Pulseaudio, HDMI and KDE

First of all: I have a working setup, but somehow i think it is not as perfect as it could be.... On every reboot i see the following message (with journalctl): [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running
So first of all: this is what i did, to make it work:
I added the following on /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,7
and further:
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop
NotShowIn=KDE;
With those two changes, my audio is working fine (except the error message about the running daemon)
What should work, but for some reason not on my system:
I tried to remove the pulseaudio.desktop file completely and did not add the load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,7 line. With this setup, i can hear the sound under "systemsettings -> multimedia -> test". But when i open up a music file, it just wont play any sound.
Am i missing anything here???
Thanks,
tumas

I'm having the same issue.  As soon as I connect it to VGA or HDMI, it goes into a cycle of flashing on-and-off.  A guy on youtube had the same problem (posted a video identical to my problem) and reportedly fixed it with a firmware update.  
The problem: the US website doesn't have a firmware download.  The canadian website does, but the update is from 4/2009, and the manufactured date on the back of my TV is 5/2009.  (I also tried the update, but it didn't fix the problem).
When I call Toshiba to ask about the firmware update, after they confirm I am out of warranty, their automated system keeps hanging up on me.  So frustrating.

  • Linux 3.2 sound plays through HDMI and laptop speakers simultaneously

    As topic says, laptop speakers is not muted when activating sound through HDMI. Downgrading to 3.1 solves the problem. The laptop is an Asus UL30a.

    I am using Pulse Audio (and KDE). It's all correctly setup, it has been working for several months and it works if I downgrade kernel to 3.1, so it's a regression with the new kernel. Also, if any mods are reading this, maybe thread should be moved since 3.2 is out of testing.
    Edit: It's quite weird. If I go to KDE sound settings and change them around a couple of times, after a while it works like it should. There is no consistency in this and I have no idea how to troubleshoot
    Edit2: Could this be related? I know it's for Nvidia cards, but in the first comment he mentions hda_intel.chttps://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42567 I should probably have mentioned in the first post that my laptop is all Intel:

  • Weird line on the right edge of the screen with fglrx and KDE Plasma

    Hey there,
    I am using an AMD Radeon R9 280X with the fglrx driver for my 2-monitor setup: One 1366x768 monitor on the left side, one 1920x1080 monitor on the right side. My current DE is Plasma with KDE 5, but the bug also existed (though not as bad) with Cinnamon.
    Now to the problem: On the right edge of the screen is the 2-pixel-width vertical line currently in grey, which even exist in full-screen applications.
    On Cinnamon the situation is a little bit different: Here it only appears sometimes, but then it flashes frequently, though full-screen applications cover it.
    Interestingly I can hover my mouse pointer over it.
    Here are two screenshots: One with the whole line and one showing the above described.

    As a test I changed the resolution to 1400x1050 in the KDE menu, but the monitor reports it as 1680x1050. Though the bug still persists.

    I use the standard configuration of effects in KDE. But the bug persists even when I turn off compositing.
    There is a small difference in the bug between Cinnamon and KDE: First off the line has a smaller width in Cinnamon and full-screen applications covered it.
    Also it isn't an offset per se off the whole X screen, but instead only of the KDE/Cinnamon "workspace".  E.g. windows snap with the line, but behind the flickering you can still see the current window, e.g. when moved to the right.
    (Sorry for not answering for so long)
    EDIT: Also the flickering gets more extreme the smaller the reosultion was I changed to inbetween http://i.imgur.com/WQ4fkmf.jpg

  • Audio sync problem - simultaneous HDMI and analog output

    I'm currently running my audio out through my Geforce 460 via HDMI to my A/V receiver. I have a simultaneous stereo analog output running through my ASUS Xonar D2, using Pulseaudio & Amarok as the player (VLC-gstreamer backend).
    I use the HDMI and A/V receiver to power my main stereo in my living room, but on occasion when I want music around the house, I use the analog line out to send audio to an FM transmitter.
    The problem is, I'm running into audio sync problems. The audio starts out synchronised (at least to the naked ear) but within 20-30 seconds it is noticeably out of sync, with the analog audio (form my FM radio) running around a half second ahead of the HDMI output (my main speakers).
    So - where to begin finding where the sync problem is? The receiver? Conversions between 44Khz and 48Khz?
    Any help much appreciated - google-foo hasn't turned up anything obvious so far.

