backup
/etc/pulse, move the dir out of /etc and emerge again pulseaudio)
before trying anything else. Supposedly, pulseaudio should just
works. Since the first time I installed it I have never touched the
files in /etc/pulse, except to change the log-level of the daemon.
As requested, I moved the pulse folder somewhere else and remerged
pulseaudio as well moved /etc/asound.conf somewhere else as well.
No sound!
Weird.
I'm on GNOME 3, so things are a little different, and I don't remember
exactly the dialogs, but instead of the Gentoo wiki page, I would
follow this:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
And more specifically:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GNOME
and
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GStreamerApplications
Also, in really weird cases, the ALSA device gets its volume muted:
You can try to remove (back up first) /etc/asound.conf, and run (as
root)
alsamixer -V all
I did, and fired all the bars up. nothing! really nothing!
Really weird.
and trying to unmute and turn up the volume on everything. When you
hear something with any player, return the asound.conf to /etc and try
again.
Regards.
I have the dumb feeling that one process is blocking the output, I hear
in my headphones the white noise of my system, which wouldn't be there
if the soundcard hadn't been initialised.
It's more simple than that: if you see the bars movind in the mixer
application, some sound should be made.
Is there a way to find out which applications might make use of the
soundcard right now?!
Probably with strace or a similar tool; however, let me see first if
I'm understanding the problem. This is a laptop?
A usual tower machine! Core2 DUO, nothing's special!
If so, the sound
works without headphones? The internal speakers work?
with the headphones all the time
There are no internal speakers (not a notebook)
Also, can you please post the output of pactl list?
Yes of course, here it is:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=wDgy3x64
OK, I'm back on my laptop. I would have told you yesterday the
commands, but using my phone keyboard make it slightly impossible.
The problem (I think) is that your sound card has digital and analog
outputs. At some point in the future, the kernel drivers would be able
to auto-detect which output has a cable connected to it, but right now
(AFAIK) is not working, and for some reason in your machine pulse is
sending the output through the digital output: that's the meaning

Re: [gentoo-user] no sound with pulseaudio
You are absolutely right!
when I added asound.conf again, all alsa sources are directed to
pulseaudio and again no sound.
I am not an expert with pulseaudio. If you can help me there, I would
thank you.
In the meanwhile I will see how to get it handled. As I got it
(hopefully) solved, I will repost.
Thanks

I think I see the problem: the sound is getting through the digital
output, not the analog one (near the end of pactl output). You need to
set the analog output: pactl man page will tell you how (sorry, left the
laptop at the office and I'm writing this on my phone). It's also
possible to do it with gnome-sound-settings, in the hardware tab (if I
remember correctly).
Good luck.

Hi!
I have configured pulseaudio according

The pulseaudio playback volume meter shows me signal, and that the bars

alsa-plugins (with pulseaudio USE flag)
gst-plugins-pulse

PS: the headphones are ok.
Any suggestions?
What music player are you using? Did you set or modify ~/.asoundrc?
~/.asoundrc doesn't exist.
I have /etc/asound.conf with these entries:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse

ctl.pulse {
type pulse

The link you provided also shows:
[snip ...]
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {

Why did you leave these out of your /etc/asound.conf

Because Flash player didn't work in the past. When flash started, it
blocked the output of all other things among.

Mmmh. It's not exactly like that: If you use pcm.pulse and ctl.pulse,
then you need to specify pulse as the virtual ALSA device. If you want
all alsa applications to be redirected to pulse, you need:
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
The players Rhythmbox, xine all with pulseaudio default output plugins.
That should work. Did you check in sound settings that pulse is indeed
the desired output
What Desktop do you use?
Gnome, latest 2.x version
Is the pulseaudio daemon running?
Yes!
tamer@office ~ $ pstree -pu | grep puls
|-pulseaudio(22833,tamer)-+-gconf-helper(22840)---{gconf-helper}(22841)
| |-{pulseaudio}(22839)
| `-{pulseaudio}(22842)
Looks OK.
I have added all config files in /etc/pulse/
I wouldn't touch the files on /etc/pulse. I recommend first trying to
make it work with the files included with pulseaudio (backup
/etc/pulse, move the dir out of /etc and emerge again pulseaudio)
before trying anything else. Supposedly, pulseaudio should just
works. Since the first time I installed it I have never touched the
files in /etc/pulse, except to change the log-level of the daemon.
As requested, I moved the pulse folder somewhere else and remerged
pulseaudio as well moved /etc/asound.conf somewhere else as well.
No sound!
I'm on GNOME 3, so things are a little different, and I don't remember
exactly the dialogs, but instead of the Gentoo wiki page, I would
follow this:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
And more specifically:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GNOME
and
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GStreamerApplications
Also, in really weird cases, the ALSA device gets its volume muted:
You can try to remove (back up first) /etc/asound.conf, and run (as
root)
alsamixer -V all
I did, and fired all the bars up. nothing! really nothing!
and trying to unmute and turn up the volume on everything. When you
hear something with any player, return the asound.conf to /etc and try
again.
Regards.
I have the dumb feeling that one process is blocking the output, I hear
in my headphones the white noise of my system, which wouldn't be there
if the soundcard hadn't been initialised.
Is there a way to find out which applications might make use of the
soundcard right now?!

