Ubuntu :: Mixer Won't Work With U9.10 / Enable This?
Jan 4, 2010
Long story short... I have sifted through endless docs.. some that I understood and some that I didn't, I have posted in these forums twice (not one response) and asked my local LUG for ideas and I got nothing.
I have an audio mixer that I am desperate to get working with Ubuntu 9.10, and despite working fine with Vista (so I know it's not my hardware or Mic's etc.) I can't achieve this to save my life.
At this point, I would like to just go with what works and stick with Vista, but like a fool it was me who suggested to some long distance collaborators that we all try to use Ubuntu. Now I am the only one not working...
I am frustrated to no end here. But I figure I will ask one more time and pray that someone can help me here.
How can I get Ubuntu to accept my mixer as input for audio recording??
I should also state that I am having no other audio issues that I am aware of, and that the cheap, sounds like crap mic that is built into my monitor DOES work with Ubuntu. I need to change away from this mic as the input source and over to my mixer which is connected to my sound card.
Sorry to repeat myself here but I wish to stress that this configuration of mics into mixer into computer is something I have been doing for years on the mac and with windows so I know the problem here lies with Ubuntu. And like I say, I am dual booting now on an HP desktop with Vista and I have success with Vista.

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).

I have several computers based on ECS G41T-M motherboard, featuring ICH7 chipset with VIA VT1708B 8-ch audio codec. I've installed Debian Lenny 64-bit on it. The sound itself works, but mixer does not, thus, for example, I can not get my recording app working, changing volumes does not work etc.Here what it looks like:
Code:
$ alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument
I've also tried Ubuntu and OpenSuse latest LiveCDs, both 32 and 64 bit - the result is the same alsaconf does not help.I'm totally puzzled and will be gladfull for any hint.
Additional info:
Code:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: VT1708B Analog [VT1708B Analog]

I migrated back from Maverick because I couldn't get Tvtime to work because /dev/mixer is no longer created in 10.10 so no volume control from within tvtime. I'm now back to 10.04. The issue that I'm having is that I have 4 devices that show up as /dev/mixer, /dev/mixer1,/dev/mixer2 and /dev/mixer3. I need to have tvtime use the mixer associated with my soundblaster audigy card.
whenever I reboot, the order of these devices changes. Sometimes the soundblaster is assoaciated with /dev/mixer , sometimes it's /dev/mixer2 etc. Is there a way to ensure that the devices are always in the same place/order? On a related note, sometimes my usb webcam is video1 other times it's video0 , this also causes problems with tvtime. How can I ensure that my system is the same after each boot? I tried dev rules but couldn't get them to work properly.

I recently installed Deluge 1.2.0 from the following PPA:[URL]I using this on two different Linux computers. One is running Linux Mint 8 and the other is running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10. The first time on either computer when I enable WebUI in the Deluge GUI it works fine. However if I ever disable it in plugins section I am subsequently unable to re-enable it (doesn't appear in the side panel again). Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I was able to build a NFS server and a NFS client using OpenSuse 11.3 and connect them together using gigabit ethernet through a switch. These are the only 2 devices on this net (192.168.1.xx). I tried to set the MTU to 9000 and 9014 but learned that the Realtek 8169/8111 only support up to about 7200 MTU. So I inserted Intel NIC cards on both and set both to 9000. The system accepts this and I can ssh from one machine to the other. Both NFS client and server start w/o issue and the client mounts the device just fine. But when I try to copy a file on the NFS client from the local disk to the server, the client just hangs and I have to physically turn the machine off in order to get it to work. Both systems are using the stock software from the DVD (I didn't update either).

With my .conkyrc. Whenever I output the values of any of the mixer variables, eg. mixer, mixerbar, mixerl, mixerlbar, mixerr, mixerrbar - the correct value is initially displayed but it only persists for one iteration of conky. As soon as conky refreshes (2 secs. in my case), the value goes to zero (0). I'd have to restart conky in order to get another reading until conky loops/refreshes again.
I'm sure that it's not normal behavior because nothing else in conky seems to work this way. Has anyone come across this? I couldn't find a mention of it anywhere.

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 just installed Xubuntu on a new computer.One problem i came across, was the volume control at the top panel (near the clock).Unlike Ubuntu's volume control, it just opens up a sound mixer instead of being able to adjust the volume right away with one left-click. Is there anyway to get that to happen? Even my keyboard's volume control doesn't work in Xubuntu, but it worked perfectly fine in Ubuntu.
If i try to add a new applet into the panel, there is ONLY the MIxer, which is not what i want. There are no options to add regular volume controls anywhere that i can just left-click and adjust right away.
*Specs:
Dell Dimension 5280
Intel P4 2.53ghz
256mb RAM
60gb HDD
Xubuntu 10.4 (or the latest)
Generic Keyboard w/volume control

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 am trying to install the IDS component barnyard2 on RHEL 5. I am following the snort enterprise insall document by Patrick Harper. For installing barnyard, after the tar command it says to perform a ./configure --enable-mysql The --enable-mysql does not work: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-mysql --with-mysql does work. Is there a difference? Next, using --with-mysql, I get a failure at the end:
ERROR! Libpcap library/headers (libpcap.a (or .so)/pcap.h) not found, go get it from Open Source and Linux Forums dot tcpdump dot org TCPDUMP/LIBPCAP public repository or use the --with-libpcap-* options, if you have it installed in unusual place. Also check if your libpcap depends on another shared library that may be installed in an unusual place I do a find / -name libpcap* and get:
/usr/share/doc/libpcap-0.9.4
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9.4
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9
/usr/lib64/libpcap.so.0.9.4
/usr/lib64/libpcap.so.0
/usr/lib64/libpcap.so.0.9
How do I tell the configure to use one of the above? I don't understand how to use the --with-libpcap-* option?

