Ubuntu Multimedia :: Make Pulseaudio STOP Copying Mic Input To Main Output?

Nov 26, 2010

I have a headset microphone plugged into the built-in audio input. The output is plugged into an amplifier > speakers.

Pulseaudio is "helpfully" routing the microphone input signal to the speaker output. I do not want this. I go to pavucontrol and disable the "monitor of the internal audio analog stereo" -- and what I say into the microphone is still coming out of the speakers.

Google gives a lot of information about how to live-stream mic input over the Internet. And, I found this here (that's for karmic, I'm running lucid):

[URL]

... but that's about how to ENABLE loopback. It says loopback should not be enabled by default, but I very clearly hear that something is doing the same thing as loopback.

(Of course, I need to hear sound from applications that are playing, and when I'm dictating text into NaturallySpeaking running under virtual box, I need sound input to go there -- so turning the mic all the way down to zero is not the solution.)

I'm fairly sure I remember hearing this behavior ever since installing Ubuntu, and I didn't do anything to turn it on. I can't imagine most users would prefer this behavior -- if it's the default behavior, why? It makes absolutely no sense to me. (Sorry. It's one of those piddly little configuration things that costs a couple of hours of web searching time, and after a while I just have to give up, but not before becoming much more frustrated than I should have to.)

So, to be clear, here's what I want:

- Applications playing audio should send sound to the main output.

- Applications receiving audio input should hear the microphone.

- Microphone sound should not EVER go to the main output unless I have explicitly launched an application making the connection. (The signal goes input -> output even when NO application is open - hence my consternation.)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Skype - Pulseaudio - Sound Output Or Input Does Not Work At All Doesn't Work

Sep 11, 2010

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:

Ubuntu Installation :: Copying Data Setup Tells About An Input/Output Error?

Dec 20, 2010

I want to install Xubuntu 10.10 x64, but it does not work. While copying data the setup tells me about an Input/Output error, but i don't think there are hardware errors.

The environment:

AMD Phenom II 1055t 6x2,8 Ghz
2x 2gb ram
Hitachi 1TB hard drive
Two partitions: 1st for Windows 7 Ultimate (NTFS), 2nd for my Data (NTFS)

So I decreased the size of the data partition and created two new partitions beside the Win7 partition and the data partition. The first is ext4-journal (20gb) the second is Swap (4gb). I've done that all by the Xubuntu setup.

I've downloaded the image from the german mirror (TU Chemniz) and checked the integrety via SHA1. Checksum was correct. I also checked the data after burning.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: PulseAudio - Cannot Set Main System Volume

Nov 27, 2010

I've got rhythmbox playing and to minimize the effect of the mic input being routed to the computer's main output, I wanted to set the main system volume to be fairly low and turn up the level in rhythmbox. Pulseaudio won't let me do that. If I change the computer's main volume, it changes rhythm box's volume, and vice versa. I don't think I saw that behavior before, no idea what changed.

Am I completely misunderstanding something? I thought the point of an audio server is so that the client applications could produce the signals in their own way and send them through the server. Why do they have to interfere with each other's settings? Is there some preference to make it stop doing that? I looked in pavucontrol, device chooser and manager, don't see anything.

Fedora :: Input/output Error When Copying Files To Fedora Live CD?

Dec 21, 2010

I booted my Fedora 13 live CD on my Dell server, and configured networking and SSHd. On my desktop I logged into the live cd and started copying over a big file (1.5 GB) (i.e. copying from the desktop computer to the server). After copying about half the fil, the download fails with an error message about the filesystem being read-only.I've seen this exact same behavior on both i386 and x86_64 of the same live CD, but don't know why it's happening. I've also had the same issue when copying small files. In /var/log/messages these messages are repeated many times:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: PulseAudio Lag With Simultaneous Output

Jul 1, 2011

I've got two soundcards in my new machine - Realtek ALC8892 onboard, with headphones plugged in, and an M-Audio Audiophile 192 with speakers. There's also HDMI sound out on the graphics card, but I don't use that.

