Slackware :: Using Mumble 1.2.2 - No Sound And Microphone Not Working
Mar 28, 2011
I used Mumble 1.2.2 for a while on my Slackware 13.1 system without any problems. After some time (before 1.2.3 was released) it suddenly stopped working. A few days ago, I wiped my disk and re-installed Slackware 13.1. Compiling 1.2.3 worked. Running it just stopped with a "FUTEX"-Error. I searched the source code for futex (with "-i" parameter) and didn't found anything. There were matches in the compiled object files. So, it's probably something with Qt.
Then I compiled Mumble 1.2.2 and run it. Worked. But it didn't find my microphone. I can hear everybody else but I cannot talk. I tried every device but there is no sound. If I activate the microphone in alsaconfig I can hear myself, so the microphone seems to work. A few minutes ago, I compiled Mumble 1.2.3. You know what? It runs without any "FUTEX_WAIT" error. But, the microphone does not work.
When I started using Slackware I've been using USB headset. Everything ran perfectly fine. They got recognized, I could use all of it's functions and so on. Unfortunately volume control on them stopped working so I had to service them, and like in every third world country, yay I need to wait minimum three weeks just so they can press a button and say "Yup, they don't work".
I bought normal headset to use them while other one is getting fixed, and didn't expect any problems with them considering they are "old" technology, normal audio input and output.
Now problem is following, sound works fine but microphone doesn't. Once I managed to "fix" it by switching audio input from mic to something else and then back to mic, now even that doesn't work. Another... "problem" is if I leave my USB webcam plugged in while booting computer, there is no sound at all, ether on line ones or USB ones but I can easily solve that problem by unplugging webcam, rebooting and plugging it back in later.
Now everything ran fine until my computer shutdown while I was sleeping. Don't know why, but it started happening recently, don't see anything smart in logs so I assume its... something, read it could be cache, HDD, temperature and so on but since logs don't write down anything smart... will deal with it some other time.
When I talk I can actually hear myself on the headset, which probably means that they work. If I put mic boost all the way up, I can hear myself perfectly clear, but somehow... seems that that information just doesn't get to Slackware, well it gets somewhat considering that it reacts to me adjusting mic boost on KMix, but everything else... no.
Arecord doesn't record anything, TS register as microphone isn't plugged in at all, skype doesn't get any input ether.
A few days ago I decided to install mumble and create a mumble-server on my computer. So far the network requirements have been met, I have forwarded the necessary ports, etc.. etc... The only problem is mumble-server. As soon as I install it, if I restart my computer and run the terminal command
Code: $ murmurd The servers starts and the database (murmur.sqlite) and log (murmur.log) files are created. As for the ini file, I am able to specify an ini file found in my /home/MYUSERNAME directory, it will use that ini file. The server will be up, and me and my friends will be able to use it. I can kill the server and restart it without a problem. As soon as my computer is restarted, if i run the murmurd command this appears, whereas before nothing appeared unless i forced the server to stay attached to the terminal.
In ubuntu,my Microphone is not working , so I can't record sound or voice chat . It works well in windows. So it's not a hardware problem . Is there anything I can do to make it working ?
I have had trouble with my sound since installing. I have been able to get output sounds to work by setting my sound output to:Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC95 instead of:However, my microphone does not work. I know it was working earlier on but I can't figure out what the settings were at that time.Are there any ideas on what I can try to get the input and output audio working correctly?
I've tried to look for a solution for a few days now, and haven't had any results so far. I really hope you can help me so I can get to talk with my girlfriend.I'm running Lubuntu with 10.04 LTS, and alsa version 1.0.23 on Samsung NC10.Hardware works, soundcard is recognized by the OS, modules are loaded, alsamixer volume up and unmuted, sound output is ok, arecord or sound recorder don't get input.
- The microphone hardware works. Having the volumes up I hear the noise from the speakers when tapping the microphone. - Soundcard is recognized by OS (and like I said, music and all other sound output is perfectly fine)
I'm very keen on getting Mumble installed on my slackware -current 64 bit install. I found a slackbuild script for 12.2 here, but changing the version number resulted in failure. I also tried following the build instructions on the Mumble website, which failed with the following.

I'm trying to use an application (e.g., mplayer) to play sound that comes in my sound card (via the mic jack). (What I'm really trying to do is sync a sports broadcast by putting a delay on AM audio, as described here. I'm stuck at the part where it says "this shouldn't be too difficult".) I've seen some hints that there might be code-heavy solutions using LADSPA or some JACK SDK, but there's just gotta be a simpler way. I'm hoping for something like
Code:
mplayer -delay -7 - < /dev/mic
but I'm darned if I can find it. I'm sure there are plenty of other sports fans who would find this useful for syncing radio with the digital TV feed...
I was reluctant to start yet another sound thread, but after days of searching sites and reading mini HOWTO's I'm still mute. I have tried configuring ALSA via:
# alsaconf # /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start # alsamixer - all relevant sliders unmuted... # alsactl store
...and still nothing. KDE reports that 'Audio playback device ALC889 does not work.' My kmix app doesn't even start. At boot I get this message 3 times:
"ALL CONFIG FILES NEED /etc/modprobe.d/sound - it will be ignored in a future release"
Even starting xmms brings up 'Check that - your soundcard is configured properly/the correct plugin is selected/no other program is blocking the soundcard'. btw, Windows reports I have an ALC888, not a 889. KDE lists it as present as both digital and analog, and the legacy system (whatever it is) as well as esound, but none work. I certainly had no difficulty with S11.
