Lucky you

 

I had my audio working, but it keeps turning off, even if I do nothing.

 

Sometimes, if I give it a good old fashioned restart, it will work

 

I do here the start up music and amaroK 1.3 works.

 

But no streaming radio or Java sound.

 

I tried to install xine and all of its plugins, but that might have been when the sound crashed.

 

I noticed xmms also needs plugins, I will press my luck and see what happens.

where did my sound go!!!!!!!!!

 

It was working.

 

The last thing I was doing was trying to rename a folder

 

cd to that folder

 

mv badfoldername

 

this was a folder that i created with a few downloads.

 

there should not have been anything linked to this folder.

 

It killed my iNTERNET audio

 

Still can hear Amarok 1.3 and startup music, but no Internet audio.

 

What happened?

 

I don't even know where to start

 

I did change KDE audio configuration back and forth and restarted several times.

 

But still no sound

An idea often suggested is to open KDE Control Centre (assuming here that you are using KDE). Click on Sound and Multimedia and then Sound System.

In General make sure there is a check mark in Enable sound System.

Then lower down change the Audio idle value to 1.

This is the part that seems most often to do the trick.

In Hardware make certain there is a check mark in Full Duplex.

 

Hope it helps.

 

Cheers. John.

Yes it did help.

 

I knew about the KDE setting at Audio idle at 1.

 

But not the Full Duplex check mark in Hardware.

 

That was the magic button.

 

Thanks
