Sound problems with KDE4 and intel mobo
Hi
I just installed Arch with kdemod4.3.2. I tried to playback an audio file in Amarok but it keeps telling my that all sound systems HDA-intel ALC888, JACK and ESD do not work. Other apps are also silent. I have enabled the ESD daemon as shown below. Since Im a relative newb and ignorant of the KDE4 sound architecture, I dont know the appropriate diagnostics or logs, but I included these:
DAEMONS=(!syslog-ng network !netfs !crond @dbus @mysqld esd hal kdm)

Re: Sound problems with KDE4 and intel mobo
I got alsa-utils, alsa-lib and kdemod-phonon-backend-xine. I But amarok reports that the device Intel HDA ALC888 does not work. Other apps like smplayer and alsaplayer are also silent.

Re: Sound problems with KDE4 and intel mobo
Online videos have working sound. It is the desktop apps which are silent. Please tell me further ways to diagnose the problem.
[Off-topic rant] My last install was an year ago and went like a dream. This time I had issues with networking, pacman, xorg and sound. Kdm refuses to log me every even attempt, to which I still have to find a solution. KDEmod4 has a lot of app crashes. Opera is as stable as alpha
