With PulseAudio and without sound in my computer

Ravenman · 2010-05-07 02:54:32

Hi to everyone.

I followed the instructions for to install PulseAudio but I can't hear nothing in my computer.

Only I found these messages in the /var/log/errors:

May  4 19:31:09 archerpc kdm_greet[3974]: Cannot load /usr/share/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face: No such file or directory
May  4 19:32:10 archerpc pulseaudio[4201]: pid.c: Daemon already running.
May  4 19:32:10 archerpc pulseaudio[4214]: pid.c: Daemon already running.

May  4 19:32:11 archerpc pulseaudio[4231]: pid.c: Daemon already running.

Someone else with the same problem ... anyone knows how to fix it?

The daemon is already running. Did you setup your .asoundrc so that apps play to pulseaudio?

No, I didn't. I don't have the ~/.asoundrc file. I configured the /etc/asound.conf file:

[user@archerpc ~]$ cat /etc/asound.conf 
pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}
pcm.pulse_monitor {
  type pulse
  device alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
}

ctl.pulse_monitor {
  type pulse
  device alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
}
pcm.phononpulse {
  type plug
  slave.pcm {
    type pulse
  }
  hint {
    show on
    description "PulseAudio"
  }
}

[user@archerpc ~]$

Run pavucontrol to see what cards etc. pulseaudio is detecting. You may simply have something muted. The error message says that something is trying to start pulseaudio, but a pulse daemon is already running.

Please specify exactly what you've been doing, not just "i followed the wiki", cos that branches.
