Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unable To DISABLE Sound Click On Applications
Jul 23, 2010
this morning after a reboot I made a discover. Clicking on tabs, launching applications, and so on, make annoying and stupid sounds from my speakers. CLICK, BOP, BLAP! Who decided to turn these things on? I'm listening MUSIC, I don't wanna those stupid sounds bother me! Anyway, I was suddendly on System -> Preferences -> Sound and I choosed Sound Theme: NO SOUND. But those annoying sounds are already there. And there's no way to disable them! Is this a BUG or what? Is there something to do?
I also discovered another thing: clicking on items that are at RIGHT of my screen, the sound come from RIGHT. Clicking on center, they come from center. Right, right. So I realize that sounds are stereophonic. And really I can't understand why a software developer choosed to waste his time coding a piece of code to do this, instead of solving the hundred millions of bugs we're affected from YEARS.

I am having a problem when using Flash. Whenever I am listening to a Flash application (..... primarily), I am unable to hear sound from any other applications (Rhythmbox, movie player, etc).
The converse is also true, if I am using Rhythmbox, and then start ....., the video plays...but with no sound. I have to manually kill the app and web browser (tried multiple...Firefox, Chrome, Swiftfox) to get sounds working correctly. I am my wits end with this problem, and have just putting up with it for several months now.

I recently updated my computer Using 9.10 and I updated on the 14th. Before the update my sound was working great. No problems, but afterwards my sound is completely gone and under hardware when I click the sound option on the speaker icon I get nothing listed under hardware.
I am using the HP DV2810 US notebook PC. With this being listed as the audio device.
I will also list the updates from my synaptic history. I'm having to use Win7 . And i only wanted that for the few games that one run well in wine.
Upgraded the following packages:
Installed the following packages:

In the sound preferences if i set the sound to ALSA sound skips like a scratched CD when i move, maximize, open, close window. If i set the sound to PulseAudio sound skips on everything (vlc ,banshee)except Totem.
On both of these options Banshee is rendered totally unusable. If i set the sound to ESD, than VLC and Banshee work fine though VLC still skips a little bit though less than before. Totem however will no longer be able to play most of the files it could before without extreme unbarable static. Though some files it will still play fine.
HOWEVER with all three of these there is no skipping whatsoever when i play sound on ..... videos in the browser whereas if i play the same video in .flv on a media player the same problems persist.. so the browsers seem unaffected
OSS is by far the best in terms of skipping, none whatsoever. However OSS has a constant steady crackle behind anything that is playing. The crackle is low but still irritating and the crackling makes my ears ring after but i can still listen to music and just try my best to ignore it much like listening to a radio station that barely comes in. So how do i either to stop the static behind OSS... or stop the skipping with ALSA and Pulse, or stop the crackling in ESD or OSS??

Its unbelivable how crappy Sound in Ubuntu is - i am suffering from this since karmic. Whenever a second appication like Firefox plys a tune my sound in Amarok dies. Even windows 3.1 was able to do this kind of Multitasking and afaik this also was possible WITHOUT this Pulseaudio desaster.
This is my config
aplay -l

card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]

This sound desaster makes me really think of buying a windows 7 license.

A friend of mine is having a problem where one application will cut off another application when playing sounds.
For example, if he has amarok playing music and pidgin beeps on a new message, amarok stops.
If he has vlc playing music, and then has amarok play something simultaneously, vlc stops.
The only related bug I've been able to find is [URL]
But I cannot even confirm that this is a pulseaudio problem. He's using an updated 10.04 installation

I installed OSSv4 replacing the default ALSA and everything worked just fine with some workarounds... until I upgraded to Lucid Lynx.
Now apps like Totem and Rhythmbox which use the gstreamer framework have no sound. Does anybody know why?
Everything else works, like gnome-sound-recorder, even flash.

I have two sound cards active on this machine and they both work fine. However I would like to blacklist one card from being used for audio capture in KDE, because I am already using it outside of KDE for timed recording. The problem is that when I start amarok while timed recording is going on, it attempts to probe the card and this causes the recording to abort.
In Configure desktop > Multimedia, I can see the two cards. I can alter the priority but the Remove button is greyed out. So I can't remove a card from phonon.
Searching around for where phonon stores its configuration led me to ~/.config/kde.org/libphonon.conf. This certainly looks like the info I was trying to edit, but it's encoded in some way code...

With OpenSuSE 11.2, I would have a guest account running skype, and a media account running mythtv (both users logged in at the same time using switch user). I had skype on auto answer incoming calls, and I remember watching a movie when I suddenly heard my Dad's voice appear calling my name. That was cool!
Now that I'm using OpenSuSE 11.3 (both were using KDE), skype only plays audio when that user's session is active. Switching to the media account will prevent skype from starting to play any sound. Switch back, sound is normal. If I remember correctly, now the skype audio cuts out as soon as I switch user.
I also have a tv capture card which only STARTS to captures analog audio when the media session is active, mythtv being run by the user media. Once the show is started to record with sound, we can switch users and the show continue to record with sound.
The only thing that should be configured differently from the default install is that I compiled mythtv (it wasn't available as an rpm when I upgraded to 11.3, and haven't bothered to check since).

