Fedora :: PulseAudio - Make Each VT Play Its Sound?
May 29, 2010
I'm using Fedora 13 and think this behavior comes from Pulseaudio. To make it simple, all my sounds are played in my GNOME session. What's making sense because it's where Pulseaudio is launched. So, when I switch VT (CTRL+ALT+Fx), all sounds from my GNOME session is muted. What's not the actual problem. It's in fact a good behavior. The problem is I use some VirtualBox virtual machines on other VT launched with the xinit command.
These VMs emit sounds but I'm not able to hear them because I'm not on the VT of my GNOME session. But once I get back on my GNOME session I can hear all sound from the VMs. What I want, it's to be able to hear all sounds played by the VT on which I currently am and not everything and only in my GNOME session. How I can accomplish that?

I`m using Fedora 11. I just bought a Creative Audigy Soundblaster sound card. It is recognized by the system, but I can`t make it play sound on all channels in xmms or mplayer. The alsa test confirms that all channels are working - I can hear sound from all of them. I have read several posts in other forums about modifying my ./asoundrc, but they just don`t seem to work.

Ok, still on to the silent Java. I use Java to play Runescape. I can hear the (midi?) music but none of the ambient sounds. In a chatbox I (over) heard that it is clever (needed/required) to use Pulseaudio. How do I make the JRE use paulseaudio?

I just removed Pulseaudio from both Fedora and Kubuntu due to the way it stalls other programs from launching after logging into KDE. After rebooting Kubuntu, KDE sounds, JuK and VLC all had sound, presumably via ALSA.
However, Fedora has KDE sounds but no sound in JuK or VLC. When I launch JuK, KDE reports that the HDA Intel analogue device does not work. Could this relate to Gstreamer? If Fedora falls back to ALSA if Pulseaudio is removed, does Gstreamer require additional plugins? Kubuntu has "gstreamer0.10-alsa", but Fedora doesn't seem to have an equivalent.

I've run into a couple of issues that appear to be related to PulseAudio. First, since I upgraded to FC13 a couple of weeks ago, I get no sound from flash on websites. Yesterday, I had a need to record some audio into my computer via the mic input. So, I installed Audacity, but it couldn't see the signal coming in, even though it was playing from the sound source. I did a bit of digging and found a note on the PulseAudio website that said that Audacity didn't work with PulseAudio. So, I removed PulseAudio, rebooted for good measure, and under ALSA, Audacity was able to record from the mic input.
When I was finished recording, I started Amarok playing, and I could see the progress indicator moving across the interface, but there was no sound. I checked the mixer, but nothing was muted, and the audio from Audacity was working just fine. So, I reinstalled PulseAudio. Today, I needed to do more recording, so I pulled off PulseAudio once more. I did my recording, and then tried Amarok once more without PulseAudio, with the same results. It occurred to me that I should try a website with flash and see if those work without PA installed. Indeed they do.
So here's what I have: Audacity can't record from the mic input with PA installed.
Amarok doesn't produce sound without PA installed
Flash websites don't make sound with PA installed
This all worked while I was using FC12 (though I never tried Audacity), and I've only had problems since I upgraded to FC13.

I have a PC installed with Fedora 11 and I want to use this machine headless as a music server, my amplifier is connected to this machine. After a normal installation I've changed the default runlevel from 5 to 3. I can connect from a client, using FreeNX, to this machine and I get a normal Gnome desktop. So far so good.
The problem is there is no sound. But when I log into the machine directly, still in runlevel 3 and execute the script /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 an make a new remote-desktop connection there is music. Is there a way to make pulseaudio working in a remote desktop.

Pulseaudio setup. My pulseaudio was working when I was using FC11 and it stops working after I upgrade to FC12 using preupgrade. The system sees audio device and alsa is working correctly. No audio at all (system audio and mplayer) from Pulseaudio. I am using the onboard Intel audio. The verify from the alsamixer that the volume is not muted. I also tries all the combination of profiles in the pavucontrol and in some of the profiles, I can see the output volume bar is moving, but still no sound
pulseaudio-0.9.19-2.fc12.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.21-2.fc12.x86_64
Attached is the pulseaudio log when playing video from mplayer.

