Slackware :: KDE4 Can Only Play One Audio Stream

Apr 2, 2010

Every KDE4 application seems to take over the sound card. If I'm playing a song in Amarok and launch Dragon Player, the song stops. If I'm playing a song in an xterm using "mplayer -ao alsa" and then launch Dragon Player, the song stops. Most annoying of all, if I'm playing music in _anything_ and then a notification sounds in Kopete, the music stops.However, if I launch two xterms and play two different MP3s by running "mplayer -ao alsa" in each one, both songs play. So software mixing is working with my sound card.

This made me wonder if KDE is outputting music through OSS instead of ALSA. Well, KDE's audio backend is set to xine, and xine is outputting through ALSA. Under System Settings->Multimedia->Audio Ouput, the only devices I see.

Slackware :: Cannot Play Audio CD On 13.0 KDE 4.2.4

Feb 24, 2010

I use Slackware full-time on my personal machine, a Lenovo T61, and I've used Slackware happily for the past 15 years. I've always been able to find answers to my questions by searching, but this time I'm stumped and find myself posting my first question ever to a help site. Recently installed Slackware 13.0 out of the box, which has KDE 4.2.4. I've added myself as a regular user, and made sure I'm a member of the audio and cdrom groups. I've configured sound with alsaconf and alsamixer, and sound works fine when playing digital files (audio and video). I can mount data CDs and DVDs, and read them with Dolphin. When I insert an audio CD, I can't get any application to see it, except for the "Last plugged in device" widget, which only gives me K3B as an option to rip the CD - no option to play the CD. If I allow K3B to launch, that application can see the tracks. KDE 4 does not have good support for playing audio CDs. I've seen various suggestions for fixes that relate to udev, HAL and adding actions. I'm out of my league here, as I'm a casual user, not one who can dive into these details. My guess is that udev is OK because K3B can see the audio CD. When I look at /usr/share/apps/solid/actions, I see the following:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2871 2009-03-26 07:42 test-predicate-openinwindow.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2385 2009-04-02 23:16 k3b_videodvd_rip.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 861 2009-04-02 23:16 k3b_create_data_project_from_blank_medium.desktop

[code]...

There are no actions that appear to relate to start playing a CD, so I think this is where the problem lies, but I'm not sure, and if it is, I don't know how to fix it. Things have gotten a lot more complicated over the years...Playing an audio CD should be a simple task, and I'm embarrassed that it's taking so long to debug this problem.

General :: Slackware 13 Can't Play Some Audio

Jul 4, 2010

I recently upgraded to slackware 13, and I discovered that the only things I can do audio wise is play audio CD's and adjust mixer volumes. I have a DELL C600 with a Maestro 3i soundcard. I am able to use the laptops advanced volume controls and I even played with the builtin KDE4 mixer over and over again. I have also unloaded and reloaded drivers. Is there a step I am missing? I even tried to test a wave file with "aplay", and that program locks up until I hit ctrl+c.

Slackware :: Flash Player Not Play Audio On Particular Recording

Apr 28, 2010

My flash player has stopped playing back audio on a particular TV show recording. Movie is fine but no audio. It's fine with every other movie. However, I notice I can play that same tv show in windows, which has to discount a problem with the station or their movie files. The slack package used to play this tv TV program until recently.

Code:
[URL]
Do you think reinstalling the package would fix it?
i.e.
Code:
slackpkg remove flash-player-plugin-10.0_r45-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
then
Code:
slackpkg install flash-player-plugin-10.0_r45-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

Ubuntu :: Streaming Audio - Capture Outgoing Audio On Windows Computer - Stream It Across Wifi To Netbook

Sep 20, 2010

I am fed up of listening to my (Windows XP) gaming computer through headphones so I want to get it hooked to the stereo.

Rather than use a heck of a lot of wire, I can sit my Ubuntu 9.10 netbook on top of the stereo and stream the audio across WiFi.

So, ideally what I am after is something to capture the outgoing audio on the Windows computer, stream it across the wifi to the Ubuntu netbook and finally play it through the speakers.