In my top right corner I got all my Ubuntu appindicators that come with Ubuntu 11.04. I also have Dropbox, caffeine and screenlets. Problem is that I cant click on dropbox, caffeine, battery indicator, wlan or sound indicator until I first click on messages menu and slide over to appindicator that I need. When screenlets appindicator is not present there is no problem. Its the same when I had Jupiter installed.

I have tried to use the extensions toggle-touchpad and touchpad-indicator that claim to be able to do this, but neither will load properly. They show up with a little exclamation-point-triangle in the "Tweaks" panel saying "Error loading extension". How to get Jessie gnome system succeeded in getting their touchpad disabled via a simpe toggle mechanism?

I always accidentally release right mouse button in any right click menu, so it automatically selects one of highlighted item in this menu. It's mostly the first item, so as example, if I am watching ..... video, and I right click somewhere in the page background, then release the mouse, it makes my browser go BACK one page, because BACK is first item in right click menu in chrome...
Also I would like it to make it unable to right click in right click menu to press items in the menu... In other words, right click in right click menu has the same behavior like left click, but I want to disable it. I want it just like in MS windows, where when you click with right click in right click menu it does nothing. I have so many accidents with this right click menu.

I don't know what I did but I lost all audio. I'm running F15 with gnome 3. By opening system settings and then sound I don't find anything muted. Under hardware I have 3 devices, the first is RS880 Audio Device (Radeon HD 4200) this one has no sound at all when I click test speakers. Then I have quickcam comm STX and then I have Internal Audio which works by clicking on test speakers.. I have no clue of where to start to fix this but reinstall everything again.

I have been searching for a way to disable middle click in Ubuntu, but all the websites I came across say to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. but when I open that file in Gedit there is no input device section as described in post #3 @ [URL] all I have in xorg.conf is
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
[Code]....
I hate the middle click paste feature as I'm always accidentally pasting text in documents.

I'm on a new netbook using Ubuntu 9.10 and I cannot figure out how to disable tap-to-click on my touchpad. I figured it would be simple enough to use SHMConfig, however; every post I've seen says they have something similar to this in xorg.conf
Code: Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection Instead, I have this ...
Code: Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
End Section
I have tried simply changing the driver entry to "synaptics," however when I run SHMconfig it says the driver hasn't been loaded.

I like how easy one-click makes installing applications and all, but I wonder if there is a way to look "behind the curtain" and know what it is doing before clicking it. I'm just thinking of if I use the one-click in the software section (is that part of OBS?),
what all is going to happen, or can I just grab the latest .rpm and when it goes to get installed it determines and downloads dependencies automatically? I guess I want to make sure that these aren't adding 101 repositories that have to be refreshed for updates and clutter things up!

Ive recently switched to Ubuntu from Windows XP and me and a friend had finally got things going for me, with everything running pretty darn well. A couple days ago we decided to install VirtualBox with Windows 7 and for a day everything worked well enough but yesterday I discovered that I had no sound whatsoever on Ubuntu but oddly Win 7 on VB had audio running without any discrepancies.

When ever I install windows I have to manually install this [URL]Well. I downloaded wine and tried it and it said Unknown error. So, how would I go about getting my sound driver then? I really need sound I do not have anything under Hardware, Output or Input in the Sound preferences. I've already tried OSS, I think I installed ALSA but I do not know how to work it. I've downloaded a tar.bz2 pack for alsa, where is a deb. I hate configuring stuff, I want something I can click and install.

Prior to the release of the update 11.04 I had sound working perfectly. When the update came out, I lost all sound. I have run through all the forums and threads and websites I can find trying to find a fix, no luck. I have no start up sound, no sound from any program. I installed PulseAudio and it shows that there should be sound, but neither speakers nor headphones have sound coming from them.

I am using mpd and ncmpcpp as a music player. Until today it worked perfectly fine but now when I play a song it begins playing but with no sound (yet sound works in every other program). I am using a creative x-fi xtreme gamer sound card.
Here are my configs:
~/.mpdconf:

I get no sound. Not even the little signature tune you're suppose to get when you start up ubuntu. When I go
Code:
aplay -l
I get:

Then I tried the alsamixer just too make sure that the speakers was not muted.
Code:
alsamixer
The last thing I tried was adding my user name to the /etc/group. Before it was
Code:
audio:x:29:pulse
but now it says
Code:
audio:x:29:myusername
is where some bullet proof way to test the sound card? Now I'm running some random mp3 which might have some fault in itself. what must I do to get the sound to work?
