Problem with Pulse Audio module.
« on: January 22, 2010, 10:08:07 AM »
My computer is an AMD Phenom 4X II 965
4 Megs RAM
Sound card VIA® VT1708S (on ASUS motherboard)
Running fully updated PCLOS with KDE4
This is a fresh install done yesterday.

When I boot, I'm getting error messages as below:

Code: [Select]
Boot info from /var/log/messages:

module.c: Failed to open module "module-udev-detect": file not found
main.c: Module load failed.
main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
main.c: Daemon startup failed.
module.c: Failed to open module "module-udev-detect": file not found
main.c: Module load failed.
main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
main.c: Daemon startup failed.

If I try run pulseaudio from a konsole terminal I see this:

Code: [Select]
[jim@localhost ~]$ pulseaudio
E: module.c: Failed to open module "module-udev-detect": file not found
E: main.c: Module load failed.
E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.

I looked for module-udev-detect and see that this module exists!

Code: [Select]
[jim@localhost ~]$ locate module-udev-detect
/usr/lib/pulse-0.9.21/modules/module-udev-detect.so

I tried installing the module manually using modprobe and this happened:

Code: [Select]
[root@localhost jim]# modprobe module-udev-detect
FATAL: Module module_udev_detect not found.

I've searched the forum and can't seem to find any more info on this.  Does anyone have any Idea why this is happening or how I can get that module installed?

My audio does work, I hear the start up and shutdown music in KDE4.  XMMS also works, so I guess ALSA is runinng.

I just saw the "pulse audio not working, switching to ALSA" message when booting up today. I didn't use Pulse on my old motherboard either.... Sound working fine with ALSA.


Here's a couple of previous msgs on Pulse Audio:
