Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Get Sound To Work In Mplayer For Myth Tv Box
Aug 7, 2011
Im trying to get sound to work in mplayer for my myth tv box. My hardware setup is a nvidia motherboard with hdmi (not used) and a geforce 210 with hdmi (that is used). The hdmi is connect to an external amplifier that should handle most things. Sound works fine in mythtv - the audio output device used is:
ALSA:hdmi:Card=Nvidia_1,DEV=1
When I try using the command line speaker-test utility it all works:
speaker-test -Dplughw:2,7 -c6
However, aplay and mplayer both dont give any sound - with neither outputting any error messages.
I made a recent update to my Squeeze system and got this weird problem. mplayer, VLC and firefox (.....) all have sound. But when I try to run Amarok I get nothing. I looked into the Multimedia panel on the KDE4 system settings, and its not showing any devices at all. Previously it used to show HDA Intel etc., etc. Now the entries are completely blank. How do I get KDE to recognize my hardware? Shouldnt it pick things up automatically?
I am having trouble getting sound to work through hdmi, I changed the device in the kde settings for multimedia and it now works in Amarok but Mplayer and VLC are refusing.
This is the error i am getting with mplayer:
I have disabled my sound card in the bios to save confusion (on my part) Upgraded my kernel to 2.6.37. My gfx card is a NV gt 430 xt
So I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on an HP Mini 210-1190NR. Everything runs fine except mplayer. I installed mplayer from the repos but when I try to play a video I get no sound. I can't figure out why.
Here's the output:
Code: mplayer star.wars.the.clone.wars.s03e10.720p.hdtv.x264-ctu.mkv MPlayer SVN-r32636-4.4.5 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team 160 audio & 350 video codecs Playing star.wars.the.clone.wars.s03e10.720p.hdtv.x264-ctu.mkv. Cache fill: 3.12% (262144 bytes)
I have an htpc running mythbuntu 10.04 connected to a plasma tv via hdmi. Initially i was able to boot fine and the front end loaded ok but the resolution was off. My display is 1024x768 but my only options in myth was to use 1024x720. I have since enabled the proprietary ATI video driver. Now my desktop dispay perfect on the tv. However, i can no longer start the mythtv front end. I also ran an update that updated over 100 packages.
how I fixed my sound problems, that happened only for "windows media 9" videos, after struggling for days changing the players etc. (using Ubuntu lucid 10.04 up to date)First search for "Ubuntu install w32codecs" (or w64codecs depending on your system bus width) and... install them as root or 'sudo'
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install w32codecs (or w64codecs)
After updating totem to the very latest version (May 12, 3 days ago) the problem happened to be likely from the source: gstreamer. So I tried to install the latest version of gstreamer, and it worked (the default one packaged in Ubuntu is dated 2008...).
I'm setting up a gui-less music server so there's no login, and I've tried using mplayer's lirc interface as well as irexec (sending mplayer slave commands to a fifo). But I can't get mplayer to work unless I start either irexec or mplayer from a logged in session. So my S99test is something like:
If I use the "mplayer" line, I do hear music at startup, but no lirc control. Yet if I log in and kill the mplayer and rerun S99test as root, all works fine.
I use a net install CD to install the Debian 6.0.1(squeeze). After installation of gnome, I use apt install the mplayer. But when I use the mplayer open a avi file, it failed. The mplayer don't crash but give the following instruction:
Mplayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: filter_video - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc version. If you thin it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. [This binary of MPlayer in Debian is currently compiled with '--enable-debug'; the debugging symbols are in the package 'mplayer-dbg'.] I don't know why this happen, because all the package is installed with apt.
I am using a USB headset and a logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 with Ubuntu 10.04
1. When I change the sound to internal sound the webcam works in Skype but I have not sound. 2. When I change the sound to the USB headset (sound output) the webcam does not work in Skype.
When I installed my 64 bit system of Ubuntu 10.04 the sound worked very well and I were very happy. The problem started however when I installed Skype which uses pulseaudio. As soon as I start skype (or any other application that uses pulse, HoN for example) the applications sound output or input does not work at all. If I have pulseaudio started in some way, applications that I suppose do not use it like spotify or flash player stops to produce sounds. And when I type "pulseaudio" in the terminal it gives me this:
I cannot get my sound to work, I've looked around on the threads, but nothing as helped, but that could also be because I'm new at this.. Anyways, the thing I find weird about it is when I started it up, I could hear the startup noise of Ubuntu, but I can't hear anything else.
I cant get any sound to work on my ubuntu desktop. It appears to be using the right driver/modules and does not have any errors. I have tried the following guides with no success:
I've tried just about everything I can to get sound working through Pulseaudio (and disabling) For Mugen on my Acer revo but I can't figure it out. Sounnd works fine for everything other than this game. Running Lucid on this machine and Karmic on my main desktop. Sound works Fine on my Karmic machine. I've tried the windows versions of Mugen and Jmugen but they don't run well or at all.running lsof in a separate terminal with mugen running:
Quote:
jmoney@jmoney-Revo:~/mugen/mugen2$ lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/snd/* COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME pulseaudi 1186 jmoney 37u CHR 116,9 0t0 4535 /dev/snd/controlC0
[code]....
Which I suppose means it's trying to access the card directly with OSS. I get the same output no matter how I configure the sound in Mugen. I tried launching it with padsp ./mugen, still no sound and same output. I installed all alsa/OSS/pulseaudio packages that my Karmic machine has with no difference. Not sure where else I should be looking.
My sound is not working in my new (10.4 version) of Ubuntu installation. I am a first-time Ubuntu user, but I do have Linux experience with Fedora.
I have spent hours trying anything I could find here and everywhere, so I don't even know where to begin to describe any errors and such. I just want sound, particularly mp3 playing ability. I also have a Fedora installation on this machine (different hard drive) and it works fine, so it's not the hardware.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. My sound works fine unless I have headphones plugged in. I've tried 2 sets of headphones, and it doesn't work with either set, so it's not the headphones. The volume is not muted (it's at 100%) for the headphones either in alsamixer. How can I diagnose and fix this?

I've been struggling to get my sound to work properly in my HP dv7 laptop in Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit.
If I follow the instructions here [URL] then I can get my microphone to work.
My speakers worked fine right out of the box, but the headphone jack does not. When I follow the instructions here [URL] and install the alsa backports then my headphone jack works properly, but when I shutdown my computer I get a loud crackling/popping sound. Uninstalling the alsa backports stops the crackling, but then the headphone jack doesn't function.
On kubuntu 9.10 my sound was working fine. less than a week ago i upgraded to kubuntu 10.04.After the upgrade the sound did not work at all. i made sure that my volume was turned up and that my volume was not on mute. so far i have gotten no sound on 10.04
I'm having problem to get my sound work on my HTPC based on Asus AT5IONT-I Deluxe motherboard. I can get analogue sound out but not the digital sound on HDMI nor optical. I have tried a couple of things I've found on swedish forums, but nothing have worked so I'm ready to start over again from the beginning. I'm a real beginner when it comes to Ubuntu so step by step instructions is preferred. code...
I have these Creative Inspire M4500 4.1 surround sound speakers.I got them to work succesfully on my older computer by installing the ALSAmixer. and then unmuting the channels. However on my new computer even after installing ALSAmixer, i cannot seem to be able to get playback from my rear two speakers. I tried the community ubuntu documentation and ALSA's own guide(which seemed too complicated for me.)
I used to be able to use Skype without a problem. I must have played with something as it now doesn't allow me to both use a microphone and external speakers at the same time.I go into sound setting and I am able to test the microphone (works) but then the speakers don't show, if I reverse the tests then the opposite happens.
I have a Dac Magic usb sound card based on C-Media 108'. I'm running a headless server and I want to configure MPD, but I can't get the sound to work. The card is known to work on linux and I have no problems with it on windwows (it's not defective )
