Maya - No sound after login with new graphics card
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 9:43 am
Hello.
I hear the login beep and the welcome sound just right after login, but then my sound systems malfunctions.
Each sound-related application (VLC player, Banshee, ...., Adobe Flash plugin) crashes or freezes.
In particular, I can not start the "Sound" menu in my control center. It crashes silently.
I suppose the error comes from a recent hardware change. I recently exchanged my old Nvidia graphics for a Sapphire HD 7750.
First I had the typical "AMD unsupported hardware" watermark, which vanished after I installed the post-release driver.
Maybe it is related to the new graphics card being HDMI. It seems to have its own audio device (??):
I just noted that in fact, the post-release driver for my graphic cards isn't even in use.
"This driver is activated but currently not in use."
