[Mageia-discuss] Sound in Mageia?

'Twas brillig, and Wolfgang Bornath at 03/03/11 10:04 did gyre and gimble:

Yo,

Feel free to hit me up on IRC to debug (it's often easier), but in the
meantime:

ps aux | grep pulse
xprop -root | grep -i pulse | grep -vi cookie
PULSE_LOG=99 pactl stat
pacmd ls


If pulse is not running, then trying:
pulseaudio -vvvvv
would help too.

Cheers!

Col
