Ubuntu Multimedia :: X-Fi Titanium Microphone Feedback (echo)?

Oct 12, 2010

I'm running Maverick right now, but the problem also occurs with Lucid. My sound card is a creative X-Fi Titanium (emu20k2). Audio playback is fine, surround is fine, etc. Audio capture is "fine" too - the problem is that the microphone picks up everything that the headset is outputting. This is very strange since the headset is a noice-cancelling headset and in order for that to happen on other platforms (windows) I essentially have to turn the volume up to astronomical levels. As always, this doesn't happen on windows.

Needless to say this poses somewhat of a problem with VoIP applications since folks I'm interacting with constantly hear themselves echoed back by me. The only solution is to tune down the microphone volume but that adds another problem: people can no longer hear me clearly.

So my question is: is there a way to enable echo reduction for Pulse Audio so that the mic doesn't constantly capture what's coming from the outputs? And yes - when I look at the "input" tab in the sound preferences application I can see the marker move if I speak - same with pavucontrol

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Get Echo Sound From Microphone To Speakers?

Nov 26, 2010

How can I echo the sound from the microphone to the speakers?

I.e., anything that is picked up by the microphone is played on the speakers immediately, without recording anything. Preferably with the ability to increase the volume.

General :: Audio - Fix A Feedback Loop On My Microphone In System?

Feb 25, 2011

First off, this isn't the usual "physical" feedback of a speaker being too close to the mic. This mic is part of a headset so there's no way for the output and input to overlap and cause feedback. This mic has worked perfectly for me in the past, but I recently re-installed my OS and it hasn't worked since.

It seems as if my audio out is getting redirected to microphone in. If I open up and sound recording program while I have some audio being output, the output will get echoed back in through the microphone channel, although any actual microphone input is never picked up. I can blow or scream into the mic and there's no indication at all that Linux is picking it up.

I'm running ArchLinux with ALSA. I've gone into alsa mixer and played with just about every channel in every way I can think of, and none of the options seem to fix the problem.

How should I fix this? I use my mic pretty much constantly when I'm on the computer, being without it sucks.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: X-Fi Titanium Does Not Show SPDIF

May 2, 2010

Using latest Ubuntu 10.04, the Creative Sound Blater X-Fi Titanium does not show (sound preferences) SPDIF (Digital).

Only Analog options are present.

While
Code:
alsamixer
shows S/PDIF with max volume... (IN and OUT)

Is there any alsa-base "options" to configure to see SPDIF in Sound-preferences?

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Creative X-Fi Titanium Work With 11.4?

Jun 26, 2011

There is a basic driver for it. I was wondering if anyone got it to work. Or is there another card that has been used successfully, especially with recording from a microphone. I am getting poor input from the mic source. Levels are low and broken up. Extensive research has pointed to ALSA/PulseAudio not being able to fine tune all sound cards. I am using the onboard currently, an ALC262.

In the meantime I was tempted to set the priorities higher for sound in general, in other words tweak ALSA and PA. Reason being is that many across a few distros have problems when resources are squeezed, like the times when proc load is at or near 100%, for example. I do not know how to tweak sound. Does anyone know?
I still want to try the Titanium since it could be utilized in 7 (ouch) as a luxury for recording "what you hear", and for superior sound reproduction as well.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: FlexiJack On X-Fi Titanium - No Line In Combined Into One Jack

Jul 7, 2010

SB X-Fi Titanium has a FlexiJack: Mic/Line in combined into one jack. The windows driver sets the mode. Linux driver has no such feature and it always works as a mic input. So you cannot use it for "Line in". Just because of this I am going to have a new sound card.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Jack Control - Feedback Crescendos Then Cuts Out

Jun 12, 2010

So I've used Jack Control for sometime now to control my recording suite that I use (Ardour, Rakarak, and Hydrogen Drum Machine) recently however, when I start the Jack control, as soon as I connect input to output in the connections window, it's like it has internal feedback. The feedback crescendos, then cuts out. after that (let's say I have my Fender plugged into the sound card) if I strike a string there it comes out muddy distorted with an awful echo (some what like what echo would sound like on blown speakers). I have checked all the settings, everything is as it was before when it worked fine... dunno... is Lucid possessed?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Audacity Pre-echo Removal?

May 15, 2011

I was using a line device to record compact cassettes to digital (Linear PCM) then I transferred these files to the computer.Due to cassette print-through, there is audible, albeit weak, pre-echo. This is not caused by the recorder since I can hear them playing the cassettes on a deck.So. Does Audacity have a pre-echo removal function, or can a similar result be obtained by applying different effects? Or any 3rd-party plug-ins?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Turn Off Microphone?

Apr 21, 2010

I've got 9.10 installed on a dual boot T-43 Thinkpad.The Thinkpad has a built-in microphone which is driving me crazy. I have a pair of outboard Sony speakers sitting on my desk & the sound of the fan and every keystroke is picked up by the mic and amplified back at me through the speakers. If I turn the volume on the speakers up more than about half way the mic picks up the feedback I get a high pitched squeal through the speakers.I've gone into "Sound Preferences" and muted "Input Volume," but it has no effect - the mic is still picking up and amplifying every keystroke & giving me feedback.How can I turn off the damn mic? (by the way, I do not have this problem if I boot into XP)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Get Microphone To Work On 10.04

May 3, 2010

I can't seem to get my microphone to work on Ubuntu 10.04. I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE PCI sound card. [URL]... Sound card is recognized by System/Preferences/Sound/Hardware as CA0106 Sound Blaster 1 Output / 1 Input Analog Stereo Duplex And sound output works 100% perfectly. I Google'd for hours and did not see anything to fix my microphone. My computer has front headphone and microphone ports and the front headphone port works fine but microphone does not. Also I tried plugging microphone into all the ports on the back into sound card but none worked. Also, I ran alsamixer from terminal and maxed out all volume settings. I wish to get the microphone working so I can play Counter Strike Source with Wine. I am willing to buy another sound card if someone can point out a replacement.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Use Microphone In Lucid

Dec 3, 2010

At some point i probably messed up my sound configuration, and now i cant record anymore.

What works : * I have pulseaudio, i can play sound from several apps simultaneously, eg : mpd + vlc + firefox + skype

Remarks :

* pulse-audio is as system-wide installed.
* I have installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.32-26-generic
* I have 1 internal sound card (on the main board) + 1 ATI graphic card with HDMI output (and thus a sound chip)
* I have 2 output-plugs (1 normal + 1 headphone)
* I have 3 inputs (2 microphones + 1 line in)
* In the past, i installed a PCI sound card, for testing. It may remains old configuration files related to it.

THE PROBLEMS :

* I can not record. In the Pulse-applet / Volume control, in the tab "recording", in the tab "input device" (i translate from french), i can choose between mic1, mic2 and line in, but none of them has any effect on the volume meter.

* In the the tab "configuration", there is no sound card listed, just the message "no car available for configuration" ... that might show that smthg is wrong ! Notice that in the past (but still under lucid), it used to work. There was here all the cards (internal + HDMI video card) listed.

Output of alsa-info.sh :

Code:
upload=true&script=true&cardinfo=

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 10.04 - Cannot Get Microphone Working

Dec 4, 2010

I can't seem to get my microphone working. All the levels are maxed, nothing is muted. I've checked pavucontrol, alsamixer, and sytem-preferences-sound, but according to all that, there is nothing muted, and all the levels are maxed. I'm running ubuntu 10.04. My mic works fine in Windows vista, but not in Ubuntu. I am thinking I may need to update my drivers or something. Also I've gone over the forums but haven't found a solution that works, many of them involve changing the levels in system-preferences-sound, but again, that doesn't work. I've posted the results of aplay -l [URL].

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Get Microphone To Work?

The box has a front mic jack and I can't get that to work.In the "Sound Preferences", it shows two possible hardware sources: "Internal Audio" and "SB X-fi".In "Input" I have multiple choices for "Connector" when "Internal Audio analog stereo is selected" ("Microphone 1/Line-In" etc) and for "SB X-Fi Analog Mono" there are none.I have tried every combination in there, plus every combination I can think of in "alsamixer" and the microphone still does not work (I know the microphone itself is OK).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: USB Microphone Not Detected

Jun 19, 2011

I'm using Kubuntu 10.04. I've got a Samson Q1U usb microphone I want to use in Audacity for recording.

Unfortunatly, the microphone isn't registering on my computer.

I can use a usb mouse on the usb port, so I think the port works and the microphone worked on my friends PC, so the mic is fine.

When I plug it in the light on the microphone goes on for about 10 seconds then goes off.

Here's some output:

And the following, showing my ports:

The microphone is not showing up on either...

I was using the microphone fine a couple years ago with audacity, I think I was on Hardy Heron at the time (not that the upgrade to lucid was necessarily was what did it...) I haven't changed any hardware since then besides adding a little additional ram.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Microphone Works But Does Not Record?

Jan 31, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on an Asus F3JC laptop with an integrated webcam and microphone. The webcam is a

Code:
user@ubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e1:0501 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd DC-1125 WebCam

and it works. If i tap on the microphone or if I blow on it, I hear noises but after I record something with gnome-sound-recorder I don't hear any sound! The same with Skype, for example.

On Xp (other hd partition) it works.

The audio device on the laptop is a

Code:
user@ubuntu:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC660 Analog [ALC660 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1

[Code]....

If I open the "sound preferences tool" the device for sound input is "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" and even if I tune the volume of the microphone I don't see any movement in the input level bar. I've also checked alsamixer and the digital volum in the capture interface is set at the maximum.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Get Microphone Working In Flash

Feb 15, 2010

I've been trying to get my webcam microphone working in flash on Kubuntu 9.10.I have a Logitek Pro 9000, and video and audio work in other applications (skype), but video is all that works in flash (I have flash 10 installed). In the flash settings, it lists the only microphone option as "Linux Microphone", which does nothing. This seems to be a common problem, with a few solutions offered.

One I've tried, which seems fairly straightforward for gnome users, is here. However, whenever I run pavucontrol, I get an error reading "Connection failed: Connection refused".Does anyone know how to either get pulseaudio open, or how to get the microphone working in flash without it?