I have not been able to find but one post which stated they had successfully gotten ubuntu to work with Alesis Multimix 8 USB mixer. I have the very latest release of Ubuntu. I read where the gentlemen claims that [URL]... is the reason he was able to start using his alesis mixer. I'm just letting everyone know that I am going to try this. When I'm done I'll let you know if it works.

I've got a headset with a microphone plugged in, but not recognized by KDE's mixer.
Code:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 046d:0a0c Logitech, Inc. Clear Chat Comfort USB Headset The device is visible in system settings: System Settings->Multimedia->Phonon->Audio Capture
but not in the mixer under Capture Devices. Is there an easy way to get either the notebook's built-in mic or the headset mic to start?

I am running F12 and I use Amarok to manage/play my music library.
I keep having a problem where the mixer 'Surround' in my alsa volume gets maxed whenever I switch tracks in Amarok. I want to stop this from happening because it causes my speakers to buzz just loudly enough to drive me crazy.
I have an SB Live! 5.1 (emu10k1) card.

i've just created a new .asoundrc which uses dmix. So i can use it in KDEs systemsettings. And all Programs can use the sound devices at the same time. The only Program who makes trouble is skype. If i hear music or watch tv and an skype systemsound comes, i must restart the Soundtrack. Now i have seen that skype uses ALSA. But if i set the default settings, skype would like to have exclusivly access for the sounddevices. Exists any way, to use skype with a mixer like dmix, so all applications have collaborative access to the sound devices.

I'm still battling Linux sound. It just never sounds as good as Windows, and it's starting to piss me off now that I'm running Linux full time and my audio sounds like poop.
1) For audio that was recorded low, max volume in the app and the desktop mixer isn't always enough. I need a way to go beyond the norms. I've tried the Vlc preamp, but it just ends up causing distortion.
2) The sound quality is continually disappointing, and apps either don't have an EQ, or poor quality EQ's
I also don't want to spend 6 months learning how to use the new piece of software. Is there anything you can recommend to give me more volume and possibly a decent EQ, ideally with standard presets (e.g., 'rock, pop, classicl', etc.)?

when I upgraded to xubuntu 9.1 I was pleased to find a mixer control sitting in my notification area.well, yesterday I was doing a little "house cleaning" and removing apps I didn't use. I removed Brasero, Listen and Sound Recorder. I use xfBurn, Banshee and Audacity. now I notice today that I am missing the mixer control that I had like so much. still have xfce4-mixer, but all the controls have been reset. and I can't get it to minimize/close to the notification area

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 have a Logitech clearchat pro usb headset and it works really well. However every time I plug it in I have to turn up its volume in alsa mixer. Also so that the right volume slider is controlled (by the volume keys) I have to change the output in pavucontrol. Does anyone know of a way that I can make this happen on its own? I guessed writing a udev rule might work (not that I have ever done one), but I don't know the commands that are equivalent to what I do.

I've got an Acer 7736 and had quite a few issues with no sound after my install of 10.10. After quite a bit of fiddling I managed to get that sorted and I now how have sound. I believe I'm using alsa although pulse also does seem to be on here. The reason I say I believe I'm using alsa is that after startup, I have no sound on speakers unless I unmute it in alsamixer.
As I understand it alsa's supposed to save your settings on logout/shutdown/reboot but this doesn't appear to be the case, and I'm not able to find any asound.conf or the like in the places they're apparently supposed to be.

How-To set the mixer volume level at system startup or login. A funny story that led up to this how-to first...
I made the obvious mistake of leaving my volume level set to nearly maximum. Of course, Ubuntu's default behavior is to restore the mixer to its last known state - a point of much irritation at that moment. This had been a problem in the past as well, and today was the last straw. So, I did some research, for quite some time I might add, and decided to be a good community member and share my findings. It seems that there are all sorts of opinions around the web. The dominant opinion is that a mixer should always be restored to its last known state, that this is all well and good, and why would you ever want it to work any other way. Lots of people suggested that the startup sound be disabled, which was not a terrible solution, but was still a work-around as it means that the next sound bite to be played is the alarming one.
Needless to say, I wanted to find out what I would call the "proper" way to set the mixer level at startup. As my laptop uses PulseAudio, and my office desktop uses ALSA audio, the methods were different. My focus was for PulseAudio as that was the original purpose. I note here that my method for ALSA is less detailed as it is not the default for Ubuntu audio these days. So, if you are using ALSA, you might have to be a little creative to make my ALSA note fit your needs. I have attached 2 files to this post, one for ALSA and one for PulseAudio.

I just did a reinstall of Debian testing last night, and today I am configuring the system to my liking. I just clicked on the mixer in the tray, and the only option I get is Realtek ALC269. Before I could use ALSA. What happened, and how can I get ALSA back?
I did an "apt-get install alsa" to see if I could even get ALSA, and it downloaded and installed. I still can't seem to get ALSA working down there.

Lately I noticed that something seems to be blocking various audio controls - mixer mostly. I can't access mixer window from taskbar, my keyboard volume knob doesn't work, mute too. But - all the generated events are there, because when the problem goes away (usually in the range of 10-30 seconds), all the events that I generated (volume up/down, mute) are applied.
Straced kmix startup. And it looks like it was waitinf for some information from dbus - i see it sent and received some messages to fd=3 (which is earlier connected to /tmp/dbus-something), and then it waits 21 seconds!, and then it gets new message from dbus, message looks like:
[Code]...
It contains string "introspection" - no idea what it is about, but perhaps it could be related? I am very willing to do additional tests/straces/whatever to solve the problem,
