The only way I seem to be able to play music as of recently seems to be to use esound. For some reason, KDE can't find the driver for my ALC1200 on-board sound system.

Code: Select all

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


If I play an mp3 using mplayer, with esound stopped, it works fine. If I use dragon or amarok, it only works with esound started. So it seems like the driver is there, but I'm not sure why KDE won't use it directly.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated. The esound driver skips a bit as it starts up, uses noticeable CPU time, and crashes from time to time, so if I could get back to what was working in the past, it would be nice. I'm just not sure what change caused it.

Thanks,

EDIT: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=91193#p176566 solved it - removing the phonon rc file, allowing it to rebuild on restart, and everything is working.
