I am experiencing a loud crackle sound coming from my speakers at startup. It appears to be the alsa driver because when I disable it the crackle/pop stops. Sound works when playing back music and videos however. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I reported the issue to launchpad, and was told the issue would be fixed in the latest kernel; 2.6.35.2. I upgraded to 10.10.

i'm looking for a webcam viewer/recorder that can remove the perspective distortion. (ie a square looked at from an angle becomes a trapezium). Mplayer can remove the distortion but it can only view the webcam, not record to file. Mencoder can record, but not view. But I need to view and record simultaneously (sigh). ...

For some reason, Pidgin has *always* made a crackling sound before playing the actual event sound on my linux systems. It finally bugged me enough to go tinker with the sound settings. I changed the sound method from "automatic" to "ALSA" and the crackling goes away.

I've recently noticed a really irritating tick tick crackly sound coming from the audio system with intermittent crackles in between them, very irritating.

Just got Ubuntu 10.04, Ive had some experience before with it but this is the first time I have completely removed Windows (7) from my system....
Okay, short and sweet, I have a Gateway Lt31 series netbook, It has a {Ati X1200 Graphics/video card}. I get really bad distortion on the top of my screen at all times, and at others the entire screen becomes Distorted. Sometimes the text becomes no mre than mere blurs and I cant see particular letters ( I cant see the "v,n, or o" right now).
Im downloading the 9.10 iso now and will downgrade if necessary

I can barely use the live session CD of Ubuntu 11.04 because,everything gets corrupted,i cant open new windows because it starts to get horrible, like if i had a graphics problem, managed somehow to open Mozilla and write this, but its impossible to do anything else that needs to open more windows layers...
I never had this problem with ubuntu before... my graphics are intel extreme graphics 2.i cant even use the terminal because it is in few words... invisible, unless I move it but then, disappears.I can work normally using windows. Also i have ubuntu karmic live cd and works perfectly.

I upgraded via the terminal from 9.10 to 10.04 and after the upgrade I've been having these weird horizontal screen distortions. I was wondering if there will be a fix to this, and if I'm the only one experiencing this.

I am using Natty and its favoring me with too much of screen and cpu overloading problems.After some usage with movies or browsing, it gets a distortion and whole horizontal lines appear on the screen like a 8BIT distorted Video game. The background actually runs good, since i tried playing mp3 and got the error after wards. After distortion, the windows start flicker and changing. Is there any way to stop this?Second thing,The cpu easily becomes full while mounting drives or surfing itself.

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 beta. After installing the flash player, everything worked fine. I installed a few updates, as well as Ubuntu Stuido from the synaptic package manager, and when I rebooted, I can't hear any sound from flash content displayed in Fire Fox. All other sounds work fine, and I made another user account as a test, and that account has full audio functionality, including flash...

I was wondering if there were any way of adding or changing where Rhythmbox gets its lyrics from as it never finds lyrics for any of the songs I listen to, making it a rather useless feature.If I recall correctly, Songbird was much better at actually getting hold of lyrics for songs I listen to, so is it possible to switch to whatever site Songbird (possibly a plugin for Songbird rather than it being native) gets its lyrics from? (Also, I just realised I posted this in the wrong section)

It's an eMachines T2899 desktop, FIC AU31 motherboard, nForce2 chipset, AC97 sound (integrated), running Xubuntu 10.04 (wubi install), 2.6.32-22.I've got terrible sound latency (about one second between actions and sound) in some programs.Flash in both firefox and chrome (including ..... videos) and ZSNES (SNES emulator) are two offenders, as is Audacity.Videos played in the default "movie player" and VLC play with no delay, though.I've been told it could be an issue with the ALSA buffer size, or pulseaudio introducing latency... but I've no clue how to go about fixing it.Upon using the SNES9X emulator (which allows for choice of sound system)... Portaudio causes laggy emulation and bad sound latency. Open Sound System plays fine. SDL causes laggy emulation and bad sound latency. ALSA plays fine. Pulse Audio plays fine."sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio" did nothing, so I reinstalled it just in case.

