[SOLVED] Tomahawk - no sound

I just finished installing tomahawk after a few annoyances regarding dependencies etc. but now there's no sound!

I checked alsamixer... all good.

I did a 'tomahawk --verbose' and it came back with the following:
Translation: Tomahawk: Using system locale: "en_GB"
Translation: Qt: Using default locale, system locale one not found: "en_GB"
Shutting down Tomahawk...
creating initial gui thread ( QThread(0x23e9330) ) nam
Finished shutdown.

Strange?

I'm running enlightenment on arch with the usual alsa drivers installed.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

Re: [SOLVED] Tomahawk - no sound

have you searched the forums for the sound related threads ?

There seems to be a few going on related to the kernel upgrade to 3.13. Are you sure your problem is with Tomahawk only? Have you downgraded to see if it brings back the sound ?
Have you had a look at your log files to see if there is anything of interest?

Re: [SOLVED] Tomahawk - no sound

I'm learning every day I did 'tomahawk --verbose >> /home/toma.log and found that it was failing on trying to load the pulse audio drivers. So I installed the pulseaudio drivers!

Now I have a concern: will having both alsa and pulseaudio cause some sort of issue? Is there somewhere that I can look into this? Logs confs etc. ?

Cheers!
