Fedora :: Mysterious Sounds Emanating From Computer

Jun 12, 2010

All of a sudden this morning my computer started making these mysterious sounds. The first sound is a sequence of three notes going up. About a minute later there is a sequence of three notes going down. There is nothing in the system tray to indicate that anything is abnormal. When it started doing it I updated, restarted, updated again, and finally restarted. I did not update again after that thinking that this is not a Windows machine, so that would not be necessary.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: GTK-recordmydesktop Mic And Computer Sounds

Feb 10, 2011

I've been playing around with my settings for ages now but I cant get GTK-recordmydesktop to record anything other than my mic. Ideally I need the mic and the computer sounds to be recorded, any ideas how this can be done? I've googled around but nothing really helpful comes up. Also, if you need my hardware info, just tell me the command and i'll post the results.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: None Of Notification Sounds Work / Skype, Firefox, And Wine Still Give Sounds?

Feb 24, 2010

I've been using opensuse for about a week.(although I'm not completely a linux noob) I've been slowly moving more of the stuff I do on windows over to suse. I thought my sound was working fine until I decided to get mp3s running on amarok. I followed a bunch of guides which didn't work. While I was messing around with stuff I noticed a startup noise. I just assumed it didn't have a startup noise. At some point I broke all of my sound except running wine, so I reinstalled.

Now that I've noticed, none of my notification sounds work. Stuff like skype, firefox, and wine still give me sounds.

(If anyone could point me in the direction of a good place to get mp3s working on amarok would be nice as well.)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Cannot Get The Sound To Work - No Web Sounds - No CD Sounds

Sep 1, 2011

I have a HP laptop model HP G72 Notebook PC, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 350 @2.27GHz & the Sound devices are Intel(R) Display Audio & Realtek High Definition Audio.

This machine came loaded with Windows7 & I have successfully dual booted it with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.3.

The problem I am having is that I cannot get the sound to work at all in Ubuntu. No opening sounds or anything else that I have tried. No Web sounds, no CD sounds... All sounds work fine on the Windows side, but nothing I have tried so far seem to work with Ubuntu & I have tried many options from many threads.

Ubuntu :: Mysterious Lack Of Connectivity After Server Reboot?

Jun 23, 2010

Every time I reboot my server, it no longer connects to the internet. It is dual-homed with an internal and an external interface. Both come up. The internal connection works fine. Nothing happens on the external interface. Ifconfig shows that both interfaces are setup correctly. My iptables settings are properly restored. Forwarding is automatically enabled. For some reason packets do not go anywhere on the external interface. This has been true ever since the upgrade to jaunty I think (now running lucid).

Once I restart the external interface it works perfectly (eg ifdown eth1; ifup eth1 or /etc/init.d/networking restart). The problem only occurs after a reboot and only occurs on the external interface.

Here's my /etc/network/interfaces file:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Unable To Get Sound-test To Play Sounds As Well As Connect To The Sound Device In Vmware And Play Sounds?

Nov 5, 2009

I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with my sound in OpenSuSE. I put in a brand new Audigy chipset soundcard and finally got some sound to come out of the speakers. I used the guide here: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE. to fix the permissions on my sound and am able to get sound-test to play sounds as well as connect to the sound device in my vmware and play sounds. That being said, I have terrible sound quality coming out. There is a lot of static sound like white noise and the volume of the actual sound played is very low compared to the noise. The sounds also distort somewhat.

I have tried the pulse audio change in the tutorial above also and have been searching around google. The only problem that I saw similar was a person who fixed the problem by updating KDE. I don't have KDE, I'm using Afterstep.

Fedora :: Get No System Sounds ?

Aug 2, 2010

At the moment i'm dual booting Mint9/Fedora 13 (both gnome). Although sound works fine in both, i've noticed i get no system sounds in Fedora, other than at log in. I've done all the usual checks in sound & pulse audio, everything is unmuted etc etc, seems to be set up fine. There's even more sound options than Mint in usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo.

