          Assignee: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Latest Updates to Opensuse 12.2 disable audio settings
                    once again
        QA Contact: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: blocker
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: raywobler at gmail.com
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: alsa
           Product: PulseAudio

Frankly, I don't know where to post this report because audio in Linux is so
convoluted one cannot know where to start.  In this instance the fault seem
likely elsewhere than Pulse, but there is no other audio related link here to
post on.
So the following updates get installed on 14th Feb:
vlc again+vlc5+libs 2.1.2-193.1 ; gstreamer+libs 1.2.3-2.1 ;
libavcodec54/device54/format54/filter2/util51/postproc51/resample0/swresample99/swscale1
1.0.8-4.1; ffmpeg +libav:-
codec55/device55/format55/filter3/resample1/util52/postproc52/swresample0/swscale2
2.1.3-1.1 ; 
These follow previous version updates to almost the identical set of files on
the day before.  Indeed these files have been chasing their own tails with
repeated updates since December 2012 indicating that audio design needs to go
back to the drawing board.

While internal audio plays (Realtek 82801G=ALC882 ? = Intel HDA = 82801G ICH7
Family High Definition Audio Controller) and can be controlled, no output now
goes to recorder.  Krecord fails to detect the soundcard, reporting 'no such
file' and audio recorder shows no output, nor indeed does pavucontrol (though
the volume sliders remain active).
If you uninstall Pulse, the same fault condition remains indicating that the
problem is more deep seated.
There is a further persistent issue that the internal and external (accessory)
mic connections are reversed, but one can work around that in Pulse when all
else works.  However microphone now does not function in Skype either although
still monitored through the internal speakers.

The system: Asus Z96F (S96F) laptop kernel 3.4.63-2.44.1
