Pulseaudio?

[headlite]

How to run pulseaudio? PCLOS 2010. I enabled it on the control center but it goes back to unchecked. I tried installing package "pulseaudio" and running pulseaudio manually, the output is:

E: main.c: Daemon startup without any loaded modules, refusing to work.

I don't like pulseaudio but I need it for 5.1 sound. Yes, I've tried messing with the alsamixer controls and nothing. rear speakers stay quiet. This is on sound card using alsa driver emu10k1.

on most soundcards rear speakers will stay silent unless you set a specific app to use the other channels or a app can reroute stereo signal to those speakers but it is just duplicating audio from from speakers, this is the way most home theaters(nit htpc) and many sound cards on windows works

specifically audio players and dvd players

each app manages this differently

about the driver, is it a creative soundcard?  emu10k1 is used for older soundcards, live24bit or similar

in the mixer window, kmix all you need to do is set the volume level to high on all the channels and handle pcm and master channels

[headlite]

Yes, it is a soundblaster live 5.1. The configuration for the app being used is mplayer and it works on another distro when pulseaudio is active. I've already tried setting all volumes to max in kmixer/alsamixer and nothing outputs anything to the rear channels.

Hi, check in /etc for a pulseaudio config folder/file,   if it exists,
a line like this might help

default-sample-channels = 6

the default is probably 2, as in standard stereo.
Good luck!

/etc/pulse/daemon.conf That's already set to 6 channels. But I don't think that matters anyway since pulseaudio doesn't want to run. I think the alsa module for it is not packaged?

have you tried with other apps like vlc, smplayer and xine?

I have installed through synaptic pulseaudio, pavucontrol and padevchooser, once installed I only have the pulseaudio option, right now it doesn't work only when viewing videos on firefox, the stream do not show up in pavucontrol

Same here. No audio at all on a Samsung Q1 Tablet PC since installing 2010

PulseAudio is working correctly here and this is the output .....

Code: [Select]

$ pulseaudio
E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
Make sure that these instructions are followed

Is it the same for all users?

Did you try with a Test user account?

[daniel]

When no module is loaded, so we can loaded for a guest user?

Wich conf file must be edit, to load a module?
And what must added in a conf file?

Thanks for helping...

Ticking "Enable Pulse Audio" in PCC - Hardware - Sound  and immediately rebooting, should get it working. Do check that the 'tick' is still present .....  Tex posts what should be done if not.

I did not have to edit any config files on this install.

I did have to install lots of packages to ensure that the apps I used had their Pulse plugins.

The various config files are listed in Tex's post.
If you wish to compare yours with mine just let me know.

regards.
