I am running F12 and I use Amarok to manage/play my music library.
I keep having a problem where the mixer 'Surround' in my alsa volume gets maxed whenever I switch tracks in Amarok. I want to stop this from happening because it causes my speakers to buzz just loudly enough to drive me crazy.
I have an SB Live! 5.1 (emu10k1) card.
ALSA mixer resets my speaker volume to zero and changes my USB headset volume to a very low level. How can I get ALSA Mixer to remember my volume settings from last boot or if there's no other option, a way I can make it adjust the levels to a predetermined level automatically on startup. I'm using 10.10 with pulseaudio.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI notice that each time I boot my computer, under the playback section of the ALSA Mixer the 'Speaker' volume control is turned all the way down. Even when I return it to the proper level, and then restart my computer later, the slider for 'Speaker' seems to default back to the previous state mentioned above. Is there a way to set the default for the ALSA mixer in a .conf file of some sort so that the default setting for 'Speaker' is always at max?

I'm after a difinitive answer for this issue as I can't seem to find what I need anywhere. I'm running Fedora 11 kde 4.2.4 with an Epson Photo Stylus RX425 printer / scanner combo connected via usb. Is there any way to moniter the ink levels in this printer? I'm tearing my hair out.

I recently burned an audio cd. when i used it in my car i noticed i had to turn the volume up a lot more then on my other burned cds. previously i used my mac to burn cds. the mp3 files are the same, they are located on a external hd that both computers access. the difference is significant. any ideas on why this is?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI ran openSUSE way back since version 7.3, before that I was on Redhat 6 and briefly at 5 before that. I know my way around Linux pretty well but two problems with Fedora are bothering me right now. I'll begin a separate thread for each one to keep things clear.The first problem is with sound. I remember having problems with the Intel ICH7 chipset and pulseaudio on openSUSE, but the problem I have with Fedora is different. Sound works, but each time after rebooting, I have to open alsamixer to turn the master volume up from zero. Being an openSUSE user, I am comfortable with KDE, so I am running KDE 4.6.1 as my DE.Two sound devices have been detected, one is the Intel soundcard, which is recognized as snd_hda_intel. The primary sound device, according to alsa, is my Logitech UVC cam.

I have tried ln -s /lib/systemd/system/multi user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
And get the following error ln: failed to create symbolic link `/etc/systemd/system/default.target': File exists
I have even tried changing the /etc/systemd/system/default.target to my multi-user.target file to no aval.
I know I can use alsamixer in a terminal to adjust the sound for various input/outputs. But when I launch the alsamixergui, I only get Master Volume for Pulse Audio, which does me no good (Experienced the audio bug described in this ..... video [URL] how can I change the sound card in the Gui Mixer (S and F6 does nothing).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am an experienced redHat/Fedora sysadmin but I'm completely new to ubuntu/debian world and the-way-the-things-works. I am trying to understand a few things. One of them is security related. Is AppArmor an extra security layer that protects individual services based in what is the normal and expected behavior, right? Why it is disabled in all run levels expect level 6 (reboot?)? Should I enable it on all run-levels? Should I select which service to protect or the defaults are fine ?
Is netfilter, the basic packet filter on Ubuntu 9.10? I founded iptables and I installed firestarter, but looks like firestarter is protecting nothing from outside, based on this iptables -L output:
Code:
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target port opt source destination
ACCEPT all anywhere anywhere
This is right? The default policy is DROP but there is a rule that allows anything from anywhere? This make any sense ? And finally, what is ufw and why it is disabled in all runlevels? Is ufw a replacement for iptables, or firestarter or it is a completely new animal? Should I use ufw instead firestarter? I am impressed about how different is Ubuntu/debian from other RH based distros. I just realize how much I have to learn about this new stuff.
I have freshly installed an Ubuntu 10.04.1 by internet.
All is running well, but my nice values are all set to 0. Is there a script that handles these at boot time? How can I reset them to "appropriate" or "normal" levels (e.g. not all at 0)? I know in other installs, my nice levels vary depending on the process and the user.
Attached is a screen shot of my gnome-system-monitor, and aside from init, which I had set to -15, all others are at 0.

