Ubuntu :: Is There Sound Mixer That Works With OSS Applications As Well?
Apr 4, 2010
I'm trying to configure PulseAudio using the official guide and can't get past the first step where it tells me to input pulseaudio -nC.
1. How can I get into the PA console/daemon to use the official guide
2.If I can't get PA setup correctly, is there an ALSA sound mixer I can use to modify sound levels for various running applications.
2B. Is there a sound mixer that works with OSS applications as well? Most apps these days are ALSA, but some older ones (like Wolfenstein Enemy Territory) use OSS.

I have installed xubuntu version 10. My sound card is a Yamaha dS-1S, and seems to be properly configured. Alsa mixer doesn't indicates any error. However, I can't manage to get any sound. I have checked that jacks are correctly plugged.

I have used it for some times but never went behind basic use to use Internet, save files, write documents with OpenOffice...
I just installed the 11.2 version in 64-bit. I previously used a 11.1 version, and on which sounds worked fine.
I do get the login and logout jingle, and CDs play fine as well.
My problem occurs when I try to watch a video on Internet, so with FlashPlayer, and also when using Skype: I get neither the notification sounds, and a test call tells me I have a problem with the audio device.
When I point my cursor on the "sound" icon on my control board, it tells me the sound is at 0% even though it works for the above-listed tasks.
Here is what my computer has (from "system configuration"), including the last two lines I get when I click the "advanced" option:
HDA VIA VT82xx (VT1708 Analog)
HDA VIA VT82xx (VT1708 Digital)
HDA ATI HDMI, ATI HDMI (HDMI audio output)
PulseAudio
HDA ATI HDMI, ATI HDMI
HDA VIA VT82xx, VT1708 Digital(IEC958(S/PDIF) Digital audio output)
Everything has this same preset configuration: notifications, video, etc.

Using Kubuntu 10.04 here
I've been trying to make my microphone work and so I've pretty much messed around with the mixer (KMixer), mainly adding channels to the "equalizer" and checking and clearing "capture" boxes. After I did that my sound "disappeared" - I have no sound whatsoever (not even Kubuntu's initialization sound).
How can I fix this? Is it possible to go back to the "default" configuration?

I have got my headset connecting to the system using the BlueMan interface. When I first did this it gave me a error about not being able to put the sound on-top of 'pulseaudio'. Well this well about the last straw between me and Mr. 'PulseAudio', so away he went. I removed the demon via this instruction. [ubuntu] Safely Remove Pulseaudio?
I then tried connecting to my bluetooth headset again, no errors. But the bluetooth sound device does not show up in any mixer, or application. What else do I need to do to get this working again. I know my hardware is fine, it used to work in the previous version of Ubuntu and it all works on my wifes Windoze XP computer.

I am experiencing problems with the Gnome ALSA Mixer. I installed Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro inside Windows (I am running Windows via bootcamp), and when I am running Ubuntu the sound doesn't work. After researching the problem online, I was told that one needed to download an application called the "Gnome ALSA Mixer", and switch the mute to off (apparently the mute is default). I downloaded the application, but whenever I try to run it the application window is blank. There are no controls of any sort. I was told when installing Ubuntu inside windows that the disk efficiency (I think thats what is was) is very much reduced, but I don't know if this has anything to do with that.
Also, is there a way to prevent the trackpad from registering stimulus while typing? I find it very obnoxious that every time I try to type in my password or the like that the curser clicks off of where I'm typing, so I am constantly having to move the pointer back and re-click in the area I'm trying to type in (if that makes sense).

Im using Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha1. I plugged in a set of headphones, and it cut out my speakers. I know how to fix this in Alsa Mixer, but the command for it obviously isnt the same as Karmic.
I type Alsa Mixer, it says Usage: /sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume}
Anyone know a way to open A.M. that it will.

I just bought an HP Pavilion dv7-1273cl and it works excellent except for the sound and the webcam, the result for lspci is as follows:
lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset PCI Express Graphics Port (rev 07)
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03)
00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 03)
00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 03)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
Gnome volume control shows that HDA Intel(Alsa mixer) is selected and as a default the speaker is muted, if I unmute it, an infinite loop-like sound plays and no application seems to have access to the sound, I believe the correct module is installed by default, and the webcam does not work as well. I'm using debian squeeze i386.

I used to watch and record TV in Vista and Win7 with a SAA7134 capture card, and all worked fine. Using TVTime in Ubuntu 10.10 64bit (no upgrade but fresh install, everything up-to-date), I get picture but no sound. Instead I get this error message when running TVTime from the terminal: Can't open device /dev/mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable.Using lspci in terminal lists the card as following:
Code:
02:01.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)
And dmesg outputs this:
Code:
[ 16.078404] saa7130/34: v4l2 driver version 0.2.16 loaded
[ 16.078458] alloc irq_desc for 17 on node -1
[ 16.078460] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1[code]....
Being rather new to Linux (oh great, another newbie ) I don't know what additional info you might need, but I'm more than happy to post everything neededd - provided you tell me how to get that info.

A friend has intalled Linux after a load of problems with windows. He very kindly installed my Edirol UA25 soundcard, and when i click 'test' on System-preferences-sound, it indeed plays a sound. The problem is that when I try to play anything from the internet on firefox, or any sounds in VLC, or any other application, it doesn't work. I believe I'm running Ubuntu Studio, version 8.04, but I am not sure. I have an Athlon 64 bit processor if that's relevant.

Obviously gdm3 loads something Slim doesn't, but can't workout what!Tried adding /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog & to my script - no dice, still no sound

I am on Ubuntu 10.10 on Thinkpad T61p
Recently installed my office printer with the drivers provided by them(office people)
The problem is that it works fine but only with few selected applications
Adobe Reader works fine Foxit reader fails Document viewer and image viewer prints the page but doesn't fit them inside the margins and they are either cut on the edges or look ugly
Printing from browsers doesn't work either. I always have to do 'print to file' in pdf format
Then pray rigorously that the pdf print is nice and then print using Adobe reader
where to start debugging from ?

I can play sound files with aplay, esdplay, and vlc, but I don't get any sound from iceweasel and chromium.
I installed a squeeze base system (without gnome and without the standard system utilities), then added (using --no-install-recommends) xserver-xorg-core, xdm, fluxbox, alsa-base, alsa-utils, alsa-oss, iceweasel, chromium-browser. Here I checked for sound and there was none from the browsers. I have since installed vlc, esound-clients, alsaplayer-esd, gstreamer0.10-alsa, and other software that didn't look sound-related and didn't change the symptoms.
Setting ICEWEASEL_DSP to "aoss" or "esddsp" doesn't help. Neither does "chmod -R 777 /dev/{audio,dsp,midi,mixer,snd}". snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss are loaded. Both my account and root are in group "audio". Running the browsers as root doesn't help.
This is the output of chromium:
In case it makes any difference, all of this happens in a qemu-kvm virtual machine with an emulated es1370 soundcard. Same with sb16 soundcard.
I would prefer not to install everything vaguely related to sound in the repositories in the hope of things fixing themselves. That's just ugly, plus I have only 200MB free space left.

I am studying how to use Linux now on some websites and playing with an older desktop. I am anxious to give it a try! I am looking for an Linux program to help me with the following situation:
I send emails from my office computer, my dormitory computer, my home computer, my android phone and my symbian phone. Right now I use webmail but i want to be able to compose the emails in an offline mode and then send them at a later time. Now, I use thunderbird on my home computer to download all of the emails from my webmail account.
I want to be able to compose the email on the email clients installed on the various computing devices yet be able to consolidate not only the emails received but also the sent folders. I think what I am looking for is a Linux version of MSExchange. Is this correct? Can someone recommend one? I also want to be able to consolidate calendaring features and addressbooks as well.

I use a dark theme in gnome, which of course doesn't display correctly on many websites that force a white background onto text input dialogues (I have to type white or light gray on white) - Because of this, I never use a dark theme for more than a few days before I switch back to light, which really sucks - My workaround for this was going to be changing my Firefox launcher so that a custom GTKRC is used.
It works for all applications except for Firefox.
e.g. if I type into a Terminal:
Code:
env GTK2_RC_FILES="/usr/share/themes/Redmond/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" speedcrunch
or
Code:
bash -c 'GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Redmond/gtk-2.0/gtkrc speedcrunch'

I can't get a program (wbar) to run directly from my user account, it fails saying "Image not found -> maybe using a relative path?". But if I run su -c "wbar", it shows up and manages to load the image. I think it has something to do with ImLib2 or whatever loads the image. I checked permissions on libImlib2.so.1 and it's world-readable and executable. Can libImlib2.a be causing this problem, set to 644? What else should I be checking?

.
Its not only this, but there is no other sounds enabled - for mouse clicks etc

i have a problem: my sound works sometimes. i've tried fedora 13 and 14, tiny core, dsl, slitaz, (and now) ubuntu, etc., and i have the same problem.
the sound doesn't work in, for example, videos videos. nevertheless, when i start up ubuntu, the short "sounds" work. and sound also works on random situations, i.e in an advertisement.
i've changed the speakphones various times, tried not using any, etc., but it still doesn't work.
i've tried changing most of the settings in the "sound preferences", and it doesn't work aswell.
