SB X-Fi Titanium has a FlexiJack: Mic/Line in combined into one jack. The windows driver sets the mode. Linux driver has no such feature and it always works as a mic input. So you cannot use it for "Line in". Just because of this I am going to have a new sound card.

I have the sound card creative X-Fi titanium, normally in windows 7 i used to record from an external pre-amplified microphone and just pass the sound trough line-in.. How can i do the same In ubuntu? By the way i tyred to install the creative drivers [URL] but I couldn't make it

I've got an Acer Aspire 5101 with Natty on it and everything works so far, but I can't start Muse. It says: "Muse failed to find a jack audio server". At the bottom it also says: "...if Jack was started check if it was started as the same user as Muse". This might be the issue. But how can I check this? BTW: Jackd has been installed and I am a Member of the Audio Group.
I am new to Ubuntu and don't know how to fix this. I got this Notebook for free, because my Brother wanted to dispose it as it didn't worked properly after he reinstalled xp. Only the dvd-drive is broken, the rest is in really good condition for such an old thing. After a lot of trial and error I could finally install Natty from USB.
I'm running Maverick right now, but the problem also occurs with Lucid. My sound card is a creative X-Fi Titanium (emu20k2). Audio playback is fine, surround is fine, etc. Audio capture is "fine" too - the problem is that the microphone picks up everything that the headset is outputting. This is very strange since the headset is a noice-cancelling headset and in order for that to happen on other platforms (windows) I essentially have to turn the volume up to astronomical levels. As always, this doesn't happen on windows.
Needless to say this poses somewhat of a problem with VoIP applications since folks I'm interacting with constantly hear themselves echoed back by me. The only solution is to tune down the microphone volume but that adds another problem: people can no longer hear me clearly.
So my question is: is there a way to enable echo reduction for Pulse Audio so that the mic doesn't constantly capture what's coming from the outputs? And yes - when I look at the "input" tab in the sound preferences application I can see the marker move if I speak - same with pavucontrol
There is a basic driver for it. I was wondering if anyone got it to work. Or is there another card that has been used successfully, especially with recording from a microphone. I am getting poor input from the mic source. Levels are low and broken up. Extensive research has pointed to ALSA/PulseAudio not being able to fine tune all sound cards. I am using the onboard currently, an ALC262.
In the meantime I was tempted to set the priorities higher for sound in general, in other words tweak ALSA and PA. Reason being is that many across a few distros have problems when resources are squeezed, like the times when proc load is at or near 100%, for example. I do not know how to tweak sound. Does anyone know?
I still want to try the Titanium since it could be utilized in 7 (ouch) as a luxury for recording "what you hear", and for superior sound reproduction as well.
I actually pretty much abandoned Ubuntu a few weeks back after several weeks of not getting a couple things working properly.One of the big problems is I couldn't get my line-in audio jack working to save my life (despite working flawlessly in Windows on the same machine).I have posted about this numerous times and had no luck despite many of you good people attempting to assist.Tonight, I put a live CD of Linux Mint in my machine and noticed a few of the little problems I have with Ubuntu seemed to be "fixed" with Linux Mint.
That's when it hit me that perhaps the big difference is 32 vs. 64 bit? My Ubuntu is 64 bit but the Linux Mint I tested is 32. Does anybody think that my audio problem could be as simple as getting away from Ubuntu 64 bit?Also, can anybody tell me if there is a Terminal Services Client available for Mint? I'm sure there is but it didn't seem to be in the default install..
I've been trawling the webs and trying to find information on how to configure the flexijack on the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro card to allow microphone input in Fedora 13 64-bit. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Both the Creative released drivers 1.00 and 1.18 (beta) will not install for me, but I don't think this is the problem. Not sure though.
For starters; although I am comfortable with Ubuntu, I don't really understand these midi and jack things,Ok,so I got a midi controller keyboard which I want to connect to my ubuntu pc to start making some music (play piano and possibly try to make some songs). I don't know if my sound card supports midi, but I got a Roland midi-to-usb converter. I connected it to my pc and downloaded Jack Control. When I fire up Jack control my normal music (using audacious) stops (don't know if this is normal). On the window that appears I hit start which results in an error, which I will paste below:

There are md5 and/or sha1 checksum files for the CentOS 5.5 ISO files, e.g. "part 1 of X". However there is no checksum for the combined ISO file. I believe we can check the media at boot time, but it would be nice to have a checksum for the combined ISO's and not just the individual pieces. Any file system should do an error free copy, but there is always the possibility of a copy not happening correctly. Is there any official source for the checksum files I'm looking for?

I have an ESI Gigaport HD USB external soundcard which I'd like to use via Jack with my Thinkpad T40 running Ubuntu 9.04.This is the card, it has no inputs and 8 x outputs:

The card is autodetected on plug in. I can see the 8 x outputs in the Jack connection window but I can't run any sound to it. Anything I connect to it on any of the 8 channels is silent.
I had Ubuntu 10.4 installed and JACK was working excellent. I noticed that gnome was a little more than what I needed so I installed the xubuntu-desktop package. After that install JACK no longer works... I run the command jackd -d alsa and I get a bus error. I did a new install from an xubuntu iso and same error.

All my data is stored on a separate device/partition: a 2TB USB disk with one ext4 partition. I have 3 more USB disks: 1x 1TB + 2x 500GB = 2TB right ? I want to backup my data from the 2TB volume to the (older/slower/cheaper) other volumes combined. I am thinking to use LVM to group the 3 smaller USB disks into one 2TB logical volume and use that to back up the 2TB primary volume. Do you think that is a good idea? In case of disaster I can replace the 2TB primary disk and restore from my 2TB logical volume right ?
What happens if :
I have to replace my internal hard disk and reinstall ubuntu? Can I re-attach the logical volume ?One of the physical volumes of my volume group dies ? Can I remove it and replace it with a new physical volume (bound to have other dimensions) ?Understandably I will loose my backup data?PS: running Ubuntu 10.10 .
I just realize that when I plug in my headphones in my laptop, the sound in the laptop's speakers continues to play and I have no sound on the headphones. This is the output of the 'sudo lshw -C sound' on my system:

Why do this? Two reasons:
1) Many of us use JACK for low-latency audio work, but it's annoying to have to turn it on or off to have to allow regular Ubuntu applications to work. It's even more annoying that both can't normally work together -- either JACK or PulseAudio must take control of the sound control. This method allow JACK to do, and PulseAudio just routes to JACK.
2) JACK is kinda super awesome. By routing PulseAudio through it, your regular Ubuntu sound application suddenly get super powers. Pretty easy to do! (Well, we count our blessings in Linux...)
1. DYNAMICALLY You need the PulseAudio utilities and JACK sink:
Code:
sudo aptitude install pulseaudio-utils pulseaudio-module-jack And then run this to get PulseAudio connected to JACK: Code:pactl load-module module-jack-sink pactl load-module module-jack-source Now, go to Ubuntu's sound preferences, and you'll see "Jack sink" in the output tab. If you use JACK Control, you can create a script for the above and have it set up in "Execute script after Startup". Then, PulseAudio will automatically load the JACK sink when you start JACK.
2. BY DEFAULT Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa, and add these lines:
Code:load-module module-jack-source load-module module-jack-sink You can test it without rebooting by restarting PulseAudio. In Ubuntu, PulseAudio is started in the user session, not as a system daemon. To restart it:
Code:
pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio --start
I can not get sound to exit from my headphone jack, whenever I plug it in, no sounds come out. Notebook model is Acer 3820TG. By the way, I've tried adding the line for HDA Intel with udo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

JACK will not run ( eg. the server just won't go! ) When running Rosegarden I can not access the Qsynth/Fluidsynth.In the Rosegarden "manage MIDI devices" menu it now shows ONLY one "General Midi Device" -thats all, and I do not know where to/how to get access to qsynth/fluidsynth to use soundfontsIn manage midi devices I ONLY get the option of "general midi"and then its only through "14:0 Midi through port 0 (duplex)" and no
other channels are available or offered!If I import one of the devices that come with rosegarden ( like Aleisis ) there is no sound.
Also if anyone knows: (& if I can fix the above) how do I set Rosegarden to use a software synth like ZynAddSubFX on the track/channel? External softsynths do not show up, so how do I assign the channel to use them>
Ps: Rosegarden did not install with the help files, even a complete removal and reinstall does not fix this- hats why I may be asking questions which could possibly be in the Rosegarden manual ( but NOT anywhere online that I've found in 3 days of searching- and I'm a research assistant for cognitive sciences- eg: good at researching! )

I have a little issue.
I have netbook Asus EEE PC 1001PX (he's got only one jack for headphone and mic, i dont' know how this could work... but anyway)
I have no sound from headphone, from speakers is ok.
I've already edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and insert the options snd-hda-intel model=asus at the bottom, still nothing.
I've try also to uninstal linux-backports-wireless... and still nothing.
Card: Intel HDA.
Jack runs, but I can't get sound to play through it. Another thing that happens is when I launch jack, all audio in the system, whether its connected to jack or not, goes off. There are no errors or anything in the messages window. And I checked to see if it was connected to the correct interface. I have a mac mini and I run ppc lucid lynx. The system does detect my hardware, and its not muted. All I want to do is use MusE. Is there maybe anyway to run MusE without jack?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI finally ditched PulseAudio and set up my system with a realtime kernel. I'm redirecting ALSA over JACK. The good: - Awesome, I can get <5ms latency without any xruns! (although 23.2 msec as described below is just fine for me) The bad: - I'm a long-time linux audio user, but have got some minor issues which spoil the fun.
1. Without pulseaudio, the indicator applet refuses to show a volume control applet. The old gnome-volume-control-applet (the one with tooltip!) loads but doesn't show in the gnome-panel. Although I can set the volume with envy24control, it's not quite as practical as using the scrollwheel! Any way to fix this?
2. When I launching any application (such as a terminal) from the gnome-panel, a new JACK connection is created, but not cleaned up after closing the application. As a result, the QJackCtl connection list is flooded with alsa-jack.jackP.8528.xx connections (where 8528 is the process ID of gnome-panel). The jack_lsp command line program shows the same (added spaces after every : to get around the smiley filter):

I am trying to set my computer up to do sound sequencing. I want to plug my MIDI keyboard in and record with a sequencer. Running 10.04, was following a tutorial on installing JACK, and my audio stopped working. Since then, I've gone through all guides I can find, some advising an upgrade of ALSA, some saying to use OCC. I've tried both, but nothing seems to work.
I suspect it may have something to do with libjack0. I could not install jackd because it claimed libjack0 to be the wrong version, and for some reason I couldn't upgrade. So I uninstalled libjack0, then installed jackd, which automatically included the version of libjack0 it wanted. After that, I could get the JACK server running, but the computer had no sound.
I will post whatever logs or information necessary to troubleshoot, but I don't know exactly how or what to post. If you need logs, please tell me how to get them.
I have everything installed and Jack working fine. I'm in the user group and have realtime enabled and running. My problem is that I can't get my input (the guitar) through rakarrack and out. This is how it is set up:
Guitar is plugged in directly through the Input jack on the sound card (I have tried with the front input, rear, front mic, and rear mic inputs)
I have kde mixer set to allow pass-through of the sound from the input source (I can hear the guitar in my speakers, un-amplified directly from the source). The problem is that I cant get this source into rakarrack with jack to save my life. I have tried all sorts of combinations both physically with the audio jacks and in jack audio. Is that Jack isn't detecting the right input source with alsa or something?
I am not able to start JACK in realtime mode. This is a bummer. here is the error message I get:

I have a Dell Vostro 320 running Ubuntu 10.10. I can get sound through the onboard speakers but when I plug headphones into the jack, the onboard speakers mute (correct behaviour), but no sound comes from the headphones (incorrect behaviour). The headphones do work with other sound sources.I have made sure all the alsa drivers are up to date and correct and the system is seeing the sound card OK according to aplay -l:
The alsamixer run from the command line or Gnome shows "Master", "PCM", "Beep" and "Capture" all normal with nothing muted. The alsa-base.conf file has the following as the last line as per various posts that seem to have a fix for this problem:options snd-hda-intel model=dell-vostro position_fix=0 enable=yes.
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit, and I've got JACK and Pulseaudio both installed, though I don't run them simultaneously. I also have LinuxSampler and Rosegarden, and I have the necessary ALSA drivers. Pulseaudio can output to my external sound card, but JACK doesn't, even if I tell it to. I've seen its full name (Guitar Rig Mobile IO) and chosen it as the output device under Settings, but to no avail. It still sends the output to the internal (and crappy) sound card.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI had sound. My sound stops working after install jack. Jack server starts well, and the jack log shows no error messages. If I run Muse, it recognizes jack and show no error messages, but I have no sound output. Where should I start investigating? I'm using Karmic.
