Re: sound stopped and now working. what happened?
Hello Mitchell!
If your problem couldn't be solved by Johann's script, then it really is a
misconfiguration of PulseAudio. Don't go looking for ALSA. As far as I know,
there might still be the alsaconf script somewhere. But it usually should just
work. I can't really say today, because I always compile my own kernel and
have as much as possible built-in.
The speaker-test you refer to seems to be a pure ALSA application. So there
killing programs, that still use ALSA devices should help. Still it won't
probably get your the sound back on KDE. I'm not sure where PulseAudio is
configured. Perhaps you might have a look at Firefox's config options (does it
have a menu for that?) or the necessary plugin config dialogue, or whatever it
has. Perhaps it uses a strange configuration, which forces the basic
PulseAudio settings to be changed. All I can say - from second hand experience
- is, that PulseAudio has been an issue of flaring temperaments on the
Linux-Audio-User's list a couple of times. I seem to remember, that the
consensus was: If it only were possible with KDE, you should remove it as
cleanly, distinctly and terminally as possible. :-) Unfortunately KDE relies
on it, as GNOME relies on ESD (if I didn't mix up anything).
As for all the programs you mentioned: No idea, what they are. :-)
Warmly yours
Julien
