Installed mythtv-0.22-2.fc11 on F11 today and sound works well there. So it might be a pulseaudio bug, or just that what mythtvfrontend does with pulseaudio can't work in F12. I wonder why it needs to suspend pulseaudio (if it is what it actually does) and if sound can actually work with suspended pa. Upgraded from F11 to F12 today, I also have no audio when mythfrontend is running. 2009-12-09 23:27:48.250 mythfrontend version: tags/release-0-22 [0.22] www.mythtv.org 2009-12-09 23:27:48.338 AudioPulseUtil: Suspend Success My "Audio output device" is ALSA:default "Passthrough output device" is Default "Mixer Device" is ALSA:default You know how to find me on IRC if you need info or testing. I was hoping that installing the F11 packages that were working for me on F11 would make a difference, installing them on my F12 system reproduced the bug. Appears to me this is not a packaging issue but an upstream bug either PulseAudio, MythTV or Other? Jarod, Any idea when you might get time to look at this? Starting to get frustrated having to run F11 just so mythfrontend works. Possibly over the winter break (I have Dec 24 - Jan 3 off), but I wouldn't count on it. Too many other higher priority things going on right now. Also not helped by the fact my own F12 frontend has no problems at all with sound, because I simply remove pulseaudio (its never behaved well with raw digital audio pass-through for me), and I really don't know or care to know much of anything about pulseaudio... Does starting mythfrontend like so help?: EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1 mythfrontend That works well (in the 30 seconds testing I've done so far). Using the above command results look good here. Testing with no other audio apps, Works. Testing with other audio app running already, Works. Testing system sounds with mythfrontend running, Works. -- Bob Unfortunately this problem on F12 is back with mythtv 0.23, EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1 doesn't help any longer, mythtv is mute. Tried ALSA:default with that env var, PulseAudio:default etc. Actually, after a few alsaunmute calls, sticking with PulseAudio:default and dropping the env var things now work. Sorry for the noise.

Sorry for the noise. > Jakub, moved to F13 here after a few months of not using my myth gear, again my audio is muted. Any reasonable suggestions available? I've run myth0.22 on F12 and 0.23 on F13. I've found that if ALSA:default will not produce sound then I use ALSA:front. I also just checked and I am using the PCM Mixer with ALSA:front. Don't know if this helps in this case or not. Also can't remember the details now but my ALSA would start up muted because the settings for front were muted in the default settings file. Once I changed this I've had no sound issues with myth. Do we still have audio issues? I've got both RHEL6 and Fedora 15 systems that have sound, but I believe that's with the pulse alsa plugin removed, and using alsa natively (for hdmi digital audio out). RPMFusion is no longer releasing updates for this version of Fedora. This bug will be set to RESOLVED:EXPIRED next week to reflect this. If the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora, please update the version field of this bug (and re-open it if it has been closed). Setting to RESOLVED:EXPIRED since RPMFusion is no longer releasing updates for this version of Fedora. |
