Configured audiosink bin0 is not working [SOLVED]

[zeating]

Ok so, i uninstalled pulse audio completely and started using alsa. everything works great except in Rhythmbox i can't play anything, just gives me the error "Configured audiosink bin0 is not working" I have the gstreamer-alsa plugin so i don't know whats wrong

"Playback error encountered! Configured audiosink bin0 is not working"

If you're getting a message like this, or "Configured audiosink bin1 is not working" (or with another number after 'bin'), it may be because Flash is blocking the use of ALSA by Exaile. You can fix this by running

Code: Select all

killall npviewer.bin

In certain cases (such as if a YouTube video has finished playing), Flash may be blocking the use of ALSA even if an 'npviewer.bin' process is not running. In that case, refreshing the offending page while using a Flash blocking browser extension should fix the problem.

Saw that, theres no process running called npviewer.bin though

[mads]

Have you tried this?

Code: Select all

gstreamer-properties

[zeating]

Yes, it's set on alsa. also, i just did something random and now VLC doesn't have sound anymore..

[mads]

This is my last suggestion. Have you checked Configuration Editor ($ gconf-editor) > /system/gstreamer/0.10/default. The Value of "audiosink" and "musicaudiosink" should generally be OK if "autoaudiosink", but you could try to change both to "alsasink".

Well i just uninstalled alsa, pulseaudio, and oss related things. Now i have no sound

In one single click?

[zeating]

deleted every package and such, i reinstalled every alsa package and all i get is GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem

Did you use Synaptic or Terminal? I hope you used Synaptic.

Also, i just did

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-`uname -r`

and

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel

but the sound is extremely quiet and i can't turn it up

[mads]

The s/pdif outputs are muted in alsa by default.

[zeating]

they are stuck at 0 and i cant do anything?
edit: nvm, works now. and rhythmbox works now too! don't know how.. oh well..thanks a lot!!

[mads]

Well done! I am almost as happy as you are.
Please mark the thread as [SOLVED].

[zeating]

I need to reopen this for awhile..everything is fine except every time i reboot i have no sound, i keep having to manually do

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel

and then it works. How can I make it automatically do it when I startup??

EDIT: Ok, i added

Code: Select all

snd-hda-intel

to /etc/modules and rebooted and it works fine!
