Enlightenment + Sound

[shadowjack]

Ok, so I don't get it...

I've got my system configured in such a manner that I can either start X with KDE or Enlightenment.

Here's the rub.. If I log straight into E, I have no sound. If I log out and back into KDE the sound works.. Then if I go back into E the sound is working fine.

So at this point, I figure I'll do a ps -A > pslog1 after booting into E and then a ps -A > pslog2 after going into KDE and back into E and diff the two to see which processes were started and then configure so that that process started with E.

No such luck..

Here is the output from diff:
20,27c20,27
< 434 ? 00:00:09 X
< 435 ? 00:00:00 gdm
< 446 ? 00:00:03 enlightenment
< 546 ? 00:00:00 gkrellm
< 565 ? 00:00:00 gkrellm
< 582 ? 00:00:00 Eterm
< 597 pts/0 00:00:00 bash
< 627 pts/0 00:00:00 ps

> 977 ? 00:00:00 Eterm

> 1018 pts/0 00:00:00 ps

I dont see any additional progs running..

Anyone have any advice??

Try looking over the Eligntenment webpage for esound [i think thats what its called]. You need it to run sound in E. It requires its own Sound deamon.

esd is alread installed and apparently running.

[arron@kenpc00439 arron]$ esd
esd: Esound sound daemon already running or stale UNIX socket
/tmp/.esd/socket
This socket already exists indicating esd is already running.
Exiting...
[arron@kenpc00439 arron]$

There is no man page entry, and enlightenment.org is down for revamp.. *sigh*

Any advice?

This might sound stupid but did you try to fool around with the enlightenment sound settings? Its been awhile since I've used E but I remember having to actually turn the sound on under one of the settings menus...