Slackware :: Can't Play Movies In VLC - Doesn't Support Audio Or Video Format XVID

Feb 23, 2011

I like this linux distribution more than the others that i have used, because is more stable for my work. But there are some little problems that I can't solve. I'm using it with a laptop HP G60 and i can run OpenOffice, Mozilla and some other programs (python, grass, qgis) that used for work at the office, but when I go home and want to watch a movie with my girl, listen some music or any other simple task, i find a lot of little problems:

1. Adjust the bright of the screen, the Power Management Guidance don't do it and I really need it.

2. Can't play movies in VLC "No suitable decoder module. VLC does not support the audio or video format XVID. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this"

3. And today I can't play music because there is a message "KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed" this is: Output HDA Intel, INTEL HDMI 0 (HDMI Audio Output)

I know maybe these problems are stupid but in windows is easier to fix them. I'm tired of search in google because i just find solved problems for Ubuntu and it takes a lot of time.

Software :: VNC And KDE4 Do Not Play Nicely Together

Jan 24, 2011

This setup used to work:
MS Access running under Win2K in a virtualbox on a Debian machine. Win98 running on a 230MHz PC using VNC to use the MS Access. The Windows PC is upstairs, the Linux boxes are downstairs. I have not used this setup for about a year or more. Since then KDE 3.5 was vandalised and renamed KDE4. I upgraded the Virtual machine to Win XP.

Now the Linux boxes are not accessible via VNC. All the client gets is a grey screen. This goes for Linux-Linux and Windows-Linux connections. I can connect from the Win98 to the Virtual machine but the connection is slow and the display is poor. I have gathered that VNC and KDE4 do not play nicely together. I would prefer a "least effort" solution for the time being. Later on I can set up a Linux box to replace the Win 98 one.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Audio Choppy - Can't Play Any Audio With Amarok When Desktop Effects Are Enabled

Jun 7, 2011

to start off, i'll post the specs of the machine:

dell inspiron e1505
3.2 gb ram
1.86 ghz intel core duo
ati x1400 gfx
opensuse 11.4 kde 32 bit.

okay, here are the details: can't play any audio with amarok when desktop effects are enabled because the minute a window is moved, it will distort the audio. even when disabling desktop effects, some applications still cause this. can't play videos videos even with desktop effects disabled because of the same reason.

i just switched from ubuntu and when i ran version 11.04, i had to disable kms to do anything. i tried on opensuse 11.4 and the audio was flawless but the gfx went all to hell.

Software :: How To Stream All Audio Through VLC?

Feb 7, 2011

We have remote offices and we'd like all announcements in one office to stream to the other offices, to play on the speakers connected to VLC machines there. We can stream audio with VLC when working with a file, but how would we stream all audio produced by a single machine?

Ideally this would stream anything coming in from AUX/Line-In jack, as well as any other sound that the computer would make. I'd prefer to use cvlc (CLI version) rather than the GUI VLC, but whatever I can get would be good.We can run either Debian 5.0.x Lenny with 0.8.6.h-4+lenny2, or Debian 6.0.x Squeeze with 1.1.3-1squeeze2

Fedora X86/64bit :: 14 Cannot Play More Than 1 Multicast Stream

Aug 17, 2011

I have a project to run simultaneously up to 8 video streams, from a pool of about 100 multicast cameras, and display them on 4 monitors. The PC I am using is a brand-new dual CPU 4-core Intel Xeon E5620 2.40GHz, Intel S5520SCR motherboard, 8GB memory and nvidia Quadro NVS 450 graphics. It's running Fedora 14 64-bit and outputs on 2x2 LCD monitors using Xinerama. So far, so good.

Playing a single video stream from any camera works fine. The problem is that, when I open a 2nd media player window with the purpose of playing other camera, all those two video windows play a single stream. It doesn't matter which camera stream I opened first, as soon as I open a 2nd stream, both windows show the same stream (either the first, or the second, at what seems to be a random choice). Further, a 3rd or a 4th video window will also play the same stream. In other words, one stream sort of "contaminates" all the other streaming windows to play that particular stream only. The problem remains the same even when the following changes are applied:

- graphics driver: nvidia or nouveau;
- video player: vlc or mplayer;
- number of active monitors: 4, 2 or 1.

