OpenSUSE :: Use Skype With A Mixer Like Dmix?

May 29, 2010

i've just created a new .asoundrc which uses dmix. So i can use it in KDEs systemsettings. And all Programs can use the sound devices at the same time. The only Program who makes trouble is skype. If i hear music or watch tv and an skype systemsound comes, i must restart the Soundtrack. Now i have seen that skype uses ALSA. But if i set the default settings, skype would like to have exclusivly access for the sounddevices. Exists any way, to use skype with a mixer like dmix, so all applications have collaborative access to the sound devices.

Ubuntu :: Pulseaudio And Mixer - Change The Microphone/speaker/ring Devices In Skype?

May 14, 2010

Due to the fact that with pulseaudio it is impossible to change the microphone/speaker/ring devices in skype, I had to remove pulseaudio.

After that I can choose a device in skype, but the mixer does not work anymore. There is a way to have a working mixer without pulseaudio package or a way to choose audio devices in skype with pulseaudio installed?!

Hardware :: When Using Dmix Not Able To Play The Stream?

Jan 26, 2010

I should mention that the card actually works and I am able to play sound through all the different out pouts, analog, Adat etc. But what I am not able to do is to use the 8 channels digital adat outputs in 4 separate stereo channels.

If I try configuring my asound.conf with 4 direct pcm devices:

pcm.stereo1 {
type plug
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}

[Code]....

but when using dmix i am not able to play evan one of the stream, and the I receive an error saying:

ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:978:(snd1_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) unable to install hw params
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize slave
aplay: main:608: audio open error: Device or resource busy

Software :: Audio Cutoff When Playing Using Dmix?

Sep 8, 2009

I am facing audio clipping issues when dmix is used for playback. For the test we used a full scale sine wave tone generated using software and encoded as "Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono". The audio is getting cut out at a 2-3 second interval during playback. This happens only for a fraction of second but it is consistent. This does not happen when audio is played back on the device directly but only when going through dmix. We have observed that there were differences in audio cutting off when the sampling rate was set to 8000Hz and 32000 Hz in asound.conf. The contents of asound.conf is pasted below for your reference:

pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 2048
ipc_key_add_uid true

[code]...

Does this occur due to non-optimal settings of the parameters (buffers, periods) in the configuration or is it some other issue with the ALSA library or the kernel? Please ask if any more setup/configuration settings are required for reference.

Fedora :: Phonon And ALSA DMix Doesn't Work (F11)?

Sep 2, 2009

I'm using F11, KDE4. I have uninstalled Pulseaudio as it's unusable for my configuration (2 souncards, one of them a M Audio Delta 66). In order to not have Phonon blocking my M Audio Delta 66 card I need to use DMix. The built in ALSA dmix support doesn't show up in Phonon (System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference) but I found out after some research how to add your own dmixer in the ~/.asoundrc file. Here are a few links:

http://noneus.de/?p=50
http://ptaff.ca/ptaffgnu/2009-07/124...dmix_et_phonon
http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Setting_up_Dmix_for_ALSA
http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin#7...e_ICE1712_chip
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474259

[Code]...

It might depend on the way it tries to access this device. When you hover the "DMixer" device it displays it will try the following devices: 1. ALSA: dmixer I think it should rather be ALSA: plug:dmixer But I can't figure out where you are able to configure this, does anyone know? I also wonder how I can remove the Pulseaudio entry in phonon. This is not important but still though PA is uninstalled. There is a Remove button but it's always disabled.

Programming :: Play Multiple Sound Streams On ALSA Dmix?

Jul 31, 2010

I'm having trouble getting ALSA to play multiple sound streams (multiple sounds at once). My code is running on an embedded ARM board using a AC97 sound. It will only play one without any mixing, I have to use pure ALSA as higher sound mixers are a nightmare to cross compile for ARM. I've tested my system with aplay for example

aplay -D plughw:0,1 bang.wav

works fine. So I tried dmix with

aplay -D plug:dmix Win.wav

That gave the following error

ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:1587snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_gid must be a valid group (create group audio)
aplay: main:550: audio open error: Invalid argument

I checked asound with

/etc # cat asound.conf
pcm.EP93XX {
type hw

[code]....

