Ubuntu :: Audio Files Skip Every Now And Then
Jul 6, 2011
Strange problem from a couple of months, Audio files skip every now and then. Sounds like buffering issue. MP3, Wav etc. all skip on VLC, Qamp etc, once in a minute or two, its quite random. i thought there was CPU spikes or something by some program i installed. I checked the system monitor and found no unusual spikes in the CPU... so i am thinking this must be the audio buffers. Can i set the buffers for the for the driver or something? my machine is: Dell Inspiron Mini netbook Ubutu lucid 10.04, 2bg RAM, 260GB HDD

GNU/Linux kernel 2.6, Slackware 12.0
MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.1.2
GNU Bash 3.1.17
I've got a set of MP3 files on dir .../foo/ and I want mplayer to play them sequencely but skipping some of them. If I run 'mplayer *' this will do but ofcourse won't skip any files. I think a shell script could be written to do that. It would be something like this (using some pseudocode):
#!/bin/bash
#After an example from Intro_Linux by M. Garret.
LIST=$(ls *.mp3)
[code]....

I am trying to create an RPM package. However when the RPM package installs, it need to skip some files that might have been created by the user after the last installation and use of the program. Is there a way to build RPM package that just skips the user created content in the installation dir.
For example:
lets say my RPM package creates the following dir and creates files required by my application, say .app files.
/ppm/config/
However the user may also create a few .xml files in the same dir. How will I package my program that will not delete the .xml files from the above dir and will just create the application files (.app files).

How would i go about copying files to a directory, yet skip the files that already exist in the directory, and also remove the files that are in the directory. For example:
Code:
$ls /dir1
img001.jpg
img002.jpg
[code]....
Now i would like to copy from dir1 to dir2, but the contents of dir2 would be:
Code:
$ls /dir2
img003.jpg

I have installed this program ok but I am new to command lines in terminal.
I want to convert some wav files to wma files. I have the wav files currently in a folder called Test to make it easy. So I have entered the following command line:
ajpearson@ajpearson-laptop:~/Desktop/pacpl-4.0.5$ pacpl --to wma home/ajpearson/Desktop/Test and the error message I get is:
error: the following is not a file or directory: home/ajpearson/Desktop/Test
It does not matter what directory I use I get the same error. I am sure the answer is obvious - but not t me.

What would be a nice, simple command to go through all files in a directory (no sub-directories), and change all the MP4 Video files I have to MP3 audio files (keeping the original filenames except for changing the "mp4" extension to "mp3")?
The files in question were videos taken with one of those Flip cameras, but I only need the audio off of it.

Setting up a linux based church server to be placed with a collocation host.
-- Server will be used for:
--- providing .pdf files
--- live streaming of church services (audio for now audio video soon)
--- providing audio files
--- providing audio-video files
--- our internet web site
A. Is there a preferred Linux distribution that will make this easier?
B. What is the best format for audio and video files that will be viewed variously on Linux, Mac, and Microsoft operating systems? Files will need to be played on older versions of operating systems and may need a free or very low cost software to play (e.g. play on Win2k)
C. What software is best for recording the audio or audio-video files? Some additional funding might be justified for this software, particularly if it can also support live streaming.
D. What software is best for live streaming both on the file creation and the listening-viewing sides of the process?
Ideally we would like to have a single software suite to live stream, and make downloadable audio or audio-video files for later download, and not require those listening and viewing to have to install additional software. Keeping file sizes small is also desirable because some of our users will probably only have dial-up internet.

Does anyone have a recommendation for embedding audio files into PDF files? I'd like to use this to provide feedback on student papers. Acrobat full version does this, but I'd like to stay in Ubuntu.

I have an android phone. The voice recorder records files in 3gp audio only format. I can play these on my computer with the standard gnome player and with vlc. However, audacity won't open it up. There is an error that says that FFmpeg should import it but it didn't understand the format. I need to edit some of these audio files for use. Is there a way to convert these files to mp3 or flac so I can edit them? Searches turn up w32 ware and some arcane mencoder commands but they have to do with converting video.

A friend of mine has downloaded an album from itunes for me because I could not do it from Ubuntu. Afterwards he sent me the files.
Is there any way I can burn these files to an audio CD from Ubuntu?
Also... Can I just put these .m4a files on a USB stick along with my .mp3`s and expect all car radios to be able to play them?

Is it at all fathomable to play .qcp files on Ubuntu 11.04? I REALLY want to... I recorded this totally amazing trumpet player, and I need to play this audio to learn more.
"There is no application installed for RIFF audio files." Is what I get when I double click it.
WAIT! VLC does it! OMG YAY! With skips in the audio How can I convert to mp3
Download this: [URL]
It converts any mobile file to a file of your choice, it worked PERFECTLY for my .qcp file, converted it from qcp to mp3 with no problem, no skips, full file.

AVI movie files aren't playing well in Ubuntu. I get audio but the screen stays black, there's no picture. I downloaded VLC player and mplayer and neither of them work. Same thing: Black screen with audio. Is there a codec pack out there that I should download or something?

I put all my dvds on my "media center" by converting them to .MP4 with handbrake.
Recently I saw that with a MKV file you could do soft subtitles. I tested a part of a movie, and the audio and video are very out of sync.
With MP4/burned in audio everything is ok...
Edit: Ow yes I'm using XBMC for playing it. MP4 + MKV files are both H.264, they have the exact same settings except for subtitles...
Weirdly Enough: I tried another video and at this one the audio is in sync....

This was my favorite media player because it played all the files I could throw at it. However, in Fedora 12 it fails to run my .avi or .mkv files. I may have forgotten something, like some driver or codec, but movie player plays them well. I have VLC in Mac and it plays the files without question. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm running Fedora and Gnome on a laptop and I'd like to play an audio file. I installed xmms and the mp3 plugin via yum, and started xmms amd tried to play the file. The progress bar advances as if the file is playing, but there's no sound in my headphones. I do have gnome volume slider bar set to the highest value. I tried running alsamixer and the volume is set to the highest level (however +/- causes alsamixer to exit, and not change the volume level like the F1-Help page says). What can I do?I tried the Gnome filesystem browser and clicked on mp3 or wav file which brings up the totem music player. Again, the progress bar advances as if the file is being played, but no sound.

For the longest I have been unable to burn an audio CD that contains ogg files with GnomeBaker, and have always had to decode to wav manually. Well I'm tired of doing that, so want to get to the bottom of the problem. Upon adding an ogg file to the file list, the error I receive is:
"The plugin to handle a file of type audio/ogg is not installed." I have all the gstreamer0.10-plugins-[base|bad|good|ugly] packages installed. I can play an .ogg file with rhythmbox.
Using gconf-editor, /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/profiles/cdlossy is "active" and the cdlossy profile is listed in /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/global/profile_list At a loss on what I need to do.

a movie is encoded with AC3 in 6 channel audio, what I get out is all of the sounds except for voices, which in 5.1 would be sent to the center channel. What I usually do is fire up avidemux and convert the audio to mp3 stereo, as converting to a 5.1 format usually ends up with a very odd sound (like running everything through an echo chamber). What I'd like to do is run a script to batch-convert these files from AC3 to MP3. The video format may vary, but they are usually XVID. I am comfortable at the command line, but I am not well-versed in audio/video tool terms. I don't need anything extravagant, I just want something that works. Heck, even if it is done one at a time, having a shell script that I can use to simply type:
tool.sh inputfile.avi outputfile.avi