I noticed that thare are different default priviliges for the user depending if I boot in run level 3 or 5. Normally I use init 5 and login in graphical mode straight to Gnome desktop. Then all my USB devices (memory and external USB sound card) are accessible and work. If I log in throught termina (init 3) then USB has to be mounted and the sound card is not recognized.
Is there any general rule for such behaviour? If I plan to use level 3 shall reconfigure the system go get immidiate acces to usb sound card?
For some reason, it cannot change my zoom levels like before in numerical order with the zoomy extension.I have tried refreshing the page and restarting the computer, this is with Jaunty.

I was wondering if there is any kind of tool that i could use to check the ink levels in the printer. It is blinking that one of the carts is out but there is 4 in this printer. Its a pain in the **** having to hook it up and install it to a windows computer just so i can see what cart i need to replace. I went to System>Administration>Printing> Right clicked on the printer then went to Properties>Ink/toner levels> In the box it says "Marker levels are not reported for this printer" Hmm so basically i shouldn't use this printer?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using UNR 9.04 with Alsa 1.0.22.1 For some reason everytime I reboot my volume levels reset to headphone & speaker muted and headphone/speaker/PCM levels all set to 0%.
Does anyone know if there something I can that will allow my levels to be the same after I reboot? or if there is a script out there that will set my levels on startup?
If there isn't a script what would I do to create my own? also what would I do to have it auto run at startup?
Has anyone found a useful solution to monitor ink levels in a Canon MP 560 printer?
I was able to get the printer to work over a wireless network in Lucid but the printer properties do not show any ink levels.
I have a rather extensive mp3 collection.
The problem is some of the songs are louder than others, in other words set the volume and next thing a song comes along that scrambles your brains it's so loud, Or you get one you can't hardly hear.
I've used a couple of GUI's in the past, but all of them seem to do one song at a time. Not really an option with over 10,000 songs.
What would be nice is if I could pick one song as a base line and using terminal run a batch of say 500 songs through it.

I've never written a script file to automate anything but this may well be a time to learn one.
I've been using Ubuntu 10.10 for almost a year now and I'm really happy with it. I completely uninstall windows from my computer I'm able to do everything a used to do on Windows now on Linux, and even more... except for one thing... I cannot see the ink levels of my printer. It's a multifunction Epson Stylus TX110. I installed escputil and used the command "sudo escputil -i -u -r /dev/usblp0", the printer then starts making noise and no matter how long I wait, it never presents any info or displays the message: "device is busy" with no info about the ink levels.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just recently installed ubuntu so I'm quite lost on some stuff. This little annoyance comes from the volume levels in Ubuntu 10.04. I have partitioned my computer to have dual boot into windows and ubuntu, so I know the problems are not related to the hardware itself as everything works just fine in windows. I am using a Dell Inspiron 9400, for reference.
The multimedia keys on the computer respond correctly but on the lower three volume settings sound completely drops out as if I had muted the computer. I went into the Alsa mixer to see if I could configure these sound levels and sure enough the master volume was down to zero, PCM and LFE are also low . I changed the settings of the lower levels but when I press on the volume up or down media keys to switch level the settings get reset. I tried just changing one level, exiting and saving through alsactl but it didn't stick. Even after reboot the settings are back to the zero volume on the first levels.
This little fragment does the opposite of what I want and I am trying to figure out how to reverse it. I want to strip off the directory and echo just the filenames. I cannot predict how many levels deep the directory tree is.

View 4 Replies View Relatedsince I am on a Dell inspiron 1545 laptop, being able to display my battery charge is critical. After some extensive googling, I found I need a command 'acpi', which does not exist on my computer. I cannot seem to find it in the packages database; the closest thing being 'acpi-support' apt-get install also can't find it.
I tried cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state, but that only shows me if the battery is discharging or charging and doesn't give me an actual percentage.
In Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 9.10, certain sites seem to use bitmap fonts for any fixed-width fonts, but only at specific zoom levels. This site and other Stack Exchange sites are among the affected sites, and of course the default zoom level is affected. At unaffected zoom levels, I get the expected smooth curvy fonts. How can I make Firefox use the nice curvy smooth fonts at all zoom levels?
Edit: Adding example code for my own reference.
I am currently troubled with a very annoying problem - the volume level of the PC is jumping higher and lower at random intervals. It makes listening to music very difficult, as at times the music can go from just right to overly loud, just to fall right down so that it is hard to hear. I've only noticed this problem in the past few weeks, and I can definitely say it wasn't an issue in 9.10. This is a fresh install btw, not an upgrade.
