 |
|
I've had Gentoo installed for quite a while and I've gotten alot of my things working the way I want them now so it's time to clean up the things that just tend to bug the ever living stuffing out of me... My first obstacle to tackle is the Default Gnome sounds...
I have Gnome 2.14 installed and hald and dbus running as well it all works well (Even have the Novell SLAB Menu and it's great)... I've got ALSA and all the drivers I needed for the AC97 Sound on the Mobo and I have sound in Gnome and X but the startup sounds and default sounds for gnome just don't work... Is there any way I can figure out what's going on or simply to get them working... Not that they are fantastical or anything but getting them working would be an accomplishment...

Did that and setup the properties using gnome-sound-properties and still no default sounds either that or I just don't know what I've done wrong... Hmmm... I'll keep checking... Thanx for the reply...

EDIT: Just further info when I run gnome-sound-properties and setup the sounds with the default I try and click on the Play button next to the sounds and hear nothing... |

| If you've checked 'Enable software sound mixing' in the dialog, have you emerged esd and is it running? |

Here's how I fixed this problem.
First I checked that esd was working on my system, independent of GNOME settings. At the console, try playing a wav file:
If that works but you're still not getting sound in GNOME, try emerging libgnome with USE="esd". That ought to do the trick, assuming you have emerged esound and gnome-audio.
One interesting thing I noticed was that "Enable sound server startup" only shows up in sound preferences when libgnome is emerged without USE="esd". When you emerge it with the esd USE flag then that message changes to "Enable software sound mixing (ESD)". Mind-boggling.
BTW, there's no need to start /etc/init.d/esound if all you want to do is play sounds locally.
Hope this helps. |
