Every application launched from konsole (KDE Terminal) exits with: aplay-1.0.18: set_params:1022: Unable to install hw params mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090322: [AO_ALSA] Unable to set hw-parameters: Broken pipe The same commands work perfectly in console (session without X). I use snd-usb-audio connected via USB hub. Integrated hda-intel works in konsole & in console. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: konsole 1. aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav 2. aplay -D hw:1,0 test.wav console 1. aplay -D hw:0,0 test.wav 2. aplay -D hw:1,0 test.wav Actual Results: konsole 1. Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo 2. aplay: set_params:1022: Unable to install hw params: console 1. Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo 2. Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Expected Results: It should work or doesn't work in both sessions. Because it doesn't in konsole only I assigned KDE category to this bug. Configs & logs at url above.

Looks like its related to USB hub (attached usb sound card and logitech mouse). It turned out usb sound card works properly if I unplug usb mouse from the hub. I'm still trying to figure out how to make both working. It's not hardware issue because there was no problem on Gentoo x86 before.
Same problem here. When the external sound card is plugged into a USB hub, I'm getting the same error. Plugged the card directly into the computer -- works fine.
