LMDE '12 regression => No audio/sound/volume control
Posted: Thu May 03, 2012 1:15 pm
I recently upgraded my LMDE machine to the newest version and I didn't do anything about the 121 obsolete packages which seem to be normal on Mint machines. I also installed the XFCE desktop since the other default desktop is just ridiculous.
Now I don't have any mixer program left.
There's no sounds configuration anymore (system sounds etc.)
There's no audio configuration tool (default cards etc.)
There's no way of configuring the mixer which is linked to my volume buttons and AVRCP.
The only audio I can get is by using programs like VLC which allow me to circumvent Pulseaudio and let me select which channel actually works.
Tips like pavucontrol or the rather similar 'gnome-control-center sound' started from CLI of course, only show "Internal Audio; 1 in / 1 out; Duplex" which isn't physically linked to any of my three onboard Ac'97, nor any of my six Creative SB channels. Or any channel from my TV card or CCTV card.
My problems seem rather similar to this 4 year old bug and I refuse to believe I'm going to have to manually look up which card I want to use and put it in /etc/pulse/client.conf or any of the ~/.pulse/ jungle files.
I've never had any of these problems before the upgrade.
Is Pulseaudio new on LMDE?
Isn't there any GUI way of configuring Pulseaudio?
