i have formatted and installed clean install of arch linux (thank you xorg team for breaking the intel driver once again)

so i formatted / and left /home (with /home/ash and all the hiden files with settings) as is

i enter to kde and get a message from phonon - like this

[quote=phonon]you have the following devices removed

intel ich 5 capture
intel ich 5 playback
internal pc speaker playback

dont show this window again

do you want me to forget about them forever ?[/quote]

i choose dont show the window and dont forget the devices

i have no sound

in system settings the devices are shown in a kinda disabled color

i mess up with kernel and modules etc and everything seems ok

still no sound

i add new user with same permissions as me in /etc/group and login as him

he has all the sound and devices working ok

i dont have

i think there is kde bug here - the devices are working but my user seems to have some stuck setting that prevents kde from noticing that the devices are ok

i want to report a bug but dont know what to include

(i am going to delete the .files from my home to fix the problem on my computer. i'll copy them to backup to have them for the report. anything else ?)

Can you try removing the Phonon configuration file? ( $KDEHOME/share/config/phonondevicesrc )

thanks that helped

do i have report a bug ? (phonon does not detect newly enabled devices)

Yes, since it permanently forgot about your devices even though you told it not to.
