Hello all,

I seem to have a similar problem to that was described by William
Goodman in this posting:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11023.html


My setup:

- RHEL 5.2 i386 running on a Sun Ultra 20
- CentOS 5.2 i386 on the same machine (dual boot; for testing purposes)
- SRSS 4.1 on both partitions; works tip top with both distros (except
for the sound problem)
- Sun Ray DTU's:  Sun Ray 2, Sun Ray 170 and Sun Ray 270 ... I
experience the same problem on all of them


The symptoms that I experience:

- normal applications seem to produce no sound (e.g. there is no sound
in Firefox, YouTube, etc.)
- I get the same problem on both RHEL 5.2 and CentOS 5.2 (on the
bright side: this really seems to prove that CentOS is 1:1 compatible
with RHEL, even errors are reproducible 1:1 :-)  ...)
- GNOME's volume control applet is being loaded but right-clicking on
it and then selecting "Open Volume Control  Ctrl+O" produces this
error message:
  "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
(clicking on "Close" removes the message again). This too happens on
both RHEL and CentOS ...

- Environment variables are being set though:
$ env | grep AUDIO
AUDIODEV=/tmp/SUNWut/dev/utaudio/utdsp-0
UTAUDIODEV=/tmp/SUNWut/dev/utaudio/utdsp-0

- going into the "Sound" preferences via the menu: " System >
Preferences > Sound "
... and then going to "Sound Events" (which is set to 'Autodetect')
and clicking the "Test" button there it might produce a distorted
sound the first time I click the button (this does not always happen),
but on the second and all subsequent clicks it then produces the
normal GNOME test sound you're supposed to hear.

- going to the "Sounds" tab and clicking on the 'play' button of any
of the preset sound events there produces no sound though, e.g. I can
click on "Question dialog:", "Warning message:", and so on, but
instead of hearing any of the configured *.wav files all I get is
silence.


I'd be thankful for tips on how to resolve this :)

Thanks in advance!
