PostPosted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 11:05 am    Post subject: Sound problems (solved) Reply with quote

Hi

I'm having problems with the sound on my machine. Some applications work ok - sounds generated by kde , Dragon player, Juk - no problems.

However, vlc and Flash do not produce any sound. When I try mplayer I get the following message :

[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

I have tried restarting alsasound - this has no effect.

If I try alsamixer, I get the following error :

alsamixer: symbol lookup error: alsamixer: undefined symbol: set_escdelay

Then, in the console, text stops appearing when I type on my keyboard. Very strange.

Here is the output of emerge --info

Code:

I'm using the following version of alsa-utils : media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.22-r1

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Lee

I downgraded alsa-utils back to media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.20-r5 - that fixed it.

I also had the same problem (no sound in flash) with alsa-utils-1.0.22-r1. Downgrade to alsa-utils-1.0.20-r5 solved the problem.

Excuse my ignorance but how do I stop portage from trying to upgrade it once I've downgraded it?

I put it in package.mask but portage is still trying to upgrade.

Thanks, Ian
