HOW TO: Remove PulseAudio and Install ESound (ALSA)

[coldReactive]

Possible devices are: hw:0 (HDA NVidia)

Download and save this page as alsa-info.sh

Right-Click alsa-info.sh > Properties > Permissions Tab; make sure that Allow executing file as program is checked.

In terminal, cd to where alsa-info.sh is located, and run it by typing in ./alsa-info.sh

When it prompts you to upload the data to the alsa server, tell it no.

After it completes, go to tmp in your / (filesystem) and paste your alsa-info.txt between CODE BBCode tags, or upload it

gnome-alsamixer works for example...
but gnome-volume-control and gnome-volume-control-applet not works, and I think keyboard volume keys not works because of gnome-volume-control-applet too...

ALT+F2 and type in esd. Then hit Run. A sound effect should play. Then, try it again. If it works after that...

Make sure that your mixer (System > Preferences > Sound) looks like this:



Reboot the machine after hitting OK. See if this helps. ESound isn't running according to your alsa-info.

no any sounds

Make sure that your mixer (System > Preferences > Sound) looks like this:

It is the gnome-volume-control , not works as I write before...
It only shows a small window about "waiting for response from sound subsystem"

Reboot the machine after hitting OK. See if this helps. ESound isn't running according to your alsa-info.

Rebooted twice, still no any progress

Rebooted twice, still no any progress

Try esd -d hw:0

root@Anton-HP:/tmp# esd -d hw:0
- using device hw:0
root@Anton-HP:/tmp# ps ax | grep esd
13362 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep esd
root@Anton-HP:/tmp#

[colorprint]

if running just "esd" I see it in ps output:

root@Anton-HP:/tmp# ps ax | grep esd
 4009 ?        SL     0:00 esd
 4387 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep esd

and alsa-info.sh reports after this:

ESound Daemon:
      Installed - Yes (/usr/bin/esd)
      Running - Yes

But System > Preferences > Sound (gnome-volume-control) and gnome mixer applet (gnome-volume-control-applet ) not works anyway...

You might want to create a new topic about the issue, I'm sorry.
