| I have been having two problems getting sound to work on my system.
|
| The first problem involves only KDE apps. I can get sound in KDE,
| because I can get sounds from user actions such as maximizing windows,
| clicking on things, etc. However, I cannot play MP3s. Whenever I try
| to play an MP3 using a KDE application in KDE, I get a SIGABRT crash,
| with the crash text that is at the bottom of this message.
|
| This problem playing MP3s is limited to KDE apps. I can play MP3s fine
| inside GNOME using GNOME apps. I can also play MP3s fine if I am using
| X apps in KDE, or even if I am using a GNOME app inside KDE. But I
| cannot play MP3s on a KDE app in GNOME--the application won't even
| launch.
|
| KDE's problem with MP3s extends beyond trying to play MP3s. If I even
| click on an MP3 on my desktop, my whole screen turns black for a
| second, and then is restored to normal. If I open a Konqueror folder
| full of MP3s, I get a SIGABRT. This happens even if I do not attempt
| to open any of the files in the Konqueror window.
|
| My other problem extends to both KDE and GNOME: my master volume
| slider has no effect on my volume. If I open the mixer and adjust the
| individual components, that works fine. But the master volume has no
| effect whatsoever.
|
| So far, here is what I have tried:
| * using OSS drivers and Alsa drivers
| * using sound servers, such as jackd and esd
| * turning the built-in sound system in the KDE control panel off and on
|
| None of these changes have had any effect.
|
| My setup: Debian 3.1 (testing Sarge); KDE 3.3.2; Intel AC97 i810
| integrated PCI sound.
|
| Thanks for any help.

Hi Omari,
1. Are you using alsa? If not you might want to install it.
2. In KDE go to Kcontrol -> Sound & Multimedia -> Sound System ->
Hardware. What is your audio device set to?
Cheers,
Jonathan
