i have an Asus P5Q with ALC1200 integrated sound card. I've upgraded today my system from Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 to Ubuntu Lucid 10.04. In Hardy all was working ok, but in Lucid i have no sound, SPDIF (IEC95 seem not working.
I'm trying to get my Audigy 2 Value to output digital but when I try to use the iec958 interface it outputs to the front speakers analog outputs, ie not the digital io socket.
I can get 5.1 surround by using the plug:surround51 device.
Have gone though other guides trying to fix the problem but no luck. how to get the digital stuff working. I have included some outputs.
I've recently noticed that my IEC958 digital audio output has stopped working. The short version of why I didn't notice this immediately is that I have two simultaneous audio outputs from my system to my speakers and I hadn't realized the IEC958 output wasn't in use.After messing around with a few settings to no avail, I remembered that I'd recently run update manager (this had to be within the last two weeks) and thought this might be the cause.I have just booted to a 10.10 install disc and verified the IEC958 output works fine there.
Unfortunately I'm not sure which of the recent updates could have caused this problem. Before I submit a bug report on launchpad I was hoping anyone here might have a suggestion as to where to look to figure this out.I'd recently seen this thread and this thread which lead me to believe it may have been a recent kernel update.What's my best course of action to determine the problematic update?[edit]In case anyone needs the info, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit on a system with an Intel DH57JG motherboard. Using the HDMI output to a TV, with a separate optical audio cable to my speakers.Also, I've attempted using all of the available digital audio output options in the sound preferences panel and I've also installed gnome-alsamixer and tried enabling/disabling every digital output listed there as well. None of these got the optical output working again.
Alsamixer shows no capture controls for the device and I get no sound through the browser. I have set the device as default. However, I get sound fine when testing in KDE's System Settings (Phonon). Sound works just fine through Amarok and Dragon Player.
How do I get Firefox to play sound through this device?
Just beating my head against a wall lately trying to enable 5.1 surround through the digital out (spdif) of my Audigy SE card. It outputs fine to stereo right now, but watching a DVD with 5.1 selected in any media player (VLC, Totem, Mplayer etc.) still yields stereo output.
I want to hide the controls of Movie player (totem). I can hide it by going to view->show controls. but when I reopen Totem, it shows the controls again. it seems Movie player does not save the settings correctly.
I find that when I use Amarok my Unity side bar gets jammed in position, and won't hide away. This is really irritating as the play button is under the bar so I can't click it! The side bar is stuck in position whether Amarok is maximised, in a window or minimised, or even if I close Amarok and just leave it playing (Amarok isn't even listed on the Unity bar in this case). The only way to make the side bar vanish is to completely quit Amarok. Is there anything I can do to force the bar to hide?
SMplayer plays every .mkv i have but i cant seem to hide the top gui bar when it goes full screen. smplayer seem to be the only player that i know plays any .mkv. while others i get a 264h errors and vlc can play most .mkv files but not all the ones i have.(tried Banshee,wine, totem) So i'm just looking for a quick fix Are there any other players that can play .mkv files (fullscreen with no annoying bars)or how do i hide the tool bar in smplayer when it goes fullscreen? (because i can't seem to find a hide option for the gui)
I don't really want to fix the 264h.errors it just.. bleh i've been surfing the web for a few hours trying to find a fix and it's been very time consuming.
The sound stopped working on my Macbook Pro 1,1. It was working fine before, and I can't think of any changes I made that would make it stop working. I know it's not a hardware problem because the Apple sound plays when I turn on the computer. Everything is unmuted in ALSA Mixer. None of the hardware options in Sound Preferences produce sound. Plugging in headphones or speakers does not solve the problem. I'm using 10.10.One curiosity: Whenever I do something that would normally cause sound to play, the optical audio red light in the headphone jack turns on, but no sound plays.
I just moved my bottom panel to the right side of the screen and set it to auto-hide., The panel hid it'self but will not un-hide when I move the mouse to the edge of the screen... I tried to re-boot, but the panel is still "stuck"Is there an easy way to fix this? Or will I have to manualy delete the panel and make a new one
I understand this kind of defeats the purpose of the NBR setup, but i have 4 workspaces and I want to have 3 different apps open in 3 of them, and the NBR startup in workspace 1.
so is there a way to disable this interface in specific workstations or no?
I got a problem with the bar on my desktop. I have WOW installed on my Vista drive, so I just copied the files into my Ubuntu drive. They startup fine, but the bar ( upper bar ) woun't hide when it starts. In windows you don't see the bar when you play a game. This is very annoying. I am, a complete noob in Ubuntu. Is there a simple soulution to this?
In Ubuntu 11.04, how do I hide the left bar and top bar? I have a full screen opengl application that starts after the OS loads to the desktop.Unfortunately,the application bars are drawn on top of it.If they cannot be hidden on bootup, then just disabling them entirely would be acceptable.
I've been facing this problem of locking up files, I've three users in my system, I can't lock a folder but just can hide it by appending . in front of file. Is there any tool/software in linux to lock a file, so other users cannot even open/see. I tried with chmod options but didn't work?
I am using a Toshiba Satellite L355-s7915 notebook with a 17" screen. The maximum screen resolution is 1440x900, and I have to run at that resolution because lower settings just occupy less monitor space. What is means is that the image shown is still the same size, but in a smaller area. Of course print is not too big as a result. FireFox at least gives me a zoom-in and zoom-out capability when using Ctrl and either the + or - key, so that helps. But the mouse is rather small, maybe a 1/16" width. And sometimes it is hard to locate on the screen. Since the mouse pointer and the cursor positions can be in separate areas, seeing one does not help with finding the other.
Anyway, I have found that a search for a hard-to-see mouse can take a lot of mouse jiggling about, and it helps to have some place on the screen that behaves differently if the mouse passes over it. That pop up task bar that VirtualBox adds when the client is in full screen mode works pretty good for this, but if you don't know where the mouse is, then trying to move it over the pop up task bar locaton is a guessing game. I found a better way, and thought I might pass this along. You don't know where the mouse position is? Press the right mouse button. A choice of things to do pops up, and where it is, so is the mouse. In fact the mouse is in there to make a choice, and is easy to see now. Now you just take the mouse where you want to go, and you have survived another crisis.
I use a Mac at work. Attached to it is an external hard drive (personal) that I would like to either encrypt or either make invisible tave ubuntu on my personal laptop.Could I make it ext4 and unviewable by Mac or PC or something along those lines so that nobody just goes through my (personal) stuff by just logging in and going on the desktop? I'm looking for something that will still allow me to access them fairly easily such as file permissions or something. I don't wanna put it into a zip file or a password protected rar file. I know nothing is 100% but I at least want a layer of security.
Is there a hide file list in ubuntu where I can add files that start with ~$ and it work exactly like adding a dot in front of said files?(My objective is to hide files that are automatically generated by solidworks and clutter the server...)
now I`m using Docky for my ubuntu 10.10 and I`m wondering if i can tweaks a little bit for the bottom bar 2 auto dissapear...and appear again when I hover a mouse over it...
I've just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and have come across a strange bug, where after using Ubuntu for a while, the launcher suddenly appears and will not hide. This occurs when my mouse is no where near the launcher. I have a duel screen display.
This is very annoying as the launcher appears above the windows I am working on as shown in the screenshot: bug.jpg
I have tried changing the launcher hide options in ccsm but it doesn't seem to make any difference. At the moment it is set to autohide.
