GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 480742
ALSA sound architecture does not work
Last modified: 2008-01-10 15:45:27 UTC
I am working off a Toshiba satellite with Ubuntu 7.10a. The forums all point to problems with sound and Toshiba laptops. Still, when I go to sound preferences and seek to test the ALSA architecture for 'Audio Conferencing' Sound Capture, I receive the following: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed. Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer. Sound playback gives: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed. Music and Movies-Sound Playback gives: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed. Sound events-sound playback gives: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed.
This is most likely a configuration problem (the error message is just very bad and not the proper one that you should be seeing). Go to System => Preferences => Sound and choose a different sound output method or install the esd sound daemon. Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 471364 ***
