Cmus doesn't play .wav files and pulseaudio isn't working properly

The first problem I noticed was that Chromium was using about 90% of my CPU while I wasn't connected to the internet. So I deleted Chromium because I couldn't fix the problem any other way. After deleting Chromium the CPU problem was fixed but after checking htop again I noticed this message with -11 being in red:
(http://pastie.org/4234521)
I started using cmus and noticed that .wav files aren't playing anymore but I am not sure if that has anything to do with this issue. Cmus played .wav files just fine when I had Chromium however. Also, RAM is steadily increasing at about 700 MB which never happened before. I think maybe the problem with cmus and the RAM increase could be caused by pulseaudio not working properly?
Also, when I run "pulseaudio" in the terminal I get this message in red:
$ pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.

I have stopped using cmus and I am currently using moc(Music On Console). I found out that for some reason pulseaudio is taking up alot of RAM.
Here is a picture of what is going on in htop:

  • Pure Music software player is not working with iTunes 10.4 and Lion 10.7 playing wav. files.

    Pure Music player from Channel D software will not work when playing wav. files after updating to Lion OS. I can open the application as usual but after playing one song it will not advance to the next track either on its own or manually. The scrolling track name goes dim and I cannot get the play button to respond. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Thanks Limnos, but unfortunately the same error still remains.
    The disk was OK.  Permissions had errors along the lines of groups should be 0, is 80.  I repaired that.  Tried again to open, then reinstalled (new download again), but again the same problem.
    I checked permissions again and some of the 0-80 errors came again, but no clear reason from there I think
    Was also a SUID warning on ARDAgent but I see online that doesn't appear to be something abnormal.
    I tried reloading Lion but the installation came back with software appears to have been tampered with (I think the dmg file is gone as I couldn't find it).  I then went to email to report a problem so I could download again but of course that whole process doesn't work because itunes wont open.

  • What's the wave's number of iPhone 4S speakers? I need to know what's the number because my phone doesn't play any sounds, and I kind of knew what's the problem and sulotion!

    What's the wave's number of iPhone 4S speakers? I need to know what's the number because my phone doesn't play any sounds, and I kind of knew what's the problem and solution!
    What I mean by wave is like radio channels' waves! Ex. 104.1

    Your statement makes no sense.
    Have you tried basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide to rule out some setting in the device preventing the speaker from working?
    Is the mute switch on?
    Do other sounds work?
    Does it produce sound with headphones plugged in?

  • Blackberry 8330 - can't play wav files - Red X and "unknown error occured"

    I have a client that started having an issue with her blackberry after we moved to BES Express 5.02.  Her .wav file association on her computer was changed so she couldn't play .wav files on her PC.  Then she stated getting a red X on her phone when trying to listen to the Cisco unity voice mail messages that are attached to emails.   
    I was able to correct the issue on her PC by re-associating the .wav file with windows media player.   However on the blackberry, the .wav file still will not play.  Is there a file association section on a blackberry device?  If not what else might be the issue?   she is the only person having the issue.  I don't use a blackberry so i don't know the menu options very well.
    Thanks
    Steve.
    P.S.
    Oh, The phone was factory reset before being added to the new BES, Service books and IT policy Applied correctly.   I could pull the phoen and reset it again but I don't know if that would correct the issue. 

    Hi - I am now having this same exact problem on my Mac laptop.   I have many Breaking Bad, etc TV shows that I purchased through itunes & have watched over the years & now all of those, as well as, any new shows I purchase will not play on my laptop.    Just same as above person -- a black screen that appears to be playing movie (the timer is actually playing)  but no video or sound.    Shows / Movies all work fine on my home computer.  
    On my laptop it keeps saying .. "Not authorized to play .... & then says  "Sign into Itunes.. "   - but I  do sign out & sign  back in & still nothing happens.   Very annoying and frustrating as I  can ususlly figure things out with perserverence and trial & error. 

