Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Sometimes Dosent Work When Logged In / Silverlight?
Feb 27, 2010
this never seems to happen on my main admin account, but on the second user account sometime after i log in sound stops working. ive checked the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide and my sound chip shows(onboard). what should i do to try and solve this? also i was wondering if there's and ubuntu equivalent of silverlight?
I have a problem with my gui . i have I810 onboard graphics . it says something like ( agpgart not there ) celeron 633mhz old machine 256 mg ram 20gb master and 7 gb slave . first drive is debian 2.4 and slave is winxp . i also have a lt winmodem i would like to get goin . i cant seem to figure out how to mount the floppy . i tried vi /etc/fstab but cant figure out the lingo .when i loaded it before i had everything working ,kde , floppy ,sound, but no modem .im totally stuck in command line (witch is fun ), because my cdrom went out so i cant just reload debian. i hope this makes some kind of sense to someone .
I have a pc where I run ubuntu 10.10 and on this pc i have installed vlc and on boot i start the vlc http interface. Therefor I created the file /etc/init.d/vlc. The file seems like this:
[URL]
and I also updated rc.d. Vlc starts on boot as desired I also can send commands like in_play the file (a playlist) is loaded and reguarding the status.xml the file is played. But when no user is logged in I hear no sound. When I perform a login on the machine there is first still no sound but when I send e.g. the pl_next command or call in_play again then there is sound. Sadly the pc shouldn't be attached to a monitor and therefor I can't perform a login everytime so I need sound, when noone is logged in. Why is there no sound?
I'm trying to get the SKyplayer to work but it needs Silverlight. So, I installed the moonlight plugin. However, when I try to watch live TV, nothing plays. It looks like it's loading but the screen just stays white:
I'm trying to watch some of my college's sports online, and they are set-up to use silver-light, but for me it is epic fail. Seems like others are having similar problems, but that is why this is a FAQ, or a FOP, frequently occurring problem. And if I don't post it again, its not treated as a frequent occurring problem. The college page suggests that I use moonlight to watch, but the iced/tea program it recommended broke other programs operation.
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 like to view some tv-streams of missed programs and other stuff, but more and more Microsofts Silverlight is used. The alternative Moonlight does not work, well..., it probably will if I accept to install a Mircosoft Media Pack (!), and to do so, I have to accept a Microsoft EULA..[URL]..Excepting something from Microsoft... I am not in favour of doing that on my lovely Ubuntu-machine..
I'm running a VM (headless), and sound only works when I am logged into a gnome session. Sound (from any application, including VLC running in a terminal) is stopped when I switch user. How do I prevent this from happening?
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 was at the login screen on my desktop and I tried to hit my samba share from my Ubuntu laptop. Couldn't find it.I logged in, went back to my laptop, oh hey it worked.I have a static IP assigned to my desktop. Is there any reason why this backfired? I'm just trying to find the proper answer for this
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.
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 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 )
Since today the keyboard doesn't work. I can input username and password but after logged in I can't work with the keyboard. It seems locked. The mouse works correctly. If I boot with Windows the keyboard works correctly.
