I have upgraded to 11.04, but now I can't seem to disable system sounds. There used to be a window under sound preferences where you could select the sound for various events, like when you type and you hit a limit in the input field. I can't find where I can disable certain system sounds, which I find very annoying. I use Ubuntu classic.

lenny gives me either system sounds, or other sounds like flash plugin sounds like videos, cd playback etc., but not both. to hear videos i have to disable system sounds. as soon as i tick enable software sound mixing (esd) in system -> preferences -> sound -> sounds, videos goes. a message saying it could not open the resource as something else is using it comes up when trying to play a cd. sounds like a threading problem in some program. what should i do to get sounds to be equitably shared by all?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a HP laptop model HP G72 Notebook PC, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 350 @2.27GHz & the Sound devices are Intel(R) Display Audio & Realtek High Definition Audio.
This machine came loaded with Windows7 & I have successfully dual booted it with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.3.
The problem I am having is that I cannot get the sound to work at all in Ubuntu. No opening sounds or anything else that I have tried. No Web sounds, no CD sounds... All sounds work fine on the Windows side, but nothing I have tried so far seem to work with Ubuntu & I have tried many options from many threads.
Any recommendations for changing or updating the system sounds in Ubuntu? Seriously, love the distro but absolutely cannot stand the stinkin' bongos that go off every time the system boots or I log in.I've tried changing them and have some of the sounds updated in 10.04, but, can't seem to get them all.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt the moment i'm dual booting Mint9/Fedora 13 (both gnome). Although sound works fine in both, i've noticed i get no system sounds in Fedora, other than at log in. I've done all the usual checks in sound & pulse audio, everything is unmuted etc etc, seems to be set up fine. There's even more sound options than Mint in usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using opensuse for about a week.(although I'm not completely a linux noob) I've been slowly moving more of the stuff I do on windows over to suse. I thought my sound was working fine until I decided to get mp3s running on amarok. I followed a bunch of guides which didn't work. While I was messing around with stuff I noticed a startup noise. I just assumed it didn't have a startup noise. At some point I broke all of my sound except running wine, so I reinstalled.
Now that I've noticed, none of my notification sounds work. Stuff like skype, firefox, and wine still give me sounds.
(If anyone could point me in the direction of a good place to get mp3s working on amarok would be nice as well.)
I'm happily using recordmydesktop-gtk. What I can't figure out is if it's possible to record other then sounds from microphone even system's sounds. For instance, if I start recording while a video is playing in totem I would like to record video sound too. Otherwise if I'm recording some action with windows or programs I would like to record warning/error sound too.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been unable to get Pulseaudio and ALSA to play nice together, so I have completely removed the former as Skype defaults to using it and nothing else. I also want the ability to play HDMI 5.1 HDMI passthrough through XBMC etc, which again, would not work with pulse.
However, removing pulse means that I no longer get system sounds (the intro music etc), or any sounds coming through the browser - Chromium - (i.e. when using Flash (.....)). I have searched around the forums a fair bit, but either there is not a solution (but there must be!), or my Google-fu is well below par (more likely!).
I am using the Creative X-Fi Surround sound card and a Samsung 5.1 Home Theater system. When I play back MP3s, or system sounds are played, the beginning of the audio is cut off. The nature of the cut-off is that audio fades in instead of just starting. It's only the fraction of a second, but whenever sound is played after a silence (i.e. also in songs that have short silent breaks, like Roxette's "The Look"), the beginning of the audio quickly fades in. So in "The Look", instead of playing
Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na na she's got the look
It plays:
[%fade in]a na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na na she's got the look
Any ideas what is causing this? I already turned off the suspend option for Pulse audio, but it happens whether I use Pulse or ALSA for output.
I cannot get my audio to work except for system sounds. No music or video sound?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
My sound was working fine except I couldn't get system sounds (notifications) to work. So I decided to install pulseaudio to see if it would fix it. Now I get system sounds and my other sounds, but now in most things (such as firefox and warcraft 3) the sound is choppy. I've tried SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE and a couple other things I've googled but it's not working for me. I'd like to be able to fix it or at least go back to the way it was.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to set up a machine to use as a movie/video viewer. When I connect this machine using an HDMI cable to an HDMI TV, I get video, but no audio. No beeps, no system sounds, no noise of any kind.
I've run the following mixers and set all volume controls to maximum:Gmixer, Kmix, AlsaMixer and pavucontrol.
When playing a video, pavucontrol meter shows signal from the application and shows output signal to the HDMI device, but where that output is going to is beyond me.
Using the Sound setup of Yast, I attempt to play a test sound on the HDMI, nothing.
Built in Audio adapter works fine. I have disabled it in pavucontrol in attempts to get the sound directed to the HDMI output, but, silence is all I get. I've also tried enabling and disabling simultaneous output with no difference in results.
I've tried a few suggestions from other posts with the same issue (creating /etc/asoundrc.conf, modifying /etc/pulse/default.pa), but no joy.
If I boot up that other operating system (starts with a W), all sounds (system & video) show up on the HDMI input with no adjustments needed.
Why must this be so difficult?
The technical details:
Suse 11.4
EVGA GeForce 8400GS Video card (HDMI)
All commands below were issued while HDMI cable connected, and video playing (using VLC).

