'''Upgrade Pulse Audio'''
A newer version of ''pulseaudio'' has been built since the release of F10-Beta.  The latest version is [http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=65387 pulseaudio-0.9.13-1.fc10], a changelog is available in [http://koji.fedoraproject.org koji].
# To install the update type: <pre> yum update pulseaudio</pre>


=== How to test? ===
=== How to test? ===


Use a live cd or make a default install.
Please add your findings to the matrix below or discuss any issues or concerns on IRC #fedora-qa.
 
Open a terminal window and run:
 
<pre>gnome-sound-properties</pre>
 
Set Sound Events, Music and Movies, Audio Conferencing to
Autodetect and click all the test buttons and try playing
sound from the sound menu.
 
Repeat the above but set everything to PulseAudio Sound Server
and leave it like that!
 
Open a terminal window and run:
 
<pre>pavucontrol</pre>
 
Open Edit and select all tracks.
 
Start testing the tracks one by one.
 
Test playing media and different types of media in a terminal window.
 
<pre>paplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav</pre>
 
Test playing the same file(s) through media players that use
gstreamer for a backend.
 
First check if gstreamer is using pulseaudio sound server:
 
<pre>gstreamer-properties</pre>
 
Then test playing a file.
 
<pre>gnome-mplayer /usr/share/sounds/login.wav</pre>
 
Test players that dont use gstreamer for a backend.
 
<pre>su -c 'yum -y install audacious'</pre>
 
Go to preference of that player and make sure it's using PulseAudio.
 
Start audacious the <ctrl>p select Audio and make sure Current output plugin
is set to PulseAudio output plugin.
 
<pre>audacious /usr/share/sounds/login.wav</pre>
If you have a sound card that supports surround sound you can enable surround sound
by editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf.
 
Find the line that has "; default-sample-channels = 2"
change 2 to 6 for 5.1 or to 8 for 7.1 then restart the pulseudio.
 
Consult the documentation of the media player that you use
on how to set it to play 5.1 audio.
 
Take a look at http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup
 
Please add your thoughts below or discuss any issues or concerns on IRC #fedora-qa.
 
 
'''Things to Avoid:'''
* emu10k-based cards ... the driver is buggy
* Bluetooth audio devices
* Closed-source software (skype, flash etc...)
* Fiddling with ''default.pa'' should be avoided
 
'''Debugging Tips:'''
* Add your user to the pulse-rt group. Note you will need to logout and in again for it to take effect.
 
<pre>su -c '/usr/sbin/usermod -a -G pulse-rt <username>'</pre>
 
* Kill pulseaudio
 
<pre>pulseaudio -k</pre>
 
* Start pulseaudio verbose mode
 
<pre>pulseaudio -vvvv</pre>
 
* Ensure the volume is up and unmuted using either:
** ''alsamixer''
** ''pavucontrol''
** ''alsamixer -c0'' (to bypass PA)
 
* Are any ''$HOME/.asoundrc*' files present that might be customizing your sound preferences?
 
* Are any sound-related messages present in ''/var/log/messages'' or ''dmesg'' ?
 
* Include the URL generated by running [http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh] in any bug reports
 
* Include output of aplay -L, the verbose pulseaudio -vvvv output (see above) and the output of "ls" inside of "pacmd" in any bug reports.
 
* If you found CPU load related issues, please include oprofile dumps in your bug report. See the cheat sheet: http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/docs/
 
* For crashes include a full backtrace.
 
* Include your smoltProfile url in any bug report. Encase you did not send it in the first place..
 
<pre>su -c 'smoltSendProfile -a'</pre>
 
* Consult http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ
