If you running a GNU/Linux distro with PulseAudio by default, and you love pSX AND PulseAudio, you’re probably very mad by now hehehe… Fear not! I’ve found the solution, and would like to share with the community:

Rename the ~/.asoundrc and/or /etc/asound.conf files to something else.

There you go Simple isn’t? To think I uninstalled the WHOLE PulseAudio suite so many times just to make pSX work… tsk… : /

If the above doesn’t work, try this.

Ubuntu Forums

I just updated my main box to Karmic this past week.  This is a 32 bit box that was first installed with Hardy.

Overall it looks like they improved a bunch of stuff.  I noticed a lot of stupid annoyances with Gnome/Nautilus are gone now, and the new Pulseaudio stuff looks good.

I use this box as my main PC as well as MythTV frontend/backend with one other PC on the network as a frontend only.  My capture card is the Hauppauge PVR-250.  I run a heavily patched version of 0.21-fixes from SVN built to my needs.  For Karmic I had to update it to r20877 due to some weirdness with glibc 2.10+, anyway that was the easy part…

After compiling and attempting to run it, I wasn’t getting any audio, and the video was choppy.  My first thought was to blame pulseaudio due to the debug messages I was getting and also the fact that if I changed my “profile” in the new gnome-volume-control panel it would make audio come and go, but this fact actually turned out to be a semi red herring.

After a little investigating I discovered to my surprise that grabbing video directly from the PVR-250 via “cat /dev/video0 > output.mpg” was also producing the same screwed up video/audio as Myth live TV.  Then I checked the behavior of my frontend only machine, same problem there…  Strange, what could be causing this?  IVTV it must be.  Jaunty had IVTV module v1.4.0, Karmic has v1.4.1 which appears to be non-stable at the present time.

So I wanted to try and compile a 1.4.0 module for Karmic but couldn’t find the source on the IVTV page, so I gave up on that.  Anyway long story short, I ended up solving these very strange problems by doing the following:

1)  I found out that for some very strange reason, the ivtv module needs to be re-loaded AFTER the mythbackend is started!  WTF!  and why does this fix the problem?  Any feedback on this would be appreciated.  Does it have something to do with this weird new Karmic thing where they start all the init programs in strange order to improve the boot speed?

2)  Declare EXPERIMENTALLY_ALLOW_PULSE_AUDIO=1 in my .profile.

All is well again.  Now to go enjoy Karmic.

发现 Linux 下面的声音解决方案真的是比较杂乱，如果不弄清楚一些部件的关系就很难配置。我们知道和硬件打交道的是驱动程序，比如我的台式机上，

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller

这是 lspci 输出的结果，我们另外可以看见 lsmod 命令看到相关的内核模块已经正常加载了，

通过这些模块驱动其实还是比较底层的操作（每个模块有啥用可以看 alsa-base 里面的 /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz，比如 snd_rawmidi 是用来处理 OSS 中的 midi 的），应用程序往往需要一个更加方便的接口。传统的 OSS 就是用 /dev/dsp 作为一个接口，应用程序对其输出就好了。可是这样就会让多个程序共享声音产生问题。大家基本都知道，后来有个 ALSA 就是解决了这个问题。这里需要说明的是，ALSA 是一个较大的项目，其中包含了两个部分，一部分是内核模块，在 debian 里面是在内核的 package 里面，另外还提供了应用程序的接口库。我们可以看到传统的使用 OSS 的程序，比如 mp3blaster，我们看见

$ ldd /usr/bin/mp3blaster
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7f43000)
	libsidplay.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsidplay.so.1 (0xb7ede000)
	libvorbisfile.so.3 => /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so.3 (0xb7ed6000)
	libvorbis.so.0 => /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0 (0xb7eac000)
	libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7e74000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7e5b000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7d69000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7d43000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7d26000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7be1000)
	libogg.so.0 => /usr/lib/libogg.so.0 (0xb7bdb000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7bd7000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f44000)

其实这个播放器解决了解码（如 ogg 的库），然后将声音发给 /dev/dsp。在 ALSA 里面可以模拟这种行为，这是 alsa-oss 提供的 aoss 命令，通过访问 ALSA 提供的透明的 /dev/dsp（后面是 ALSA 实现的声音的处理）。ALSA 的用户库呈现给用户的就是 libasound2 了，如 wesnoth 游戏就是使用的这个库，

$ ldd /usr/games/wesnoth
...
	libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0xb7547000)
...

ALSA 的用户库应该说是一种挺不错的选择了，不少程序就是依赖于 ALSA。不过 ALSA 的库功能似乎是不够“强大”的。所谓的强大总是相对的，比如我们无法对每个使用声音的程序单独控制音量，这个的意思就是说有的程序能提供单独的音量控制，控制输出到 ALSA 的音量大小，那挺好，比如 audacious 放音乐，偶尔需要把音量降低，因为 skype 拨过来一个电话；可是很多程序的音量控制其实是更改 ALSA 的混音器，如 master、pcm 的音量，这就会导致其他程序的音量同时减小。另外 ALSA 也没有考虑声音来自于其他设备，比如我希望程序运行在一台电脑上，其图像、声音呈现在本地另一台电脑上；又或者一些 PDA 设备通过蓝牙连接到 PC，声音可以通过 PC 播放这种需要。

正是这个原因，GNOME、KDE 都有自己的声音系统。据说 GNOME 的设计更加清晰，有 gstream 和 ESD 两个层，前者负责解码（如 mp3、ogg），这样将播放器的很大一部分工作解决掉了，播放器只需要关注怎么设计和用户交互的部分，然后通过 gstream 完成解码获得声音的原始数据，然后发给对应的 ESD。ESD 本身是 enlightened sound daemon，功能上似乎只是允许做到网络声音，代码也是比较老了，pulseaudio 就是为了替代 ESD 而实现的。现在 skype 2.1、GNOME 已经转到了 pulseaudio 上了。

这样 pulseaudio 的出现导致的最常见的问题就是因为 ALSA 的存在，很多程序仅仅支持 ALSA，这样就没有办法通过 pulseaudio 的方式控制这些程序的音量。好在 ALSA 提供了一种扩展的方案。在 libasound 里面有一个关于其配置的说明，这一般都是需要编写一个 /etc/asound.conf 或者 ~/.asoundrc，这个文件定义了 ALSA 里面在 alsamixer 里面看到的那些设备，这部分说明参看 /usr/share/doc/libasound2/examples/asoundrc.txt.gz。ALSA 其实没有这个配置文件也能很好的工作，这个文件存在的目的就是为了更灵活的添加一些虚拟设备，实现 routing、rate conversion，对某些设备进行预、后处理。下面的 code 定义了 pulseaudio 并将其作为缺省的设备进行播放，

pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}

pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

注意 pcm 定义的就是一个 ALSA 里面的虚拟设备，使用 type pulse 就是使用了 pulseaudio 的插件（见 libasound2-plugins 里面的 /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so），ctl 是为对应的设备制定一个用户级别的库（libasound2 里面的进行处理）。这样默认的 ALSA 播放设备就不是类似

pcm.default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "hw:0"
}

ctl.default {
  type hw
  card 0
}

如果我们插了一个 USB 的声音设备上去，可以在 /proc/asound/cards 中找到对应的编号，然后学这个修改一下就能把默认的设备变换成为插上去的 USB audio，更详细的可以参考这里。鉴于 mm 的新耳机是这样的，要听听她的实验结果啦。

After I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, I experienced some trouble with playing sound using Spotify under Wine. The sound stuttered and even disappeared. Spotify reported that it had trouble with the soundcard.

After some searching, I found a solution that worked, for me at least…

* Change Wine config to use Alsa driver.

* Uninstall pulseaudio :
#sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio

If pulseaudio is still running, kill it off – or restart your machine. This corrected my trouble with playing music on my machine – hope it might help you as well…

[Edit] It might be useful to know that the pulseaudio volume control toolbar-applet will disappear when doing this. I’ve installed the ALSA mixer instead and that works okay for me.

Jak zmusić pulseaudio do nie ruszania ustawień PCM:

W /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths w pliku analog-output.conf.common zmienić

[Element PCM]
switch = on
volume = ignore


Przesiadka z jednego systemu już opisałem we wcześniejszych postach.
Co może nie działać tak jak ma działać.

Ale tak naprawdę, zmiany systemu z jednego na drugi można skopiować z mojego poradnika dla przejścia z 8.10 na 9.04, co było koszmarem. Obecnie już posiadam paczki z lucid i mój system w najbliższej przyszłości stanie się w pełni pół na pół karmic/lucid a za kilka dni, lub może tygodni w pełni lucid

Na co warto uważać z przechodzeniu z 9.04 na 9.10.
– xorg
zawsze są z tym problemy
– jądro
stare jądro a nowe to nie to samo…
– paczki powodujące konflikt z całym systemem… co może dziwić, ale może się jakaś taka pojawić.
Nie wiem czy są takie, ale może się zdarzyć taki miszmasz.
– stare ustawienia nie kompatybilne do nowych paczek.
Problemy…

Błędy Canonical to upychanie w cd rzeczy, które nie są potrzebne. I tu jest problem, bo później się okazuje że sterowniki, dodatkowe paczki od społeczności nie są dostosowane do komponentów systemu.
np. sterowniki do nVidia i problem z jądrem systemu lub pulseaudio.

Obecnie Pulseaudio musi być w systemie, inaczej jak to u mnie się stało, programy do filmów odmówiły mi posłuszeństwa choć w ustawieniach było ustawione alsa.
Takie działanie ma wymusić, nie kasowanie wybranych komponentów, ale powiedzmy sobie szczerze, TWÓRCY UBUNTU NIE ROBIĄ NIC, ABY USPRAWNIĆ DZIAŁANIE CZEGOKOLWIEK, co nie można powiedzieć o twórcach fedory, czy opensuse.

En mi caso ocurre con PulseAudio en una tarjeta de audio Intel, pero también con tarjetas de sonido Nvidia y diferentes distribuciones como ubuntu o Fedora. Al parecer el POP ocurre en las conexiones/desconexiones de la tarjeta de sonido debido al sistema de ahorro de energía.
La solución pasa por desactivar el apagado automático de la tajeta de audio, editando el archivo /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf cambiando power_save=10 a 0:

$ sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

# options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N
options snd-hda-intel power_save=0

No major niggles or problems after upgrading to 9.10 – in fact I’m running out of superlatives to describe Karmic. My wife has long since given up listening to me extol some new-found virtue of this distribution. As I launched into an enthusiastic lecture on the new-look UI with smaller icons and beautifully anti-aliased fonts, the pitying look of incomprehension that crept unbidden across her face spoke volumes.

Anyway, one thing that did stop working for me after the upgrade was Skype. This isn’t generally a problem, I don’t use Skype all that much, but this week I needed to use it for an important video call at work. Whilst Skype loaded fine, none of the sound devices seemed to work, and the test call was quieter than my wife’s reaction to Karmic’s faster shutdown speed. I had “pulse” listed as my default audio device, which seemed to be correct, but nothing was happening. I also tried “Intel hw:0,1″ and “Intel hw:0,3″, but still no joy.

Although I was using the latest version, I decided to uninstall Skype using the Synaptic Package Manager. I marked each Skype package for Complete Removal, which would remove any configuration files and user data.

I then reinstalled Skype from this link (or if you have Ubuntu 64bit, then this link). Just download the package, and then open it for installation. Things were better from the outset, because at least this time Skype made a noise on loading. When I checked the options, I could see that the sound devices were now referred to differently “PulseAudio server (local)” rather than the multitude of options I had previously.

I found it best to uncheck the box that says Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels, and then to set the microphone volume through the System -> Preferences -> Sound applet. If I allowed Skype to adjust the sound automatically, then I could hear people perfectly, but they couldn’t hear me – it practically turned off my microphone.

Then, all that was left to do was to add Skype to start automatically, which is easy:

• Go to Options in Skype and choose General
• Check the Start Skype minimised in the system tray box
• Go to the System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications applet
• Click Add and enter the following details:
  • Name: Skype
  • Command: skype
• Click Add and then Close. Now Skype will start automatically when you reboot.

It seems that Ubuntu 9.10 is more dependent on PulseAudio than previous releases, and I’ve read a lot of blogs indicating that this may not be a good thing. I’m going to do more research before I give an opinion, but suffice to say that the above procedure fixed my Skype audio problem.

