Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Setup Streaming Sound Server
Jun 19, 2010
One of my friends happens to be a Mac user. When he plays music in iTunes on his Mac Book, he can select that the sound should be played from the laptop speakers or from his remote speakers (i.e. his hifi stereo connected to an Airport Extreme wifi access point). If he chooses to play using the remote speakers, iTunes will stream sound via wifi to the Airport Extreme, which will then output to the hifi stereo speakers.
can I do something similar with Ubuntu/Kubuntu?
I have a setup like this: * I have three laptops running Kubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04. * I have a server (fit-PC) running Debian Lenny connected All machines are connected to my local wifi network. The server is connected to some good speakers.
So, what do I need to install/set up on the server and the clients in order to have, say, mplayer, stream sound to the server which will then output it through its sound card?

how to stream media securely over the internet from my desktop to my laptop.
I have a ton of movie and tv shows on my hard drive and instead of carrying around a backup of them on an external drive, I'd like to be able to type in a web address to view a list of files available to just stream.

I have configured PulseAudio with an MPD system-wide as I want to run PulseAudio without an X-Window Server environment, as I'm going to let my netbook act as a "wireless speaker" for espeak to speak out; thus, minimizing the expense of getting a "whole-apartment audio equipment." This is something that I can figure this out, as I have configured PulseAudio to act as a sender by having a separate RTP stream when I configure it in a VNC client.
Plus, I want my Windows Vista 64-Bit machine to receive the output from PulseAudio. I did download the Windows version of PulseAudio from Cendio, but I have problems getting PulseAudio to work, even if I added load-module module-rtp-recv to default.pa in the PulseAudio directory that I installed in PulseAudio directory. I get error after error messages when I run pulseaudio.exe, so it looks to me that it's not going to work anyway.
So I deleted the entire PulseAudio directory. It said something about entropy that I did not know anything about it. So anyway, is there some sort of a server program that listens to PulseAudio output and then send that audio to the client? The server program in the Ubuntu Server (that I plan to use as a sender) must be able to run without an X-Window environment. Is this possible?
I tried to do a search when it comes to streaming audio from Linux to Windows, but the Google search result came up with "Streaming audio/sound from Windows to Linux" which did not turn out very well for me. As a result, I have no luck with doing a Google search for what I'm looking for. In short, is there some kind of daemon that listens for audio and distribute the sound to Windows? It will be for my internal network only.

If I try playing ..... or other streaming video I have no sound. It used to work and then my dumbA$$ tinkered with it and now I have restored Flash, which was working flawlessly, don't know where my head was at but it was dark and smelly.
EDIT: I have Ubuntu 9.10 and my sound card is an nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2). I tried to follow along with the instructions in the sticky regarding the
Quote:
Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide
but when it gave me the instruction to select my sound card manufacturer from the drop down menu, I never found it.
FWIW, my speaker are on and they play music, system sounds etc, just no sound for streaming video. Pandora works fine etc. Also, this is isolated to Firefox, as it works fine in Opera.

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.

running kubuntu 9.10 karmic koala, and my sound settings -at first glance- seem to be in order... a strange thing is occurring, is my machine haunted? my sound works when:
a. the machine boots up
b. files are played in dragon player
c. the machine shuts down
my sound does not work when:
1. i try to play streaming flash videos online (e.g. videos videos show the image but no sound will play)
2. the same goes for vlc media player: images yes, sound no.
3. i use skype *edit: additional problem*
i made no changes, that i know of, to my machine before this started happening. one day everything was working fine and i turned off my machine to go to sleep. the next day, i turn on my machine, and surprise, the sound doesn't work in some instances.

About a year ago I installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 Karmic on a machine at my work to act as a file/print server and ftp host. I managed this with a lot of googling and reading of forums and it's still all working exactly as it did on day 1!
Now I would like to use the server to stream a local radio station through speakers into the workshop. I have again googled but have not managed to come up with a solution for a server sytem with no GUI...
The radio station streams in a m3u format.

I want to stream .avi *divx/xvid* (because of the nice compression and quality) online and have all streams accessible through a web based library type thing. Something like Jinzora ( http://en.jinzora.com/ ) is what I am looking for, but it's buggy. I would even be satisfied with a web based library of streams that you click and open with an external program. I have searched a lot for this and the only thing I found that can do this how I want (if it worked right) was jinzora. I don't want to convert to mpeg4 or flv because of size and quality issues.

I gotta say I know nothing about linux and how it works. I've always been a PC guy(I know, shame, shame). Anyway, I wanted to make my own media server, and for the most part, I seem to of succeed so far. I've learned a ton, but at the same time I'm so lost, and have more questions then answers, and hopefully I'll get some here.
Anyway, the conundrum that I've got is this. I've got my Server set up with Ubuntu 10.10(I think). Got a SAMBA filing system. And then I got Squeezebox to run music off my server. As I dont have an actual Squeezebox I needed to install SoftSqueeze to run the music from the Squeezebox Server address. I then found out that it works fine, but SoftSqueeze sucks when it comes to User Interface. I've tried looking around at other media players and forums about streaming and stuff, but its got me all confused, as I am new to this(going on 2 days now ).
My goal is to be able to stream music to all the users in the household, from the server to there PC. But to do this I'm very lost. I think that I can use a different media player to connect to my servers Squeezebox address... or do I need to get rid of Squeezebox entirely?

I am trying to set up a video streaming server on my Gnu/Linux Ubuntu 10.10. I want to be able to stream videos that I have on my computer to my friends who aren't on my network.streaming audio applications but that won't help me. Most of the tools available are only for sharing within your own network.

I successfully installed darwin streaming server .. I stream Audio through internet well but videos I can stream locally in my network only .. when I am connected to internet outside my network .. it doesn't stream I think their must be ports opened for that .. or any 1 have any ideas .. the audio is streamed on port 8000 .. video is streamed on port 7070 but locally only .. I opened those 2 ports in my router only the audio is working .. also I opened ports 554,7170 disabled the firewall of the router .. is it a problem of ports or something else .

I've tried on a couple of mailing lists to get a decent response, but it's been pretty shabby, so I thought I'd try the expertise of this fine community.I have a, relatively, ancient iMac G4 "Flowerpot" running Debian Testing and XFCE that I was using as a home music server. I write "was" because I could simply mount it using SSHFS from work, but now they have decided to become very restrictive with ports and for the life of me I can't get it working. I've already set-up GNUMP3D on it, but that also uses a port work won't allow.
So, in essence, I'm looking for suggestions on a Web-based application I could use to stream my music from home. Flash does not work on PPC, so anything Adobe-related is out of the question. Also, Java seems "iffy" at best... It's also worth note all of my music is in OGG format, so the program would have to be able to play said format.

tried to do a search for this but it's a bit of a tricky thing to search for. Basically what I'm after is a solution for my work so I can stream a online radio station down to 1 server, and then have the clients stream the audio from that. Anyone know if that's possible?
so:
Online Radio >> Server >> Clients
Any linux or winblows solution would be fine, I'm just trying to look for a solution that would cut down on the internet bandwidth usage, but still allow uses to listen to online radio.

'm trying to set up at least 5.1 sound in my fresh ubuntu 10.10. I have stereo sound but failed when trying to set up the rest. I've googled it, read through couple of pages and tried the following:
- I've installed alsa 1.0.24
- I've added the following lines to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
Code:
default-sample-channels = 6
default-channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,center,lfe
- I've added
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-digout
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
There is no 'Profile' button/menu in Sounds preferences/Hardware.
Code:
$speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6
speaker-test 1.0.24.2
Playback device is plug:surround51
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels

After installing I was not able to get many of the audio programmes to work. After some reading, I realised that this was probably due to jack not starting.
I was unable to get jack to start normally but have been able to get it started with the playback only option selected. Programmes that use jack now work, however there is no sound once jack has been started. The sound does work in other programs when jack is not started. Strangely, I only have to open qjackctl for the sound to stop, and jack is not even started. Initially I thought these problems were due to my sound card not being supported, but I believe that alsa support was added for the via 1708 codec at some point. I found that support had been added in a document showing the changes between alsa versions; however I cannot find the exact model listed as a supported sound card on the alsa site.
I believe that altering jack settings could fix the problem, as i have been able to get audio to work in hydrogen by selecting plughw:0 but there is still no sound in other programs. I have tried altering many other settings but to no avail, however I do not really understand the meaning of the settings that i am adjusting.
Does anyone know what settings to adjust or know something else that might fix this problem so that sound works once jack has been started?
Also, would programmes that use jack such as audacity, hydrogen, and ardour work with pulseaudio as the main sound server if I were to install normal ubuntu - it might be worth seeing if my soundcard works with the puleaudio sound server
if this helps, here is the error message received when jack does not start when the normal duplex option is selected.
21:24:04.867 Patchbay deactivated.
21:24:04.868 Statistics reset.
21:24:04.886 ALSA connection change.
Cannot connect to server socket err = Connection refused
[Code].....
also, when i open alsamixer in the terminal for some reason the headphone part is greyed out, even when the sound is working before qjackctl is opened.

