After upgrading from dbus 1.2.3 to 1.2.24, Amarok could not access my hda-intel sound card any more. The HDA-Intel thing seems to be specific; comment 8 in bug 314185 says 'this has extended to my sound card as well but only with my intel-hda pc. My other sound cards (mainly the ICH 8x0 AC'97) appears to work fine.' Dbus says: Apr 13 10:24:03 motoko dbus-daemon: [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.26" (uid=1000 pid=6654 comm="amarok) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager" member="FindDeviceByCapability" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=6299 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)) Apr 13 10:24:03 motoko dbus-daemon: [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.26" (uid=1000 pid=6654 comm="amarok) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager" member="GetAllDevices" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=6299 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)) Amarok says: QStringList Solid::Backends::Hal::HalManager::findDeviceByDeviceInterface(const Solid::DeviceInterface::Type&) error: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied" This seems related to the other dbus policy breakage ala bug 273909, bug 314509 and so on. I tried adding myself to plugdev group which was suggested in some of the other bug reports; no effect. I am fully up to date and did an etc-update + revdep-rebuild before restarting dbus after updating.

I can't reproduce it here. I have amarok-2.3.0 running happily on my work box with an intel sound card and dbus-1.2.24. $ qlist -Iv dbus amarok media-sound/amarok-2.3.0-r1 media-sound/amarok-utils-2.3.0 sys-apps/dbus-1.2.24
(In reply to comment #1) Are you using policykit? Is your user in plugdev or not? Trying to figure out what's going wrong for me. (For the time being I went back to dbus 1.2.3-r1, which fixed it immediately, so it definitely seems dbus related in some way and not one of the other updates that got applied around the same time)

I think it'll have something to do with a problem, people in unstable had to handle months ago. This was the relevant commit, IIRC http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/commit/?h=dbus-1.2&id=8fad15265fd0f405a67eebbece81520b47d7ba5f At the time, there were quite a few bugs about it, but it was so long ago, I no longer recall the numbers.
Looks like bug 267621 may have been about the same problem.
I second that problem. After updateing dbus to 1.2.24 my sound (Intel HDA) goes crazy. Amarok 2.3.0-r1 can't change tracks without loosing sound output. Sometimes restarting Amarok help but not all the time. Also, Phonon is starting to detect new devices named like default, hw0:1 ... At that point, I loose sound output on gnome as well. I'm on amd64 with policykit (USE flag enabled in make.conf), my system is uptodate, revdep is not complaining and dispatch-conf has nothing to do. My user is in plugdev group. I'm using Gnome 2.28 with some kde apps, stable kdelibs (4.3.5 atm) and stable Xorg-server. Reverting back to dbus-1.2.3-r1 is solving the problem for me as well.
I don't think this is really an amarok problem with dbus more of a kde problem. See Bug #314185
OK, I have to revert my first post. Downgrading dbus didn't solve the problem, it just made less obvious. Instead of locking up after each track change it just locked up after playlist completion. Realizing that, I reemerged dbus-1.1.24. I also reemerged some of the kde stuff (kdelibs, all the phonon related stuff and amarok-2.3.0-r1) after updating dbus (and completing the needed dispatch-config and revdep-rebuild). And now, at least at this moment, my amarok is running without locking up. Maybe my problems resulted from the emerge -auvDN world which updated dbus, amarok and some other stuff in one step without running dispatch-config, revdep-rebuild before building packages depending on dbus?
As there has been no recent activity on this bug, some of you seem to have fixed your issues and it still works for me, I'm closing this as WORKSFORME. Feel free to reopen if you hit / can reproduce the bug.
