I've had a major problem getting my mic to work with pulseaudio. After looking around for a while I see that I'm certainly not the only one.I have run a whole lot of suggested commands - copied all sorts of lines into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf - upped all sorts of volume controls with alsamixer or pulseaudio - uninstalled and reinstalled - upgraded and..NOTHING WORKSI actually messed around with it so much that I had to reinstall Ubuntu again (10.04)I have been using linux on-and-off for a while but have never been the kind of person to remember all these long commands...so please consider me to be Newbie (as I feel like one at the moment)I'm sure if there's anyone out there able to help they'll need a bit of info about the machine.
This is after a fresh install - so please feel free to take anything step-by-step upgrades...commands...the lotLets start with:Packard Bell EasyNote V5 series (V5910)00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)The sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.config - brings up
I installed it on a Dell Inspiron 531 with the GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 built in video card. From the recommend driver list I installed �NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended
Well, turns out it should not have been recommended. I had restarted and all I got was a low res ubuntu logo and a boot right into a full screen terminal. Tried startx and got a no screens found, I look online for about an hour last night and decided to just reinstall, which takes a couple hours when installing all the packages.
I have done more research today and found to install the latest linux x64 driver from nVidias website, which I did, but it does not run. I followed some more instructions and it said to do a �sudo chmod +x <file>� which I did, and it starts to open and I get �You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.�
I�m starting to get a little frustrated here, guess I�m just used to a lot of the ease of windows and assumed that something like installing a graphics card driver would be easy.
I have a Dell 1525 and I just installed Ubuntu on it. The Multimedia keys (previous, stop, play/pause, next) and volume control keys (mute, increase, decrease) buttons aren't working at all. Is there anyway I can get them to work?
I finally installed Squeeze on my laptop and found out that the XF86Audio multimedia keys do not work.
When I press them, they're correctly identified by xev but they do not produce the desired effect (raise/lower/mute volume, play/pause/stop/prev/next song in media players like Sonata).
Funnily enough though, they do work in Audacious, which has its own plugin to manage XF86Audio media keys.
So it's like the action of pressing these keys is not intercepted by the system and no event is triggered.
I think this might be due to a missing package or configuration but I have no idea where to look...
My fresh install of 10.04 on my newly built desktop won't play a DVD. Samsung 24X DVD Burner SH-S243N/BEBS I am sure there is some little programplugin I need.
I was replacing my media setup(10.04) with an upgrade and encountered the following problem: I can't get the tv out working. I tried both with the NVidia drivers and without a xorg.conf file (vesa, according to xorg.log) The motherboard is an Asus P4P800-VM (with integrated graphics), the GPU is an old NVidia GeForce 4 MX 440. I took the card from the old setup because of the tv-out, so I know the card itself is fine, using a crt monitor on the VGA port also works without problems. I noticed that the old setup also used the tv as its screen, for displaying the BIOS POST and bootscreen, while the new machine just stays blank(no signal). There is an option in the bios to set a tv as the primary boot screen, but to no effect. Using the xorg.conf generated by the myhtbuntu installer, the console (tty1-6) has this weird pink color, this does not occur when generating the config with the nvidia tools, or when completely deleting the xorg.conf file.
i updated 10.10 to 11.04 and since then my mic doesnt get recognized anymore. At soundpreference's input i only have 1 option which were 3 before i updated to 11.04 , anyone know how to fix this ?
I can not get my usb dvb-t sick working. It is a hauppauge WinTV-HVR 900 hybrid TV stick.The number on the backside is: M/R: 65018/BC20.Some time ago I read somewhere that this model was supposed to work with ubuntu 9.10.But I still have trouble setting it up. Does anyone know if there is a way to make it work?
I have a Gateway NV52 with an internal microphone and internal webcam. On Windows, both work fine, but on Ubuntu I can only get the webcam to work. I never used one on Ubuntu (using Karmic Koala 64 bit) before, so I may be overlooking something.

