[Bug 985051] Re: Soundserver Phonon without Sound, takes only Dummy-Driver

[Colin Guthrie]

This is a configuration error.

It can be caused by several factors:
 1. You do not have drivers loaded for your sound card (cat /proc/asound/cards)
 2. Your user does not have permission to use the sound card (getfacl /dev/snd/pcm* and make sure your user is listed in the ACL).
 3. Some other application is running and has opened the sound card exclusively preventing the audio server from opening it, thus making it present just a dummy output (sudo lsof | grep -E "(/dev/dsp|/dev/snd/pcm)")

Either way, it is certainly not a phonon bug.
