Description cjaone 2019-03-24 10:31:13 UTC
There is a missing symbolic link

from
/etc/alsa/conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf

to
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf

which leads to no audio.

The bug was already mentioned in

  https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1089302-start-0.html

for ~1.1.7 and I didn't find a bug report about this, so I filed this bug report for 1.1.8.
Comment 1 Alexander Tsoy 2019-03-27 21:59:37 UTC
This is a bug in media-plugins/alsa-plugins. I think we can drop this part from ebuild:

        insinto /usr/share/alsa
        doins "${FILESDIR}"/pulse-default.conf
        insinto /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d
        doins "${FILESDIR}"/51-pulseaudio-probe.conf

and just rename /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example -> /etc/alsa/conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf
Comment 2 Alexander Tsoy 2019-03-27 22:06:17 UTC
Ah, sorry. 51-pulseaudio-probe.conf seems to be more smart and can detect if pulseaudio is actually running.

Same problem here, manually creating the symllink worked. Thanks cjaone!
