Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Audio Playback Of Music At All Until Scrubber Moved / Fix It?
Apr 21, 2011
I have a problem with audio file playback (all formats - mp3, ogg, etc.). When I try to play a file with rhythmbox or totem, the whole system gets sluggish and the mouse pointer jerks about the screen and there is no sound at all... UNTIL I drag the playback slider along with the mouse for a second, then playback is normal and the mouse pointer and system returns to normal speed... How do I fix this?
Problem is on maverick 10.10
top shows this if run from another machine using ssh. code...

I am having music playback issues in lucid right now. When I try to play music through any player, the music plays at a slightly higher speed - roughly 10% faster (a 3:17 song finishes in 2:5. I tried installing 10.10 and had the same problem, and I just went back to 10.04 with a fresh install and still seeing the issue. Is this a common problem for people? My sound hardware is the following as reported by lspci
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
For reference, I also have 2 other boxes in the house running 10.04 with different sound hardware with no issues. Their hardware are:
00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

I've been tweaking my kernel for RT performance over the past few days, and just recently, it's begun randomly cutting sound playback, and I can't seem to figure out why.
Was watching a movie last night using VLC, and about 5 minutes in, sound playback just totally stopped while video kept working. Sound driver in VLC was set to Pulseaudio. I switched it to ALSA and the problem seemed fixed.
In Decibel Audio Player, the tracks randomly just stop in the middle of a song occasionally (every 5 songs or so, give or take), and a little red 'X' appears next to the track that got "skipped." Screenshot:

Don't recall it happening before I tweaked all the RT audio settings.

I am trying to record audio playback from an application and the microphone at the same time on recordmydesktop using pulse audio. I just can't figure out how to mix them both. I have tried a lot already and can only get either the mic or the audio playback to be recorded, not both. Can this be done using pavucontroll?
I have been search now for hours to find a solution (also here on the forum) for this and getting really frustrated now. Maybe i'm just missing something really obvious, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

This is 16 bit / 44100 Hz sample. Try to plyback this sample in your favorite music player, and after that try to use command "play SB_test.wav". You see, second part of this file sounds very differently. This is because all your 44100 Hz audio resampled 48000 Hz. It's ok if you watch DVD's (48000 Hz audio), but nasty if you listen CD-Audio (44100 Hz), DVD-Audio or Blu-ray (24 bit / 96000 Hz and 192000 Hz). My question is: how to playback audio with different characteristics without resampling?

how can I adjust the volume level while recording audio playback and microphone at the same time? I managed to increase the audio playback volume with PulseAudio Volume Control (Input devices -> Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo -> pressing green button "Set as fallback"), but once I click on that green button, no no microphone sound is recorded.
Details:
- using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- recording audio with Sound Recorder
- installed PulseAudio Device Choooser and PulseAudio Volume Control
- Input devices -> Internal Audio Analog Stereo --> shows the sound from microphone
[code]...
- how to adjust volume of audioplayback and microphone recording and record both as a mix together? Thanks!
PS: I checked out this thread, but haven't figured out how to adjust the volumes.

Have any of the main music streaming sites (ex. Pandora, Rhapsody, Grooveshark, etc.) made it possible to stream audio without using flash, (other than via iPhone apps)? Have any of them made any strides with regard to implementing html5 functionality?
I know html5 will make more options available for streaming audio over the web, but I have not seen or used html5 for anything yet. The only method that I know of for streaming audio without flash, although I haven't tried it, is via html5 video on ...... This is certainly a suboptimal method for streaming music since the audio quality cannot be guaranteed and is likely mediocre. Nonetheless, I've heard that it works. Also, as a second unrelated question, are there any open source flash players that you guys have used to stream audio from these music sites? I tried a group of different players like Gnash about 6 months ago and failed to stream Pandora or Grooveshark.

Ubuntu 64bit. The sound system works and plays noises correctly when I test the speakers in sound preferances. The internet BBCi player(Radio) plays sound correctly. Banshee & Rhythmbox try to play music files at double, or more, speed with no sound output. Spotify Linux version also tries to playback at double speed with no sound output. Media Player attempts to play music files at high speed. Media player plays the Video and audio tracks at high speed. VLC Will play the video at normal speed but with no audio.

I recently installed Linux - fedora 10. This is the first time im working with Linux, I have no idea about Linux OS. My problem is when i playmusic in real player 10 or rhythm box, the sound switches On and Off. F10 detects my sound card, I believe there must be some settings that needs to be corrected, My sound card is inbuilt in motherboard(Intel). I ran Alsamixer and alsactl store as root.
Volume is at 100th level and it not mute. Still the same, sound switches On and Off. Should I change anything in the settings of volume control? i have choosen Device as HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer), is that correct??I ran Alsamixer and alsactl store as root.

I've just bought a very cheap USB sound device as the jacks built into my laptop are practically dead. I bought it as I'd googled around and seen that other people have it working in linux. Anyway, I plug it in and am able to select "USB AUDIO (ALSA)" from the xfce4-mixer. However, I don't get any sound from any applications.
Here is my aplay -l output:
Code:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: default [USB AUDIO], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I can't find any options for the output on alsamixer and don't really know what to do. I'm running Mint with xfce4 on a Dell Studio 15.

I am wondering about scheduling audio playback under Ubuntu. The background is this: My birthday is fast approaching, and I always try to do something to remember the best birthday gift I ever received, that being the Apollo 11 mission; Neil and Buzz landed on my 12th birthday.
Anyway, I have a wagonload of audio from nasa.gov and would like to schedule the MP3s to play in real time. 'at' won't do it, at least with 'mplayer'; I've tried. I suspect that because there is no controlling terminal for jobs run under 'at', the audio has no place to go. Is there some way to get a controlling terminal for these audio playback jobs, or specify a destination to some player?

