Description Shlomi Fish 2017-12-15 19:52:25 CET 
Description of problem:

Trying to enable pulseaudio in draksound (as root) does not remember it on subsequent runs. I.e: it doesn't stick, stay enabled when you run draksound again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

v7 x86-64.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo -i
2. draksound as root.
3. Enable pulseaudio.
4. Press OK.
5. draksound again.

This problem prevents me from hearing sound in firefox.

Just for the record: it seems I can get the desired effect by running this command as root:

ln -sf /etc/sound/profiles/pulse /etc/alternatives/soundprofile 

but update-alternatives seems to be malfunctioning.

Not reproduced under actual Cauldron.

Note: x86_64 nonfree-netinstall with Plasma selected as DE from:

Updated srpm.
Seems thing has been fixed.
Also, Pulseaudio is enabled by default on all my sound cards (Internal Motherboard, HDMI via graphical card).

Closing this old.
Please feel free to reopen if not fixed for you.