I've tried looking around but I can't figure out what's going on here. I used uShare before and it worked without a hitch! I followed these instructions here to the T. However, I recently did a reinstallation of 9.10 and followed the exact same instructions, and now I can't get uShare to come up on my PS3 (I haven't changed any settings on the PS3 or network since then, just reinstalled Ubuntu). Side note. Using
I have just installed 9.10, unfortunately sound is not working. I have an 275 gtx video card that is connected via HDMI cable. The spdif is connected via the motherboard and video card.
The builtin mic of my laptop stoped working. When I go to alsamixer the sound card enabled is "(default)" and it only has the Master volume. If I hit f6, I can see "0 HDA Nvidia". When I change to it, this is the output I have.
When trying to run emesene, this message appears: "Error during login, please retry (Protocol not supported by server)" I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. I searched for this particular error message, as well as errors regarding "emesene" in general, but it seems no-one is having problems with ut (or, perhaps no-one is using it).
I have tried the following:Installing emesene from Synaptic Package Manager Installing emesene from this website (as well as from the 'Lucid' page) Installing it via terminal (sudo apt-get install emesene) The error occurs both when using a hotmail adress, as well as a non-hotmail adress. because this programme is in fact not meant to work in Ubuntu 8.04? In that case, I wish someone told me, because I couldn't figure it out.
I have been researching this for a few days and I am getting nowhere. All I want to do is play midi files in Ubuntu 10.04 and also in Firefox. If I install, for ex. Rosegarden it will play the midi but without sound.I have timidity installed as well as mozplugger. From the start midis partially work in Totem, but the sound is far from right.
I never had this much of an issue with midi before, really starting to irritate me.Is this a pulseaudio issue? I really don't feel like playing around with jack either, never have luck with it. It seems that installing timidty should have allowed me to play midi files on my computer.
A few days ago I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop PC (i had 9.10 before since its release). Everything is just working, except one annoying thing: i cannot get the microphone work I have searched several days the net, but cannot solve so far the problem. Tried sound recorder, Skype, but nothing. Maybe It is important to mention, that I have a TV-tuner card, and it works fine, the tuner output is hooked into the line-in on my motherboard (and sound is okey). I was playing with several things trying to solve the problem:
I'm a proud user of ubuntu 9.10 and have used it pretty much..
i have found this great alternative to msn messenger.. which i called emesene .1.6
but my webcam isn't working.. it do in Amsn, but im not satisfied with that program.. what happens? when i click the show webcam icon, and the other user accepts.. a black box is coming up, and nothing happens from here,, i have libmimic installed but still not function...
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.
Downloaded the above as a Deb package, installed but got nothing working.Anyone had any look with this yet.Its exactly what I need as I had the original Streamtuner installed and it was perfect
I've been using Ubuntu for several months now. The sound was working just fine until now. I installed an update I put off that came 9/20/10. I restarted and my sound no longer works. The speakers built into the laptop doesn't work nor do the headphones. I tried going to the preferences to fix it, but my sound card info wasn't there anymore. Dummy Output was in my Output. I've been searching frantically for a solution but found none. I think my driver has been uninstalled some how but I'm not sure. I use the laptop for multimedia purposes, so please respond as soon as possible. I would GREATLY appreciate it. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my Acer Aspire 5532 laptop.
I'm a new Ubuntu user and I've only been using it for a couple of days. I realized that my external speakers do not work. I've been looking around for ways to solve it. I used alsamixer to look up my chip and card and stuff and it was
HDA Intel Realtek ALC888
I ran a script which said it could get my speakers working by updating the alsa drivers, but not System->Preferences->Sound doesn't even show any sound card (Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio is what I have) and alsamixer fails to run. I'm just trying to get my speakers to work. Also System -> Preferences -> Sound now doesn't show my webcam mic or internal sound either...
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop on a seperate partition, so completely clean install, now I've installed various wireless card drivers and the likes. It all works perfectly. Except for, of course, my sound. I am on a Dell Studio XPS 16, and I've tried google searching but no one has had the same problem it seems.
