Hi all. It seems that a lot of people have been having the same issue as I used to - the headphones and speakers play at the same time in a lot of systems with the Intel HDA (ALCxxx) sound cards and the ICH8/ICH8M chipsets. I managed to get this fixed by adding

to my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file.

If this doesn't work for you, you can try going to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588089 to expand on this solution.

I mean to make it play all the codecs that MPlayer does.:confused:

Hi, I recently started using some Jabra BT620s headphones. I just want to get them working with my laptop so I can listen to music. They are Bluetooth which I have had very little luck getting to work. They also have a USB cable for charging and streaming. Either use would be fine with me, I just want them to work. I don't need the microphone to work as I don't use Skype or any other voice program. If anyone can help me with either the USB or Bluetooth set up I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Running Hardy Heron with all of the latest updates. Have a very fine working xorg.conf that Kubuntu now decides (it didn't always do this) to overwrite with a totally non-working one. The new generated xorg.conf hoses a working xorg.conf and only allows for a lousy 640x480 on a 21" Samsung 213T.

From working xorg.conf: From non-working generated xorg.conf:And what's that stupid virtual window of 1920x1440?

The first one works, the second one doesn't. From the log:Everything would be fine if the system did not continually overwrite xorg.conf. How to resolve this issue? Thanks.

I am running hardy and my sansa e250 mounts as /media/Sansa e250. next time it is connected it mounts as media/Sansa e250_. next time it is /media/Sansa e250__. a new underscore is added everytime. the old entries stay there until i change the owner and delete them. any thought? thanks.

I've been trying to get a working recording setup going here on this new system for a week now. I previously had a great setup with Slackware on some older hardware, sporting an Audigy Platinum card with LiveDrive. Everything worked great with Jack and Ardour.

I recently built a new system and went with Ubuntu. I love Ubuntu thus far, having used Linux for 8 years now I'm tired of manually dealing with updates.

I moved my trusty Audigy card over, and after a few hiccups, finally got the Mic2/Line2 input on the LiveDrive working. However, I still have NO output at all from the LiveDrive headphone jack. This used to work in Slackware, and a quick reboot to XP confirmed the drive is working properly. I just cannot get this front panel to work right.

I've tried setting ALL outputs to max on, unmuted everything, toggled every switch in the mixer, still no output on the headphone. When I boot the system and listen with the headphones, I get the slight hiss indicating the phones and jack work, up until the kernel initializes the sound, which it then goes completely mute.

Does anyone have any advice at all?

I've tried QAmix, Kmix, alsamixer. I've read the docs for alsa in the kernel source, and everything I can find in a google search. I just don't get what I might be missing here.

I'm having a massive amount of problems installing my 8800GTS. I managed to install the latest Nvidia drivers from their site manually and they worked flawlessly for a little while. As soon as I turned on my computer the next day; however, Ubuntu said I had no drivers installed and that it was going to have to run in low graphics mode.

So installed them again and again as soon as the computer was rebooted the next day the drivers were gone.

Ubuntu knows they're there because on the second attempt it gave me a warning that "169.12 drivers are already installed"

Please help :(

Thank you all for your reply.

I am using Rhythmbox 0.11.2 to play an audio file, but no sound are produced. Additionally, no readable client is shown by the "connect" window.

Thinks I've tried already:
- compile a Linux -rt kernel
- linked my user to "disk" group

Any clues on how to proceed?
Thanks,

Three years ago I used gtkpod to load my iPod with 4,500 mp3s. It worked perfectly and I've used the iPod for years. I haven't ever plugged it in again because I haven't had time to rip any more CDs.

Now I have a new iPod and the Linux iPod world seems to have changed. I tried to put some songs on this new iPod with gtkpod and gtkpod was not happy and would not let me put any songs on it at all (I don't remember the exact errors because that was 3 weeks ago).

I then tried Amarok and that loaded songs onto the iPod ok, but the iPod did not recognize that any songs were on it. I did a Google search and found this web page: http://gtkpod.wikispaces.com/Sysinfo+File that says you have to put a Firewire GUID on it for it to recognize it. I did that but it still didn't work.

Finally, I thought that if I hooked it to a Mac and it put the initial db on it then Amarok could take it from there. I borrowed a MacBook and plugged it in. It said it had a DOS FAT file system and it would have to initialize it. (Which is weird because in the old days iPods always came with HFS filesytem and you had to initialize it if you were going to use it with Windoze. However, the Mac would not restore it without becoming superuser, so that was out of the question. (Which is a really dumb thing on Apple's part).

Then I borrowed another 80 GB ipod and used 'dd' to just copy the entire disk from the working iPod to the new iPod. My thinking being that if I could get it to play at all, then I could change the music later. After cloning the disk, I mounted both of them and did a diff and the two iPods were identical (no differences found).

Still... it did not think there was any music on it at all. I tried adding the Firewire GUID and discovered that now it thinks the file system is "read only". It won't let me write anything to the disk.

So I am not sure what to do now. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

I wanted to configure ubuntu gutsy such that if i'd plug the headphone in the speaker would automatically mute. I tried to install the newer version (1.0.15), but the same problem still persists.

The thing is this it got worse in that when I installed the new version, it a chaos where my keyboard controls won't work (i think they're working on the old alsa version) It seems that I have two versions installed now. I tried to re-install the older version (i can't remove it since ubuntu-desktop would be removed as well) but that didn't work

Is there a way where i can remove the new version which is not displayed on the synaptic?

Thanks,

When I try to watch any Shoutcast Tv I get error- type of stream not recognised
It was OK on Gutsy

What am I missing?

Thanks

Is there currently a software package where I can drop a m3u file and create an mp3 data disk?

Hi, I have an old IBM Thinkpad T23 running Gutsy and would like to make the mouse buttons click when pressed. I use FF and have the pop up sound extension installed, but the sounds produced are distinctly naff and I would like a sound to be produced when I click the left and right mouse buttons. I have been through the sound properties and assigned sounds to system messages, but the option to do this for the mouse is not there. Could anyone please tell me what I may need to do to make this possible. Many thanks in advance.
