Ubuntu Multimedia :: Myth Front End Will Not Start
Sep 26, 2010
I have an htpc running mythbuntu 10.04 connected to a plasma tv via hdmi. Initially i was able to boot fine and the front end loaded ok but the resolution was off. My display is 1024x768 but my only options in myth was to use 1024x720. I have since enabled the proprietary ATI video driver. Now my desktop dispay perfect on the tv. However, i can no longer start the mythtv front end. I also ran an update that updated over 100 packages.

Im trying to get sound to work in mplayer for my myth tv box. My hardware setup is a nvidia motherboard with hdmi (not used) and a geforce 210 with hdmi (that is used). The hdmi is connect to an external amplifier that should handle most things. Sound works fine in mythtv - the audio output device used is:
ALSA:hdmi:Card=Nvidia_1,DEV=1
When I try using the command line speaker-test utility it all works:
speaker-test -Dplughw:2,7 -c6
However, aplay and mplayer both dont give any sound - with neither outputting any error messages.

I spent over an hour today and over an hour last night googling and trying everything and so far no success. I found many threads with oddly similar complaints, but their solutions haven't worked for me.Last week I upgraded my system, basically a complete overhaul (in the old case). The new system is based on an ASUS MB which comes with VIA VT1708B audio onboard. I installed the latest 32-bit Linux Mint on it. The case's front audio jack doesn't work, the rear audio works but is too quiet.
Things I have tried that have not worked:Different combinations of settings in the basic sound preferences dialog, the GNOME ALSA mixer, and the PulseAudio volume control (I've probably played around with these so much that I've tried every combination)

Basically as the title suggests. I'm a linux noob, I've spent a few hour's looking around, but all I seem to be finding is people with problems of no sound, and so I dont know if the solution would be the same.
I have perfect sound from the rear speakers, the front centre, and the sub, but the front left and right are completely silent.
Things I think anyone may need to know
Mobo - GA-880GM-UD2H
Onboard sound - SBx00 Azalia Intel HDA
Ubuntu 10.10 x64

I have strange problem that I couldn't even find on google.
When I play any video in VLC or any other player my video is on top of everything.
For example, if I open a video and play it - everything looks ok. But, if I open another window "above" VLC, video suddenly appears at top and I can't see window opened in front of VLC.
This print-screen will make it more clear.

Getting sound out of the back ports just fine. Using an ASUS P5N73-AM motherboard and a fresh install of 10.04. Everything else works perfectly except the blasted front panel headphone port.

We tried to burn an audio cd with the default burner in Ubuntu, but we can only play the cd on the computer. I was not in front of the computer, another user was, but I think they used Audio CD Extractor )

I run Ubuntu 10.10 on my Intel DG965RY. My front audio ports don't work in Ubuntu, the rear one does. I never got it working earlier when I had Ubuntu 10.04 but this time I am going to try it again. My codec is SigmaTel STAC9227
My ALSA information is here.
Handy details:
!!ALSA Version
!!------------
Driver version: 1.0.23
Library version: 1.0.23
Utilities version: 1.0.23
[Code].....
I know something that I will have to change the model of my module to make the front audio jack works but I couldn't find a model related line in my ALSA configuration file - /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (I was able to get to that point in Ubuntu 10.04, may be something has changed).

After a recent hardware upgrade, I'm no longer able to use the front panel audio ports on my Antec P180 case. They worked fine before with my old ASUS motherboard, but with my new MSI 870-G45 motherboard I can't get them to work for some reason.
I checked out this thread, [URL] but didn't see much in the way of problems/solutions with front panel audio ports, but it's a lengthy thread so maybe I missed it.

I have seen numerous reports of laptops heating up and the cause has been attributed to Linux. Is this a myth or is there some reality to this?

I recently bought an HP Pavilion Elite HPE-570t. Except for the fact that I can't get the back speaker jack to work, Maverick works great. Here's info that seems relevant:
aplay -l
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[Code]....
I've look at Alsa Mixer. There are two tabs (IDT ID 76c7 and ATI R6xx HDMI). I turned the second one off, since I don't have any HDMI sound output device connected to the computer. On the other tab, there are five sliders (Master, PCM, Front Mi, Line and Mic). They are all turned on, and the first two are at maximum volume.
It seems to me that Ubuntu is not recognizing whatever controls the rear speaker jack.

now half of the speakers plug is stuck in the back of my PC. cant get it out, because it's very deep. i decided to use the front jack for sound but it wont work.already tried alsa mixer and upgraded my kernel.i think the problem is that i need to somehow kill the jack in the back of PC because its still alive and sending signals to that half-dead jack

I'm using a Realtek alc888 sound chipset (integrated on GA-P965-DS3 mobo) which is capable of 8-channel output (front, side, rear, center/sub). The front-out jack on my mobo is disfunctional and thus can't be used (aweful distortions and such dueo faulty connection), thus it needs to be reassigned to another jack, but simulating a 'front-out' jack. I was able to do this in windows using the Realtek HD Audio application that comes with the drivers (reassigning jacks) and need to do something similar in ubuntu.I've searched through a lot of ALSA documentation, tried to take examples of switching channels using asound.conf and modify them to my needs, but nothing has come of it. As such I've resorted to asking here.Another less important issue is doing something similar but duplicating front-out and mapping it onto the side-out jack, for headphones.

with my motherboard the onboard back sound jack's audio is VERY quiet, but the front jacks wired into HD audio work fine. (I'm building an htpc, btw.)
I tried for weeks to get it to work, but eventually I just pulled a cheap Dynex DX-SC51 card from another machine and turns out it works, but now I can't use the inputs and headphone jack on the front of the case without going into system>preferences>sound and changing "output" back to "internal analog audio stereo"
Is there any way to activate these two audio devices at the same time?