I have the nvidia sound card built into my motherboard. Just a few hours ago it started to just stop making any noises what so ever. I rebooted but to no avail. I finally was able to find a fix by purging pulse AND alsa, then reinstalling them and rebooting. The problem is this will only allow my sound to work for about 10-15 mins. Kinda hard to watch "'Neath the Arizona Sky" if you gotta reboot every 15 minutes or so...
I have also purge and reinstalled ubuntu-desktop and that will work temporarily and extend me out another 10-15 mins from when it stopped, but then I still have to reboot.
I am using 10.10 Maverick 64 bit and have been using it for a while, this is the first time this or any other problem has occured.
I have been through the forums and checked every thread I could find with a Bingle search that was in any way related to random sound stoppage. I have tried most of them (did not try the ones that were specific to other cards as far as editing the .conf's for those cards)

I recently installed Fedora 13 in my laptop, installed the audio codecs(mp3..and etc) and worked just like a dream. But every time I try to play a mpeg, avi, mov file in a player (vlc, xine, mplayer) I get no video, just a black screen. But I get the audio from the video.

I can't get grip to playback an audio disc. Seems like the most simple of it's functions. I am not aware of any other issue with grip's operation.... including ripping a disc.
what I should be looking for?
F14 with pulseaudio... I have no other audio problems with audio on this machine that I am aware of.
I should have added the following:
In the "status" tab within grip, the only entry is "Grip started successfully". Grip is playing... the tracks advance, track time advances and the player is running. In the "Applications" tab of "Sound Preferences" it reads, "No application is currently playing or recording audio." If I start grip from a terminal window.... no errors appear.

Sounds like a trivial thing, but how do you do it? How do you play a plain red book audio CD? I have tried xmms, audacious and mplayer. The only success I have had (if you can call it that) is with the latter, mplayer. Using the command:
Code:
mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/sr0 cdda://3 -cache 6000
I get the warnings:
Code:
Cache not filling, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min!
Cache not filling, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min!
The program plays the audio, but there is a huge latency prior to starting the playback, making it very cumbersome to change tracks and having to wait. I have tried with various cache values as well as using the "-cache-min" argument, to no avail. What values are certain to work?
As for xmms and audacious I get the errors:
Audacious: When trying "audacious /dev/sr0"
Code:
unix-io: read failed: Input/output error.
MADPlug-Message: Rejecting file:///dev/sr0; cannot read from file.
unix-io: read failed: Input/output error.
unix-io: read failed: Input/output error.
XMMS: When trying "xmms /dev/sr0": No error
It simply does nothing except starting up and not playing. My system is a 32-bit Slackware 13.1.0 on a fast x86. I have tried with different audio CDs.

Fresh install of debian lenny / mostly default load
VLC 1.0.5 install
cd rom
dvd rom
vlc plays cd (no audio but can see tracking of song) but not dvd
fstab (cannot edit -permissions and don't know how to effect the proper permissions)
fstab
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
someone recommended changing to
/dev/cdrom1 /""
Don't see how that would fix audio but anyway cannot change fstab.
checked advanced input / codec in VLC
dvd = dev/hdb
cd = dev/hda
Totem -plays the dvd but quality / volume is not there, prefer VLC. Soundjuicer plays the audio with sound nicely. Just would like VLC to do it all.

Every time I log in, I get the following notification from Phonon: The audio playback device does not work. Falling back to RV635 Audio device [Radeon HD 3600 Series] Digital Stereo (HDMI) and of course, I get no sound.
Sound is integrated Intel HD "82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller" (courtesy of lshw), and it did work before, it just seems to have appeared suddenly out of nowhere, I can't even tell when and whether it's connected to any updates or other configuration changes.

We have a headless linux server (Debian 5) we use for running integration tests of our web-page code. Among these tests are ones implemented using Selenium, which practically simulates a user browsing our pages and clicking on things. One of these tests is failing now, because it involves starting a flash-based audio player and checking to see whether the progress bar gets displayed properly. The reason this test fails is that there is no way to play the audio, and no sound card on the machine, which has simple webserver hardware.
So, my question would be: Is there a simple way of giving a program the impression that its audio output is being processed, and playback is taking place? I don't have to record the playback, or redirect it or anything like that, just a dummy soundcard, like the dummy X-server we are using, which actually does not need to display stuff.
I have tried using JACK, but it's too complicated, and the documentation does not even answer this very simple question. I also installed alsa on the server; it 'pretends' to run, but when a program tries to play audio, just spews error and debug information having to do with the non-existence of a soundcard.

I've had an awkward problem lately: every music player I use wants to instead of play music from my USB external hard drive, stream music from it. I have no idea why it suddenly started doing that. It may have been an accidental key-combo I pressed, thinking I had another window targeted and didn't bother pressing it again for my Totem music player. So I closed out of Totem in hopes that Rythmbox would work like totem used to. Well, it doesn't. It wants to stream music now.The problem with the streaming music is trivial, but here it is: I have a playlist with a little over 300 songs. I have Totem set to shuffle and repeat my music. Streaming music with it makes it just stop randomly after a few songs, and when I try to pause music and play it later it takes a good 30 seconds before it kicks back in at the beginning of the song.Like I always ask because I don't know enough to give back to the community yet, can anyone help me? Thanks.