I just got the upgrade for the Linux Kernel version 2.6.40-4 on my Fedora 15 x86-64 box today, and the installation completed with no problems. However when I rebooted after doing the upgrade, I noticed that I had no sound. I use an ATI Radeon HD 4350 video card, and the opensource ATI driver, and use the HDMI audio from it for sound, since my monitor has a sound output jack on it. I've booted into the previous kernel (2.6.38.8-35), and sound works fine. I've tried with the new kernel in both KDE (my default desktop environment) and XFCE to get sound, and it does not work in either one. I've tried installing the VLC Phonon Backend instead of the GStreamer Backend, reinstalling Pulseaudio, reinstalling Alsa, modprobing the necessary modules needed for the card, checking all configurations with the available Pulseaudio tools (paprefs, pavumeter, pavucontrol), checked the volumes using alsamixer, and reinstalling the ALSA Pulseaudio plugin. After trying all of these, I can still get no sound out of any application, and I also noticed that Flash video plays at 2-3 times it's normal speed after the upgrade. Again, these problems do not occur on my previous kernel. Did I maybe overlook something, or can anyone else think of something I could try?

first off, I wanna say that Fedora 12 really impresses me. I am a longtime Ubuntu User and Fedora really suprised me especially in terms of speed. Unfortunately my sound is not working. I had this problem a long time in Ubuntu, too. Then I discovered that I only had to switch off Exchange Front/ Surround in the alsamixer and everything worked fine. However, with the arrival of PulseAudio I don't get any sound from my speakers.
I went through some Guides but nothing seems to work. When I play an audio file I can see the amplitude going up and down in the Volume Meter of PulseAudio. So I think PulseAudio is working on the application side.
with
Code:
alsamixer -c 0
I can see that everything is set as it was in the passed for my soundcard. Exchange Front / Surround is switched off.
Code:
cat /proc/asound/
[Code]...
I hope you have any suggestions. Usually I look through the net till I find a solution. This time, however, I don't really know what to search for, since I tried everything I found except getting rid of PulseAudio which is my last option.

I've searched upon numerous links for a "fix" but they are either for older releases of fedora, or, I was able to make appropriate changes to the F12 KDE4 release such as the F11 how to fix pulseaudio and vlc guide in this forum
Problem: In order to get the sound to play on my system I have to go to PulseAudio Device Chooser and select default server,sink, etc. every login. I thought it was suppose to change it "permanently" , getting more specific here, when ever I play music in vlc I tend notice gaps/skips in my music very short skips .5 to 1 second sometimes 2 - 3, just now I was playing music flipping through some tracks then I am greeted with a nasty sound I cannot describe. Does anyone have a proper fix for this? Only result I came upon I have not tried yet was something with hda intel sound card and power settings, which feel will not work anyway
Here is my sound card: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Also not to mention, I use to get pop-ups notifying me of pulseaudio device not being to be found and asked to forget this device

I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with my sound in OpenSuSE. I put in a brand new Audigy chipset soundcard and finally got some sound to come out of the speakers. I used the guide here: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE. to fix the permissions on my sound and am able to get sound-test to play sounds as well as connect to the sound device in my vmware and play sounds. That being said, I have terrible sound quality coming out. There is a lot of static sound like white noise and the volume of the actual sound played is very low compared to the noise. The sounds also distort somewhat.
I have tried the pulse audio change in the tutorial above also and have been searching around google. The only problem that I saw similar was a person who fixed the problem by updating KDE. I don't have KDE, I'm using Afterstep.

