Sorry about the delay in checking this out. Unfortunately nothing worked. The only way I've succeeded in getting sound with Amarok is to exit to a prompt, run alsaconf, and reboot. It will work properly until I reboot again. I believe that something is happening in the /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start script to cause this.tazoc wrote:Jim, I looked at the Amarok configuration files, but couldn't find a solution there. I think the kernel module snd_hda_intel is used and you could try removing it in a terminal with 'rmmod snd_hda_intel' but I'm guessing that either won't help or will break all of your audio until you restart it with 'modprobe snd_hda_intel'.
If you succeeded in editing the phonondevicesrc file, why don't we make a copy of that working version, say phonondevicesrcFIXED, then use it to overwrite the original at startup by adding the following code to '/etc/rc.d/rc.local':If that doesn't take then KDE4 must be updating the file at logon so we could make a script in /Autostart with a delay. To do that just make a copy of another script like qps-tray, name it say 'fix-phonon', edit the contents like this:Code: Select all
cd /root/.kde/share/config/ cp -f phonondevicesrcFIXED phonondevicesrc
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh sleep 15 cd /root/.kde/share/config/ cp -f phonondevicesrcFIXED phonondevicesrc
Please don't spend any more time trying to help me solve this. Amarok is working.
Thanks,
Jim
