Whatever device is selected among the list of Device Preference leads to an identical result when the vlc backend is selected. No problem with the xine backend. -- Environment ------ KDE 4.7.4 but this was also the case under last 4.6 stable phonon-4.5.1-r1 + phonon-vlc-0.4.0 + phonon-xine-4.4.4 -- Device list with the vlc backend selected -------- Showing "Advanced devices" 11 devices are shown including : Alsa Default | The HDA (which outputs are not connected) | The ICE1712 compatible device which outputs to an external amplifier | jack (running) | dummy | out_file | loopbacks... aso... --- Problem details ---------- Whatever the device I select and apply to everything, I can hear sound when depressing the test button. which obviously should not be the case with devices such as HDA, dummy, out_file... When jack is selected, jackd sees no client. Moreover, I do not even think that the first device in the list (Alsa-Default) is chosen because my Alsa-Default is made around dmix + resampling and the sound I can hear is obviously not resampled. Everything is absolutely correct when selecting the xine backend. I get a more reduced set of devices but I correctly hear nothing when testing the HDA, jackd sees an additional client when I select jack... aso. Reproducible: Always
