What is amixer looking for that it does not find? Do I need to make a file, or give access to a directory? Please help. BTW - I installed all sound components for RH9, but it did not have the ALSA sound driver installed nor did it have the ALSA sound utilities. What does RH use for sound, and who knows how to use sound in RH9? Why does sound configuration and use seem so complicated in Linux? kite10linux View Public Profile View LQ Blog View Review Entries View HCL Entries Find More Posts by kite10linux 07-22-2005, 12:29 PM #2 darkleaf Senior Member Registered: Jun 2004 Location: the Netherlands Distribution: debian SID Posts: 2,170 Rep: Does

Does PulseAudio run on top of ALSA? Should I get rid of ALSA first? ALSA is a sound server, right? So is PulseAudio... As you can tell I'm somewhat confused. Anyway right now I seem to have both - except neither seems to be working :-\ /etc/asound.conf contains: pcm.pulse { type no such file pulse } ctl.pulse { type pulse } pulseaudio is indeed running. However, trying "amixer -Dpulse" results in ALSA lib control.c:874:(snd_ctl_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib64/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so amixer: Mixer attach pulse error: No such file or directory` I checked and the file is indeed not there. I do however have /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so Playing a song in VLC will make the stream show up in pavucontrol, but no audio will make its way to my speakers... I am in groups pulse and pulse-access (not entirely sure what they're for, but figured they can't hurt), and have followed the guide http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup to the letter. Update: Oddly enough, when I delete /etc/asound.conf, audio streams still show up in pavucontrol... so... is pulseaudio actually running? Am I using it? How can I tell? alsa pulse-audio share|improve this question edited Dec 5 '11 at 15:36 Tom Wijsman 45.7k19143227 asked Jan 5 '10 at 5:56 Mala 2,11382330 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted Here's a straight answer: PulseAudio is a sound server; ALSA is a kernel sound subsystem. They do different things -- ALSA provides chipset drivers for your soundcard or onboard sound chip; PulseAudio routes sound between programs, sound chips, and even systems. PulseAudio is a sound server for POSIX systems. A sound server is basically a proxy for your sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations o
