kmix crash after adding tv card
|
|
|
latest (in a long line) of audio problems...
Slackware 10.0, using ALSA, kmix *was* running fine with my Ensoniq PCI
card, until I added a Hauppage WinTV card to the system. Then things got
a little screwy; running alsaconf only detects my Ensoniq card, but
applications seem to see it as card 1 with the TV card being card 0.
kmix just crashes on launch with a 'kmix is crashing' error, which isn't
too helpful. I expect it's got some cached info *somewhere* and isn't
happy about things after the TV card was fitted. Anyone know where such a
cache is and whether I can delete it so kmix will work things out
itself when next launched?
FYI, kmix --version gives:
Qt: 3.3.2
KDE: 3.2.3
KMix: 2.0.1
Failing that theory, anyone know what might be wrong? :-)
cheers

Can you run alsamixer from a terminal without problems? Tr y and |
remove .kde/share/config/kmix*. After running kmix they will all
be re-created.

Yep, no problem running alsamixer (under any account) except that I now
have to pass '-c 1' for it to find the Ensoniq card; otherwise it now
finds the WinTV Brooktree Bt878 board by default. I'm assuming that's
what's messing up KMix...
I've tried removing the ~/.kde/share/config/kmix* files but no luck there
- KMix still dies when launched and doesn't even recreate the files (so it
seems it's failing at an early stage)
Backtrace from the crash as follows:
#0 0x41376497 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0

#17 0x400366d4 in KMixDockWidget::setVolumeTip ()
from /opt/kde/lib/libkdeinit_kmix.so
(I just did a find in files under ~/.kde for 'Ensoniq' and the only places
it's referenced are in the two kmix* files which I've temporarily renamed.
Of course that doesn't mean that something isn't trying to access the
board by number rather than name :-)
cheers

Now sorted (ish). Solution:
edit ~/.kde/share/config/kmixrc and set AllowDocking to false. As soon as
AllowDocking is true, it dies when started. With it set to false it at
least runs in its own window without problems.
I suspect that's a bug and it isn't handling taskbar display properly when
more than one mixer device is available.
Now to see if I can raise the energy to try installing a new version (I'll
probably upgrade the whole OS soon anyway)
cheers