Fedora :: Cannot Play Sounds In F14 With KDE 4.5.5

Feb 6, 2011

For some reason I cannot play sounds anymore. It worked fine, but it just stopped working and I have no idea why. Might have been an update, but I'm not sure. I really have no idea what to do, restarting certainly didn't do anything. I use Fedora 14 with KDE 4.5.5. In the system settings I can chose "Internal Audio" as Hardware with a couple of different Profiles, of which none work.

Fedora :: Event Ids And Associated Sounds - Failed ?

Feb 11, 2010

With /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play set to --id='desktop-login' in the startup Applications dialog one expects a sound to play at login. This is not the case with fedora 12. I set the variable to --file=/home/me/sounds/myloginsound and I got sound.

I'm curious as to why the event id failed. I suspect that id was not linked/associated with any sound before fedora 12 was released. How does one troubleshoot sound event ids and their associated sounds in f12.

I'd like to get audio when I log out as well. I recall seeing a dialog box with events and associated sounds in f11 (or was it f10?) .... I don't see it in f12

1. Does anyone know which package adds that functionality?

2. In the absence of a GUI approach, how can this be achieved (with the terminal)?

Software :: Installed Fedora 12 And Sun JRE / No Sounds?

Jun 25, 2010

I installed Fedora 12 (and got it up and running - wow) and installed the Sun JRE. I tested the thing on ... Runescape, and got no sounds...ya know, the birds, the chopping sounds, the works.
I checked in the hardware tab of the sound app and did not find ALSA there, though it is (possibly) installed, as I have used the alsa mixer.

Any clues as to get the sound going? This is killing my current project.

Fedora :: Gnome Login Sounds Distorted

Aug 29, 2009

I am running latest fc11. the startup sound (desktop-login.ogg) always plays distorted. it plays a chord or two, slight pause, plays another chord, etc.. skips about as much as it plays. i found if i run canberra-gtk-play with the ogg file from a terminal, it plays fine. i changed it to play /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav, but it also plays distorted during startup. plays fine from a terminal or thru natilus. i have installed the pulse-audio through the "perfect" guide.

Fedora :: Unable To Play Media Sounds On HP Laptop - F14 KDE

Jan 24, 2011

I just installed Fedora 14 (running KDE) on my HP DV6Z-SE. It came pre-packaged with Windows 7 and I am running a dual-boot (I kept Windows for gaming purposes). Anyway, problem is I am unable to play media sounds. I've tried playing my music (all OGG Vorbis) on both DragonPlayer and VLC, to no avail. When I go to Phonon, I have two options for prefered devices, "Redwood HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5600 Series] Digital Stereo (HDMI)" and "Internal Audio Analog Stereo".

When I test them, the Radeon one never plays sound, while the Internal Audio plays the test sound sometimes (rarely). I tried moving the latter up the preference order, but it changed nothing.

Fedora Installation :: Window And Button Sounds - WABS Are Very Loud

Jun 11, 2009

I've just installed Fedora 11 and have noticed some funkiness regarding "window and button sounds".

Here are my observations: (All found using "Sound Preferences")

If "Output Volume" (OV) is set to max, and "Alert Volume" (AV) is set to max, the "window and button sounds" (WABS) are very loud. This seems to be correct.

If I begin to move OV to a lower slider value, the WABS become quieter twice as fast as other sounds (such as ..... videos). However, all sounds seem to get quieter in some sort of inverse curve. (As opposed to the more normal linear fashion.) At about 50% level the WABS are non-existent and other sounds are way too quiet.

Now here's the funky thing. If I leave OV at full and begin to reduce AV, whenever a WABS is heard, the OV volume temporarily reduces to the AV level until the sound is finished.

And here's the uber funky thing: If I reduce OV by 25% and AV by 50% and an WABS occurs, the OV volume temporarily changes to a 75% reduced volume. This mathematical relationship remains true until the combined value is greater than 100% reduction, at which point the speaker icon temporarily shows a mute icon (small red "x") and no sound is heard. (This can be seen in "Sound Preferences" and the Gnome-Panel icon.)

