2012-10-01 16:39:03 Daniel Manrique description I ran the audio test of checkbox on my dell inspiron 1525 (no headsets or speakers connected).

[Impact] The following problem happens on systems that don't have gconf gstreamer elements (or they don't work because the desktop environment doesn't use gconf): "I ran the audio test of checkbox on my dell inspiron 1525 (no headsets or speakers connected). When testing the internal speakers of my laptop no sound could be heard at maximum volume. Usually I can hear system sounds, music, ... etc." This is fixed in development by replacing the gnome-centric (and deprecated, since gnome has moved on to using gsettings) gconfaudio{sink,source} by the more generic autoaudio{sink,source}. These are better at detecing the underlying elements and enable checkbox audio tests to be run on non-gnome desktops. [Test case] - Either remove gstreamer0.10-gconf package to mimic a Kubuntu system, or install Kubuntu (a virtual machine works fine). - Ensure gstreamer gconf elements are not present; this command should fail with "no element gconfaudiosink": gst-launch-0.10 "audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink" - Run checkbox - Select only the audio tests. Expected result: - Tests produce audio Actual result: - Tests don't produce audio - Some traceback may be visible in the .cache/checkbox/checkbox.log file. [Regression potential] autoaudio elements use an autodetect library that's part of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, so as long as this is installed, it should work for any user. Conceivably, a very heavily modified and tweaked installation may "fool" the autoaudio element into selecting the wrong audio source, but this is highly unlikely. In extensive tests done in the certification lab, these changes have proven to be very reliable.