playback is death. It does, but not through pulseaudio :(
so with alsa directly we have sound, but not with pulseaudio

Re: [gentoo-user] no sound with pulseaudio
I think I see the problem: the sound is getting through the digital output,
not the analog one (near the end of pactl output). You need to set the
analog output: pactl man page will tell you how (sorry, left the laptop at
the office and I'm writing this on my phone). It's also possible to do it
with gnome-sound-settings, in the hardware tab (if I remember correctly).
Good luck.

The pulseaudio playback volume meter shows me signal, and that the
bars
are jumping if I playback a music track.
alsa-plugins (with pulseaudio USE flag)
gst-plugins-pulse
are installed. But I don't know what is being blocked, that I have
no
sound output at my headphones.
PS: the headphones are ok.
Any suggestions?
What music player are you using? Did you set or modify ~/.asoundrc?
~/.asoundrc doesn't exist.
I have /etc/asound.conf with these entries:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
for all alsa applications to be redirected to pulse!
Mmmh. It's not exactly like that: If you use pcm.pulse and ctl.pulse,
then you need to specify pulse as the virtual ALSA device. If you want
all alsa applications to be redirected to pulse, you need:
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
The players Rhythmbox, xine all with pulseaudio default output
plugins.
That should work. Did you check in sound settings that pulse is indeed
the desired output
What Desktop do you use?
Gnome, latest 2.x version
Is the pulseaudio daemon running?
Yes!
tamer@office ~ $ pstree -pu | grep puls
|-pulseaudio(22833,tamer)-+-gconf-helper(22840)---{gconf-helper}(22841)
| |-{pulseaudio}(22839)
| `-{pulseaudio}(22842)
Looks OK.
I have added all config files in /etc/pulse/
I wouldn't touch the files on /etc/pulse. I recommend first trying to
make it work with the files included with pulseaudio (backup
/etc/pulse, move the dir out of /etc and emerge again pulseaudio)
before trying anything else. Supposedly, pulseaudio should just
works. Since the first time I installed it I have never touched the
files in /etc/pulse, except to change the log-level of the daemon.
As requested, I moved the pulse folder somewhere else and remerged
pulseaudio as well moved /etc/asound.conf somewhere else as well.
No sound!
Weird.
I'm on GNOME 3, so things are a little different, and I don't remember
exactly the dialogs, but instead of the Gentoo wiki page, I would
follow this:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
And more specifically:
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GNOME
and
http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GStreamerApplications
Also, in really weird cases, the ALSA device gets its volume muted:
You can try to remove (back up first) /etc/asound.conf, and run (as
root)
alsamixer -V all
I did, and fired all the bars up. nothing! really nothing!
Really weird.
and trying to unmute and turn up the volume on everything. When you
hear something with any player, return the asound.conf to /etc and try
again.
Regards.
I have the dumb feeling that one process is blocking the output, I hear
in my headphones the white noise of my system, which wouldn't be there
if the soundcard hadn't been initialised.
It's more simple than that: if you see the bars movind in the mixer
application, some sound should be made.
Is there a way to find out which applications might make use of the
soundcard right now?!
Probably with strace or a similar tool; however, let me see first if
I'm understanding the problem. This is a laptop?
A usual tower machine! Core2 DUO, nothing's special!
If so, the sound
works without headphones? The internal speakers work?
with the headphones all the time
There are no internal speakers (not a notebook)
Also, can you please post the output of pactl list?
Yes of course, here it is:

pavucontrol is your friend. It lets you configure your sound devices
current profile, and also set the fallback (default) sink.

I think I see the problem: the sound is getting through the digital output,
not the analog one (near the end of pactl output). You need to set the
analog output: pactl man page will tell you how (sorry, left the laptop at
the office and I'm writing this on my phone). It's also possible to do it
with gnome-sound-settings, in the hardware tab (if I remember correctly).
Good luck.

Re: [gentoo-user] no sound with pulseaudio
Also, if flash didn't work previously, that's because it was not using PA (or alsa default device), it was hardcoded to use alsa device hw0, so they forcefully used to use ALSA. Since PA has control over the sound device (since PA is the mixer, not ALSA), flash couldn't use it, thus no sound. I reaffirm, you should use all 4 blocks of configuration in your asound.conf. It will create the PA virtual device and also set it as default for the system. This way, ALSA software will output to PA too.
