Hi All,
Just installed 6.4 on a system that might become a Myth Backend. Where's the normal sound icon gone that usually appears in Gnome? I can see the intel sound card driver is loaded. Which bits of alsa should be there? This is what I've got:-
rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsamixergui-0.9.0-0.9.rc2.el6.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.0.22-5.el6.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.22-3.el6.x86_64
Under System | Preferences Selecting the "Sound" icon gives a dialog box that says "Waiting for Sound System to respond" and the sound system never does respond.
I bet I've got a zoo of stuff missing....
Any pointers most welcome
Thanks
Ken
Do you have pulseaudio installed?
Also you can install padevchooser, Pulse Audio Device Chooser.
You were on the right track after all. I have a VM of 6.0 where the sound icon appears in the notification area. Installing the missing bits of pulseaudio compared with the VM, made the applet appear. As follows:-