Audio with PulseAudio's output through the sound card is fine. Audio with PulseAudio's output through the onboard sound is fine. If I set the output to Simultaneous Output, however, I get significant lag. Almost half a second. It's quite distracting.

Is this just a problem with PulseAudio's simultaneous output implementation, or is there a fix that I've overlooked? Running 64-bit Natty, btw.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Pulseaudio Disabling Simultaneous Output?

Mar 16, 2010

sat in an internet cafe with my music on loud using my headphones when my cell phone vibrated and upon taking off my headphones I noticed that pulseaudio was channeling all my music not only to my headphones but also to my regular monitor out!

So I was actually listening to music using my headphones when in fact the sound was LOUD on my laptop speakers...

Is there a way to configure the thing to not do that? I want the sound to be muted as soon as I plug in my headphones.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: PulseAudio - Mute Mic Output Through Speakers

Nov 9, 2010

I don't want to monitor my inputs. In other words: My microphone input plays through my speakers, adding a lot of undesirable noise from the mic. I can mute the mic inputs in alsamixer and/or in the Pulse volume control. This works to get the mic out of the speakers--but it also mutes my mic entirely, so I cannot record audio or use Google Talk. I want the microphone muted in my output, but available to my apps.

(I try to get on the Pulse bandwagon but it is so hard--I thought this was exactly what it was supposed to do, give easy mixing control over inputs and outputs. But I have to search for "fixes" with every single Ubuntu release for two years now, ever since it was first included. Ok, venting over, time to get it working!)

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Redirecting Pulseaudio Output Without Padevchooser

Jul 30, 2011

Today I tried to use padevchooser on Natty to send my laptop audio to my home media machine (which has the good speakers) using the "default server" option. Turns out padevchooser doesn't work on Unity and the threads I have seen say it is deprecated for other gui tools,

So what is the easy gui way to switch from my local pulse server to another one on my LAN, without using padevchooser, or switching off Unity? Or is this a regression?

Debian Multimedia :: Alsa, Pulseaudio, ION2 & HDMI Sound Output?

Apr 29, 2011

I have recently acquired a Lenovo Q150 machine and attempting to use it as a HTPC. I've been reading that with this platform a newer kernel is required to make wireless, sound and a few other tweaks work correctly--so I bumped up to testing repositories to upgrade to the 2.6.38 kernel.[URL]...

The audio on this device has been more than a pain. I'm currently using XBMC to play media on this device and after setting the outputs to custom: plughw:1,9 sound is played correctly. I found this out by using alsamixer, selecting the sound card with the F6 key (Nvidia 1) unmutting all outputs, quiting, and running speaker-test -D plughw:1,X where X is the sub-device from the output of aplay -l until sound could be heard from the receiver.

Now my problem is that applications like mplayer, and iceweasel won't output any sound. I'd prefer not to use the optical out on the device and would like to send sound over HDMI. Has anyone had any luck getting it to work as it should?

I've also installed pulseaudio, not too sure if this is really needed. I've also used module assistant before upgrading to compile alsa from source, it worked but i just decided to upgrade the kernel instead of dealing with m-a every time an update comes through. Linux floppy 2.6.38-2-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 7 04:28:07 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Input - Output Error With Growisofs

Mar 10, 2010

I use the growisofs command from the terminal to do most of my burning. Mostly because i burn almost the exact same type of file every time so its pretty easy to set up. I've done this dozens of times and never once had a problem before. I loved it because it was so much simpler than doing this in windows where i would need to install a few extra programs and codecs. That was up until today where it started failing every single time i tried to burn something.

For some reason every time i try to burn a disc it gives me this error message:

Code:

I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening. Every thread i found that discussed this problem was mostly focused on k3b or brasero and never really answered the question. As far as i know nothing has been updated since the last time i burned a disc a few days ago. Everything is exactly the same as it was when it worked. The only thing i could think of that might have caused this sudden failure is that i flashed the firmware of another cd drive using the same sata port that this drive is currently plugged into, but that was in windows so i dont see how it could have affected this drive.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Output Redirects To Input

Jun 9, 2011

For some reason my soundcard is recording every playback sound. This become apparent when I was trying to make a Skype call and the other people couldn't hear me. I checked my sound preferences and noted that the input was recording what they say (they could hear an echo). Also if I played back anything it would redirect to them. This has never happened to me and I've made a lot of calls in the past.

I tested with Audacity and it records fine, but when I play back the recording, it redirects to the input channel so it's not a problem with Skype. (my soundcard is a VIA VT1708B 8-Ch). Somewhere I read that the output of aplay -l is useful.

Here it is:

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Input But No Output On Firewire Device?

I'm using FFADO on JACK in order to use my firewire device (M-Audio Profire 610) and I seem to have the opposite issue as others who have similar problems. Everything starts up fine, and I can record audio into Ardour using my inputs, but I can't get any output from any of my 8 line outs.

I've checked the connections using QjackCtl, and I tried to route audio from another program (Audacious) but I can't seem to pull audio out of the device (or the computer won't send my device audio?).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound - Input Or Output - But Not Both - Though It Used To Work?

I used to be able to use Skype without a problem.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Output One Playback Stream To Multiple Devices Simultaneously With The Current PulseAudio / Phonon Setup?

Jun 9, 2011

Is it possible to output one playback stream to multiple devices simultaneously with the current PulseAudio / Phonon setup? The PulseAudio mixer only has radio buttons to choose one device per playback stream. I believe the hardware is capable of this, since I remember doing that before we had PulseAudio. How can I duplicate an audio stream?

Here's one application scenario: I am travelling with my family, all crammed in small hotel room. My wife and me want to watch a movie on my laptop without waking up our kids. I just happen to have one analogue headphone available and one wireless USB headset with me. (Of course, the low tech solution is to bring an 3,5mm Y-cable to attach two analogue headsets, but I would really love to use the USB headset together with the analogue one.)

Another similar thing that bugs me is that my laptop's built-in speakers now always seem dead when an analogue headphone is plugged in. This is mostly what one wants, and before PulseAudio, one had to manually switch them off which was generally annoying. However, the downside is for example with notifications.

For example, before PulseAudio, I could configure Skype to always ring over the laptop's built-in speakers, regardless of whether the analogue headphones were plugged in. This is no longer possible, since PulseAudio does not distinguish between built-in speakers and built-in analogue port any more, while old Alsa did. So in my office, where some analogue headphones are plugged into the docking station, I never hear Skype ringing if I don't wear the headphones.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Redirect Input To Output Pulse Audio?

Aug 2, 2011

I have a TV card connected to my Dish box, and I would like to use it on my computer. The tv card works fine, and the audio is connected to my line in. The audio card receives the audio signal, and I can set the volume and record it without any problem, but I can't get it to redirect to an output in order to hear the sound. I have been battling with this issue since a kernel update back when 11.2 was about to come out. Back then, the alsa mixer had an option called audio loop-back, which did the trick. Since I know I ca record the audio and play it back without any problem, is there an application that can do this automatically and simultaneously?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: A Recent Update Has Caused IEC958 Output To Stop Working?

Feb 1, 2011

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.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: What Could Make Minidlna Stop Being Responsive?

I just reinstalled Ubuntu at least twice for this problem: Minidlna starts fine for a few minutes, I can see it on the network with my television, windows and even my phone. However, after a few minutes (say one hour), it stops being there. The process keeps running, and is kinda responsive to rescans and restarts. However it becomes unusable after a few minutes. The last reinstall was pretty basic: Installed Ubuntu 9.04, upgraded to 10.04 (servers), installed minidlna, wait and... bam! So there were no conflicts in all that, so what could make minidlna stop being responsive?