    Yeah - that was my thought - a very difficult, and probably insoluble problem as it stands. I can't just mute one of the devices as that would defeat the purpose of having multi-room music! Fortunately it's not too noticeable usually, as you can't usually hear the main stereo and the FM radios at the same time, unless you're standing in the right part of the house
    The analog splitter cable not really a goer, since running clean, crisp multi-channel HDMI with pass through when needed is the essential goal of the HTPC. So unless I was to switch inputs and or unplug cables...
    What I will end out doing, in the absence of a software solution, is hooking the FM transmitter directly to my receiver. I was going to just use the headphone-out jack of the receiver to feed audio to the FM transmitter, but the stoopid receiver can't output audio to external speakers at the same time as the headphone is plugged. To overcome this, I'll probably run a headphone amp off the receiver's RCA outputs, into the FM transmitter. Like this one: http://headamp.com/portable_amps/ae2/, or this one: http://www.amazon.com/Rolls-HA43-Headph … B00102ZOQC

  • [CLOSED] sound over hdmi and optical

    Ok I know sound of hdmi is a pain for everyone but I've have been all over the wiki and Google and have yet to get mine working! The weird thing is... sound works in XBMC. I got movies with 5.1 sound and 2.0 sound to work as well as music and everything else (except sound effects on menu selections but i can live with them) by setting the audio device to Optical/Coax, speaker config to 5.1, enabling DD AC3 capable and setting both audio ouput device and passthrough output device both to hdmi. However it ONLY works in XBMC. I'm trying to get some emulators working and it doesn't work in them. it doesn't work in an lxde environment either or when I run:
    speaker-test -c 6
    If I can just get sound working over hdmi I would be happy, If I can get it to work over hdmi and the optical out both that would be even better (although I have a feeling that'll just make things harder).
    Here's my soundcards listed  with "cat /proc/asound/modules"
    1 snd_hda_intel
    2 snd_hda_intel
    Here is my aplay -L ouput:

    I've been all over the alsa page of the wiki. When I tried the settings under https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … DIF_Output they were already correct.
    To anyone who's bothered to read all this ( I sorry it's so long I'm just trying to be thorough) Thank you!
    If anyone has any clue what I can try to fix this I would be forever grateful.
    Edit: Well it looks like all that messing around I did last night trying to fix things only made it worse. Now the sound in XBMC doesn't work either.

    Hi!
    I spent the day asking friend google, browsing the arch wiki, ubuntu wiki and xbmc wiki.
    Lastly, I made it work. I have to admit that I don't know why and don't actually understand a thing of what I did, it was trial and error. However, here is what I did:
    installed alsa-oss (probably irrelevant)
    set the audio output settings in xbmc to "Audio output"="Optical/Coax", "Audio output device"="Defaults" and "Passthrough output device"="hdmi".
    used the following as my .asoundrc
    pcm.dmixer {
    type dmix
    slave {
    pcm "hw:0,3"
    rate 44100
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 1
    That's it. In case you are a sound guru willing to share your wisdom or else trying to make it work like I did, you might want some more info. Here you go.

  • HDMI and PC inputs do not work on my 37AV502R LCD TV

    HDMI inputs and PC inputs do not work consistently
    my Apple TV (HDMI) and computers 2 on HDMI, 1 on PC, display just fine n the TV but after a while the TV goes blank,
    the time is not consistent sometime a few minutes, sometimes a few hours,
    but every time, after the TV goes blank there is nothing I can do, the TV just stays blank, if I unplug and turn back on the TV displays the image for a split second and goes bank again,
    I thought it might be an overheating thing, however sometimes the PC input will stop working but the HDMI input (either one) will work fine,
    has anyone else had this issue?
    Thanks

  • [solved] Issue with conky and Kde 4

    I have a small issue with conky and KDE 4.2. I start conky with a script which I stored under ~/.kde/Autostart. The script is simple and looks like this..
    conky -c ~/.conkyrc_kde4
    This works fine. But when I restart the first KDE and check with ps, I have 2 instances of conky running. The instances keep on growing with the number of restarts.
    I think kde tries to restart all the apps which were running when the session was terminated. Is there a way to change this behavior in general or all the programs or for only a specific program like conky ?

