Ubuntu Multimedia :: Shows The Message As Follows "Waiting For Sound System To Respond"
Mar 22, 2011
I am using ubuntu 10.10 and today my audio suddenly stopped playing properly. It is playing at a very low volume and when i try to open sound preferences then i am introduced to a dialog box which shows the message as follows "Waiting for sound system to respond.". After this the dialog box closes without showing any preferences options. Now how can i make my sound drivers as they were before ? ..

I just installed ubuntu 10.04 although everything works fine I have a problem related to sound, When I click Preferences/Sound I get the message "waiting for sound system to respond" and actually it does not respond at all. Although, I have downloaded, compiled and installed linux drivers from realtek website it did not fix the problem. internet which is simply deleting .pulse folder and restarting it didnt work either.At the moment I am using terminal alsamixer for controlling sound level but even the maximum attainable volume is too low.

So, I followed the verbatim instructions from Alsa to OSS here:[url]
I did this in hopes of getting sound in Fusion 3.63 to work.
Now, when I try to go to System > Preferences > Sound, it just says "Waiting for sound system to respond" and just hangs there until I hit cancel.
Also, when I plug-in my headphones, it plays through the headphones AND the system speakers.

I've spend the morning poking through forums and attempting every fix suggested and still no luck on this one:At first i didn't have any sound. But now I do (and I'm not sure which solution fixed the problem). But I still don't have a Sound icon in my menu bar and when I attempt to access my Sound Preferences I receive the message: "Waiting for sound system to respond" which display indefinitely.
I tried:
- removing and reinstalling alsa packages
- deleting the .pulse folder
- adding a Pulseadio daemon

I have installed Fedora 11 recently on a new system. Sphinx speech recognition was working fine on my old system. When i run the same project on my new system, the system does not respond as it is waiting for microphone voice input.
Then I checked the microphone and have set it properly and its working now. The details how i made my microphone working is at the following link: [url]
Though, I can record and play any sound, but it is not working with sphinx project.

I have a fresh install of Natty and i'm having some issues getting sound to work. My laptop has a built in sound card which works just fine. However, i also have a usb 5.1 sound card which isn't working at all. Both devices show up in 'Sound Preferences' but when i select the 5.1 device as the output device sound doesnt work. I ran the alsa-info.sh script and the output can be found here.

I have had on and off problems with my sound for quite some time now. Each time it would stop working, I would find a fix which would work for a month or so, then I would go back to having no sound. I have had consistent sound on my Windows partition, so I don't think something is wrong with the hardware. The first fix I used was using "sudo alsa force-reload" to get ALSA working again. The latest fix I used was to add the line "options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba" to alsa-base.conf, which worked up until now. My built-in computer speakers won't make any sound, nor will my external monitors when they are plugged into the headphone jack. I do get sound when I plug in a pair of USB headphones.
I have tried using the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solution Guide [url], but I run into a predicament...
aplay -l (with or without being root) gives...
Code:
Code:
Alsamixer isn't much help either. It shows the name of my card in the top left, but there are no sliders to adjust.
I've tried compiling the modules from source, reinstalling through Synaptic, and plenty of other things, to no avail. Ubuntu 10.04 on a Toshiba Satellite U305-S5107

I'd like to introduce Spectrum3d, a new software that displays harmonics of the sound in 3D with OpenGL for Ubuntu. Audio source can be the microphone or an audio file, and it is Jack (jack-audio-connection-kit) compatible in option. Optionally, it can be run in real-time when not running with Jack; also optionally, it can receive multitouch input (either from touchscreen, or from touchpad). X represents frequencies, Y represents amplitude of each frequencies and Z represents time.
The perspective can be changed either by rotating or by translating the display around or along the 3 axis without limitations. Here is a quick link to a demo video : [URL]. It can be found here : [URL]. And here is a link to a tutorial explaining how it works : [URL]. It is free and under GPL license. It uses the Gtk+, SDL, OpenGL, Gstreamer and uTouch-Geis free libraries. It works on Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04, but should work on other distributions also. Multitouch input however has not been tested on 10.04. It is still beta; testers are welcome.

I was just using the mic and watched it stop working suddenly. I was in the middle of a skype test call when the graphical mixer level died down to zero in the middle of the call. When the test call was played back, the first part sounded fine then the sound got lower until it became inaudible. Since then I can't get any sound from my mic in skype.
Also, the audio input level graphically shown in Sound Preferences shows no fluctuations in sound as it used to before. The input device is enabled. I tried using Sound Recorder to record some sound clips and that worked fine. So the mic is working but Sound Preferences and Skype seem to have the mic level really low. I'm not sure what else to think considering it was working perfectly a few minutes ago. I've tried restarting, but that didn't fix it either.

I downloaded a linux kernel from linux.org to check what is the kernel is about, i clicked on make_file or make sth .. and in the same session i downloaded a program called login window.
Now the problem is that the system boots ok, it gives me a msg saying that system is running in low graphics mode, when i press ok i get a few options like troubleshootin or restart x or use back up configuration .. and nothing works .. when i press start normally it never stops loading .. i can see the terminal when clicking ctrl + alt + f1,f2 ... but when i press ctrl + alt + f7 or return back to the desktop ubuntu is still loading .. it never stops loading.
And after using ubuntu for a while i really hate windows 7 .. i have it on the system, so is there a way to fix this problem?

