Like many folks I have an ATI video card with an HDMI output, this gets set as the default sound device, because it loads before the Realtek portion of the hda_intel module. As known, the HDMI output has no mixer controllable features, other than mute, in either pulseaudio or phonon, JACK doesn't even play nice there. Another anomaly is degradation of the sound stream after time in Amarok, after about 30min of playing, the sound started skipping and halting, (mem leak, thread chase?). Another issue I had with the 10.10 which is more critical than sound driver problems is the new kernel has been compiled without VM support, ie. "Parallels" is non loadable as its modules will not compile, because the headers in /lib/modules are lacking the required files. I have not yet had the chance to check out if QEMU and the other native VMs will function. After I get it a little more documented I will start a separate bug filing on it, as well as my next issue. There seems to be a bug in the permissions department, when signed in using kdesu or sudo it reassigned the ownership of the config files in my home directory and cache files in /var to root, this rendered my desktop unusable until I logged out and reset the ownership to myself via the recovery console. It also assigned portions of the /home and /usr directory to another user, such as lost&found and trash, and some of the other KDE files in /usr/lib and /usr/share. (This is a BIG!! problem). Could this be associated with the pulseaudio business? Cheers Craig :-\ </body> </html>
