If you, like me, decided to try using OSS instead of PulseAudio, be sure to disable it before following OP's guide.

Do this by commenting out the last line in: /etc/modprobe.d/dist-oss.conf

If you still need OSS for some hard-wired apps, the 2.6.32 kernel should include CUSE (Character devices in USEr space, built on top of FUSE), which in turn includes an instance of /dev/dsp (and related OSS devices) that connects directly to pulseaudio.

This will be a great improvement over padsp and aoss, neither of which work for all OSS apps under all conditions.

CUSE will also fix the annoying problem of us Palm/Treo owners who use apps expecting to see /dev/pilot, which is tough to map to today's dynamic USB serial ports.

Hey,

I followed all the steps you mentioned in the post and sound worked fine after that but when I finally shut down my computer, next time when i rebooted sound didn't work again. Can you please tell why is that .

Regards

Hey,

I am really very sorry for bothering you guys but sound is working fine. There was some headphone issue as far as I understood.

Thanks

Hey
here is the real drama, after performing the steps mentioned in the pulseAudio tutorial, things worked fine. Sound continues to work fine unless I open any video from youtube, this is where sound stops working. I think some problem with adobe flash player.

Regards

I followed this thread's instruction step by step . Finally, for the first time i heard sound. Thanks for this thread.

But after playing songs a problem occurred. I m using VLC player. when i played mp3 song or video song in VLC player, song start perfectly but after 1 min later song's audio speed decreasing automatically and lots of noise coming. Means if song is running on 3x (normal speed) speed after half min its audio decrease to 2x speed and after another half minute speed again decrease to 1x. I also tried rhythmbox music player but no luck same problem is occurring .

Is there an open source program to trim a flash video? I converted an video to an flv format, but i want to trim it. Is there an open source program that can do the job? or how can i do this. I want to upload this video to my website.

I have a problem with my HDMI audio coming out of my NVidia card. I attached the motherboard's SPDIF pin to the video card so audio travels through the HDMI connection. Everything works perfectly, except when I'm not playing any audio. For the times that no audio is playing, my screen blanks out for random amounts of time at random intervals. I can always get the screen to come back by simply triggering audio, like hitting the volume controls on my keyboard. I can't figure this one out for the life of me, and it's getting really frustrating. Any ideas?

Guide now available in PDF format, I initially made a minor misspelling in the PDF editing. (so, if you were one of the first 2 people to download it, I corrected it)

A big thanks to the community for all the support.

Greetings...!!!!

I like anyone else reading this post have no sound on my F11 machine using PulseAudio. I have gone through the tutorial step by step and have completed the process to the letter.

Watching my machine and using the utilities... everything seems to be working. "PulseAudio Volume meter" shows activity, applications show up on the tab in "Sound Preferences". Nothing seems to be out of order... just no sound out of the speakers.

My last OS [FC6] on this machine had sound operating without any problems.

What should I do next?

Thanks in advance!

Does this apply for Fedora 12 as well?

Anybody tried?

I've tried the posted parameter tweaks on F12. Note that in F12 the tsched=0 parameter should be added to module-udev-detect rather than module-hal-detect.

I think the glitches are now fewer.

The avidemux2 video editor still has brief audio gaps every 2-6 seconds, and the CPU is close on 100% even when the video is made tiny.

And mplayer has problems with both the alsa and pulse audio decoders: in alsa the stream can freeze, requiring one or more seeks to restart. While in pulse there is no freezing, but seeking is slower than alsa, and the audio turns to white noise on occasions. Overall, pulse is better for mplayer: Add line

Code:

ao = pulse

to ~/.mplayer/config.