Does this mean dmix will not work? Is there someway with the above setup I can play multiple sounds? I have to use the vendor ALSA build (so can't update ALSA), I can change the .confs however. Also because I'm cross compiling things like pulseaudio SDL are very difficult to get working, so I basically need to use the above ALSA. Is there anyway I can find if dmix exists on the system?

Should add aplay -L does show dmix ?
iec958 'cards.pcm.iec958'
spdif 'cards.pcm.iec958'

[code]....

OpenSUSE Network :: Skype 2.2 On OpenSUSE 11.4 Mic And Video Not Working / Get That?

Aug 28, 2011

I have a fresh install of openSUSE 11.4 with KDE. This includes ALSA and Pulseaudio.

I have a mic and speakers and a webcam. As far as I can see microphone and sound reproduction work, the webcam also works:
- I can arecord and aplay
- KMix works
- amixer and alsamixer work (I am using microphone boost)
- test sounds play
- the webcam works in "Personal Settings (Configure Desktop)": Hardware > Multimedia > Phonon (test camera)
- Pidgin and Empathy work with sound and video.
(had to set this: gconftool-2 --set --type=string /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc,
without this setting it was set to alsasrc by default and Pidgin and Empathy didn't work).

I installed Skype 2.2 (also tried 2.1) and tested the video camera in Skype. Result: doesn't work.
I made a test call: I hear the voice of the lady answering the call, but my own voice is not recorded.
In Skype everything is set to use Pulseaudio.

I am at a total loss to understand what is going wrong here. Why does Skype not work, when everything else does??

I made this observation:
When an application records something, a "Capture stream" shows up in the KMix "Capture Streams" tab. For example, when I use arecord, "ALSA capture" shows up, while I record. When I make a call on Empathy, a capture stream shows up in the said tab.

When I make a Skype call, NO capture stream shows up, so obviously Skype is not capturing anything.

Ubuntu :: Bluetooth And Skype \ Make A Call Using These Headphones With Skype, Can Speak For Say 10 Seconds And Then The Headset Disconnects Completely From The System?

Aug 12, 2010

I recently bought a IOgear USB bluetooth adapter and a Sony DRBT101/BLK bluetooth headphones to use with my computer.Whenever I try to make a call using these headphones with skype, I can speak for say 10 seconds and then the headset disconnects completely from the system. I then have to reconnect the headset by switching it off and on. I do not have this problem listening to music using A2DP. It works fine with my mobile phone.When I change the profile to Telephony Duplex (HSP/HFP), it shows up as hands free, I thought it should be headset in blueman manager. My friend uses Plantronics headset with is Dell laptop with built in bluetooth and he says his comes up as headset not hands free. Could this be causing the problem?

Jun 6, 2010

Anyone using Skype as an IM client? I only use very basic functionality in IM, and I like Skype's interface, but can't find any info how to set it up, import contacts etc.. I got my copy from skype website, installed fine and easy...I am using kopete atm, don't like it. I have used pidgin before, didn't like that (I am a KDE user) either. On windows I have used Trillian, liked previous versions, but they keep upgrading and making it "better" or as I think, "worse"

OpenSUSE :: Segmentation Fault In Skype?

May 5, 2010

Some time ago I had to reinstall all my packages under 64-bit OpenSuse 11.2. After that I can't get Skype working - Skype always gives me "segmentation fault" when trying to execute it (from command-line).

I've followed steps recommended in wiki, I've tried different versions (32-bit as well as 64-bit RPMs) downloaded from different repositories (including old 1.4.0.xx). Nothing changes anything.

I don't have any webcam and I've never had one, so I guess it cannot be related to that.