I have a 64bit desktop and 64bit laptop. I upgraded both to 10.10 and they both have the same problem with compiz. Even though I selected the cylinder distortion, the rotating desktops will not deform to a cylinder unless I select "Wallpaper" in compiz but when I do that, the cylinder is completely transparent AND objects (like windows or bouncing/squishing icons in AWN appear not to refresh. Like a window will not disappear after closing.
As an aside, I have four different wallpapers selected for the four different desktops, but none of them display when I select "Wallpaper" in compiz, I just get the transparent cylinder.
If I deselect "Wallpaper" in compiz, the problem with the refresh disappears immediately, as does the transparent wallpapers but the cylinder becomes disabled and I am left with a cube with a single wallpaper and no ability to decrease opacity during rotation.
This has happened with both my desktop and laptop. I have tried uninstalling all compiz components in Synaptic Package Manager and adding them back one at a time in case I added some conflicting components but this doesn't seem to help.
I did not change settings in the updates, so I have to assume that the problem has something to do with a bug in Compiz. The two computers have different video cards and the drivers are up to date, so I'm at a loss.
Has anyone else found this problem? Has anyone been able to display the cylinder distortion with four desktops with different wallpapers?

Flash was updated two days ago on my system:
Since then, I have been unable to get any sound out of flash. All other sound sources work fine.

F12 current updates. The Gnome Desktop Background images are compressed in the horizontal axis enough to make a cessna 182 look like a disney cartoon. I am running 1280X1084 75 hertz update rate. The Gnome Image Viewer gives a correct image. The image I am running had to be stretched to fill the screen. I suspect the stretching algorithm is at fault. Is this a bug that need reporting?

II installed flashplayer by every different method I can so far, and all of them have the same problem. This problem presents itself, for example, while playing a video on ...... As the video loads, flashplayer is fine, but as soon as it starts playing, the browser tab begins to run at roughly 1 frame per 10 seconds. When I turn the browser priority to maximum in System Monitor, it improves slightly, going to about 1 frame per second. The strange part is, my CPU and memory usage barely spike at all, to less than 30%. This happens regardless of browser (have tried iceweisel and chrome). It happens with hardware acceleration on, and off. I have tried installing flashplayer from the tar.gz on the adobe website, from the repository (all three packages), and manually placing the plugin in the browser myself. The issue presents itself the same every time.
My system specs are: 1.83GHz duel core intel centrino processor, 3GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600. Nothing fancy, but flash player performs as flawlessly as flashplayer can under windows (and also performed well in my previous Ubuntu 10.04LL install).

Ok first off, I love debian, but on my new notebook I am getting a little frustrated with the terrible, video performance.Direct rendering is enabled on both systems, and openGL is working (I can if I wanted to use compiz etc...) fine on both systems, just running slow on debian.
I have tried Lenny, Squeeze and Sid, I have compiled the intel driver (and Mesa3D) from git and got it working (I am sure its working because its given me a slight boost), I ahve also tried building the latest stable (and RC2) kernel.If I install ubuntu 9.10 I get pretty decent 3D performance, its not ground breaking, but hey its an intel chipset so I am not expecting to kick the latest nvidia / ati card's backside.I really dont want to use ubuntu, I find it unstable when compaired to debian, but I also want to be able to play the odd game when I am bored, and at the moment I just cant do that under debian

I am trying to get networking up on an old PII which I have successfully installed with FC4. There is a link and activity on the onboard interface because I see the indicator lights. The controller is a 3Com PCI 3c905 Boomerang 100baseTx @ 0xdc80.The only message returned by dmesg about eth0 is "Dropping NETIF_F_SG since no checksum feature."The driver module, 3c59x, is loaded as well as the mii module that depends on it.There is something about "unknown parameter`irq'" in the dmesg text regarding the driver.I noticed that eth0 is sharing an IRQ with the UHCI Host Controller.That should not be a problem, but it should not be necessary. And I could do away with USB if this is a conflict and that is the easiest way to solve it.When I drop to console at runlevel 3, and call dhclient, which is installed, I get a message telling me there is no reply to the dhcp request.I don't think the problem is on the router/switch side.

