pulseaudio 13.0 with nvidia sound [SOLVED]
by wirelessmc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4QMVN)
I updated my *64-current yesterday and the upgrade included the new pulseaudio_13.0 package. This broke the nvidia driver/kernel sound even after rebuilding/reinstalling these packages with the new kernel v4.19.73. The MO was the Audio Setup GUI (Phonon multimedia framework) no longer displayed my nvidia hardware but displayed only the Pulseaudio Server instead. I was able to get sound out but only via the "Test" play button and only in my User account (not root!). The KDE Workspace Notifications setting no longer played sounds (login etc) or any other player/device for that matter - again sound only functioned in the KDE Audio GUI test mode. My first thought was this was an issue with the new kernel. This was not the case. I solved the issue by downgrading the Pulseaudio package to the previous version (12.2) which worked just fine in the 4.19.69 kernel.
In any event folks having similar issues might want to downgrade their pulseaudio.
Sould I bring this to the attention of the Slackware Team, Pulseaudio or both?
