Soundserver Phonon without Sound, takes only Dummy-Driver

[EgLe]

Hello,

i have tested Kubuntu 12.04, and they give no Sound.

Sounddriver are Corect loaded by Kernel:

[code]egle@Core2Quad:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xe3320000 irq 45
[/code]

And test with soundfile is so:

[code]egle@Core2Quad:~$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Wiedergabe: WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate: 48000 Hz, mono
egle@Core2Quad:~$
[/code]

If i loades Alsamixer ist right, but in the Systemsettings is only avaible the Dummy driver, also in Kmix....

Maby, thre is an interupt with IQ-Port?

[code]e@Core2Quadsudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*
[sudo] password for egle:
Angegebener Dateiname /dev/dsp* existiert nicht.
                     BEN. PID ZUGR. BEFEHL
/dev/snd/controlC0: roard 2002 F.... roard
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: roard 2002 F...m roard
/dev/snd/timer: roard 2002 f.... roard
egle@Core2Quad:~$
[/code]

In Kubuntu 11.10 and 11.04 is noch Problem with the Sounds :-(

PS. sory for my "terrible" english...

Hello,

after update and new start i get this screen in my systemsettings (see attachment)

This is a configuration error.

It can be caused by several factors:
 1. You do not have drivers loaded for your sound card (cat /proc/asound/cards)
 2. Your user does not have permission to use the sound card (getfacl /dev/snd/pcm* and make sure your user is listed in the ACL).
 3. Some other application is running and has opened the sound card exclusively preventing the audio server from opening it, thus making it present just a dummy output (sudo lsof | grep -E "(/dev/dsp|/dev/snd/pcm)")

Either way, it is certainly not a phonon bug.
