I'm setting up a new computer with Debian Testing and KDE 4 and I cannot get Phonon's sound working. However I can play fine with other programs such as VLC.

My machine has two cards, an Creative Audigy and an internal soundcard I've disabled in the BIOS.

cat /proc/asound/cards

Code: Select all

 0 [Audigy         ]: Audigy - SB Audigy 1 [SB0090]
                      SB Audigy 1 [SB0090] (rev.3, serial:0x511102) at 0xe800, irq 17


aplay -l

Phonon's Backend is VLC (version 0.4.1)


Under Phonon's Device Prefrences I can see two copies of "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" one of which is greyed out. I can also see SB Audigy 1 [SB0090] (ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback) but this only appears under Capture Devices.

So, any suggestions?

Do you use pulseaudio?