After installing an external sound card, Im having some weird issues. The cards chipset is fully supported by suse, (CM8738) so I dont think thats the problem. Besides, I'm getting sound, but not in some applications. The system's sounds work just fine (login, logout themes) amarok plays without any problems, kaffeine, mplayer they all work flawlessly, in fact I can see the difference in quality between the onboard sound and my new card. However, no web browser is able to play any sound at all, firefox, opera or chrome, nothing,zip. Plus, vlc cant reproduce sound either, nor can smplayer.
I've tried switching channels on and off(muting)in kmixer and in alsamixer, on the console, with no results. I disabled the onboard audio on the bios before installing the new card, however my ati video card has integrated sound, which I cant disable.... I used to get this exact same problem randomly with the onboard sound, but I just had to go to kmixer and turn up the "pcm" channel volume, which was set to 0, and I had sound again on my browser. However this card's pcm channel is at max and turning it up or down affects the whole systems volume, not just the browser's. Is it better to just reinstall the sound system, if so how could I do that.

How can I get Firefox (and other pulseaudio-using programs) to play while I have jack running? Is there a way to make pulseaudio run through jack? I'm running ubuntu and puredyne distros.

First things first: I'm running F12 KDE and yum informs me that I'm fully up to dateI'm having a problem where the second sound that my computer plays stutters - this is best seen in amarok, the first track will play fine but the second track will stutter and play really slowly. I asked on IRC and the suggestion came back that it was possibly due to this bug[URL]

I am having sound problems with Fedora 14 the problem being no sound! I have been trying to fix this for a few days now and have spent hours and hours, I am considering putting windows back on because I am so frustrated but I would really like to get Fedora working if possible. I am new to Linux based systems but am really impressed so far, I installed it on 2 of my laptops, one of them works great, have sound no problems, but the other one has no sound, it's the older one that wont play sound, I don't know if that is relevant.
I have tried so many different fixes that I have found on the forums that I can't remember everything I've done. Now the first thing you would probably say is alsamixer -c0, I have checked that, it shows 2 master volumes one was up and one was muted. I turned the muted one up but it didn't fix the problem. But it may be worth mentioning that when I have returned to alsamixer it was back down. I tried the alsactl store command but after a reboot it had still gone back to mute.
and just to clarify I am using su commands. I have logged in as root and tried to play sound because I suspected a permissions problem but I can't play logged in as root either.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled and uninstalled again pulseaudio. I have read it has caused issues for lots of people so I left it uninstalled. Couldn't open the sound settings in system preferences so I installed gmixer. So I have asla and gmixer currently installed.
I can't remember what else I have done, that's just what I have done in the last couple of hours, I have installed almost every sound related package that I have come across, I have messed up the operating system 3 times and done a fresh install. The default sound card is ATI-IXP. The laptop in question is an IBM thinkpad R15e

I'm using Fedora 14 with wine installed and using that to run Spotify but I'm getting the error message-
'There is a problem with the sound decoder. Spotify can't play music'
I have done a search and installed the alsa bit of wine and changed the settings but I still get the above message.
My questions are- what does this mean and do I need to install something else. I have all the codes for mp3 etc.

I've had nothing but trouble with Pulseaudio in Fedora 14. I had managed to get rid of it in Fedora 10 with the command: su -c "yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio pulseaudio" I just don't want to have to deal with Pulseaudio anymore. It does not like my sound card and gets in the way. Is there a Linux distribution that does not use Pulseaudio ?

I seem to be having a problem with my sound. Every time I start my computer, I hear the sound played at the login screen and the sound played when I login. Right then, every time, the sound cracks up and stops before it finishes. Running "ubuntu-bug audio" shows that ALSA works fine but pulseaudio does not. For reference, "pacmd list" says that there are 0 sinks, 0 sources and 0 caches.
Edit: Solved by a really stupid mistake: loose 3.5mm audio cable. Don't do that. your sound and you're on a desktop computer, go, right now, and check to make sure that you haven't made the same mistake as me.

I did a system update a few days ago and now my sound won't work. The only packages that might of affected sound that were updated (that I noticed) were a few kernel updates and pulseaudio. Is there a way to downgrade pulseaudio? Or do I have to do something else?
