everytime i use alsamixer command i get only the "Master" volume control, and i see the card its using is "Pulseaudio" so i press f6 to select the sound card and i found that i have "default" and "HDA SIS966" so i wanted to know how can i change that "default" to the HDA SIS966?.i tried pressing f6 and selecting the card but when i close alsamixer and run it again i get the "default" sound card again.
i left some pics, the 1st one is what i get when i run alsamixer, the 2nd is the options i got when i try to change the sound card, and the third is what i get with the card HDA SIS966 which is the one i'm trying to get as my default.
I'm using mythbuntu 10.10 with 2 pci tuner cards and 1 SB PCI sound card. My system is detecting my tuner cards as audio devices and making one of those my default sound cardWhich file do I change to make the SB card the default sound card?
I am having difficulty changing my default sound card in Kubuntu 11.04. I am able to use Phonon to change it for KDE applications; however, I am unable to accomplish this for VLC and Chromium.
I can not set default sound card for alsa. It detects my sound card and I can play audio with xmms when I config that to use alsa and my intel sound card, but other applications which use default alsa sound card, and also pulse audio, can not play any sound.
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).
I have 2 sound cards : one is on board and other is Creative sound blaster.I want to play sounds just on Crative.The problem is when I reboot the PC the sound is change,sometime the default sound card is Creative sometime is the onboard card.I want my default sound card to be only Creative.
I have an s series gigabyte Mother board (GA-EP35-DS3L/S3L) I have just ordered a 2.1 stereo system supplying a base and 2 desk top speakers. The default output settings on the board does not include left and right speakers. Is it possible to alter the default outputs on the internal sound card via ubuntu? Under windows there is some software gigabyte supply which enables reallocation of the output sockets. What is available for Ubuntu?
I recently installed a new sound card, and I need to find out how to change the default device. Currently, I'm dual-booting Windows, and I had re-enabled the on-board audio in the PC's bios. After doing that, Debian started detecting that on-board as the default sound device. Is there a way to set my sound card to be used instead? I found out that the 'alsaconf' utility has been phased out. I"m currently running Debian testing, for amd64.
I am using a laptop with a built-in sound card, but have a higher quality USB sound card that I plug in to listen to music. The problem with this is that I have to go through the sound options to change the sound card every time I plug the USB card in. what i'm hoping to do is write a simple script to do the job so that I only have to click an icon on the desktop. does anyone know the commands to do this?
My soundcard (a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music) is running with the unix-driver offered by Creative. But after a restart (without switching power off) I have to switch the sound device in xmms from ALSA to OSS. Also my tv card (an hybrid card from Hauppauge, WIN-TV HVR-1300) is only getting a signal after a restart, before there is no signal found. To get sound while watching tv I'm using one of the following lines, it seems to be random wich of them is working without error:
So it looks like a problem in loading the modules in correct order, but I'm not sure. Perhaps there is also a problem with my nvidia graphic card (see list below for the kind of card), that I have installed with the unix-drivers from nvidia's webpage. To solve this problem I'm now searching since september, when I got my new computer, including:
-graphics: Lead896 D3 X GTX260 Extreme+ -CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8500, 3166 MHz, FSB 775 -mainboard: Asus P5Q-E, P45 F G SA
My PC has the ASUS P7H55-M SI motherboard with the audio chipset VIA VT1708S. Under Fedora 13 (64-bit) I have no sound although the audio chipset seems to be properly recognised and supported by the OS.
I used the alsmixer application and I set the volume for all channels, including PCM to their maximum value but still I get no sound. When the OS boots I hear a "click" sound coming from the audio chipset when it is initialised by the kernel but then the sound stops and I hear nothing.
Note that I do not have this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 but I have the same issue with openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7. My guess is that F13 and openSUSE 11.3 having newer kernel/alsa software versions exhibit this problem due to some bug introduced to the code.
Here is some extra information:
aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog] Subdevices: 2/2
if so I shall have to abandon it again. I have a Motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2, which has an integral sound card. I can't put another sound card in as I have no spare slots.
After installing an external sound card, Im having some weird issues. The cards chipset is fully supported by suse, (CM8738) so I dont think thats the problem. Besides, I'm getting sound, but not in some applications. The system's sounds work just fine (login, logout themes) amarok plays without any problems, kaffeine, mplayer they all work flawlessly, in fact I can see the difference in quality between the onboard sound and my new card. However, no web browser is able to play any sound at all, firefox, opera or chrome, nothing,zip. Plus, vlc cant reproduce sound either, nor can smplayer.
I've tried switching channels on and off(muting)in kmixer and in alsamixer, on the console, with no results. I disabled the onboard audio on the bios before installing the new card, however my ati video card has integrated sound, which I cant disable.... I used to get this exact same problem randomly with the onboard sound, but I just had to go to kmixer and turn up the "pcm" channel volume, which was set to 0, and I had sound again on my browser. However this card's pcm channel is at max and turning it up or down affects the whole systems volume, not just the browser's. Is it better to just reinstall the sound system, if so how could I do that.