Audio options in Skype

Hace varios meses que os explicaba cómo instalar Spotify en ubuntu mediante wine, y cómo ejecutar los enlaces de Spotify desde Firefox. Tras instalar la última versión de ubuntu (9.10), es posible que hayas encontrado algún problema con la reproducción de música… pareciendo que se queda parada la canción a los pocos segundos de empezar. Todo esto es por el cambio en el gestor de sonido que ahora viene en ubuntu (que deja de ser ALSA y pasa a ser PulseAudio) y la configuración por defecto de wine. Pero no es para alarmarse, con un simple cambio en las propiedades de ejecución todo se resuelve.

……..

Accedemos a la configuración mediante Aplicaciones > Wine > Configure Wine

Deseleccionamos el Manejador ALSA y seleccionamos el Manejador EsounD. Aceptamos y listo; a disfrutar de Spotify.

För ett tag sedan skrev jag om hur jag fixade PulseAudio. Nu har jag läst om ett program som kan vara bra att ha med Pulse Audio. Det heter Earcandy. Det är ett program som ska göra det enklare att växla mellan olika program som kör ljud/musik. Jag läste om det i Datormagazin 11/2009. Men där finns en liten men viktig detalj inte med. Så här fick jag det att funka.

Jag har testat det här på Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope under den sista veckan innan nästa version av Ubuntu kom.

Installation

Jag kommer att visa hur man gör för att installera i terminalen, men det går lika bra att göra det med grafiska verktyg.

1. Öppna en terminal genom att gå till menyn Program – Tillbehör – Terminal.
2. Vi börjar med att importera en nyckel genom att på en rad skriva följande.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
--recv-keys 6E73CA45

3. Nu ska vi lägga till förrådet för Earcandy i vår Sources.list.

gksudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

4. Längst ner lägger man till följande rader.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/flimm/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/flimm/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

5. Uppdatera paketlistorna.

sudo apt-get update

6. Installera Earcandy

sudo apt-get install earcandy

7. Efter installationen hittade jag programmet under meny Program – Tillbehör – Earcandy.

En bugg

I den version som fanns när jag laddade ner programmet, finns det en bugg. För om man nu försöker starta Earcandy så kommer man inte att lyckas. Problemet är att programstartaren söker programmet på fel plats. Man måste alltså ändra på det innan man kommer igång.

1. Så högerklicka på Program och välj Redigerar menyer.
2. Välj Tillbehör.
3. Markera Ear Candy i listan till höger och klicka på Egenskaper.
4. I fältet för kommando skriver man: /usr/bin/ear_candy.
5. Klicka på Stäng och Stäng igen.
6. Starta nu programmet från menyn Program – Tillbehör – Earcandy.

Efter att ha gjort den här ändringen gick det att starta programmet. Då dök ikonen, som kanske ska föreställa ett öra, upp till höger i den övre menyn.

Använda

För att använda programmet behöver du inte göra någonting. Du kommer att märka effekten om du kör lite musik i din musikspelare och sedan öppnar en film i t ex YouTube. Då kommer musiken från musikspelaren att tona ner och ligga mycket lågt i bakgrunden. Stänger du sedan ner YouTube, då kommer musiken tillbaka igen.

PulseAudioについて、日本語の解説を見つけられなかったので自分なりにまとめてみた。

PulseAudioの設定 – Fedora備忘録

正直最後の方は投げやり…。そんなに細かく設定する人もそう多くはないと思うので、必要十分だとは思ってるんですが…。ま、PulseAudioの本家サイトに詳しく書いてるんですけれどね。daemon.confについては本家では触れられていないので、多少は参考になるかも。中身についてはファイルを見れば分かるでしょう。

あとは/etc/pulse/以下のファイルは$HOME/.pulse/以下にもってきてカスタムしたらいいってのも書いてない情報かな？　まぁLinux触って長い人にとっては常識レベルではあるんですが。

サウンドはLinuxにとってまだまだ問題の頻出するところですし、PulseAudioのことも知っておいて損はないかと。ぶっちゃけALSAのdmixでよかったじゃんとも思わなくもないけどさw