Another thing I've noticed is the "Master" slider in "Advance Volume Control" hits rock bottom when the "Sound Preferences" slider is only at 50%. (The terminal based alsamixer has the same behaviour.)

On a positive note, enabling Japanese input was by far the easiest it has ever been on Linux, or even Windows. Awesome! Let's just hope this iBus thingy isn't too buggy... Nyuk, nyuk!

I'm not sure how to find out exactly what my sound chip might be, but it's some nVidia nForce2 doohickey.

Fedora :: VLC Media Player Plays Choppy Sounds After F11 Update

I went to ..... and tried some vids, nothing's wrong and F11 still plays the usual system sounds. I have deleted and reinstalled VLC but to no avail. Unforunately, i did not know what i updated as there were just too many updates and i just acepted them all, maybe i shld not do that next time

Debian :: Mysterious Folder Called "file:"?

Nov 19, 2010

A folder called "file:" appears periodically in my home directory.It contains an empty mirror of my home partition's directory structure down to my user folder, under which is an empty Desktop folder. Deleting it causes no obvious problems. My home partition has an XFS file system and I think this is somehow related to that since I've never seen it on an ext3 home partition.

Ubuntu :: Mysterious Windows 7 X64 Crash After Rebooting From Ubuntu 11.04?

May 15, 2011

I've been dual booting Ubuntu based distros and Windows 7 x64 for a couple of years now, but since installing Ubuntu Natty I've been experiencing a strange problem. Every time I reboot from Ubuntu and load Windows, Windows will always crash and reboot shortly after reaching the desktop. This even happens in Safe Mode, but if you simply reload Windows after the crash it works perfectly. The only error report in the event viewer is a kernel-power one stating that the system shut down unexpectedly. I'm not even getting a BSOD.

This only started happening after installing Ubuntu 11.04, but even so I thought this must have been a coincidence up until now. However, after a lot of testing it really does only happen after rebooting from Ubuntu. If I load Windows from GRUB straight after switching my PC on, it works fine. If I reboot Windows after this and boot straight back into Windows, it works fine. I can only assume that Ubuntu is doing something weird to the Windows hard drive without appearing to mount it.

Software :: Access Computer A's Shares As Well As The Third Computer, The Aforementioned Computers Cannot Access Computer B

May 28, 2011

I have three computers in my network, but two will be mentioned. Computer A is a Linux Mint 9/Windows 7 dual-boot, and I have just installed Mandriva Free 2010.2, which I will call Computer B.

Now my main problem is that Computer B, while it can see and access Computer A's shares as well as the third computer, the aforementioned computers cannot access Computer B. The message was: "Unable to mount location/Failed to mount Windows share." Now, the SMB protocol was used because of the third computer and Computer A have Windows OSs installed in them.

What I originally wanted was that I can share Computer B's NTFS partition, namely Documents and Downloads, to the other computers. And I can't do that, because of the error message.

What I can do, however, is use Computer B to view shares from the other two computers (Computer A, as an example). By my experiences in Linux Mint, I understand that I'd have to mount my Windows partitions in order to share them. I don't even know if my NTFS drive in Computer B is mounted, though that is what was described.

Ubuntu :: Can't Turn Off Sounds

Jan 18, 2011

I just installed ubuntu studio and it looks better than ever. I have an ice1712 soundcard and I have NEVER had it work on ANY linux distribution that used pulseaudio (I'm guessing that this problem has been around for at least two years) so I proceeded with my usual way of fixing things which is to just get rid of pulseaudio. Well it worked like a charm, uninstall pulseaudio, reboot and there's my sound. Here is my problem, I went to >system >preferences >sound to turn of the system sounds. I get a message, "waiting for sound system to respond" Does anyone know how I can make these sounds go away. I'm happy to try anything.
