Sound in only some applications

I have analog sound on the web, gnome-mplayer, LXmusic simple music player, but no longer on vlc or banshee.
On VLC spdif sound is perfect but will no longer switch over.

On banshee, the pulse audio volume control shows banshee playing.

All applications are unmuted.

Any ideas would be helpful

Re: Sound in only some applications

Do all of these have native pulse support? are pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-plugins installed?

Re: Sound in only some applications

I have the same problem, but only in same games (supertux - supertuxkart)
I have installed apulse and lib32-apulse for skype

[francesco@francescopc ~]$ sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
[sudo] password di francesco: 
                     UTENTE      PID ACCESSO COMANDO
/dev/snd/controlC0:  francesco    899 F.... volumeicon

supertux installed sdl2 dipendencies:

    alsa-lib: ALSA audio driver [installato]
    libpulse: PulseAudio audio driver [installato]

Is this a problem?

Re: Sound in only some applications

@francesco_dem this isn't the same problem, yours is with a regression in openal (see: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47136 rebuild openal with the patches provided there or build openal from latest git until a fixed version has been released)

Re: Sound in only some applications

there you have it, vlc blocks. Make sure to set VLC to use the pulseaudio backend somewhere in its settings (Preferences -> Audio -> Output set that to Automatic or Pulseaudio)

Re: Sound in only some applications

or simply install pulseaudio-alsa

Thanks --
Have pulseaudio-alsa. Will change configuration and report back.

Re: Sound in only some applications

fuser -v show the following:

for vlc:
                              USER             PID     ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:      wpt        2845 F.... pulseaudio
                                     wpt        3901 F.... vlc
/dev/snd/controlC2:      wpt        2845 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:   wpt        3901 F...m vlc
/dev/snd/timer:             wpt        3901 f.... vlc

for xmms2:

                                  USER        PID      ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:      wpt        2873 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC2:      wpt        2873 F.... pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D1p:   wpt        7856 F...m xmms2d

for banshee:

                                  USER        PID      ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/controlC0:      wpt        2873 F....    pulseaudio
/dev/snd/controlC2:      wpt        2873 F....    pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:    wpt        2873 F...m pulseaudio
/dev/snd/pcmC2D0p:    wpt        2873 F...m pulseaudio
/dev/snd/timer:             wpt        2873 f....    pulseaudio

As you can see banshee is not recognized. I just installed it.
In addition vlc has stopped playing analog stereo, although I have the correct setting in pulse volume control

Re: Sound in only some applications

you  want to have the last output, if anything other than pulse  has your cards open then that's likely not what you wanted. And if vlc still shows that you haven't switched the flip correctly or your pulseaudio-alsa bites itself with another .asoundrc somewhere. have you manually created an asoundrc sometime? Can you have the applications you have problems with open and post

pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sink-inputs

please post output of commands within [ code ] tags in the future, makes it more readable

Re: Sound in only some applications

Your default sink, and  thus the sink banshee plays to is a null sink so I doubt  that's what you want, what happens if you switch away from that in pavucontrol? Where do you want to play to? The SPDIF of your internal card? you'll have to switch the profile on that as well. (Did you just enable all the sinks in paprefs and now your stuff plays to an empty sink?)

Re: Sound in only some applications

I have no idea how all of this happened. Hasn't been touched in three years. Will follow your instructions and report back.

Re: Sound in only some applications

Well technically the rtp sink has to be a null sink , but it doesn't sound like you actually want to play to the rtp sink. A reason for why this happened could be the recent ALSA update which changed a few things on how cards are detected, that may have inclined pulseaudio to set RTP as the default sink since it was the only stream on which the identifier remained constant.

Re: Sound in only some applications

I will update the system as soon as the new kernel gets out of  testing.