I am really puzzled because, on the same computer, Windows XP SP3 32-bit runs beautiful. I can smoothly play up to 12 video streams and some computer applications, simultaneously. I cannot believe that an obsolete OS such as Windows XP can outperform by a long shot Fedora 14 64-bit in video streaming projects. Just doesn't make sense.

Note: I have also tested Windows 7 64-bit, it also runs multiple video streams in parallel without any problems, but Win 7 has issues that XP is free of (such as graphics output glitching every few seconds).

OpenSUSE :: Capture Audio Stream In VLC

This plays fine in VLC, and there's a "Record" button there but I'm never prompted to save the recording anywhere. I wandered through preferences but didn't see any default capture directory fields.Where/how do I capture the stream for playback later? The docs that I've stumbled across so far are pretty outdated (but I'm still googling).

Software :: Play Quicktime Stream - Can't Find Plug-in

May 19, 2010

I want to play a Quicktime stream and can't figure it out. When I try to play it either in Firefox or Movie Player, it says I need a text/html decoder plugin, but doesn't find one from the autosearch. Downloaded Ubuntu Restricted Extras from the Software Center, but no luck (don't know if I'm supposed to "do" something after that). MPlayer doesn't work on my computer, and I've also downloaded Avidemux, thinking maybe I'd get the right codec or plugin, but again, no luck. I am on Ubuntu 10.04 on an Eee PC, if it makes a diff.

Debian Multimedia :: Need To Adjust Fps In Audio Stream?

Oct 17, 2015

im creatind dvd's from others hd movies and ive seen theres an option to adjust framerate in audio, but ive never using that and i dont see the difference, when i play the video i see audio is syncronized with the video.for example, for a movie with 23,97 fps i converted to PAL (25fps) and i dont do anything to the audio, and it plays sicnronized then ¿Its neccesary to sync audio, and how its done with ffmpeg?

i do somethin like this: ffmpeg -i source.mkv -target pal-dvd -acodec copy mydvd.mpg (is audio fps syncronized because of the target?)if i dont use target, should is use sb like this?.: ffmpeg - i source.mkv -r 25 -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec ac3 -r 25 output.mpg

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Stream Audio From One Machine To The Other

Sep 16, 2010

I have two networked Ubuntu 10.40 machines and I am trying to stream audio from one machine to the other. I find on the surface everything works - I simply installed padevchooser and set the pulseaudio sink to the other machine. Now here comes the problem - whenever I do anything else involving network activity the sound crackles and hangs and it becomes hopeless. I've seen people elsewhere online complaining about crackling in relation to CPU usage but I can't find anyone talking about network usage.

In particular I often work on my office computers over VNC. I try to fire up VNC and it starts to load the remote desktop and the sound completely fails. I assume this is some kind of latency issue? Another good example is trying to watch a video on ..... - the sound plays at first but then as the video is being downloading in the background the stream starts to mess up. Listening to an mp3 in totem with no other network activity works fine.

Networking :: Possible To Stream All Audio From One Computer Over Network?

Jan 12, 2010

I have a MacMini connected to the big-screen tv on one side of my living room. I have my gaming computer on the other side of my living room. I often use VNC to control the Mac, so I don't have to get up to change which iTunes playlist I'm listening to, or play a movie, or whatever.I would like to be able to do something similar with the audio.Here's my problem. Sometimes it's really hard to get the volume just right when I'm at the far end of the room. If I increase the volume to a level where I can hear everything, it sometimes annoys the neighbours.

So, is there a way I can stream all the audio from the MacMini so I can listen to it using a Linux laptop at the far end of the living room without annoying the neighbours?Because I want to set this up for watching movies, it needs to be fast enough to stay in sync with the picture.(It might just be easier to run some speaker wire across the room, but I like to try to do things the hard way first. Heh heh heh...)

There is the occasional 1 that will not have the correct audio stream however. I've tried -alang, -slang, aid, etc. to no avail. Here is my script (also in case anyone else finds it useful), but can anyone offer any suggestions on how to get the correct audio in my avi? When I open the vob in mplayer, I get English.
