When I record my voice, using the gnome-sound-recorder, I get an awful buzzing sound in the background. Altering the input volume or the output volume the recorder makes no difference: it makes the buzzing sound louder or quieter - but also makes my recorded voice louder or quieter.Can anyone offer me a solution that gets rid of the buzz whilst keeping the voice volume as it should be?
View 3 RepliesThis problem presented itself upon upgrading to ubuntu 9.10. Any time something affects the sound system the buzz goes away. If a song plays, no buzz. If I simply adjust or mute the volume, no buzz. But after 10 seconds of no sound related activity, the buzz returns. This is a very loud and aggravating buzz, most likely made worse by the fact that I run my sound through an amplifier.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy speakers are making continuous slight buzz sounds. I don't know why this is happening but when i am making my sound to mute all, the sound goes off. When I hear properly, it seems to be the sound of the hard-drive spinning sound, I couldn't under from where it is coming, its happening from past 4-5 days.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSometimes (quite frequently) during the normal use of my laptop (64bit Ubuntu 9.10), if I do not play songs nor anything else, I get annoying sounds, like when guitarists cable their instruments while ampli are on.Apparently this happens particularly when I open new windows or new tabs in my browser, when I shut down my pc, etc...
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I remove that annoying drum sound from the login screen.I went to PREFERENCES -> LOGIN SCREEN, but there are no tabs or boxes for sound. Only options to determine who I want to log in.I tried GCONF-EDITOR, and drilled down to /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/sound/active and unchecked the active box, rebooted, but it still plays that stupid sound. And the box is unchecked if I check it! I've tried the solutions in the forum and nothing seems to kill that annoying sound.I'm still on 9.10 right now, since 10.04 has a nasty screen flicker problem.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed 10.04 after about a year away from Ubuntu due to some windows specific software I needed to run while at school. Now that I'm back I'm having some trouble with poor sound quality with my Logitech 5.1 surround system.
I installed pulseaudio manager and was able to select the 5.1 system and I get sound out of each speaker, however even at relitavely low volume there is a ringing or buzzing sound on top of the music or video I play. It's almost like feedback, but I don't have any input devices.
I'm open for suggestions or ways to investegate this further. It isn't terrible, but it makes the audio sound really poor. Almost like I have a very poor quality file, which is not the case. I haven't had anything like this happen to the speakers in Windows 7 so I know it's probably not their fault.
I'm running the "Realtek ALC888" codec.
That was the return from: "head -n 1 /proc/asound/card*/codec#*"
I don't understand what is going on... If I listen music, the sounds quality is just perfect, but if I play quakelive, I start heard some annoying noises such as my headphone wire is damaged. how to remove it? Maybe something wrong with sound drivers? I use ubuntu 10.04 LTS version OS. Sound card is realtek (integrated to motherboard).

The sound stops and changes into a very choppy annoying sound. When I boot into the old kernel the problems are gone.

View 5 Replies View RelatedBackground: I'm digitizing an old record. I used Sound Recorder to make FLACs of each side of the LP, and now I need to edit them down to individual tracks. I'm using the development version of Ubuntu 10.04.
Problem: Audacity ignores these FLAC files when I attempt to import or open them.
The FLAC files play if I hover the mouse over them in GNOME.
Audacity gladly imports FLAC files I ripped from CD last year (using Sound Juicer I think).
But when I try to do the same for my recorded FLAC files, nothing happens. I tried running audacity in a terminal window, and there is no additional output when I attempt the import. This comes out when I start it:
Code:
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
Expression 'stream->capture.pcm' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 3653
Looking at the file properties, they're basically the same except the Juicer-generated file has values filled in for title, artist, album, year. They are all FLAC Stereo 44100 Hz. I thought it might be a file-size problem, so I made a 5-second test with Sound Recorder, and that also refuses to import.
So, why do only the ripped files work with Audacity?
Been using Sound Recorder and set it to save as:CD Quality, MP3(.mp3 type)but it saves it as, 40 kbps and shows the time as 9 minutes 33 seconds when the correct time is really 2 minutes 39 seconds!Is there some plugin that will correct this to show the standard (128, 160, 192, 320) Bitrates and show accurate song times?

I cannot say it is solved, as I don't yet see the drop-down menu in gnome-sound-recorder, but with PulseAudio I can perform the task, so it can be regarded as solved?

I have installed jack-audio, audacity and dependencies.
Is there any way of changing the recording sample rate in the GNOME sound recorder? It's set at 22050Hz, and I'd like to record at 44100Hz. I can't find anything in the GUI to set preferences, and I can't find a text configuration file to edit, either.I've tried rec and arecord, but they both give a similar message:
I made it this way so that I wouldn't get audio lag in programs, but it also means I can't play audio in more than one application at a time, apparently (with some odd exceptions). I just got it from a thread in the Ubuntu forums, and it's worked fine for me so far.I'm really clueless here, as I've never had to fiddle around much with audio settings (let alone ALSA) before. I'm guessing I have to add something to .asoundrc, but I have no idea what...
I basically can't get my mic to work in F12. After several releases fighting with pulseaudio, F11 finally worked almost OBO, after going to system->preferences->advanced sound configuration and setting all the input volumes to the maximum. But now there's no advanced sound configuration tool, and I just can't find anything to make it work. Skype isn't working, nor is gnome-sound-recorder. I do record some static, but nothing more. By the way, I'm on an Acer Timeline 3810T.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was just using the mic and watched it stop working suddenly. I was in the middle of a skype test call when the graphical mixer level died down to zero in the middle of the call. When the test call was played back, the first part sounded fine then the sound got lower until it became inaudible. Since then I can't get any sound from my mic in skype.
Also, the audio input level graphically shown in Sound Preferences shows no fluctuations in sound as it used to before. The input device is enabled. I tried using Sound Recorder to record some sound clips and that worked fine. So the mic is working but Sound Preferences and Skype seem to have the mic level really low. I'm not sure what else to think considering it was working perfectly a few minutes ago. I've tried restarting, but that didn't fix it either.
