[arch-general] Problem with sound under vmware server
by Alastair Irving 19 Jul '09

19 Jul '09

Hi I've been running arch as a virtual machine using vmware server for a few months now without problems. However, I upgraded all packages yesterday, and now I know longer have any sound. According to lspci the soundcard is an Ensoniq ES1371, and according to lsmod the snd-ens1371 module is loaded. If I do speaker-test then it seems to work, it plays a static hissing sound, but it repeatedly gives the error Write error: -32, broken pipe If I aplay a wav file, then no sound is played, and I get the error underrun!!! (at least 1829490232.202 ms long) underrun!!! (at least 1829490234.191 ms long) I've tried running alsaconf, and this seems to run successfuly, but sound still doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this? Many thanks Alastair Irving

Holy hell this is out of control. Here's the two sides, boiled down: * Use an automatic sed to prevent people from complaining * Post a news item and let people do it manually. As we can tell from this thread, people are going to bitch either way - making the 'no bitching' argument a little moot. Personally, I am against this but I can see it simplifying this process, so I understand why people would want this. My biggest fear is that it goes downhill from here. 'We did it for the tty change' will be used to justify more and more. It's a slippery slope. Sometimes these things happen where you need to be slightly inconvienanced in order to protect yourself from falling into a trap like this. However, I must point out: odds are most people don't touch inittab, so the upgrade will do things as expected and the sed line will only do work a small subset of end users. And to be clear, I definitely do not like the pandering to users thing... if people whining about stupid shit gets on your nerves, stop visiting the forums and IRC. It worked for me! ( google 'eternal september' for kicks :). Pyther, I like your sentiment.
