I am using Jessie. 64 bits. I have been using Sound Converter in other distros (LMDE, Ubuntu, etc) in the past.Jessie has Sound Converter 2.1.3. I think I have installed the needed codecs. When I try to convert from mp4 to mp3, the program gets stuck, and nothing happens. Other formats can be converted.
When I use SoundKonverter (also in Jessie, version 2.1.1) it works with no problem, converting from mp4 to mp3. Nevertheless I would prefer to use Sound Converter.
I upgraded my system from Wheezy to Jessie and now the audio is tinny. It sounds like a lot of the bass is being chopped off. This happens in YouTube's HTML5 video player, VLC and whatever player it is that Thunar launches for avi files.I'm using Xfce as my desktop, if that matters.I looked around for an equalizer app for pulseaudio but was surprised to find that the there isn't one, or at least not one which is still maintained.
I installed Sound Juicer but all it does is say "cannot read tracks". Playing the music CD works fine otherwise in other programs so it's definitely not the system or CD.
Tried on another computer with Jessie to be sure and I got the same thing there.
I suppose I can just use a different program but wondering if it's just me or if it's something to report ?
I just installed wheezy and upgraded to jessie. I had previously gotten sound working in wheezy by installing the flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound packages, after configuring my headset in system settings. However, now I can't get sound to play in firefox. I've installed flashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound, and pulseaudio, still without luck. The volume is turned all the way up in alsamixer, sound tests play fine, and I can play music in VLC without any problems. This leads me to believe it's not a problem with drivers, but with some package I'm missing that will allow firefox to play sound. Sound wasn't working in the default video player either, before I installed the flash plugin. Is there something I'm missing?
Also, sound doesn't play on Konqueror either (KDE browser), which seems to indicate it's a problem with flash and not with firefox itself. After removing the flash plugin and installing pepperflashplugin-nonfree to ensure the pepper plugin was used instead of flash, sound still would not play in chromium, so I reinstalled the flash plugin and still don't have sound in any browser.
I've had no trouble with it until attempting to add new music to my banshee music library and ipod. I've copied the music into my music folder and tried to convert to MP3 with sound converter but it keeps popping up with the warning "Cannot overwrite source files". I tried to convert the files to MP3 directly from the cd but that didn't work either.
I've been testing with the SoundConverter software and I want to write a script for it.Most music files on my pc are *.flac. But I want to convert some albums to my mp3 player with a script. Everything works fine. I do this:Code:soundconverter -b -m audio/mpeg -s .mp3 *.flacBut the quality is 128kbps.Is there any way to change the bitrate (in the terminal ofcourse)?And if this is not possible, is there an alternative that copies the tags correct like SoundConverter?

Just installed a Debian on my pc. I had to install the nvidia official drivers to get my card working (GeForce GTX 750 Ti)But i have no sound (in my Windows partition sound works fine). The sound cards are apparently recolonized and loaded but i get nothing.

then reboot, didn't work/Then i tryed to install the official Realtek ALC887 drivers from their page but get error compiling and no answers of how to fix it
Code: Select allerror: implicit declaration of function ‘fget_light’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] file = fget_light(fd, fput_needed);
didn't work/After that i pluged my pc to a friends HDMI tv and i got sound when i change PulseAudio aoutput. So i guess the nvidia card sound works, but my headphones and speakers that i own don't. Finlay i disabled my sound card on BIOS and alsa stop recognizing the cards even after enabling them again.
So whenever I start-up and after I enter my passphrase for cryptsetup (before login manager) I hear this crackling sound from my speakers constantly throughout usage.
While watching a movies or playing Youtube videos it's less noticeable, but when I'm typing up or working it really gets frustrating.
I've tried to figure out if pulseaudio was the culprit. uninstalled and rebooted yet crackling and pops continued. I haven't yet altered or messed around with ALSA or snd_hda_intel driver. But I did notice while using Audio Mixer, muting the speakers section stopped the crackling ...
So I guess the problem lies with Alsa or snd_hda_intel or both?

I can't get the sound to work. The soundcard doesn't seem to be corrupted (works on both Hackintosh and Windows 8 ), but it looks like alsa won't recognize it on Debian:

I recently bought a used Asus eee 1001PX. It came installed with some spyware called windows which I replaced with jessie. Everything works great but one thing. When I plug in headphones I get no sound in the headphones. If I have some audio running and plug them in while it's playing it doesn't cut the audio from the built in speakers off like it should do. If I start and look at Output Devices in pauvcontrol it seems like it at least recognizes that I have headphones inserted.
I didn't have a chance to test if the physical audio jack was broken while it had Windows running on it but assuming that it's not physically broken, what might be wrong? I know very little about audio, alsa, pulse and that kind of stuff so I hardly know even where to start.

