No output sound [pulseaudio]

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I was about to start a new thread about this, as I too have the issue. Strangely, it doesn't occur on my Asus laptop, only on my main machine. Every time I boot the computer, the mixer in XFCE has the volume set to zero and it set to mute, so I have to adjust the volume and deselect mute. This occurs regardless of whether I select pulseaudio or ALSA as the playback option. Pumpino https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=49566 2012-12-27T04:01:53Z (HowTos)

With pulseaudio, setting my output volume below 16% makes it completely mute.Any idea where I should look, or perhaps even how to fix this?Thanks!

Hi there,Is it possible to start pulseaudio muted, and to mute it before it's disabled, so that the static cannot be heard? The sound is rather jarring to the ears when you have headphones on!JH

Hi. I wrote some time ago about my problems with sound in PulseAudio. I decited to remove it, and use only ALSA like I was few months ago (I think). Currently in alsamixer I have only "PulseAudio" master volume, before that I had more sliders. But... how to remove PulseAudio? Pacman says, that gnome-settings-daemon depends on pulseaudio. How can I disable it?

Alsamixer doesn't come up with an option to change the volume, the site says that it has limited compatibility with my sound card, and suggested I use PulseAudio. All I need to be able to do is change the volume, it's stuck on 152% - see ncmpcpp.

I'm aware that this is part of how PA works, I wanted to know if anyone knows how to make it work just like ALSA without PA, where the individual app volume sliders do not alter the master volume if they get any higher than it.I'm using KMix under KDE 4.10.And ditching PulseAudio is not an option.PS: English is not my first language and I'm sleepy, let me know if you need me to reph

pulseaudio + alsa? 41 weeks 5 days ago

Pulseaudio-alsa is basically a config file to make programs outputting to ALSA use pulseaudio instead. So having pulseaudio-alsa without pulseaudio does not make much sense