I can only get so far and then I find myself staring at the menu.lst (/boot/grub) in gedit. It looks nothing like the menu.lst in Linux Mint 7 and I know that tampering with the menu.lst could spell disaster. So how do I go about changing my default OS to Vista? I have been tinkering with distros for quite some time now but still not a pro.Take a look at what I got below.

Whenever I use lpr on the command-line to print a text file, it uses DejaVu Sans Mono as the font. Is there a way to change this? I'd like to use Terminus as the font instead. I found that CUPS uses Courier as the default font for text files, so somewhere Courier is being aliased to DejaVu Sans Mono, and I have no idea where.
I'm somewhat of a n00b. I have a dual boot machine running XP and Fedora Core 14. I like my default boot always to be XP. Right now, XP is default BUT every time there is an update to Fedora, it will change the default to Fedora. I now have to edit grub.conf to boot from xp again. Is there a way to make xp always as the default even after an update?
I installed Fedora 12 LXDE spin and its default session was LXDE. Then I downloaded XFCE and tried to change the default session of GDM to XFCE. I edited ~/.dmrc and /etc/sysconfig/desktop but this didn`t change anything. I was unable to find where GDM stores its default setting.
Is there any way to change GDM default session?
And more important: is there any way to make GDM to store different default sessions for different users?
I've followed the steps outlined in the Fedora FAQ regarding sound issues. I am attempting to play some MP3 files using RhythmBox, and there's no sound. I have dug a bit deeper. I've tried alsamixer, and when I press F6 (Select Sound Card), I see three entries:
- (default) 0 HDA Intel 1 HDA NVidia
I have tried selecting a different sound card. When I select 1, I see this text: "This sound device does not have any controls". I have an NVidia GeForce 480 video card, but it has been suggested to me that I don't want to use it for sound. My speakers are in my monitor. I would assume that has ramifications on how I set things up for sound within Fedora. I have used some kind of sound test utility by executing this at the command prompt:
"speaker-test -c 2 -t wav".
I hear nothing. I don't know what to do next. If anyone can IM with me using Pidgin, that would be perfect
I have a sata card in my RHEL5 server that is not working. It has a 1.5tb hard drive attached to it that I would like to use. It seems that the 2.6.18 kernel did not detect and use it by default. I was able to find some info about the
lspci | grep VIA 03:06.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller (rev 50)
I bought a Diamond Xtreme Sound 5.1 sound card because I had read online that this card was a good choice with Linux and came with universal driver software. I installed the hardware correctly (as it works with WinXP) but I'm not able to get it working with Ubuntu.
How do I change my default keyring password in F11?
The instructions from here no longer work:
Code: $ yum search gnome-keyring-manager Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit Warning: No matches found for: gnome-keyring-manager No Matches found Longer story:
Somehow I got my keyring and login passwords out of sync. I went to change my login password using passwd on the terminal. I meant to change it to (let's say) "abcdef" but typed "abcdfe" twice. Realizing my mistake I tried to used passwd a second time to change it to "abcdef", but passwd complained that the new password was too similar to the old. So I used "su -c 'passwd myusername'" - I was able to change my login password but I guess this did not update my keyring password. I've tried changing my password using passwd as myself (not root) to something completelydifferent, but my keyring password remains the first password (e.g. "abcdfe").

When I change it on desktop login as regular user to the right thing, then log out or reboot, I have to change it again when I log back in again. This is with an Audigy2 card, and onboard audio chip. I switch between the two for various reasons.
I'm trying to change the desktop to KDE so that it's persistent across boots. I did the usual thing of adding /etc/sysconfig/desktop and adding the appropriate parameters, but for whatever reason, whenever I reboot, it still loads Gnome. Now here's where it gets annoying: I can switch to runlevel 3, type startx, and then it will read /etc/sysconfig/desktop and load KDE properly. I've been banging my head against a wall over this one. Where is the call made to start gdm? I think I'll probably wind up changing the default runlevel to 3, but I'm still curious as to why those scripts are not executed on boot.
I've been trying to research this, but I don't really understand IP routing and it's bugging me that I can't fix this problem. I have a dedicated server (fedora core 7) with 3 IP addresses on the same eth0 interface. On the default IP address 62.193.226.127, there is some routing problem because I can't connect from the server to some other sites. Using one of the other IP addresses, like 62.193.252.129, I can connect fine. Additionally this address is better for sending mail because it coincides with the main domain name from which the mail is sent.My question is: how can I configure networking so that outgoing traffic from the box goes via 62.193.252.129?
I have old app that by default is looking for /dev/dsp as an audio device. The source is configured as such and I want to change that so sound will work on current versions of Fedora.
What is the equivalent of /dev/dsp in F15 ?
I think /dev/dsp was the default generic sound device .. ?