I've got a Leadtek TV2000 Expert tuner and it was connected with my soundcard on motherboard succesfully. Before many years it worked percectly with my early Ubuntu version 7.04 and 8.04 - that used the AUX for soundlevels in the alsamixer. In TVTIME I've get all my TV-channels but without sound...
Always when I run tvtime it sends me:
"mixer: Can't open device /dev/mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable. mixer: No such mixer channel 'aux', using channel 'line'."
I am having sound issues with iBook G4 running Debain Jessie. I am dual booting Ubuntu_MATE 15.04 and Jessie on the same HD. For PowerpC iBooks and PowerBooks you need to manully load the snd-aoa-i2sbus module in order to open alsamisxer so you can set you PCM Channel. I have done this when I ran Jessie on my PowerBook and sound worked with no issues. Now on this iBook I have ran both Lubuntu and Ubuntu-MATE with sound working by using this method. However when I installed Jessie I loaded the module, got aslmixer to load and set my PCM Channel but no sound.
I've been having problems with audio not working through the speakers since I upgraded to Jessie. I did a fresh install, the same hardware worked out of the box on Wheezy. Audio does work through the headphones - searching Google results in a LOT of similar issues on various distros, but none of the suggestions I've found have worked. Pulseaudio is not installed.
Alsamixer shows that the speakers are un-muted, and toggling the headphone auto-mute in case that was causing problems doesn't work. lsmod shows that snd_hda_codec_hdmi is loaded and in use - could it be trying to send sound via HDMI? Odd, because this laptop does not have an HDMI port. Blacklisting that module doesn't seem to make a difference however.
I recently updated my Debian jessie system (for the first time in a few months). It broke my video driver (fortunately a dpkg-reconfigure fixed that) and my wireless driver (forget how I fixed that...), and my sound. ALSA still thinks I have an output device, I've set volumes all the way up in alsamixer.
In vlc and firefox, I can't hear anything using the default audio out (which I think is pulseaudio), nor can I hear anything if I ask them to use ALSA output directly. I've tried rebooting, killing/manually starting pulseaudio, etc to no avail.
I think it was either the kernel upgrade (went from 3.10 to 3.13) or a configuration option in some sound subsystem that broke. To be clear, sound was working perfectly before the upgrade. My machine is an Ivy Bridge-era Zenbook.
It has happened to my debian jessie system that the sound sometimes ceased to work, but after a quick review of alsamixer, pavucontrol it was easy to put everything back to normal. Not this time
The sound works as a charm with no headphones, but not with them, and I find them particularly useful for talking with people since the sound quality is way better...
I have alsa and pulseaudio installed on my system

In pavucontrol everything looks normal, and the output seems to be working...
I recently upgraded from wheezy to jessie and everything went as planned with dist-upgrade. However I just noticed that I can't play any video file. I thought about upgrading vlc, as it was already installed but it had dependency problems. So I tried to remove it
Code: Select allsudo apt-get remove --purge vlc
Then If I try to install vlc I receive this message:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Now, I thought about removing vlc-data but I received this message saying that 253 packages will be removed (624Mb worth of applications). Am I uninstalling my entire system with this?

- Debian boots normally - I get the login screen - Once my credentials entered, I see only the grey foreground of the login screen for a couple of seconds, then a black screen with a prompt for like half a second and then I'm back to the login screen. No error message, nothing.
When booting in recovery mode and use startx, it works fine (it's my setup at the moment). From there, if I start gdm3 (systemctl start gdm.service), I get the black screen with a prompt and I can do nothing, I have to shut down directly by pressing the button.I tried to add Debian-gdm user to the video group (even if I don't use nVidia drivers), to replace gdm by lightdm and even to remove any display manager but the issue is not solved.Here are some outputs:

Since removing gdm didn't change anything, I assume it doesn't have anything to do with it but still.
I'm trying out a Jessie install and have noticed VNC doesn't work as well as it used to. I often install a desktop environment on a headless machine, disable *dm, and use vnc4server to create a desktop session if I want to use a GUI. When I try to do the same on Jessie, I run into problems.
Using Gnome, all I get is the generic "Oops something went wrong" error. Looking at .xsession-errors, there are some errors that hint at the problem.

The same thing seems to happen with Cinnamon. Since I doubt a fix for the above issue will make it into Jessie, I tried XFCE. However, that doesn't work correctly either. When running XFCE via VNC something is misreporting the version of xrandr as 1.1 instead of 1.4. Since xfsettingsd appears to want version 1.2+, many things are broken.
This post on the Ubuntu forums suggests the issue might be fixed in xfsettingsd version 4.11: [URL] .....
Is there a better way of getting a remote desktop in Jessie that I'm overlooking?
A few weeks ago I have installed Debian Jessie on KDE Desktop Version. I have a problem with the Display Manager Kdm, if i log out session the monitor turns off (DVI No Signal), the only option that I have it's forced shutdown or reboot via power button. I try another DM lightdm and this works fine. But i liked to know why log out session crash on Kdm.
Adding : TerminateServer=true at the end of /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc (Section :[X-:*-Core], solve the issue.
I'm trying to install KDEConnect on my 64 bit Debian system. It's failing because of dependencies.
Tried installing the first dependency, sshfs. It said it cannot find the 64 bit package. So, I tried the 32 bit. That one depends on fuse. Tried to install fuse 32 bit. hat depends on sed. Tried installing 32 bit sed, but the package manager said it's risky to replace 64 bit sed with the 32 bit variant.
I stopped here thinking that I'm risking some stability and the road to the finish line is not visible till the end, meaning I might lose hours trying to do something that fails at the last step. This happened to me few times in the past (with other software) and I really don't want to repeat the incident. I need a stable system and I need my time.
The question is: how to get installed kdeconnect package on Jessie 64 bit ...
X won't start (awesome WM) after upgrading to jessie. It seems to startup up, then just stops. I'm running startx from the command line after logging in. The xorg log (bottom) looks good and I see an exit code of zero.
I do see this in sysout:
