I am still having a problem with pulseaudio. When I login I have no sound. I have to click on the pulseaudio applet on the panel and select default server. I hear a sound and I am good to go. Any suggestions out there?I have a related thread, the link is below.HTML Code:[URL]
View 1 RepliesI have a problem on a fresh install of Jessie with KDE. I have three soundcards. In Wheezy I used pavucontrol once for each application to change the sink from the internal to the external soundcard, and that setting would stick each time I rebooted the system (audio would go on the external soundcard). Now each time I reboot the audio gets routed to the internal soundcard and I have to use pavucontrol each time to route the audio back to the external one. URL...
putting this line in /etc/pulse/default.pa
set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-E-MU_Systems__Inc._E-MU_0404___USB_E-MU-0E-3F04-07D80A14-027A8-STATION_01-00-USB.analog-stereo
as well as this one, and issuing:
pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-E-MU_Systems__Inc._E-MU_0404___USB_E-MU-0E-3F04-07D80A14-027A8-STATION_01-00-USB.analog-stereo
and none of them has worked. I don't know if it's a related issue, but the settings I choose in the for Phonon in the KDE multimedia settings don't stick either. I select the external soundcard as default device and upon reboot the internal one is on top on the preferences list.
I hear no sound with pulseaudio, but I hear the "ready for login" sound after the x server starts. OS: Ubuntu x86 10.04

The default output audio port Ubuntu doesn't work on my system. It should be "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier", instead of "Analog Output/Amplifier". I can easily change that in sound preferences, just by choosing the right port in the "Output" tab, or by issuing the following command:
Code: pacmd 'set-sink-port' 'alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.5.analog-stereo analog-output-mono;output-amplifier-on' The problem is both solutions apply only to a single account, while I would like to change it system-wide, so it applies to all accounts on the system (there are more then 100 accounts - it's a set up for a school).I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.
I'm building myself a light htpc with Ubuntu 10.10 Server without Gnome, but with XBMC and I'd like the ability to stream sound from my other computers to the htpc which is connected to the soundsystem.
But I can't get it to work. Alsa (before I started with Pulseaudio) played the sound from Xbmc. After that I installed pulseaudio, removed my user from the audio-group and added myself to the pulse-access-group. I also tried to set the default alsa-device to pulse (see attached .asoundrc at the bottom) since the default setup didn't work for me. When I try to play a sound file, I get this error message.

I will cut to the chase. I am running three ubuntu computers on my local network:my desktop which runs ethernet, and two laptops which run wireless on the same network, and all from the same router. For purpose of this thread, I am concentrating on this one issue with pulse(assuming its pulse doing this). When I have two computers running at the same time, or even all three, I can hear bursts of sound coming from the other computer, not all the time, but consistently. I don't know what is causing this. I've searched hi and low in all ubuntu pulse audio forums and those mentioning pulseaudio and I have not seen this issue posted anywhere. Most threads deal with issues of not being able to get pulse to recognise audio from one computer to the other...mine is just the opposite...I'M TRYING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING!...... If I'm listening to my music on my desktop, I don't want to hear what my son is playing on his laptop...and vice versa. all the computers at my home are running lucid lynx, latest updates and latest approved kernel as of the date of this post. 2.6.32-26-generic.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI shall try and keep it short. Under Sys->Prefs->Sound I have selected pulseaudio server for input and output. Under Pulse-Audio manager->devices I can see the motherboard, a usb webcam, and my new soundcard. I edited the ~/.pulse source and sink files to match the new soundcard (alsa_output.pcixxxx_alsa_playback_0 and so on) under PulseAudio manager_> modiles the id numbers match the right info in the /proc/asound/cardX/pcmi0/info files
Under pulseaudio volume I set the default input and output to be the new soundcard. But in pulseaudio volume control I can see the USB webcam is still the input, and any sound still gets output to the motherboard. Is something overriding pulseaudio, or have I missed something. (The motherboard mic socket is broke, and the USB mike isn't good enough so I really need to get the soundblaster Audigy SE up and going)
Based on my experience with external devices such as USB microphones and USB speakers, PulseAudio always defaults to the motherboard/built-in device rather than any USB device.My expectation is that if someone is using an external USB device to supplement what is on the motherboard/built-in, they are going to be doing that to overcome a limitation of the motherboard/built-in devices, and therefore it is logical that when external USB devices are present on a system, these be the default. (For example, I want sound from my beefy set of Logitech USB speakers and not from the tinny notebook speakers).
It is no problem for me to manually set/reset the active device, however I believe that the average user expects to plug in a USB microphone or speakers and assume that the system will automatically change the default. Furthermore without this action, some users not used to the Linux audio settings will be led to believe that the USB devices are not supported, when in fact it is simply a problem that they have not been selected for use rather than the motherboard/built-in devices.I think this warrants me entering a bug report, but I wanted to hear what others think before proceeding to enter a bug report.Is the default behavior of PulseAudio towards USB devices wrong? What do you think?
I would like to use HDMI on my graphic card for audio output. ALSA shows it as a card with 4 devices and I can get sound through one of them (the other three are different channels, perhaps? I have only stereo output connected). Although Pulseaudio has the right card set as default, it seems to me that it plays on a wrong device. Pacmd shows that the sink has parameter alsa.device set to the first device listed by ALSA, but I can get sound only from the second one.How can I force Pulseaudio to use another device of the same card as a default output?

It seems starting up gives a ton of errors I can't really isolate. The above boot errors are in no order. I just pasted them all together.
What happens is randomly when Im browsing through videos on ....., it crashes back to the login screen. Im guessing this has something to do with Opera's plugin/Sound/Pulse Audio.
While trying to fix the audio lag problem with skype I have created a new problem. This is what I did.Everything was working fine until I uninstalled pulseaudiorom pplications>Ubuntu Software Centre>Installed Software. I removed just about everything pulseaudio. I than restarted ubuntu 10.04LTS. When I attempt to login it seems to go black for a sec then kicks me back to the login screen again. I get no errors. If I do "ctrl, alt, F1" I can login no problem so I know it's not my password.
I've had nothing but trouble with Pulseaudio in Fedora 14. I had managed to get rid of it in Fedora 10 with the command: su -c "yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio pulseaudio" I just don't want to have to deal with Pulseaudio anymore. It does not like my sound card and gets in the way. Is there a Linux distribution that does not use Pulseaudio ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed skype 2.1 beta 2 (the deb file) from the skype website, but the only option I see under Sound Devices -> Recording is "PulseAudio Server (local)" This doesn't work for me, as the skype test calls don't actually record anything I say. I use skype a lot and FINALLY got it working under karmic, but I needed to upgrade to lucid and now it's broken.
When I open Sound preferences and look at the Applications section, Skype shows up as recording when I run its test call... but no sound is recorded? How is it possible that my sound card picks up something recording but doesn't actually record it when I'm in skype?
i'm using OpenSuSE 11.2 and was wondering if there is anyway to set remote login as the default login method.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis tutorial is meant for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, but it might work in earlier or later versions as well. I wrote this tutorial mostly because it took me a full day of work using lots of help from people on #mpd and #pulseaudio from the FreeNode IRC server.The goal is to get the MPD daemon working using PulseAudio, but without it being dependent on the X server or a session. To do that we must configure PulseAudio to run in system-wide daemon mode (which is not recommended by the developers, but in this case we do not have a choice). This means it will be using the /etc/pulse/system.pa config file instead of the usual /etc/pulse/default.pa. We must also make sure the appropriate user/group permissions are set, or PulseAudio will be rejecting the connections.The result will be an interrupt-less music environment, not dependent on the X server. Meaning we can for example log out and log in without the music having to stop for even a second. Switching TTYs (Ctrl+Alt+Fx) will also keep the music playing (not possible by default). All that and PulseAudio will still be able to detect and configure all your devices automatically.
Instructions: Make sure you add your username to the following system groups: pulse, pulse-access and audio.Do that by going to System --> Administration --> Users and Groups.Click the unlock button (the one with a picture of some keys), then click Manage Groups. In the list of groups that pops up, for each of the previously mentioned groups click "Properties" and select all the users that you want to have this functionality.
I seem to be having a problem with my sound. Every time I start my computer, I hear the sound played at the login screen and the sound played when I login. Right then, every time, the sound cracks up and stops before it finishes. Running "ubuntu-bug audio" shows that ALSA works fine but pulseaudio does not. For reference, "pacmd list" says that there are 0 sinks, 0 sources and 0 caches.
Edit: Solved by a really stupid mistake: loose 3.5mm audio cable. Don't do that. your sound and you're on a desktop computer, go, right now, and check to make sure that you haven't made the same mistake as me.
Using the Pulse Audio manager does anyone know if it is possible to specify a particular sink or source to be used by a named program? I am assuming it will not be the same as the default.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm on 9.10 and I use huludesktop often to watch my Hulu queue. Every once in a while (and more so lately) the video freeze and the sound stutters. I then find that pulseaudio is taking 100% of a CPU (I have a quad core AMD 64bit machine). Killing pulseaudio causes huludesktop to continue without sound and a new pulseaudio starts up. I have to kill huludesktop and resume playback and then everything's OK, until it happens again.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed "Theocracy" on my 9.10 Karmic system. The installer asks for a sound device, dev/dsp is the default and I didn't change it. When I now try to start the game, I get the following error:
Unable to open sound device: Device or resource busy
Aborted
Execution of /usr/games/theocracy_base/theocracy.real failed!
What is the sound device when using PulseAudio on Karmic?
I need to upgrade Pulseaudio to a version better than 0.9.14 (i.e. at least 0.9.15) in order to get the Pulseaudio plugin in Blueman to work, but despite following these instructions to add the PPA it will not be upgraded!
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhy do this? Two reasons:
1) Many of us use JACK for low-latency audio work, but it's annoying to have to turn it on or off to have to allow regular Ubuntu applications to work. It's even more annoying that both can't normally work together -- either JACK or PulseAudio must take control of the sound control. This method allow JACK to do, and PulseAudio just routes to JACK.
2) JACK is kinda super awesome. By routing PulseAudio through it, your regular Ubuntu sound application suddenly get super powers. Pretty easy to do! (Well, we count our blessings in Linux...)
1. DYNAMICALLY You need the PulseAudio utilities and JACK sink:
Code:
sudo aptitude install pulseaudio-utils pulseaudio-module-jack And then run this to get PulseAudio connected to JACK: Code:pactl load-module module-jack-sink pactl load-module module-jack-source Now, go to Ubuntu's sound preferences, and you'll see "Jack sink" in the output tab. If you use JACK Control, you can create a script for the above and have it set up in "Execute script after Startup". Then, PulseAudio will automatically load the JACK sink when you start JACK.
2. BY DEFAULT Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa, and add these lines:
Code:load-module module-jack-source load-module module-jack-sink You can test it without rebooting by restarting PulseAudio. In Ubuntu, PulseAudio is started in the user session, not as a system daemon. To restart it:
Code:
pulseaudio --kill
pulseaudio --start
So, the only way to have bass is to use PulseAudio and edit daemon.conf to enable-lfe-remixing? Well, damn, but alright. how do I fine-tune low frequency reproduction (since my satellites can't handle anything below 150Hz)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo there's just one DVD (Narnia) that won't play on my Ubuntu machine using Totem: other DVDs play (I've installed libdvdread4 and libdvdcss2 like a good boy) and non-pulseaudio players like VLC play it properly. If I completely remove and kill pulseaudio, it plays in totem fine. It gets to the language selection screen and I select English, but as soon as any sound is involved it doesn't play. Clicking Go --> DVD menu causes Totem to hang. I don't want to be uninstalling pulseaudio, and VLC player is a bit complex for the mother.
The output of totem:
Code:
marcus@margit-laptop:~$ totem

Note that before the last line, Totem does absolutely nothing. It just sits their. Like it's trying to devour my soul or something.
Just upgraded to Lucid (32bit), pulse generally seems to work ok: I get sound out, I can see various apps connecting via the Sound Preferences dialog (audacious, flash via alsa interface, etc.), and my mic seems to work fine too.
However, when starting skype (v2.1.0.81 which defaults to pulseaudio if it's running), it isn't able to output any sound and I never see a connection appear in Sound Preferences. Don't really want to force it to use Alsa or anything like that; I'd be fine with pulse if it would just work.
I've tried installing the .deb from the skype site as well as the official ubuntu package, with the same result. Any idea why pulse seems to be working, but skype can't seem to use it properly?
Has anyone managed to stream sound from there computer using pulseaudio and rygel ?
I have rygel installed and that works when i run rygel it appears on the ps3.
I also have pulseaudio with dlna enabled and can select it as an output in the sound preferences.
However pulseaudio does not seem to register its stream with rygel, and i am unsure why my only thought is that the versions are wrong as i noticed rygel has recently change its dbus path.
If anyone else wishs to attempt this installing rygel will make the dlna option tickable in pulse audio device chooser applet then you just need to figure out the part i cannot.
I would love to get this working as my ps3 is plugged into an amp it would mean i can send the music i am playing on my laptop to the amp with out plugging the laptop in with a cable.

I'm having trouble getting pulseaudio to start without gdm/X11.
Briefly, I have a Via C7VCM mini itx system running Ubuntu 9.04
32 bit desktop that I want to run as a timed audio recorder for
a public radio station. The machine's limited in memory and
can't handle more recent installations of Ubuntu, 9.04's sufficient
for my needs.
I'm porting some old code that worked
under Red Hat 7.3. I want the ability to run X11, but normally
gdm/X11 will be disabled. The audio commands I need are aumix,
arecord and sox/play.
When I log in under X11, pulseaudio starts up and everything code...
Yesterday I decided to remove pulse (mainly because Skype was unable to work with it) but suddenly the sound icon is gone. After some searching on the net I understood that it was part of pulseaudio, but now I feel a bit lost. Alsa works like a charm instead, but since I also want to use ubuntu to record sound I'm not sure if it will work, and also I have a sound source for my HDMI interface and don't know how switch if I want to.
