General :: Set Minimum Volume In Alsa?

Sep 25, 2009

Dell eStudio 1737, has good maximum volume, but when I turn down the volume to a little more than 1/2 way, it is already very low. All other volume controls are already set to maximum. What I would like to do is fix the volume control so that the volume can be set across the entire range of the Alsa mixer control.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: PCM Volume Not Affected By Master Volume Control With Alsa

Mar 7, 2011

I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 32 bit on an old DFI KT600AL motherboard based system using the onboard VIA 3058 AC97 audio (because it supports front panel audio connections and none of the add-in PCI soundcards I have do). I have an old Gateway/STB TVPCI TV tuner card (mainly wanted the FM radio part to work) hooked up to the cd audio connector on the motherboard because the digital audio over the pci bus apparently isn't supported for this card (neither is the onboard analog mixer on the tv tuner card, I had to hack a CD-ROM audio cable and solder it to the audio outputs of the tv tuner module on the TV tuner card). When I use the master channel as the master channel (selected in Kmix) then as one would expect it affects the output volume of all other audio playing on the system except that which is being handled by the PCM channel. On Windows the PCM channel was also affected by the "Volume Control" slider such that ALL volume levels were reduced when moving the slider. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to make it work like this on Kubuntu.

First off I should warn you that I (like many users of older hardware that is not properly supported under PulseAudio) have uninstalled PulseAudio (because it's garbage) and am using Alsa to manage my audio hardware. I would think that there would be some way to do this using the 'amixer' application to add the PCM channel as a component of the 'Master' channel so that when the volume is turned down using the 'Master' channel control it will affect the PCM channel too (at least the output to the speaker jack, not necessarily the capture or mix volume though), but I'm not really any good at doing things from a terminal window and the options for the amixer command kind of confused me.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Alsa Resets Speaker Volume On Boot?

Apr 15, 2010

Every time I boot into my laptop, there is no sound. Going to alsamixer in a terminal shows that the "Speaker" volume is constantly getting reset to 0, and bringing it back up fixes the problem. How can I get Alsa to remember to keep the speaker volume above 0?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Volume Control Not Working After Alsa Upgrade?

Apr 7, 2010

My internal mic on sony vaio was not working on karmic 64bit. After I followed these instructions [URL] (updated alsa to 1.0.22) I got the microphone working, but now mplayer does not play any sound (although it plays files), as it tries to use pulse by default. However when run with -ao alsa, it works fine.

Other than that, the volume control has not effect on the sound, so every time I need to control it using alsamix.

When I remove pulseaudio, everything seems to be working, except gnome-volume-control and gnome-volume-control-applet do not start, and the keyboard volume controls dont work.

Here are the sound cards I have:

Code:
progre55@progre55:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC262 Analog [ALC262 Analog]

Ubuntu Multimedia :: USB Headset Volume Settings In ALSA Mixer?

May 20, 2010

I have a Logitech clearchat pro usb headset and it works really well. However every time I plug it in I have to turn up its volume in alsa mixer. Also so that the right volume slider is controlled (by the volume keys) I have to change the output in pavucontrol. Does anyone know of a way that I can make this happen on its own? I guessed writing a udev rule might work (not that I have ever done one), but I don't know the commands that are equivalent to what I do.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Volume Control Resets Alsa-speaker Settings To Max?

Nov 25, 2009

I have 5.1-speaker set, confed succesfully with alsa. alsamixer -c 0 -command shows volume of all the speakers I want to set up. My problem is, when I have alsamixer open and change main volume from gnome-panel (it's called pavucontrol for me, pulseaudio?) it "resets" all speakers to max (100%). Only master volume changes like planned. For example, if I have front speakers set to 50%, center to 75%, surround to 100%, subwoofer to 40%, when changing volume from gnome's panel it only changes master volume, and puts every other speaker to max. How to prevent this? Do you have any clue? I had not any problems with this in openSUSE 11.1. Alt+F2 not working with Emerald decorator Screens go black after 10 minutes or so in openSUSE 11.2

Ubuntu Multimedia :: ALSA Volume Control Tray Icon Wanted

Jan 17, 2010

I had to remove Pulse Audio to get my sound working in X-Plane. After installing ALSA, sounds perfect, no complaints. One side effect is that now my Logitech keyboard volume controls don't work, and I no longer have that nifty tray icon. Can I fix this, and install a tray icon for ALSA? Also my Sound link says, "waiting for sound to respond" when clicking System>Preferences>Sound, can I fix/remove this?