Собственно некоторое время пожил просто на alsa а теперь вот вернулся обратно на pulseaudio. Все работало без проблем за исключением одной ерунды в логи непрерывно валилось

Решение оказалось банальным в файле /etc/pulse/default.pa надо было закомментировать строчку

### Load several protocols
.ifexists module-esound-protocol-unix.so
#load-module module-esound-protocol-unix
.endif
load-module module-native-protocol-unix

PulseAudio (antiguamente PolypAudio) es un servidor de sonido multiplataforma, capaz de funcionar por red, licenciado bajo los terminos de GNU LGPL (para las librerías de software) y GNU GPL (para el servidor de sonido en sí), PulseAudio es software libre.

Funciona bajo sistemas compatibles con POSIX como Linux y otros sistemas operativos como Microsoft Windows. Se pretende que sea un reemplazo para el servidor Enlightened Sound Daemon.

El mismo es un Excelente proyecto, el cual en su versión mas reciente (0.9.15) soluciona gran parte de los problemas que se presentaron en las versiones anteriores, yo, por lo menos reemplace completamente a ALSA por el.

La forma de instalarlo en Archlinux es bastante sencilla, bastara con abrir una consola y ejecutar un:

# pacman -S pulseaudio

Adicionalmente, podemos instalar los siguientes componentes “opcionales”

# pacman -S padevchooser paman paprefs pavucontrol pavumeter

Las versiones actuales de GNOME soportan de manera nativa el proyecto ESD (que por cierto… esta muerto) asi que podremos utilizar PulseAudio en lugar de este:

# ln -sf /usr/bin/esdcompat /usr/bin/esd

Ahora tenemos a Gnome corriendo automáticamente PulseAudio en cada inicio de sesion, pero todavia tenemos algunos problemas que solventar:

Por defecto PulseAudio corre en un socket diferente (/tmp/.esd-xxx), necesitaremos hacer que PulseAudio corra en el socket en el que la mayoria de apps de gnome buscan a ESD, para hacer esto, modificaremos el archivo (/etc/pulse/system.pa), alli buscamos la linea “load-module module-esound-protocol-unix” y la modificaremos dejandola asi:

load-module module-esound-protocol-unix socket=/tmp/.esd/socket

Ahora agregaremos el demonio de PulseAudio al arranque del sistema, editanto el archivo /etc/rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network netfs crond fam hal avahi-daemon pulseaudio)

configuramos ALSA para dar soporte a PulseAudio, editando y/o creando el archivo /etc/asound.conf de la siguiente manera:

pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}

Por ultimo nos aseguramos que la siguiente linea este presente en el archivo /etc/pulse/system.pa:

load-module module-hal-detect

Lo ultimo que falta por hacer, es configurar Gstreammer para que use PulseAudio:

# pacman -S gstreamer0.10-pulse

Finalmente configuraremos el sistema para que utilice PulseAudio por defecto:

$ gconftool-2 -t string –set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink pulsesink
$ gconftool-2 -t string –set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc

Download Skype for Linux
β版という扱いのようですが、インストールして見たところ全く問題なく使えました。

いやぁ、これでSkypeが安心して使えますね！ β版だからか、yumの更新に引っかかってきませんでしたが、普通にアップグレードでインストールできます。Fedoraユーザはぜひ試してみてはいかがでしょう？

I was using xmms as the music player in my ubuntu 8.04 box. Recently I heard about a plugin in audacious using which we make the now running song as the pidgin user status/comment. So I switched to it. But when I tried to play any audio files with it, it doesn’t play.

After running audacious in terminal, I got these messages.

After seeing the XMMS, in the output, I thought it is due to the presence of the old XMMS in the system. So i uninstalled it. Still the problem persists…..

I googled the complaint and at last I understood the problem is due to the missing of pulseaudio. Audacious generally uses pulseaudio as the default audio device.

It is very simple to cover this problem.

• Open audacious.
• Press Ctrl+p to open the preference window.
• Move to the audio tab.
• Change the Current Output plugin from PulseAudio Output Plugin to ALSA Output Plugin.
• Close the preference window.

Now onwards audacious will play without any errors.
