Normally i use "arecord" to capture and dump in a file (.wav). If i want to play the file then i use "aplay". But, is it possible that, insted of capturing to a file and then playing the file offline, if i want to play it realtime
View 1 RepliesMy audio is working on my recent koala install. System wav files play without a problem.
However, when I open a terminal to play my own wav files I get an error. (I encountered this problem merely by trying to setup an incoming mail notification with CheckGmail....)
The command: aplay /home/saskms/Music/test.wav
The error: aplay: test_wavefile:807: can't play WAVE-file format 0x0002 which is not PCM or FLOAT encoded
I think I have installed all the necessary gstreamer options. I am guessing that maybe I just need to re-rip the WAV file into a different format. I also tried doing searches on the error, but yielded no results.
I am looking to play a simple sound effect as an event notification in a C program I am working on, but want to do it as simply and easily as possible. Portability is of no concern (this is a Linux-only application) nor is the format of the audio file (the file will be bundled with the application, so I can make the format whatever is necessary).The simplest way seems to be just calling "aplay" from within my program, but I am not sure if this is really a safe approach or not. Is this is a reasonable enough solution for a simple task like this? Other than the program not existing on the host OS (which obviously I would check for on execution), are there any other pitfalls?

I'm trying to get sound to go out that HDMI cable, but although the device shows up on lspci, I can't get it acknowledged by aplay -l, which lists the audio devices known to the audio driver.
lspci shows (in part): 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) The first is the motherboard audio, and it works fine. The second (I assume) is the graphics card with HDMI. But aplay -l lists only the motherboard analog and S/PDIF outputs:

I can't see how I'm going to select a device that the drivers think isn't there. how to make that device visible to the sound drivers? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with a 2.6.32 stock kernel. The Nvidia driver version is 195.36.24.
I have ALSA on Ubuntu 11.04 version.
When I play aplay through my normal user, I am able to get the output.
When I do this with the root user, the command hangs: below stuff happens
root@myuser:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
(hangs)
Also if I export the $HOME to /home/myuser/ then it works. So whats wrong for running the aplay command with a root.
I had a working Ubuntu 9.10 with Windows 7 installed, and i was writing an image of IPCOP [URL] to the USB drive incorrectly, i did mkfs on my primary partation i.e. /dev/sda1 now i am trapped in situation, i was trying to write and usb-hdd image of ipcop on USB Drive, while doing so, i have given following commands
1. mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
2. e2label usb-pen
3. zcat filename > /dev/sda1
* now the stupid thing i have done, is given /sda1( My HDD ) instead of /sdb1 (USB Drive), it has successfully loaded IPCOP bootable on my primary drive, and my laptop is not working now.
Laptop Partation Info:
/dev/sda1 - NTFS (Windows 7 Prof)
/dev/sda2 - NTFS
[code].....
now i want to get my partitions & data back, if anybody have idea about how to get rid of this situation. The good thing i have done, is that, i didn't tried to install anything on the drive after this happened, with hopes that i can get my data back i guess that it can be recovered but confusion is that, which data recovery software to use, and for linux or windows, as i had my data on NTFS filesystem and currently there is Free Space and EXT4 partition.
I can't get arecord to record any sound. I've tried running firefox with some streaming stuff or even just playing a song with totem from a mp3 on my hard drive. I'm running
Code:
But the resulting test.wav has no sound in it.
I'm running maverick as installed. What gives?
I'm completely new to ALSA and I'm having trouble using the arecord program.
Using the following command: arecord -t wav -f cd -d 5 test.wav
Creates a .wav file 5 seconds long as expected.
However when playing this file there is no sound.
I've had a look using 'alsamixer' and the capture volume is over half way so I'm assuming it's not that.
is there a resource/material that can simulate a RHEL on your personal machine so that one can practice for RH302 exam accurately? I am looking to practice sample questions with some kind of simulation environment where the scenario is similar to the real-time scenario that we can expect in the exam. For instance, the system is already broken with what is mentioned in the question so that I can focus only on solving the problem rather than breaking it first. I am looking for something specific to RHCE exam preparation/practice rather than using a tool like trouble-maker.

