liveslak with Plasma5...
by FTIO from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VAY8)
I just put this (the latest from Alienbob's site) onto my flashdrive and booted into it.
It ran nice and quick, compared to the couple of times I'd tried it in the past few years.
Nothing really special though, except of course KDE has changed a few niggling things (to me), but no show stopper.
What *IS* the showstopper for me though, is that the sound must be pulseaudio.
5.1 stereo setup doesn't work, nor 4.1 or anything else except 2.0 stereo, all on my old soundblaster Live.
I saw good ol' 'kmix' in the menu and thought, this will fix things!
Nope...click on kmix and nothing happens, but if you go down the menu of the multimedia, there's the pulseaudio thing, click on it and it pops q window right up. Thing is, it's nothing different than what's in the system setup thing, so it was no help, as usual.
Looks like I'm going to have to stay with my raggedly hax0red 14.2 x64 (to get the nasty pulseaudio crapware out of it) and my 32 bit 14.1 to play my music and movies correctly. Bummer, as I was looking forward to the latest and greatest Slackware so I could finally install some things that have a need for updated libraries that I can't put on these systems. Meh. Pulseaudio - 'We'll fix what ain't broke!'. :(