I'm trying to record a video with sound through FFmpeg, and while it records the system sounds just fine, it doesn't record the microphone (in fact, it crashes on doing so!). The strange thing is that if I use arecord, it works just perfectly, but through ffmpeg it crashes.This is the command that I use to launch FFmpeg:
Code:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
-f x11grab

My sound was working fine until 2 days ago, but now it just doesn't. I can't play any songs, but I can get the system beep and the "master sounds" (if you run alsamixer it's the first column that I'm talking about). It seems that my sound card is recognized. I followed quite a few instruction I found online, but nothing seems to work. A couple more details:- If I go to System -> Preferences -> Sound, in the Input tab there is no device for my sound input.
- If I type "sudo aplay -l" in the terminal, I get the following:
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1

I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with my sound in OpenSuSE. I put in a brand new Audigy chipset soundcard and finally got some sound to come out of the speakers. I used the guide here: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE. to fix the permissions on my sound and am able to get sound-test to play sounds as well as connect to the sound device in my vmware and play sounds. That being said, I have terrible sound quality coming out. There is a lot of static sound like white noise and the volume of the actual sound played is very low compared to the noise. The sounds also distort somewhat.
I have tried the pulse audio change in the tutorial above also and have been searching around google. The only problem that I saw similar was a person who fixed the problem by updating KDE. I don't have KDE, I'm using Afterstep.
Upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 using standard Update Manager procedure. Now I get a sound (thump) in my speakers for almost every button click. The sound theme in System / Preferences / Sound is "No sounds". I would like to completely disable any "activity" sounds from the OS, but nothing works.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSince upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, Ubuntu One insists on trying to synchronise every time I boot into Linux. When I want to log out or shut down I get the message that I can't because Ubuntu One is synchronising. The thing is, I don't use Ubuntu One and don't even have an account. But the control panel doesn't seem to let you change any settings without first signing up. So, how do I disable Ubuntu One from doing anything at all when I log into Linux?
Sorry if this has been asked already. I tried searching but it said that all my search terms were common words.
I just recently switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu + KDE and I can't for the life of me find a suitable 'msconfig' replacement.My issue in particular is with the 'krunner' process which I want to replace with 'synapse', but I just can't seem to find where to disable 'krunner' from starting up with the system.The 'Autostart' module in 'System settings' shows nothing. Also 'Pidgin' and 'Cairo-dock' start with the system and I can't find where this information is located. I'd like two things: a way to easily manage applications and services running when the system starts up, and a way to prevent the 'krunner' process from starting up again.