I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 X64, and am using ALSA for my sound. I have no trouble with sound: VLC, Adobe's Flash plugin, Java, etc. all work properly. When I run the Gnash standalone player, sound does not work at all.
When I run Gnash in a terminal, I get this:

I recently installed the x64 rpm of OSS on my Opensuse 11.2 installation (alsa does not have drivers for my lynx card). Sound works beautifully in KDE (login sounds, apps produce sound, etc), EXCEPT for firefox. I can get no sound at all from firefox. I am baffled at why only firefox does not play audio.
System:
OpenSuse 11.2 (it is a pretty fresh install)
OpenSoundSystem 4.2
KDE 4.4 (updated from factory repos)

In ubuntu 10.04 my X-fi Fatal1ty Titanium sound card worked for my speakers but I had to use onboard sound for the mic. When I installed 10.10 the sound card no longer works at all so I have to run the speakers through the onboard sound.
The second problem I have is that Skype will not pick up my microphone all other programs seem to be able to record from the microphone just fine but skype does not. Ive tried selecting all the different input device options from the skype settings but none of them seem to work.
EDIT: Sound doesn't work at all in wine.
EDIT2: The X-fi card no longer shows up in the sound control panel.

Any time I watch a screencast dealing with notifications, there are always multiple of them on the screen. But when I have a program that uses them it always just allows one at a time.

Suddenly today during the start up the pc stopped to respond while doing a file system check...
I switch it off, restarted and everything seemed to be fine, i got the desktop without troubles.
Then i tried to boot from the live Key and run a fsck but it didn't work, i got some error like:
superblock could not be read....and at the end it says to run e2fsck
I did it and i got the same error...
So i restarted ubuntu and i decided to try:
And i got a blue screen where i selected the first option (something alike restart in normal way)
At the next restart i finally got the checking and it was fine! why i can't run fsck or e2fsck from live key

All of these freezes happen either while I'm in Nautilus or I'm opening Nautilus. The usual Ctrl+Alt+Fx (x being one to six) to get into the backstage does not work. If I have some music open then it would start looping the last couple of seconds.Now generally I would go check the logs, but I see no nautilus logs so what should I check?This is all pretty recent. I think that this started to happen when one day exim4 (and some packages all marked exim) got updated but I cannot be certain. Major playing-around after that would be some Wine issues but the system froze once before all that Wine fun.So step one, what should I check?
EDIT: OK, .xsession-errors ouput:
Code:
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...

I have a redhat 4 on a Hp Proliant server. I did a restart of the server. Now it is not getting to the grub menu. It shows:
Attempting boot from hard drive (C

I know it has something to do with some controller stuff and I could not figure it out. It used to be working till I reboot.

I'm writing a script using ksh that diffs two dirs that contain about 30 files, and writing the results on a logfile. When files differ, it writes the difference with no problem, but I also need the script to write a message if no differences are found.

I've just upgraded my wife's netbook to UNR 9.10. This seemed to go well and the netbook has been working fine since. Yesterday my daughter used the netbook with out any issues, but when my wife tried it halted during boot with:
Swap waiting for UUID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After a couple of reboots it started working fine, but looking at /etc/fstab the entry for swap is different to the UUID shown in blkid Do I just update fstab with the UUID from blkid?

I just recently installed ubuntu (two days ago). Everything is working as expected, except the sound. For one reason or another I cant get any sound at all. So I searched around a little on my computer and noticed that sound devices were not enabled for this computer. So I turned it on and still got nothing. Then I went through the comprehensive guide to fix sound and still nothing. Although Alsa did not have my exact audio sound card (HDA ATI and Intel) it did have the generic one, so I tried that. Nothing. I was wondering if anyone knows a solution to get my sound cards to work. Im posting them up here.

When I was upgrading my system (ubuntu server edition) today from 8.10 to 10.04 (of course in small steps: upgrade version after version) everything seemed running smoothly. But when I restarted it, it gave an error message: Gave up waiting on root device. Screenshot of error and grub menu attached. I've read some information about it and applied the possible workaround given here: [URL]. My system is very old and so is the HDD: it uses an IDE connector. Typing 'exit' doesn't work either.

I am not getting sound output from the system... i earlier got it...But after reinstalling I removed Sound applet from the Panel... Hardware is detected as it should be. I think it is because I configured the applet earlier, but as I removed it, I don't know how to restore it...
So tell me how to restore the sound applet as It is not coming in Add to panel menu....

Ubuntu 10.04 installed recently. Problem when watching a DVD with VLC. It plays OK, but won't respond to the mouse pointer. I can raise the volume by putting the pointer over the screen and using the scroll, but that is the only thing that responds. I have to get out of the program by doing a force quit. It worked fine in 9.10. I don't know if this is a VLC or Ubuntu problem.
