Fedora Hardware :: 13 Does Not Use Front Speakers On SoundBlaster Audigy 2 With 5.1 Setup
Jun 19, 2010
I have a soundblaster audigy 2 connected to 5.1 speakers. The setup was working perfectly with Fedora 11.
I recently upgraded to Fedora 13 and found that it will only play through the center channel, the subwoofer, and the rear channels. The front speakers don't work.
I've tried all possible 5.1 configurations in the "Hardware" section of the "Sound Preferences" dialog. I've also played with the "PulseAudio Volume Control" tool (which seems to have the same functionality).
I also disabled all other sound devices on the system just in case.
I can only hear sound from my front speakers but not from the rear ones. And everytime I reboot I have no sound and manually have to do 'alsaconf'.For information about what I have done: I have only 'su' to root and put 'alsaconf'.It detected my soundcard and the sound works but only the front ones. As I am new to debian(I have installed debian lenny), I would greatly appreciate any help as to what should I do.On googling around I found that I have to edit some "asound" file.
I would like wireless rear speakers without breaking the bank. Creative's Sound Blaster Wireless Transmitter seems to be the ticket. I would like to get pulse audio to blast the rear left and right channels through the sound blaster usb card and the other channels through the AC97 card built into my mobo (I think its ac97, anyway it works right now). I would like a real 5 channel experience using two different sound cards. If there is delay, can I adjust for it?
a) have a speaker (1 line, 2 small boxes) in the speaker line outputb) have an headset on the other 2 lines (mic+earspeaker)Has somebody such a setup with this card?How should I make the setup in alsamixer?[URL]I putted the - speaker (2 boxes): in the middle connector- headset (mic+ear) in both other connectors in the top of the pictureIt dont work (with the alsamixersetup I made). So, I am searching now how is the right setup.
My Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 running Fedora 8 continues to play sound out of the laptop speakers when external speakers are plugged in (and no sound out of the external). What can I do to diagnose/fix this? code...
A sound card on F14/KDE -driven system has been replaced with SB Audigy SE (CA0106).
After trying to make the system to recognize the sound card, I have just downloaded, compiled and installed ca0106 driver from the sources at ALSA project site.
Sound card works fine; the microphone catches signal (according to what I hear in earphones when I speak into the microphone), yet no microphone using piece of software (tested on Audacity and Skype) is able to detect and use microphone.
I install a copy from an iso of Fedora 14 on a old Dell Computer with some upgrades not prepriatary hardware. One of the hardware problems I am having is getting my Creative Soundblaster 5.1 Live card to work with Fedora 14. I have been looking for a driver and as of yet have not found one that works well. Do you have any suggestions regarding this so I can do some site development on this machine.
The microphone input of the soundcard itself (it is an on-board Realtek card, standard with most Nforce4 boards) works just fine. Recording quality is very good. But when I try to use the mic input on the front of my PC case, pulseaudio receives no signal from the microphone. Skype doesn't work, Audacity can't record anything either.
Everything is wired inside the case just fine, Windows XP has no problems in using the input on the front. Also the Line-out at the same panel on the front works in F12 without problems, it is just the mic input that doesn't work.
Really interested if anyone knows of any pre-compiled or pre-built demo applications that could run on a MySQL back-end with a web-based front-end?
Ideally, it would be really, really simple having a web front-end that attaches to the database and just either reads data from it (or even enter data into it). Nothing too flash.
I'm thinking along the lines of a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MYSQL, PHP) install but I'm not a developer so if I have to build something I'll probably be out of my league here Does MySQL/Apache etc. have sample/demo databases with a web-front end application that could be fired up and installed without having to build the environment?
Years ago I remember M$ had the PetShop .Net app running on a SQL2000 environment easy to setup and simple enough to showcase the database and a simple front-end. A colleague wrote a small .NET app to just read the data from it and continuously scroll the data in a text box which was fine. Something like that on Linux would be perfect.
When I tried to run an application on terminal in Fedora 10. It occurs an error as following: cannot load front 8*13bold. Does it mean I should install a front package with 8*13bold? If yes, where and how can I install it? I am a beginner.
I have a list of domains in "domains.txt" , and I wanted to put an "nslookup" in front of each line and run it.. However I could not figure out a command for it.. Any ideas how to do this simple task?