I got a new (used) Sony Vaio VGN-SZ440, I installed Slackware-current x86. Everything pretty much worked out of the box, including wireless. The only thing that is not working is my sound (It is not muted I already checked :-p). Here is my lspci output:
After updating my system today, sound stopped working. VLC said I should update alsa-lib. Slackbuilds had none to offer, so I got the sources from http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page. It compiled and installed without problems, but the error from VLC states the same. Is my system the only one affected by the update, and how do I fix it?
I did, what one should not do: I changed a running system. I removed a PCI sound card, replaced a damaged DVD+RW drive and upgraded to Slackware-current (Slackware 13.37 RC-3). The mainboard is an MSI KT4V with VIA8235 onboard sound. Now, my problem is a bit weird: Everything seems to work just fine. E. g., programs like speaker-test, play and aplay show no error message. In fact, they seem to be able to play sound. E.
Code: play /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav gives no error message. But: I don't get any sound out of my speakers.Here is some additional information. I'd be really grateful, if someone could point me to relevant information or useful advise, what this problem could be caused by.
I am using KDE and Fedora 14 (13 had the same issue) and i can't capture sound from microphone or use skype. I tried to fix this with alsamixer - but it didn't helped me, lspci shows, that there is sound device
Code: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 8346 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 46 Memory at fe8f8000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
I'd like to know how to get off that noisy static sound from my microphone, because when I use my microphone on programs like skype, the sound static annoy the people who is trying to hear me.I've made some tests using audacity, and I can see that my mic sound is reaaly noisy.On my windows system with the same hardware, this doesnt happen.I'd be glad (and my friends too ) if I could solve this problem.
I have no sound input from my microphone. With a fresh install of 11.4/gnome desktop it was working.
Then all I did was installing the multimedia support from the script in the opensuse guide (which interestingly includes some files for k3b so I suspect there is a conflict of libraries now that some kde libs have been installed) and a full system update. After that, my mic has stopped working.
If it helps at all, the output of the ALSA Information Script at my machine is hosted at: [url]
Dell Inspiron with dual integrated mics. I get no sound when i try to record with the integrated webcam. I have everything turned all the way up in the mixer, ie: mic, capture, mux, etc but still no sound.
I use Ubuntu 10.04 but I had this problem in 9.10 too.
I have a problem regarding my sound preferences. I have a microphone and I want to use it to make calls. The problem is that when I speak into the microphone when a program like Skype is used, my sound suddenly crashes(The microphone won't take any input nor will I hear any sound from the speakers if I play a video or music. This gets fixed if I restart the computer). This also happens if I go to Sound preferences → Input or Output and edit something there.
If I don't make any of the above, the sound works just fine as I can listen to music and play videos.
I don't know much about computer hardware but here is some info about my sound card:
Code: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A[Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definifion Audio Controller) (rev 10)
I have the MCP55 HD Audio on board. Is there a way to configure the mic to mono, 16 bit with 16000Hz sampling as a system input. The signal will be read by the installed program pocketsphinx_continuous.
This is not to make recordings. I can make these settings in KRecord/KDE3. This is for the system input. The mic works with the program and KRecord.
I have a zoom H2 and I intend to use its usb microphone function.I connected it and it seems to work with xvidcap if I declare /dev/audio1 as the input device. Well.I want to go further and use it for other purposes and before installing jack and other applications I would like to understand why it does no longer appear in the "Sound preferences" under the 'input" and "hardware" tabs as it was the case the day before.
How can I echo the sound from the microphone to the speakers?
I.e., anything that is picked up by the microphone is played on the speakers immediately, without recording anything. Preferably with the ability to increase the volume.
I recently manage to make my microphone "work". I open the alsamixer and i unmuted the mic. Easy!!! But as i can hear my voice through the speakers i can't record. Actually i compare the alsamixer with the sound preferences. And what I notice is:
i)When i mute the output volume from the sound icon in the alsamixer is also muted.
ii)The same when I increase or decrease the volume.
iii)But in the input tab if I mute increase or decrease the volume nothing happens!
I can only mute unmute and change volume trhough the alsa mixer!
I use an Fujitsu siemens amilo pa 1510 with ubuntu 10.10 which I install from a pendrive.
My headphones jack is broken. I wonder is it possible to force a sound system output sound through microphone jack? As result I want plug-in headphones to microphone jack and get the sound. Or BIOS handle it?
I am trying to record using a microphone on a machine running Fedora 14. The microphone itself seems to work fine when plugged into a Windows laptop, and the Linux machine is able to play sound just fine. However, although I can record using the microphone (using arecord or audacity, for example), the recorded audio is super, super quiet. I have run alsamixer, and experimented with every capture source. Anything which had any effect (using arecord -vv to see the dynamic sound level) has been turned up to 100%. Still, recorded audio is barely audible.
I have run: yum reinstall alsa-utils alsa-plugins-pulseaudio alsa-tools-firmware alsa-firmware alsa-lib But that made no difference. I ran alsa-info, and the output is here: [URL]. Why my recorded sound is barely audible? My next step is probably going to be to boot to Ubuntu, just to see if it has the same problem.
I`ve problem with my microphone on fedora 14 with Gnome 2. When i try to use alsamixer command there everything is ok. I tried pulseaudio and HDA nvidia sound cards, but microphone don`t work. How to fix this problem?
I should create the bridge between a linear input and output. It is desirable, with possibility to impose effects on a sound. (But it isn't obligatory)