I am runnig Jessie with the default GNOME. Every thing has been perfectly smooth, but for the audio line in. First you should now the same hardware was working well with Wheezy. Then the hardware card is RealTek ALC887-VD and I am using the analogic part (both for in and out lines).
Below I will write some command results, but first, it seems important to describe the problem. I can hear the audio line in. If I blow in a mic, I definitelly hear the sound of it in the output. With alsamixer I can toggle the line in level and it works fine. By the way, with pavucontrol, it is the same I have access to the line in. but when I look in the Gnome setting for the sound, input, no card is available, then no volume setting is available.
--> as a result, I can't record the sound from the mic. it is sent directly to the output without been taken into account in the system. So no comment on video making, no skype …
On the web, the problem is always "no sound with this card" "No sound after upgrade to Jessie"… but Card is working fine but no seen on a upper level…
Code: Select allroot@Desktop:~# lsmod |grep snd
snd_hda_codec_realtek 67127 1
snd_hda_codec_generic 63142 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek

I have a gigabyte MB/rig connected to Svideo out on my TV. I have external PC speakers connected to my sound card. For some reason when I go to play video, streaming audio, or streaming video I get no sound. I go into alsamixer via CLI and all is unmuted. I reboot, sound is back. The next day I load boxee, no sound. It's not just boxee when I have no sound. If I close boxee and open vlc and stream online radio, I get no sound either. Reboot, sound is back. No external errors of hardware conflicts either.
Running Ubuntu 10.04, 64bit , kernel 2.6.32-24-generic

Is there any way in Debian to record streaming audio from the soundcard, after it has been decoded by a player or a browser?
Of course, the best way to record streaming audio is to grab the stream directly, but with emerging technologies, before the stream grabbers catch up, it can be difficult or impossible to directly grab a stream. The Akamai HDS format is a good example of this. The fragment packets are hard to grab individually and hard to combine. Something like [URL] .... didn't work for me.
Furthermore, as technology advances, stream grab techniques will have to play catchup.
But what normally works is capture from the soundcard, after the stream has been decoded by the player or browser. I have used Total Recorder [URL] .... on windows to do this for many years.
Is there a debian package that can capture sound from the soundcard, and save it as mp3 or ogg? And will this package run on the raspberry pi?

I have been trying to find something that does this for some time now and discussions on IRC didn't turn up anything usefull - thats why this post for a prolonged discussion I have Ubuntu Server 10.4 installed (no X) and am trying to use it as an upnp media renderer. I would like to be able to playback their music on the servers soundcard from various devices. Thus it would be nice to have the ubuntu server expose an upnp media-renderer which one can use as an output device.
Is there a suggestion on which software to use? What I already have working is an upnp media-server (mediatomb) with ampache, but this isn't really what I'd like since I don't have as much disk-space on the server as I have on the various computers.

I just started to play with ssh so I connected to my media-pc with ssh from my laptop. I was always able to start a music player and play the music on the media-pc. Since yesterday the sound is gone. When I do top on the mediapc, I see my player running.
When I open my player locally on the mediapc, I can hear the music.
I think the sound disappeared after a update, but maybe it disappeared because I opened a player locally (on the mediapc) I don't know.
The laptop and mediapc both use a fully updated 9.10
update: when I connect from mediapc to laptop, I can play music on my laptop

I'm looking for better tweak my current streaming setup to my analog TV. I'm running everything from the S-Video out on my graphics card to the s-video input on my TV so in essence my computer is occupied if i'm watching something streaming from it.I have an digital converter box hooked up to my tv via coax and a upscaling dvd player to it via component video.Is there a way I could run the streaming in the background or get it so it sends a full true signal and converts it much like the digital video?

I've found it so incredibly easy to stream media from my computers to the TV under Win7 and it really bites me because I want it to be like that in Ubuntu too. But it isn't. sources for streaming media from Ubuntu to a network-connected TV?

I've been trying for a day to get sounds working on my HTPC which is running Ubuntu Server (Natty) and XBMC from the repositories. I have so far had no luck, with not so much as a peep on any channel - analog, optical or over HDMI.
My setup is a ASUS AT3IONT-I with an Intel Atom CPU. I think this is a common configuration which should not require any special treatment, and I also have a friend with the same hardware and no problems running XBMC on OpenSUSE.
XBMC is installed according to the instructions here [URL] with a user named xbmc etc. It works wonderfully in every aspect except that the sound is missing alltogether.
I've been following [URL] for troubleshooting but have now run out of ideas, which is why I'm asking you.
Code:
aplay -l
gives me
Code:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
[Code]....
I tried filling in with all the details I could think of, but if you wish to know something more I'll be glad to provide it.