I'm an Ubuntu newbie here, and I recently bought an ASUS N53JF-XE1 laptop, and after a new installation of Ubuntu 10.10, I don't seem to be able to get the sound working (neither from speakers, nor from headphones). I've been searching a lot of places, and with no luck and a lot of frustration, I'm coming here for a possible solution! According to "lspci -v", this is the info for my sound card:
Code:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 1113
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3
Memory at d9c00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Using "aplay -l" gives me this:
Code: aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found... It seems to me that I'm somehow missing the drivers for my sound card. However, I don't know where to find the correct drivers or how to install them. I've been all over the alsa-project website, and I can't find anything useful.
I installed Xubuntu to a flashdrive using unetbootin. Since I only have a 2GB drive I installed Fluxbox instead of XFCE to save space. I install alsa-utils to try to get some audio going. aplay and speaker-test gets nothing at all. Both as sudo and a reg user. I have turn up the volume on everything in alsamixer. I believe the relevant drivers are loaded.
Code:
I lost sound after restarting, I had sound, then on my reboot... No sound. I tried to google the problem and ran the common tasks of removing and re-installing "alsa-base" and "pulseaudio" using apt-get in terminal. But after trying all this I have now lost the volume control at the top right of my screen I have no idea what the issue is, in System > Preferences > Sound I get nothing under Hardware, nothing under Input, "Dummy Output" under Output, and nothing special under Applications. Here is the results of commands in terminal which I have commonly see people been asked to do:
Code:
sudo aplay -l

The only thing I think that could of triggered everything to mess up is some mods I made to to the alsa-base.conf file - What I did to it I can't remember, But I have tried to remove these two lines of code at the end of it, saved it, restarted my computer and still no audio. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) 64Bit Kernel Linux 2.6.35-22-Generic GNOME 2.32.0
I'm running Fedora 12 and at some point about a year ago my ALSA just stopped working. After posts, trials, etc, no joy. Now, after a few more months, and further F12 updates, I'm trying to get back to it.I have:
Code:
[root@DadPC ~]# cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
[code]....
My sound was working quite fine with Fedora 13 (Internal Audio) until I decided that I want to install the appropriate driver from the vendor's website.
[Code]...
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.

View 9 Replies View Relatedis there a realtime or low-latency kernel in a repository somewhere for OpenSUSE 11.4? I know I can just compile a rt kernel, but that's a bit tedious and I'd like to avoid it if possible.
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust got Studio 9.10 running and the RT kernel installed. I have a Prescott P4 3.2ghz (hyperthreading) and i encountered what looks like a common freeze problem. I am guessing my cpu will not be supported in the RT kernel since it is pretty old now.I added nosmp acpi=off during boot at the Grub2 menu and it booted fine and I was able to capture some video great.
My questions is, if I remove the smp support by using the nosmp option, do I still benefit from the RT kernel or would I do just as well with the generic kernel I have installed?Eventually I will upgrade do a new system board and processor but for now I just got some life back in this one by switching to Linux
I have investigated loads and loads of options and haven't really yet come across what I need.
I wish to stream the microphone input from a PC using Lucid to another PC also using Lucid on the same network. I don't care about the quality, however, latency is really important. I hope to use it to monitor the cries of my baby daughter, so the lower the latency the better.
I have tired various options:
- FFserver and FFmpeg - latency of over 30 seconds
- VLC - couldn't get it to work with my mic and maxes out the CPU
- ssh server 'cat /dev/dsp > /dev/dsp' - latency of around 5 seconds by audio keeps breaking up with huge delays
- icecast2 and darkice - latency of around 7 seconds but no audio breakups
I've been reading on maybe using PulseAudio to stream the input, but I am not sure if it will work or not...
how to get near real-time streaming audio? As I said, it is the realtime, not the quality that is important...

This might be a very stupid questions, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there are any antivirus software for Linux?I know that it normally is not something that is needed, but in the company where I work they have a policy saying that every OS must have a realtime anti virus program installed on the pc's with automatic updates.

I was listening to some Chopin today and I thought how cool it would be if there would be a way to put the sound output of Amarok (or anything else, maybe line-in or microphone) through some effects that would make it sound like being read from a vintage vinyl disk. Or when listening atmospheric folk songs about forests, it would be really cool to add some echo or reverberation, so it would sound like a large forest, ooor... But you get the idea. Is there any nice way of putting Amarok's sound through JACK, and from then on through a sound effector?
