Amarok crash, totalled the sound

[Starfelt]

Hey

Recently updated to 10.1, and had sound for a day or two until Amarok crashed on me. Since then I've had no sound in any media player (Kaffiene, XMMS) or through Firefox.

It's Amarok 1.3 on a Helix engine, output plugin: oss (It won't run alsa)

I've checked the sound on KMix and Alsa Mixer and the connections to the speakers and found that I get b(arely audible) sound through headphones when playing a CD in KsCD. There were no problems in the logs.

Bear in mind sound was working before.

try removing or renaming the home/youname/.kde/share/apps/xene-config

Neither of those worked.

Any other ideas?

Try creating a new user and see if the sound works for it.

I have a smi recuring sound problem that I can only solve by creating a new user and moving all my important stuff from the old.

You also may want to run in the console

ps -A | grep kdesktop

to see if there are multiple instances running.

This is the actually problem I found. jsut don't know why or how to fix it other then moving to a new user ID

That is bothersome. It doesn't work on any pre-existing users, so I guess I'll have to try a new one.

If it does not work on other pre-existing users (root too??) then something in the sound chain is foobar.


Does the sound card work ie if you go to Yast-hardware-sound does it play the little test music??

Try going to a full console ctrl-alt-f1 log in as root and run

alsaconf

get any sound??

And yes this sound stuff is a real pain. I've wasted days on it. It is a shame though becuase other then the sound problems Suse has been rock solid.