  • How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?

    How do I connect my MacBook Pro to an LCD TV (with HDMI and S-Video ports)?  I assume I would need to use the DVI to Video adapter that came with my computer to connect to my LCD tv.  I'm just not sure which port I should use on the TV.  The HDMI port is being used for digital cable.
    Also, does anyone know if this can be done wirelessly? 

    For a 2010+ MBP you can connect with a Displayport to HDMI, which will include Audio.
    With older MBP you will need a displayport to HDMI, if you want audio to the actually TV, then you will need to get a cable with either digital out from MBP to the HDMI, or USB audio mixed into the HDMI

  • How do I set MacBook to an external display when the plug and play doesn't recognize it?  I am trying to set my Samsung 530 LCD as a monitor but HDMI and VGA cords (and the adaptor for them) doesn't seem to work.

    I have tried everything I can find on line but they all claim that the plug and play works, and they don't for me.  I tried the mini dvi to HDMI and a HDMI cord and that was not recognized no matter which unit I rebooted first.  I found someone who said that my Macbook might be too old for the HDMI technology so I returned the cords and went to the VGA cord and adaptor.
    I tried this first with the HDMI setup:

    I contacted Samsung support and they said I needed to set the display settings to external display on the mac.  I went to the display settings and moved the icon to my status bar.  When I click on search for displays or whatever it says (I'm not at my Mac right now) it does nothing.
    What am I missing?

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?

  • HDMI and DVI port not working on 880GMA-E35

    Hello,
    I want to use the HDMI port of my 880GMA-35, but the monitor is not getting a signal. I know that the board has two jumpers to switch between the DVI and the HDMI port. In the delivery state the jumper is set to HDMI, but I don't get a signal. There is also no signal, if I switch the jumper to the DVI pins. I have tested this setup which different cables (HDMI and DVI) and two different monitors.
    After this test I get a guarantee replacement of the board. The new board is also not working with HDMI or DVI. The VGA port of the first board was working as supposed and I don't see any Bios settings to activate the monitor ports.
    Are there any suggestions to solve my problem?
    Thanks in advance and kindly regards

    When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via the minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

    Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
    The solution was as follows for me anyway...
    Go to your Finder
    Choose the Go Menu
    Choose Computer
    Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
    Choose your "Library" Folder
    Choose the "Preferences" Folder
    There should be a folder called "Audio"
    Move that whole folder to the trash
    Empty the Trash
    Restart from the Apple Menu
    When you are back up and running;
         Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
         Choose Sound
          In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
          Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

It's a mix I don't like. Either I run Gnome or KDE.
    Is there a way to stop the Gnome menus scanning the KDE apps and the KDE menus to stop scanning the Gnome apps?
    Besides that, when I'm in Gnome and open a nautilus bookmark from the "Places" menu, Konquerer starts up happily and makes me think, "What a mess. Is this the way it's supposed to work?"
    If I want to run Gnome only and KDE only, do I need to make a dual boot with two separate Arch installations?

    The menu "problem" is due to both desktops using the standard menu item location (Freedesktop.org, I believe defines this).  If you want completely separate, you don't have to dual boot with two separate Arch installs, just create a new user and make a shared data location that your KDE and Gnome user can access.  For example:
    /home/thunderogg could be thunderogg, your Gnome user
    /home/kthunderogg could be kthunderogg, your KDE user
    Create a new /home/shared folder with permissions for both users and save your documents there.  That's the only way that I know of to have both installed and not have a menu mess.

  • Wine and KDE shortcuts

    Using the Window-Specific workarounds I'm able to disable KDE global shortcuts.  For example, in Diablo 2, ALT-F2 does not bring up the run dialog.  GREAT!
    My problem is that there are occasions that I want my full-screen wine application to loose focus or minimize; for example to make a Skype call.  When someone calls me the Skype dialog and KDE taskbar pop to the front allowing me to minimize my wine application.  However, I have no way of making a call without exiting the application.
    I'm kind of at a loss here.  I don't want to disable the KDE global shortcuts but I'd like some way of minimizing the full-screen wine application.  Does anyone have a creative suggestion?

    Very cool idea!  Google found me this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … b&t=634067
    This is way simpler than I thought it'd be.  Thanks.
