Ubuntu Multimedia :: 2.6.31-18 Sound Control Applet No Longer Appears In Panel
Feb 2, 2010
Since I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.31-18 I have been experiencing problems with my sound. 2.6.31-18 sound problems with nvidia MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78SThe laptop speakers no longer shut off when plugging in headphones. My sound control applet no longer appears in the panel. When launching a sound application sound starts off real loud for a second and then changes to much quieter. I have had this laptop since Hardy with never any sound issues. I do not know if it is the kernel upgrade or the accompanying backports modules. Could be neither for all I know and it just started around that time and is a coincidence.
Here is what was installed:
Installed the following packages:
linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.31-18-generic (2.6.31-18.20)
linux-headers-2.6.31-18 (2.6.31-18.55)
linux-headers-2.6.31-18-generic (2.6.31-18.55)
linux-image-2.6.31-18-generic (2.6.31-18.55)

Before upgrading to Natty I used to have a Banshee icon in my panel when the application was open - I could close the program but it would just minimize to the panel. Now when I open Banshee there is no icon in the panel. I checked the preferences menu to see if I could change this setting, but didn't see anything there.

I want to add the bthprops.cpl dll (The bluetooth control panel applet) to my wine install under Ubuntu 10.04 since it is required for Dolphin Emulator. [URL]
I copied the file from my windows install into the System32 folder in .wine and into the folder where the application I am trying to run is, but wine still fails to load it. Is there anything else I need to do to make the dll accessible for wine programs?

In ubuntu 10.04 my X-fi Fatal1ty Titanium sound card worked for my speakers but I had to use onboard sound for the mic. When I installed 10.10 the sound card no longer works at all so I have to run the speakers through the onboard sound.
The second problem I have is that Skype will not pick up my microphone all other programs seem to be able to record from the microphone just fine but skype does not. Ive tried selecting all the different input device options from the skype settings but none of them seem to work.
EDIT: Sound doesn't work at all in wine.
EDIT2: The X-fi card no longer shows up in the sound control panel.

My microphone wasn't working so I entered alsamixer to amp up it's volume and see what's wrong.Not sure what I did wrong but now the gnome volume control applet in the Indicator does not affect system volume at all.I can even mute it and it will not mute anything.The volume controls in alsamixer work fine and changing the volume in alsamixer affect system volume immediately.What could I have done? How can I get back volume control inside gnome?

I have Ubuntu 9.10. I was having trouble with sound in Skype. So I read on the forum that I needed to replace pulseaudio with esound, more or less as described here:
[URL]
I did that and skype is working!
But now there's no more sound control on the panel. It doesn't offer a sound control when I right click and look through "add to menu". I saw a post that said that the sound control would appear in the "indicator applet" on the the panel, but that didn't work.
Preferences--sound gives me a message "waiting for sound system to respond." The solutions that I've read on forums seem to imply that I need to reinstall pulseaudio. But that will bring me back to my original problem with Skype.Do I need to upgrade to the new version of Ubuntu to fix it? I hadn't upgraded because I've been told the newer version is a bit slower.

Alright, at first, the volume control went missing from the indicator applet, but then re-adding it to the panel didn't do anything but add a mail/chat applet. So I tried to reset the indicator applet settings with this code...
And now all that happens when I add the indicator applet to the panel is that the text: "No indicators" pops up where the mail/chat applet was before. Is there a way to get the volume applet back into the panel?

I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and my volume control disappeared from the panel. I have reinstalled pulseaudio but it had not re-appeared. I can't find it in the Add Panel list nor can I find it in the Pulseaudio volume control application as an option.

Ubuntu 10.10, Acer Aspire One D255 I have been searching for a webcam program to work as Cheese did not (See: [URL]). I found GUVC (A review of it here: [URL]). So, I downloaded it from the Ubuntu Software Center and it runs GREAT! Here is the odd problem: It does not display the control panel to start recording. This would normally be at the bottom of each section from what I can tell.

After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04, I realised, to my dismay, that the volume control had vanished from the panel. I can still control the volume via the buttons on my keyboard When I right-click on the panel and go to "and to panel" as other treads suggested, "Volume Control" is not on the list

I am using guayadeque and I need it to notify me about the title and the artist when a new song begins. Also it would be great if it could be controlled without restoring the window. I mean, every time I want to pause the song or skip to the next track, I should restore the minimized window and do whatever I want. Is there a way to control from the task bar or upper panel?

The volume control in the Gnome panel system tray has disappeared from my wife's Ubuntu 10.04 system with the master volume set to zero.I was able to restore sound via System->Preferences->Sound master volume, but this is not particularly convienent. How do I restore the panel volume control? (the speaker icon on the panel, between the Network arrows and Chat/Mail setup icons).

I have a suspicion that this is easily fixed, however a good google (and this forum) hammering having turned up the fix. So I probably have the wrong search criteria, My Gnome Applet for switching CPU Frequency Scaling has 'disappeared' and is not listed in the the Add to Panel.. list of applets.

My USB sound card used to work perfectly, but after i unplugged it, there seems to be a problem. When it is unplugged it is in the multimedia device preference list, but it is greyed out. When i plug the sound card in, nothing happens to the greyed entry, instead a new device shows up with the same name.
When press test on the new entry, it works fine, but it's like pulseaudio dosn't recognize the USB sound card, and the sound just comes out of the internal speakers. Also, if i move the new entry up in the list, it has none effect at all. Sound still comes out of the internal speaker. Does anyone know how i can fix this?

Yesterday I decided to remove pulse (mainly because Skype was unable to work with it) but suddenly the sound icon is gone. After some searching on the net I understood that it was part of pulseaudio, but now I feel a bit lost. Alsa works like a charm instead, but since I also want to use ubuntu to record sound I'm not sure if it will work, and also I have a sound source for my HDMI interface and don't know how switch if I want to.

I recently upgraded an ASUS netbook through a series of about 4 or so upgrades ending at Maverick (10.10). Sound in Java applets worked fine before that, but I've been trying for about a week now to get it working again.
Here is what I have tried so far:
Removed Sun Java and plugin, and installed Openjdk and icedtea
Removed Openjdk and icedtea, and installed Sun Java and plugin
Verified through aboutlugins that FireFox plugin matched installed Java plugin
Tried using padsp and aoss wrappers
Along the way I have also tried other suggestions I have found through Google for configuring sound and setting file permissions, but nothing works. No matter what I do, sound keeps working everywhere except in Java applets.
Here are some observations along the way.
Sound has worked everywhere I try except in Java applets. It works with Flash.
Java applets work fine except for sound. Java console indicates that sound files are being received and passed to applets.
My Java executable is located at /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java. I have tried renaming it "java.real" and creating a shell script that wraps it with padsp or aoss. When I do that Java works, but Java applets fail to start. The Java console does not start up, so the wrappers appear to prevent applets from starting.
I am trying to run applets at [url]. They work fine for me on a 64-bit 10.04 system and a 32-bit 10.04 system.

I feel little silly asking this, I accidently removed from my gnome panel my internet connection, volume control and battery indicator on F11. how can I add this back. It does not show up in the add to panel menu and the applications do not give you back the default feel.

Someone on the forums had me uninstall pulseaudio to get pSX working, and now I don't have a volume control icon on the panel and when choosing to add stuff to the panel it isn't available.I re-installed pulseaudio through the package manager, but I have a feeling it didn't install everything that uninstalled with it.

Recently I installed JACK and Ardour to try out. Later I decided against it and so I uninstalled them. After restarting my computer, I noticed that the sound applet has disappeared from the panel, although the battery and mail icons are still present. There is still sound coming out of my laptop speakers, but it is stuck at whatever volume I had it set on before the last time I shut down. Volume sliders inside Banshee and suchll function, but I cannot change the overall system volume, and my keyboard shortcuts for this have stopped working as well. When I go into System->Preferences->Sound, all I get is a message that says "Waiting for sound system to respond." and nothing happens. I've tried searching around for a solution, but nobody I could find seems to have had aimilar problem, and none of the various other solutions proposed have worked for me. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 by the way.

All of a sudden I no longer have any sound on anything streaming over the Internet. Nothing wrong with the sound system because I can still play music. Just Internet sound.

I have a zoom H2 and I intend to use its usb microphone function.I connected it and it seems to work with xvidcap if I declare /dev/audio1 as the input device. Well.I want to go further and use it for other purposes and before installing jack and other applications I would like to understand why it does no longer appear in the "Sound preferences" under the 'input" and "hardware" tabs as it was the case the day before.

I am running 10.10 on a 21.5 inch imac. I just ran some updates and rebooted, turned on rhythmbox to play some tunes and realized there is no sound. Tried ....., no yield. Tried a different user account still no sound. SO I rebooted into osx and I have sound. Its therefore a software issue for sure. I plugged in headphones and changed to the appropriate output in the settings manager, sound came out, but out of phase. What going on here? any ideas would be awesome.

Anyone here have a good solution for individually controlling sound output without relying on that individual programs audio settings? For example:I am writing a paper while listening to some nice creative commons jamendo music, and I have to look something up online - I don't want to hear random audio/video advertisements.
or I get a VoIP call and I want that program to continue with sound, but want to mute my 8bit sequencer and whatever else.

In sound control, the bar that shows your volume level has a mark about 75% across that signifies your max volume without digital amplification.[URL] If you drag the settings dongle to the right of that mark, your volume does get louder, but I cannot achieve that effect via my usual keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F8-for-volume-down, F9-for-volume-up). They stop increasing volume at that artificial 100% mark, they do not digitally amplify as I want them to. As a result, every time I want to amplify my volume, I am forced to go all the way into sound control, which (to me) is dumb. Is there a way to set the 100% mark at the ACTUAL far right of the control bar, instead of 75% across, so that my keyboard shortcuts blend right from analog-max to amplification?

I have used synaptic to install the panel applet called "timer-applet." After installing with synaptic, the applet will not appear in the "Add to Panel" dialog box that appears after right-clicking on the panel. How can I fix this?

I'm trying to boot into 10.04, but all I see is the purple background. I never get a login box to load the desktop. I've managed to gain access to the desktop, using the command line from the recovery console, only to see various warnings about gnome applet failures.

( THe comprehensive sound guide showed how to purge the alsa utils but that didnt work if someone know why please let me know and if you could explain.)
