There is a bug report for this from years ago. Apparently it's a packaging issue not a bug in Timidity so didn't get fixed. :? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=901931 The solution apparently is to remove Timidity from the audio group ( details in link). Thanks again; this solve the...

I should probably have asked this before, but do you have package Timidity installed? Yes it is. Edit: My mistake previously (#24), we need # fuser -v /dev/snd/* to see if a system service (prime suspect: Timidity) has taken control of sound. Indeed, at first fuser -v /dev/snd/* returns nothing. Bu...

I suspect that as the Alsa speaker test is saying "Device or resource busy", it's Alsa that can't connect to the hardware. I understand, I tried your suggestions but always no sound (in particular there is no .asoundrc in my home directory). But, since the command speaker test also says: ...

Have you tried sound without Firefox running? If you close Firefox, are there any Firefox processes left running in Task Manager? If there are, kill them and try sound again. Try turning off the computer, pulling the plug or removing the battery on a laptop if you can. Press and hold the power butt...

Could you post output of $ fuser -v /dev/snd/* please? Edit: actually both of these: $ fuser -v /dev/snd/* $ fuser -v /dev/dsp See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting No output for the first command, and no file for the second: $ fuser -v /dev/snd/* $ fuser -v /dev/dsp Spec...

Do you get any output with the Alsa device ID? no sound in the output speaker-test -D hw:0,0 -c2 it returns $ speaker-test -D hw:0,0 -c2 speaker-test 1.2.4 Playback device is hw:0,0 Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels Using 16 octaves of pink noise Playback open error: -16,Device or r...

Have you had a look in sound settings to check if an application has taken control of sound playback? Yes: Audio volume in the panel and the pavucontrol program show devices and applications firefox is not marked as default. To check if sound is working in Alsa, run this command with speakers turne...

Thanks again,I apologize for the delay in my anser! Happy new year! Results are below Well, if PulseAudio can't see the sound device, can Alsa? What is the output of $ aplay -l $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]...

Hi thanks again for your help Looks like the driver isn't loading. Could you post output of # dmesg | grep 'snd_hda_intel' The result is [ 7.520540] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: device 1458:a002 is on the power_save denylist, forcing power_save to 0 $ On the 5.10.0-19 kernel the output is [ 6.926818]...

Seems to be an issue with the updated kernel, several people have reported the same issue. Boot with the old kernel until the issue is fixed. https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=153532 Thanks for the link. I already tried but unfortunately booting on the previous kernel (5.10.0-19) do not res...

pacmd list-sinks Plural, with an "s", works on my Bullseye install. I know I used pulseaudio -D to get it working on another install, but I can't remember if that was a Bullseye install that I messed up or Testing (I don't have pulseaudio installed in Testing any more, so can't check that...

The list-sinks command seems to need you to start pulseaudio in this way before it will work. pulseaudio -D Thanks for your help, Indeed pulseaudio seems to not start $pulseaudio -D E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. $ But! I check in the System Monitor (Ksysguard on my KDE Desktop) and...

Have you had a look in sound settings to check if an application has taken control of sound playback? Yes, and indeed the sound settings show no devices at all What does pacmd list-sinks say? Thanks for that command I didn't know it before! The pulseaudio daermon is not running $ sudo pacmd list-si...

Hello, after the last update (on sat 17, the list of updated package is given bellow) the integrated audio card does not work any more. I'm on Debian 11, the Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 with an i5/750 2.67 GHz, I made a comparison between the output of the command sudo dmesg for this versi...

Thanks for your answer,

I understand that the speed depends on the computer used, but I waited more than 15 mn on a recent dell laptop (Precision i9/32Go),
the USB drive was not mounted. Could it be longer?

Hello, I want to install Debian 11 from an usb stick, I follow the procedure to copy the iso image on it namely sudo cp debian-live-11.4.0-amd64-kde.iso /dev/sda] but, the command gives no return and I have to kill it manually. I tried in formatting the key (fat 32) before the copy, but the result i...

Hello, thanks for your answer and sorry for the delay in my response. My goal is to power off (and on) the Nvidia card dynamically, as it was with previous Debian version (9 and 10) with optimus. On that version (9 and 10) only a specific command (optirun) for running a program on the Nvidia card, w...

Hello, I run Debian 11 on my Dell Precision Mobile 3561. On it there is two graphic cards Intel and a Nvidia T600 M. The two cards are managed by the proprietary Nvidia driver (the 460). When the nvidia T600 is idle it is still powered, this increase both temperature and consumption (a problem when ...

Sorry for my lack of reactivness, thanks for the infos in particular about the developement of Komparator4. I remember Komparator, it was quite good for finding duplicates and syncing directories interactively. Shame it never got updated for Plasma5. and the possible alternatives, Meld and FSlint bo...

Thanks for your answer,
I know that software (kompare) too. Unfortunately it is not the same as komparator4, nor a replacement for it.
thanks anyway