I use my system as my stereo. It's the only thing I listen to. For quite some time now though, I have had a problem with audio not being properly played. What I get is what sounds like reverberation in the audio feed. I found that increasing the amount of time for the feeds to be buffered helps, but only partially.
I also installed another parallel system in this very same computer (on a different disk) which initially didn't have this problem. But then I did an upgrade and the problem became apparent on that system also. However after having done a couple of reboots, I noticed the problem disappeared. Now that system running is running clean as it was initially.
This may be an issue with my nVidia drivers. I'm not sure. Because I noticed problems on the second parallel system after attempting to install the proprietary nVidia graphics driver, which had numerous unpleasant side effects. So I removed it. But the problem didn't go away immediately. Only after I had rebooted a number of times did the sound begin to play as it would normally be expected to.
My primary system, the one from which I am now posting this runs KDE. But on the parallel system, due to a much smaller disk space, I am running XFCE. So this isn't a KDE-only issue.

I have used Ubuntu and Linux Mint for quite some time now until I got a new machine. Some friends told me to try OpenSUSE because it has really been polished over the last few years.Install went smoothly got everything working properly except for my video card. My video card is an ATI HD4890 with sound support over HDMI. I had the sound working in Ubuntu using the non-oss ATI drivers. I was wondering if someone could please teach me how to install them again here on OpenSUSE 11.3. My screen fonts and colors also look terrible compared to Windows or Ubuntu.
Is there a way I can make it look better? I remember CCC (Catalyst Control Center for ATI) had two color formats (RGB and YCbCr). I had to set it to YCbCr because my screen is an HDTV and it looked much cleaner than RGB. Is there a way I can acheive similar results with OpenSUSE?

When trying to "Leave" the system (either via the small button on the lower right of the taskbar or by right clicking on the Desktop and selecting "Leave") the logout / shutdown / restart screen comes up. I have the "Logout" desktop effect activated, which is supposed to desaturated the background when the Leave screen appears. However, instead of simply greying out the background, the image on the desktop and the rest of the screen also gets slightly distorted, with seemingly random distortion effects cropping up all over the place (e.g. horizontal lines or large blurs).
These distortions are different every time the Leave screen comes up. The Leave screen itself is displayed fine, and apart from the dodgy background I have no other issues with the whole process (the system shuts down or restarts properly according to my choice). I am using the Radeon drivers, and all other desktop effects I have on (Magic lamb, cover switch, present windows, etc) work fine and without a hitch. It's only the Logout effect that seems to glitch. Are the distortions intentionally created by the effect in order to emphasize the focus on the Leave screen?

When I go to, say ..... or even speedtest.net the flash there is almost unusable. Mouse over interaction works perfectly. However, when you click on something (say a play button) its a complete crapshoot. Sometimes it works, some times you have to click dozens (often more) of times before it will respond. I had an older install of 9.10 (granted it was a while ago and I believe it was 32bit) and I don't ever remember having this issue and I just removed an openSUSE install that I know didn't have this issue. So far my only attempts to fix this would be the remove --purge of the restricted extras pack and reinstalling it. I have also tried installing flash through the Software Center. This particular issue exists in both Firefox and Chrome and I'm not too sure what to make of it. On boot, for some reason, my main volume is always turned all the way down and muted.

i was using ubuntu 09.10 and everything worked fine. when i upgrated to the new version, i had no sound using videos.i installed the version flash 10 and flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound from package manager and the problem was fixed for a few days. suddenly, i had no sound again. other sound applications work properly.i checked the plugins of mozilla and discovered that the shockwave flash version was 9.0 r31! however, the package manager says that the 10 version is installed!i tried to upgrade the version of the plugin. it sends me to a link of adobe where i can download a tar.gz file. i follow the instructions:
<installation instructions for tar.gz1. click the download link to begin installation. a dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.2. save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.3. unpackage the file. a directory called install_flash_player_10_linux will be created.4. in terminal, navigate to this directory and type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer. click enter. the installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).5. once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your mozilla browser. to verify, launch mozilla and choose help > about plug-ins from the browser menu.>when i open the tar.gz file, i only see a file named libflashplayer.so, which is extracted as such. no match with the previous instructions and as a result i cannot follow them to install that file.
