GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 331960
Sound does not work when esd is running
Last modified: 2006-03-15 20:47:24 UTC
Ekiga reports that the sound device does not work because it is busy or does not support full-duplex use. When this error is present, video connectivity works properly, but sound does not work. When the esd daemon is killed, Ekiga no longer reports this error, and sound works correctly.
Ekiga doesn't support ESD. It only suspends it. Are you running the GNOME version of Ekiga or some GTK-only version?
I'm running the Gnome version. Can you recommend a course of action to verify that the esd suspend function isn't working correctly? I'm not clear how this works... Is there another explanation for why killing esd would fix the sound issue?
Use : esdctl standbymode My only explanation is that we suspend it but it gets ignored for some reason. I have this when I run Ekiga: damien@golgoth01:~/CVS/ekiga$ esdctl standbymode server is running Then during a call: damien@golgoth01:~/CVS/ekiga$ esdctl standbymode server is on standby Then when the call ends: damien@golgoth01:~/CVS/ekiga$ esdctl standbymode server is running
Roy?
This is very likely to be a dupe of bug 330586.
Indeed, marking as a DUP. Thanks Lucas! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 330586 ***