I cannot use my front mic port in KDE on Fedora 14 (Upgraded from Fedora 13if that matters) on Skype.In Gnome I can select "Microphone 2" in sound preferences and it works, but in KDE I see no place to select front mix. I tried KMix and the "Phonon" in System Settings.
Before Fedora 14 i have Fedora 12 and all was ok with sound. Starting with root account surprize i have sound. But after playing a song in xmms, sound is dead. I have tested sound in Windows and is ok.
I have a 2U Rackable Systems server and I'm the engineer in charge of setting up the images for 3 of them for various tasks. The previous engineer was able to change the LCD display on the front of the server to read as the hostname and IP address which was very useful I can't find the script that he used to do it.
How is it possible to change the LCD status screen on the front of the server?
Well, the title pretty much sums it up. Whenever i plug in my external speakers, my laptop speakers continue to put out sound, which is good until i turn up the volume and hear rattling.
I am running ubuntu 9.04 64-bit 2.6.28-13 on an MSi GX620.
I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop. When I plug my headphones, they sometimes work, they sometimes don't, but that's not the main problem. When they do work, sound also plays out of the speakers. The only solutions I was able to find were for earlier versions, which don't work for 11.04.
I am using F14 Laughlin on my laptop HP Compaq6715b AMD turion 64x2. Installation went fine, only problem is with printer LQ680 24pin series. It is not a real problem that printer want print, it just want print 10 or 15 or 20 pages from tractor bin. I get message: '/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoepson failed. It stopped printing after every page, send message, I have to cancel error message, then I can print again. All this is happened if I try to print one by one page from front of printer, I just have to print page with command <ctrl>P.
I have small sound issue - no sound on front panel and headphones are greyed out in alsamixer. This issue appeared after i installed new video card (New video card also adds a pseudo audio device "HDA Nvidia" (without any controls in alsamixer).
I recently installed Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on my buddy's laptop. It's working alright, except when we try to plug the external computer speakers into the sound jack in the front, there is no change; it keeps playing through the onboard speakers. My friend and I are getting pretty frustrated because we use those speakers to watch movies with, and the onboard speakers aren't sufficient. If I need to provide any other info, let me know and I'll do so.
Sound does not work in my newly installed 10.04 (why I upgraded I will never know - I'm back to the same slowness problems with my ATI Radeon card as well). This time, however, I seemingly can't use my previous lazy approach of just switching on Digital support - it still won't work. Any suggestions - I'm really bad with Linux - and I have tried a couple of suggestions (I haven't recompiled alsa) - none of it will work.
Below is the output from an aplay -l command...
I gots to have my music - I might as well be using Windows if I have no music.
I am trying to record some vinyl using Audacity. I'm using Lucid 10.04 with a Soundblaster Audigy LS card. Regular sound playback works. Recording from the mic works. I just can't get anything to record from the line in. Everything is hooked up correctly. I can hear the music through the computer speakers. I booted into Windows and was able to record with Audacity just fine there. I can't get Audacity (or sound recorder) to show and record any input in Ubuntu. I've messed with every setting I can find in Audacity. I've also messed around with the settings in the GNOME ALSA mixer and sound properties. The most I can get to record is some static in the left channel.
I migrated to 10.04 (clean install) from 9.10 recently. I have no problems with internal sound card playback but cannot get the USB Creative Audigy Optical port working. I have defined it as Digital Output in Pulse Audio and when an application plays audio I can see Pulse Audio showing output but no output from the Audigy.
I would appreciate if anyone has come across this problem and if so could give some pointers to fix this issue.
"Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver: device: default can't be opened for playback (No such file or directory) The sound server will continue, using the null output device." code...
It's there, but it wouldn't make a sound: Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi
I installed ALSA snd-ctxfi. And now i got this: $ cat /proc/asound/modules 0 snd_usb_audio 1 snd_ctxfi
I have a normal install of Ubuntu 10.04 with KDE, gnome, and xfce. Every time i try to do something sound related on my computer, my speakers won't work. I tried headphones, still wouldn't work. The Ubuntu 10.04 documentation didn't help much, and I'm plugging in the speakers correctly.
