Suddenly No Sound in Mandriva 2008 Powerpack Gnome

libpulseaudio0 was installed by default with Mandriva 2008. It is a shared library needed by pulseaudio based applications, but there were no pulseaudio based applications installed by default.

 

I'm sorry manmath sahu, but since you've reformatted your HDD, I don't believe that we'll ever know what happened to your sound.

It's everything OK for now. I am enjoying computing on top of Mandriva.

 

sorry to drag your attention.

 

the same problem started again - whenever i do "alsactl restore" the sound comes back. but on reboot the problem of "no sound" comes again. so i have to do "alsactl restore" each time after booting my notebook.

 

please find a fix.

alsa daemon is running at startup. i had did that "alsactl restore", is "alsactl store" different?

 

do you mean on facing no sound issues i have to first do "alsactl restore" followed by "alsactl store"?

 

please clarify.

 

thanks a ton for your reply.

"alsa daemon is running at startup" OK, run ESD, this is sound server for Gnome.

"alsactl restore" - this is restore setup all devices in your sound card

"alsactl store" - use only if all devices working OK, no problem.

 

alsactl restore is always running during start system.

You should only have to run 'alsactl store' once: After you have adjusted everything and have working sound, then (as root) run

alsactl store

Then 'alsactl restore' will (should) be automatically run at each boot by your system.

Thanks Greg, your trick worked.