Sometime back I installed cpufreq. Now while I know quite little about cpufreq, what little I understand tells me it can do two things :-
a. Give the user the capability to change frequencies - there is something called max frequencies and minimum frequencies and the user can play between them.
b. Show the cpufrequencies via the GNOME cpufreq plugin/applet.
Now while its able to show me the frequencies, I'm not able to find a GNOME or GTK front-end which I can use to set the frequencies. I did read a little bit about something called 'governers' which from what I learnt are something similar to profiles - as in you want to be conservative, powersave, ondemand and performance.
1. I'm looking for a Gnome-GTK CPU setting frequency GUI.
2. If somebody wants to share more info. about the whole cpu frequency thing that is also very welcome as I'm not really aware as to how can I do things a bit more intelligently so I'm able to get a bit more performance while not using much energy (can be done or cannot be done ?) but that discussion hopefully comes later after I've a tool through which I can do the same in GUI.

I have openSUSE 11.4 KDE version (64-bit) on a desktop PC. My sound card is ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 (PCI-E). I am brand-new to the Linux experience. I get audio out to my speakers which are connected to the jacks of the rear I/O panel of my PC. I do not however get audio out to my headphones which are connected to the jack in the front panel. I know that the headphones work fine because they do so when I boot up in Windows XP. Here is what I discovered so far: KMix does not show that I have a front panel audio channel. But when I run AlsaMixer it does show that I have such channel and, upon manually turning the volume on, I do have sound out to the headphones.
Therefore, I deduct that I have some sort of configuration problem with KMix and would like to fix it as I prefer to use the GUI interface instead of the AlsaMixer one. It's just a matter of preference! I would like to troubleshoot things using the Audio Troubleshooting guide (SDB:Audio troubleshooting - openSUSE) but I notice that openSUSE's version 11.4 is not mentioned in it. Should I follow the instructions for version 11.3 or wait for an updated guide?

I just installed 10.10) i had speaker audio on my laptop but the front jacks for head phones didn't work. After fidiling with some config files, i forget which config thing it is in but there was numerous mentions about where you had to put "options I am already added to the audio group for my computer and running vlc as root does not work (vlc-wrapper) regular won't run as root, i tried that because i have fixed other hardware problems by running programs as root. The laptop is a HP Pavillion dv5-1000 and has a regular sound card and a hdmi port (the sound is configured to play out of the non hdmi one)

I am thinking about buildinga box to be a dvr, so I did a search on myth tv. Back in 2009 Waterhead advised a questioner that he needed to be prepared for a steep learning curve to install myth tv. I am a relative newbie, is this still the case, or have newer releases such as Mythbuntu made it easier?

Does support exist for the MacPro1,1's front headphone port yet? Strangely I cannot get either of the rear analog audio ports to work either. I have tried setting
options snd-hda-intel model=imac24
options snd-hda-intel model=macpro
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
and totally removing the line of the alsa-base.conf file. I restarted after each of these tests. Only the imac24 option does anything, activating the front speaker, but none of the 1/8" analog ports work then. I run Ubuntu exclusively on this box, so I would really love to get some sort of output other than the internal speaker working. Ideally this would be the front headphones jack, but I am not too picky.

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 and I cant seem get the sound working properly. I have a checked to make sure that nothing is muted, and I do have sound over the rear channel when I change the wiring on the physical machine. However, I get no sound over the headphone channel. I also changed the conf for pulseaudio to have a default of 2 sound channels. In addition the sound works fine in my Fedora 13 and Win 7 installs, this is a triple boot machine .

I have two windows A and B open unmaximized such that their area overlaps with A in front. If I click window B it gets the focus as I expect, but window A stays on top of it. All my keyboard events get sent to window B correctly, but I need to click on the title bar for it to appear on top of window A. Switching windows using Alt+TAB or taskbar click works as I expect - window B will appear on top. I encountered this in 10.4, not sure if it was there before or I only noticed it now. Is this a bug or some setting somewhere I need to adjust?

I'm having a frustrating problem with a .sh script. It's a fairly simple script to get a volume readout in Conky. I refer to the .sh file in my Conky file as such;
[Code]...
It seems to be talking about; if [ $mute == "[on]" ] What else would it be expecting and why does it work using Front & Surround but nothing else? I've attached a pic. The volume script I'm trying to get working is just under the clock. I'd really love to get the Master volume working on this.

I just installed a copy of Ubuntu 11.04 yesterday on a spare computer. I'm having trouble getting the front panel of my Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty to work. The sound card works just fine when I plug my headphones into the analog stereo output in the back. I'm not trying to do anything fancy with it right now like digital optical out or anything, just trying to get the one analog output on the front panel to work so I can plug my headphones in up front and leave the speakers plugged in the back.

The microphone input of the soundcard itself (it is an on-board Realtek card, standard with most Nforce4 boards) works just fine. Recording quality is very good. But when I try to use the mic input on the front of my PC case, pulseaudio receives no signal from the microphone. Skype doesn't work, Audacity can't record anything either.
Everything is wired inside the case just fine, Windows XP has no problems in using the input on the front. Also the Line-out at the same panel on the front works in F12 without problems, it is just the mic input that doesn't work.
