[SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

Hello,
   I'm experiencing quite the issue with my laptop(Asus N53SV, i3-2310M model). Cmus gives me the annoying "Error: opening audio device: internal error" and with skype I only have "Virtual Device" in the device lists. I noticed this happening a couple of days after an update so I rolled back root(had a backup made with rsync the day before the update). I've tried stopping/starting the daemon, fiddling with "/usr/lib/systemd/system/fluidsynth.service", "/etc/libao.conf" aswell as reinstalling both the programs and pulse/alsa to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
   Robert

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

What is the output for cmus set to? (run cmus, press 7, look for output device) Check what is using your sound cards:

fuser -v /dev/snd/*

I assume you are currently running pulseaudio, which should show up in the output. And if that is the case, cmus might be wanting to use the same alsa device, which is probably already occupied.

Do other applications output sound? What about speaker-test? Can you run multiple instances of it?

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

Cheers for the quick reply. What i've got so far is:

1. Cmus is as follows:

mixer.alsa.channel                 //blank
mixer.alsa.device                  //blank
mixer.oss.channel                  PCM
mixer.oss.device                   //blank
mixer.pulse.restore_volume         1
output_plugin                      pulse

Once I switch "output_plugin" from pulse to alsa and I try playing something the error changes from "Error: opening audio device: internal error" to "Error: opening audio device: No such file or directory".

2. fuser -v /dev/snd/* normally prints only:

/dev/snd/controlC0:  robert     1016 F.... panel-9-mixer

if I don't have anything running. And:

/dev/snd/controlC0: robert     1016 F.... panel-9-mixer
                    robert     1074 F.... chromium
                    robert    31350 F.... xfce4-mixer
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:  robert     1074 F...m chromium
/dev/snd/timer:     robert     1074 f.... chromium

if I've run a clip via youtube and the audiomixer(in which I only have alsa, pulse is nowhere to be found).

3. Skype's test sound doesn't do anything nor can I hear anything one I try a test call.
4. In the audiomixer the microphone slider does affect it as I can hear my finger tapping the internal microphone.

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

Use [_code_][_/code_] tags without the underscores. Please correct your previous post.

If you were using pulseaudio before the recent upgrade, it should be running. If you have not, you must now, since the newest skype (>=4.3) requires pulseaudio. Try running pulseaudio with -vvvv switch.

That hit the nail on the head, marked the errors in a block.

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

Do you have remap options somewhere along the configuration? I stopped using pulseaudio some time ago, so I can be little of help. Maybe using the default configuration, would resolve this.

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

I haven't tinkered with anything besides what I've mentioned here. How could I force the default config ?

And what about the module.c/main.c errors I was getting when running pulseaudio -vvvv

E: [pulseaudio] module-remap-source.c: Failed to parse module arguments.
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-remap-source" (argument: "master=alsa_input.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo master_channel_map=front-left,front-  right channels=2 channel_map=mono,mono### Remap microphone to mono"): initialization failed.

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

Deleting ~/.config/pulse should be sufficient. You can remove pulseaudio and all its packages (like pulseaudio-alsa), reboot and install it again to just make sure. Look if you have any pacnew files in /etc that pulse might use.

And what about the module.c/main.c errors I was getting when running pulseaudio -vvvv

That is the reason I asked about remap. If you do the above, and pa still refuses to start, be sure to check arch linux pulseaudio wiki. Go through the configuration files if you find nothing on the wiki.

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

Deleting ~/.config/pulse didn't fix it. As for removing the packages I'm not able to remove them, dependency issues pop up.

pacman -R pulseaudio

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnome-settings-daemon: requires pulseaudio
:: pulseaudio-alsa: requires pulseaudio

pacman -R pulseaudio-alsa

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnome-settings-daemon: requires pulseaudio-alsa

and gnome-settings-daemon:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnome-shell: requires gnome-settings-daemon

Sorry for the late reply, was caught up in some work.

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

And probably all of Gnome is dependent on gnome-shell... I do not recommend ignoring dependencies at this time. Did you read the wiki?

Search for the module in question in configuration files, there should be some explanation. That "### Remap microphone to mono" part very probably should not be parsed as an argument.

You could also try to load the module by hand:

pacmd load-module module-remap-source
# or similar, I have no way of testing it

It probably will do nothing, since the daemon or its starting sequence is not up.

Some reference 1, 2.

Re: [SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

Ended up reinstalling the OS and copying my confs(which I previously backed up with rsync) over the defaults. Afterwards I noticed that the capture device was muted in the Alsa mixer. Not sure if that was the case before the reinstall but everything works as it should now. Thank you very much for the help, emeres, and sorry for the late reply.
