Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja Keywords:

I'm a bit reluctant to set this bug to MGA2TOO if it wasn't ever reproduced CC:

marja11 It's sporadic. I've only seen it once in the last week, with over a dozen boots into Mageia 2. Right clicking on the icon, selecting the mixer channel and setting it back to the internal audio device corrects it. Keywords:

mageia During this, what a ps aux | grep kmix returns ? From the xsession errors, I can see this: kmixctrl(5409)/kmix Mixer_PULSE::writeVolumeToHW: pa_context_set_sink_volume_by_index() failed I think I fixed this a month or two back in upstream KDE, but can't remember if it's in our kmix package or not... I'll cherry pick the fix to the 4.8 branch which is due an update soon IIRC. That said, I cannot see how that would cause this kind of problem anyway, so I suspect it's a red herring concerning this particular problem. To be honest kmix is such a mess it's kinda hard to know where the problem might be :s e.g. it could just be a window drawing problem. Next time it happens can you take some screenshots of each tab available (e.g. the Sinks, Source, Playback and Record stream tabs) just so I can see exactly what you mean. Cheers

MGA2TOO =>
MGA2TOO kde4.8.4 Given how rarely it happens, there's no way to confirm whether or not the update is actually fixing the problem. I'll close the bug as fixed, and reopen if I see it again.

There is a webcam, that has a mic.(In reply to comment #8) Status:
