Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Prevent - Using AC97 Audio
Mar 12, 2011
I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card installed in my PC. It is of far higher quality than the AC97 sound built into the VIA chipset. I want to use the M-Audio card so AC97 sound is disabled in BIOS.
When using Audacity I can record and play with the M-Audio card as I wish.
When using VLC (or any other media player), Ubuntu insists on playing through the AC97 ports - which I have disabled and which, I would have thought, was a pretty good indication that I don't want to use them.
Even when I configure VLC to use the M-Audio card (using VLC's <tools> <preferences> <audio> <output Device> ) it still plays through the motherboard via-82xx hardware.
What nonsense is this? Surely Ubuntu cannot require me to replug my speakers when I want to switch between VLC/ Brasero etc and Audacity?
I looked at the Pulse Audio apps: good grief! Is there any human being which understand what all that is supposed to be about? I could find nothing which matched my understanding of my hardware or related in any way to what I, as an end-user, want to do with my system. Is there an interpretation of this PulseAudio function available anywhere?

Over the last few days I've been spending some time converting my headless web server into a media center running Boxee for our lounge.
I have managed to get *nearly* everything working with the exception of sound. The computer has onboard sound, both front and back ports, and I tried every combination of outputs and plugs.
I also checked it wasn't muted, or anything like that.
So, I wasn't able to get it working with the stock Ubuntu 10.10 stuff - I turned to Google and found a thread which suggested I download and install this.
I ran the ./install as root, and it took about 3 minutes to install everything. Rebooted and now I'm left worse off than before - this time I actually have no sound card even listed.
I've been thinking some more, and after another hour or two reading through random threads, I think it may have been a mistake to install those drivers.
I couldn't find a way to uninstall them, so I've been reinstalling all the alsa and PulseAudio packages I can find with no luck.
Now I'm stuck with doubly no-sound.
If I can't get onboard working then I'm considering buying a new graphics card with HDMI out (the current one has a hard time with Boxee), or maybe a dedicated sound card instead.

I've gone through the process of installing and setting up OpenSuse, which has been fairly streamlined.
The only problem I am having is with my Soundcard the audio coming out of it is highly digitally distorted unless I set it to 100% or 50% in the sound preferences section. Once this is done, the audio quality is still fairly awful, but doesn't sound like my guitar's fuzz box!
I'm assuming this is some sort of drivers issue and I have a few options in my yast audio configuration that I'm unsure what to do with.
They are as follows:
Now, these options are all able to be given a numerical value, first question, what do they stand for and what does the value do?
And second question, does anyone know what a semaphore is in relation to audio codecs? I have worked with audio for years and never some across this termanology?

I am new to Linux and ran into a problem with no sound after a fresh install of Debian 6.0.
Here is what I get from my I/Os. (yes speakers are on, plugged in and all volume controls have been toggled and tweaked in every which way.)

I have an older HP desktop that I recently installed ubuntu 9.10. Currently I do not get any system sounds. I can get sound from the movie player so I know something must be correct. When booting I can hear the speaker pop several times, but that is it. On my other machine with 9.10 installed I get a sound during the splash screen.

I want to listen to this audio file: [URL] but my real player 11.0.0.4028 gold desn play it, it says that there is a codec 28_8 missing, I go to relaplayer page, download the last release available for linux systems, but the message is the same : audio codec missing and doesn't play the audio.
I havev tried to play the audio with smplayer (not luck), vlc can play the audio but the pause button doesn't work so I have to listen the entire audio all the time I stop it playing. Is there any audio player capable od reproducing in the proper way this audio in ubuntu? No one of my video players totem, smplayer, realplayer or vlc are capable of playing this video: [URL]

The above sound card (internal actually, no 'card') works fine in Ubuntu but Slackware 12.2 won't find it. Tried alsaconfig, which seems happy, but no sound. If Ubuntu can do it, Slackware should to, no?

I'm thinking of installing openSUSE-11.1 Gnome on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop because the wireless in Gnome is much more user friendly than KDE3/KDE4 in openSUSE-11.1. The idea is to give this laptop to my 84-year old mother and things need to 'just work' for her (she currently has a desktop running openSUSE-11.1 KDE3 that uses a WIRED interface to the web).
I refuse to update this laptop to openSUSE-11.2 nor 11.3 (nor other recent distributions) because every kernel update after the 2.6.27 kernel has broken the Intel i855GM graphics drivers for that laptop. There are many bug reports and none have fixed the problem for this Fujitsu-Siemens implementation of the i855GM graphics.
Hence I am looking at Gnome.
I booted the laptop to a Gnome openSUSE-11.1 liveCD and wireless is easy and works great. But audio is very very VERY bad. It is incredibly user unfriendly and it does NOT work well. I assume that is because pulse audio in openSUSE-11.1 was very immature.
I note these updated packages in the openSUSE-11.1 update repository:
Code:
So my question is, did the updates to pulse audio (in the openSUSE-11.1 update repository) fix the pulse audio situation? Are there ANY helpful views on this?
Currently my wife is using this laptop with KDE-4.4.4 (and openSUSE-11.1) so I can't just install Gnome and play with it without taking the laptop away from her for a while (note the hard drive is too small for a dual boot of KDE/Gnome).

to start off, i'll post the specs of the machine:
dell inspiron e1505
3.2 gb ram
1.86 ghz intel core duo
ati x1400 gfx
opensuse 11.4 kde 32 bit.
okay, here are the details: can't play any audio with amarok when desktop effects are enabled because the minute a window is moved, it will distort the audio. even when disabling desktop effects, some applications still cause this. can't play videos videos even with desktop effects disabled because of the same reason.
i just switched from ubuntu and when i ran version 11.04, i had to disable kms to do anything. i tried on opensuse 11.4 and the audio was flawless but the gfx went all to hell.

I am having some issues with getting Ubuntu Studio 10.04 to work correctly on my system. Everything works fine except sound. I have a M-Audio Delta 66 audio interface and my onboard sound is disabled. When I run the command alsaconf I can see the ICE1712 card without issue. However when I run alsamixer the only option it is giving me is my HD sound from my ATI video card. For some reason it seems the ATI card has locked the audio to it with no way to remove it. I have reinstalled the alsa drivers for my card and can only see it through alsaconf. When I tell alsaconf to configure the ICE1712 card it says it configured it properly.When I run the command envy24control it says no ICE1712 cards were found.

Is there an application that anyone knows about that I can use to convert either an .flv or .ogg file that contains both audio and video to just an audio .ogg file (preferably vorbis+theora) without audacity? I'm fairly certain audacity could accomplish this but it seems like overkill for what I'm trying to do and the computer I'm trying to use does not run it so well.
::EDIT:: I should also mention that I've tried looking on google. I did find downloadhelper extension for firefox which uses ffmpeg to convert the files but I don't see any obvious way to strip the video.

I regularly use 2 monitors at 2 different locations. Booting Ubuntu on monitor 1 works great. Booting with monitor 2 connected causes Ubuntuto load with really low resolution.If Ubuntu is running and I unplug monitor 1 and connect monitor 2 all is well and it works perfectly.How can I tell Ubuntu not to check/change the display settings during boot so that it will work correctly with monitor 2?

I have a JVC Everio video camera that records directly DVD compliant mpeg files. Does anyone have a solution how to prevent re-rendering the files since that takes a lot of time and usually the end result is worse than the original one...If PiTiVi does not enable this can anyone propose some other program to do this?

Ubuntu Lucid, Asus T101MT tablet netbook.
Background Info: Normally the microphone doesn't work with some applications such as Empathy or the new Google Talk plugin for Linux. The workaround I'm using (and I don't know why this works) is to unlock the left and right channels in Pavucontrol and set one channel to zero, and to boost volume I set the other to max.
Issue: The Google Talk plugin is resetting the channels to be locked together. This is pretty frustrating because now they have free calling and I have no cell reception in my dorm room.

Is there any way to prevent Flash from capturing all keyboard input? I'm really sick of not being able to ctrl+l or ctrl+tab just because I'm watching a video, and today a video froze in fullscreen mode and I couldn't even ctrl+f1 to any terminals or ctrl+backspace to kill KDE. It would be awesome to stop flash from grabbing certain key commands and pass them to the browser or OS instead.

So I'm trying to change the primary click on my touch-pad to left-handed with xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1". it changed successfully, but there is one functionality I'd like changed. The touch pad itself changes to secondary too, but I want it to remain as primary.

Ubuntu insists on using movie player as the default for audio files. I would like to use VLC. VLC doesn't show up on the list as preferred applications for multimedia. I tried using custom with vlc %u but it doesn't work.

I'am used msi cx-700 and ubuntu 10.4. The problem consists in that аudio signal of bad quality and is very silent. Also the speaker works only on one of two loudspeaker.Audio card - Realtek alc888 is defined. Alsa is established. Tried many different variants of correction of the given problem, has reconsidered a forum, has helped nothing. Otherwise would not write.

If I put an Audio CD in my CD-ROM drive, then try to open Sound Juicer, I get an error saying that Sound Juicer cannot find any CD-ROM Drives to read. I can't rip my audio cd.
Similar attempts in K3b yielded similar results, albeit differently worded error messages.

Alright, I got a pair of darn nice stereo headphones over the past month and I'd like to maximize their use with the best audio format possible on my Ubuntu computers. I have a pretty extensive music collection but now going from using Itunes, Winamp, Banshee, etc formats seem to be getting pretty extensive. I want to know what the BEST overall quality audio format is. I'm only talking about simple listening, not editing, if it makes a difference.
I don't care what the size of the song comes out to here. If a 5 minute song ends up being 25mb, so be it. And what is your reason behind your choice, short and sweet.