Hardware :: Alsa: Set Gnome-volume-control-applet To Master Channel?

Nov 6, 2010

On my Fedora 14 system, the gnome-volume-control-applet manipulates the Front channel, rather than Master (or PCM), which means I continually have to use alsamixer in terminal to adjust the audio volume in the other channels.In earlier version of Gnome (pre-pulseaudio?), this could be configured in the volume control preferences, but no more.Anyone know how I can fix this?My audio adapter is pretty standard Intel stuff. lspci: ode:00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller

General :: Minimum For Firefix And Java SE Only?

Jun 6, 2011

After working for about 15 years on MS Windows, I have decided to to change over to Linux. I have a current netbook with 1 GB RAM. The only work I would be doing on the netbook are:

1) Surfing Internet using Firefox browser.

I would avoid saving anything on my disk while browsing. If I need to open files, videos, then I would be opening them directly in the browser while I am connected to the internet.

2) I would be writing code in Java using Java Standard Edition (not the enterprise one).

Those Java programs may need to use the network, graphics, sound- actually the programs will need to use any available Java API/Package/methods available in the Sun distribution of Java.

Now, For the above to jobs, I want to install the bare minimum, smallest linux on my netbook. I mus mention taht I do not want any Linux package/program/library that will not be required for the above two jobs. To rephrase this, I want to have only those linux components that are absolutely necessary for the above two jobs (Surifng the internet with full power on Firefox, and developing Java programs which may use _any_ functionality that is provided by the Sun distribution of Java Standard Edition.

General :: Bare Minimum Crash Proof Distribution?

Jan 21, 2011

I have a very powerful I7 Intel processor. On this computer I want to simply run an instance of Apache Tomcat (dedicated server) running a java application with a bunch of things like mail server, servlet container, jasper, etc. Some versions of linux have too many features that I do not need. I do not want the clutter of features I will never use. What is the bare bone version of linux distrib? would that be debian?

These two distributions seem to be popular elsewhere on the internet:

CentOS 5 (64-bit)
Ubuntu Linux 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron (64 bit)

General :: Minimum And Typical Requirements For All / Many Operating Systems?

Mar 2, 2011

I wanted to test my first and relatively small SSD hard drive (32 GB) and started wondering how much disk space do I need for Windows XP SP3 and Fedora 13 installation. I started searching for information and created my own page listing loosely system requirements, because it seems to be difficult to find minimum and especially typical installation disk space consumption.

Has anyone made a single page listing minimum, typical and recommended system requirements, so you can easily use that single page for comparing operating system requirements especially how much hard disk space is needed?

I have recently been forced to do a hardware upgrade (my previous mobo died). Now, sounds works ok with,amarok because kde has recognized the new hardware and switched to it.

..... does not work, likely because flash uses alsa-oss which is probably not configured automatically. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both alsa-oss and flash, but it didn't solve the problem.

All I have done is copied some files to my handy drive. So I am not sure what process is keeping my handy drive busy.Is there any command that I can use to see what process of anything else is using the handy drive?

alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss

General :: Audio Output - How To Configure MPD For ALSA

Jan 30, 2010

I just got rid of pulseaudio because it breaks in so many different situations. I've switched to Alsa, and all of my sound is working except in mpd. It seems like I have to set audio_output in /etc/mpd.conf. Here is my config file:

audio_output {
type "alsa"
driver "pcm"
name "whatever"
}

When I start mpd, this is what happens:
$ sudo mpd --no-daemon --stdout --verbose
playlist: play 1:"Party Playlist/01 Block Rockin' Beats.mp3"
decoder: audio_format=44100:24:2, seekable=true
alsa: default period_time = buffer_time/4 = 371519/4 = 92879
alsa: buffer_size=16384 period_size=4096
output: opened plugin=alsa name="My MPD Alsa Output" audio_format=44100:24:2
playlist: queue song 2:"Party Playlist/01 Umbrella [Feat. Jay-Z].mp3"
output: closed plugin=alsa name="My MPD Alsa Output"
^Clisten: listen_global_finish called
db_finish took 0.000000 seconds

And I hear the song play for less than a second before the audio_output driver is closed. There really aren't any error messages printed explaining why it's not working. I've also tried "oss", "esd" and "ao" for the audio_output type, and none of them work.
