Ubuntu Sudden Sound Problem

view full story
linux-howto

http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi folks, In the last week I have been noticing sound issues. Today my sound stopped working all together. I have a dual boot system: Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.10. The sound works fine under XP. My understanding is that there are problems with PulseAudio. Ive checked all the obvious things such as "mute" etc. My guess would be a corrupted sound card driver, but im not sure of the best way to remove it and reinstall it. (HowTos)

Slackware 13 sound issue 3 years 14 weeks ago

I had Slackware 12 on my computer for awhile with no problems. Then I tried Ubuntu and did not stick with it very long so I went back to Slack 13. Now my sound works but only one program at a time can use it. How do i fix this? I will be listening to a song and have firefox open on youtube and it wont play the youtube sound.

External Microphone not working 3 years 15 weeks ago

It's great to be a newby on this forum. I have been loving Ubuntu 9.10 and all was working fine until I tried to Skype. My Mic stopped working. I have tried all avenues. Sound prefs, input/output connections all I hear is static hiss.

How can I resolve the problem? I've even tried different mic's.

Please help.

Sound isn't working anymore 3 years 15 weeks ago

hy guys.

I'm using Slackware 13.0 and Win XP Pro. Yesterday I had to plug off my PCI soundcard (Terratec Aureon 5.1).

After i plugged it in, I could't use my sound nor in linux and windows.

In Windows I'm not able to install the drivers, which were already installed.

How can I solve my problem?

I have this one AVI file legally downloaded from Veoh, which, however, I cannot playback. If I try to play it back under Totem 2.26.5, (GStreamer 0.10.25), I can see the video, I get no obvious error messages, but I get no sound no matter what I set the volume to: other files I get sound.

Under Properties, I see for the Audio codec: Dolby Digital (AC-3).

The Scancat LIVES!!! 3 years 15 weeks ago

I just saw a show online about some store up north. They have this handy little handheld scanning device that customers can use in the store to get prices and info on their purchases. Doesn't this sound eerily like the good ole Scancat???!!! Sorry I don't have the details. I'm trying to find it.

Hello everyone, I am new to the world of Linux; I am hoping to learn a few things that will aid me on my journey to using this operating system.
