I want the volume to change when I plug in headphones, because my netbook's speakers are really quiet but the earbuds I have are really loud when I plug them in. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Netbook Edition on an Asus eeePC 1005HA, if that's important.
View 1 RepliesI have Debian wheezy, and win xp, installed on my Toshiba Satellite P205-S6337 laptop. The laptop speakers do not work when the computer starts up, but they work in windows. After fiddling with the sound preferences and making sure the volume was turned up with alsamixer. I tried plugging in headphones.I could hear sound on the headphones. Then when I unplugged the headphones the laptop's built in speakers work again! This wouldn't be such a problem except I have to plug in and unplug a pair of headphones to make them work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use Logitech USB headphones with KDE4 OpenSUSE 11.4 on my laptop computer. They work perfectly on Windows 7 and on my friend's Ubuntu with Gnome. After plugging in the headphones, I went to YaST sound module and configured them with automatic configuration. Next, I switched the primary output to headphones in KMix and muted the internal audio just in case. The output is correctly directed to the headphones but the volume is too low. It is at maximum in KMix but it is still too low to listen to anything.
Using the buttons on the headphones displays the volume gauge on the screen but it doesn't do anything. I've taken a look at the Phonon configuration GUI and it doesn't offer any useful options except that playing the test sounds on headphones confirms that the volume is too low. I'm not eager to use command line tools for sound in OpenSUSE, but I'll try if it's the only way. I'm not even sure how exactly the whole driver/OSS/ALSA/PulseAudio/Phonon/KMix hierarchy works. I once ran alsaconfig on my desktop OpenSUSE 11.x and it absolutely destroyed my sound settings.
I have a Dell Latitude D830, with an intel sound card (see below), and I'm having problems with the granularity of volume control off the headphone jack... In particular, I find that if the combination of master volume and headphone volume is too low, then the headphone jack just stops outputting...
(I.E. Put master at 100%, and I can take headphones down to a few percent, but the lower bound of the headphones is still way too loud, or vise versa, put master at like 10%, and the hadphones will only output for about 80% to 100% range) This is problematic as I use earbuds, and anything over 30% is pretty deafening... I ran gentoo on this laptop for a couple years, no problems, and originally installed debian stable, that worked fine, then changed to debian testing, and ran thru a massive package update and kernel upgrade, and afterward, volume control problems...
cat /proc/asound/cards

Ever since upgrading to Karmic, I haven't been able to adjust master volume when my USB headphones are chosen as the output device. If I try to adjust my master volume (via the media keys on my keyboard or gnome-volume-control), the output volume doesn't change until it's entirely muted. I can adjust the master volume fine when I'm outputting through internal audio.I am able to adjust the volume fine on an application-specific basis, but this becomes quite a nuisance, especially when I switch between internal audio (where master volume is regulated) and USB audio (where master volume is always at full-blast). This worked fine in Jaunty, and stopped working once I updated to Karmic. My USB headphones are listed as "Storm HP-USB500 5.1 Headset".

I used to have F12 where everything worked perfect, recently I've changed to F14 (complete reinstall) and I noticed that my speakers don't work and the sound through the headphones is to quiet.It is as if F14 doesn't recognize my sound card?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running squeeze (last updated today), and everything has been working great. There is only thing that would simplify my life minutely..Anybody know how can I have the volume buttons on my laptop change the "pcm" channel volume rather than "master"? If they could control pcm, then I could adjust the volume coming out of my headphones or my computer speaker (both controlled by pcm, but not master...seems strange to me) with just one click.I tried to find this info online, but all results seem to refer to an older version. The simple "click here, set this" solution no longer is possible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust wondering if anyone else experienced this. I have been using Ubuntu for half a year now and I love it. I just installed Kubuntu Desktop to try it out and I found that I can't get near as high volume with it than I do with Ubuntu. Ubuntu is even way louder than the Windows that used to be on here.
So why is there a change in the max of volume? I am a huge music person and that is the only thing holding me back from getting rid of gnome. I like how fresh and clean KDE is.

Removing usb headphones (I tried two brands) from my computer while the volume pop-up is up renders Ubuntu completely unresponsive, it crashes. It leaves behind a black screen with a single underscore at the top left and my mouse pointer (although once it froze with the everything intact, just frozen - did X crashing or something?).I believe it's not that I'm changing the volume, but the pop-up that is crashing things. If I wait for the pop-up to disappear, everything's fine and it doesn't crash when I remove my headphones.
So I removed notify-osd, restarted, and sure enough, that familiar volume pop-up went away. However, it was replaced by its ugly cousin (see attachment), which suffers the same crashing problem. So I was hoping someone would recognise this pop-up and know what package it came from so I can uninstall it (I was just messing with my sound, so it could come from some pulse-audio utility, jackd, fluidsynth - any of that junk).
I want to create a small simple application that will let me change the Output of the Sounds option to go from speakers to my headphones. I can do this easily enough through System --> Preferences --> Sound, but I'd like to create a GUI front end for me to do this. This is more as a learning exercise than anything else.What is the best language for me to build the windows to do this? Also, how do I find the commands to let me toggle the sound settings? Where are they documented? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

When I plug in the headphones into the headphone jack, the sound plays through the headphones but it also plays through the speakers as well at the same time. I've attempted to play around with the sound settings to see if I can get this issue resolved but I have not been able too. Computer specifications are in my signature.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to change the name of one of volumes/partitions from "New Volume" to "Photos". I had two "new volumes" and it was getting confusing. Thinking this would be an easy process I went into nautilus (gksudo nautilus) and right-clicked on the icon representing the volume, selected Rename and typed in "Photos". I now cannot access that volume from Ubuntu but I can from Windows XP (where it is still labelled "New Volume). When I try to access it I get the error message: "Cannot mount Volume. You are not privileged to mount the volume 'New Volume' " This is the readout from fstab:

How do you change the volume of the terminal alert bell in F11? (the sound you hear when you press the tab button). I turned the sound all the way down and muted the "Alert volume" in System>Pref>Sound but I still get a deafening bell sound whenever I press the tab button.

Banshee have crashed 3 times 'til now when I try to change the volume inside the program. It happened only 3 times, but now I'm afraid to change the volume and change it directly with the speaker's controls.One more question. When banshee crashes, all the system gets freezed. I tried with the console (CTRL+ALT+F1) but I don't know how to kill the banshee process.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 after having been on windows again for a few years. It's not coming back as easily as I'd like.Anyways right after the install I noticed flash crashed when I tried to enter fullscreen. To fix this, I deselected hardware acceleration (per some other post on here, sorry can't remember to give credit).Now when I'm in full screen, it freezes the video if I try to change my volume level. Sound continues to play but the video doesn't move and I can't exit fullscreen or bring up the player bar at the bottom of the screen.I think this has more to do with the volume indicator coming up than the fact that the volume is changing i.e. anything that popped up like that would cause the problem.