  • ITunes doesn't play wavs made on PC

    I have backed up a number of PC files on a DVD and tried to put them on my iPod shuffle, using iTunes on my MacPro, when I realized that iTunes doesn't play them, so I can't put them on the shuffle. However, those wav files play alright in Quicktime on my Mac. Why not also on iTunes? Is there something that I have to enable, or some sort of conversion that I must do?
    The files seem to load in the playlist, then they show in both the playlist and the Music folder. The files seem to be there, for when I Ctrl+click > Get info, within iTunes, it shows their size, sample rate, etc. It's just that they won't play.
    Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

    Yes, I have played almost endless numbers of WAVs in iTunes. These files have been created with foobar2000, PlexTools Professional, and EAC for the most part.
    My PC is switched off right now so I can't play with NMP WAV files and iTunes, but I still think that if you simply use another program to reconvert the problematic files to WAV format again (a lossless process) with known good settings, the files will likely play in iTunes.
    Also, it may be that NMP has created "floating point" vs. "fixed point" WAVs, and that would cause problems with iTunes.

  • Play wav file on PDA using JMF

    Hi all,
    I need to play wav files on a PDA so I installed J9 on the PDA and downloaded either JMF crossplatform and JMF for windows (version jmf 2.1.1.e for both of them).
    I included in the classpath the jmf.jar from JMF crossplatform and sound.jar from JMF for windows (the JMF crossplatform doesn't have the sound.jar and jmf.jar requires some classes contained in it).
    When I run my testing application I have such an error:
    Unable to handle format: LINEAR, 8000.0 Hz, 8-bit, Mono, Unsigned, 8000.0 frame rate, Framesize=8 bits
    Failed to prefetch: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@287a287a
    Error: Unable to prefetch com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@287a287a
    I have the same error playing wav files with different features (8 or 16KHz, 8 or 16 bits ).
    Can anyone help me?
    Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks in advance!

    not really I have seen it. The only buyable version left is IBM j9. All the rest basically are sold to handset manufacturers.
    Its hectic out there. I still cant play audio on J9 to build a simple tourist guide!!!!
    javajoom is for wtk21 - hello its 2007.
    Oh well lets toss pda's out of the window along with Microsoft's OS and use smart phone OS - or should I toss J2me and start on C# to be on the safe side???
    Has anyone an answer?

  • Error Playing .wav file on RHEL 4 using JMF

    Hi,
    We are using jmf api to play wav files on our application deployed on rhel version 4. But we are receiving the following error
    **"Cannot find a Processor for: myfolder/myAudio.wav" --->
    this exception is comming from javax.media.Manager
    throw new NoProcessorException("Cannot find a Processor for: " + source);"**.
    Any ideas what could be issue with this, am I missing some drivers/processor for wav files? I did a default jmf studio installation.
    Thanks and Regards
    Vikram Pancholi
    Edited by: vpancholi on Sep 8, 2009 8:51 AM

    If we take a look at the supported formats page...
    [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html]
    And the WAV file is supported by the cross-platform pack, AKA, jmf.jar.
    If you're unable to open a WAV file, I'd say it's most likely because you don't have JMF.jar on your library path. You can fix that at runtime with the switch -djava.library.path=<whatever>
    That's what I would say the issue is.

  • Play WAV files into the .jar

    Hello,
    I'm doing small application Java with Netbeans.
    I need is to play .wav file sounds are incorporated into the jar.
    I do not want to use external libraries or external sound files, etc.. I want to go with my .JAR to the office, home, etc ... just need the JAR to hear the sounds.
    I've created a folder "Sounds" in "src" and in that place I have my sounds. (Project / src / sounds). It's a way to incorporate a JAR file, or am I wrong?? Run independently of the sound files.
    At the time of reproducing the sound I do the following:
    Clip sonido = AudioSystem.getClip();
    File f = new File(getClass().getResource(/Sonidos/alarma.wav).toURI());
    sonido.open(AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(f));
    sonido.start();
    If I run the program with netbeans, I play sounds, but which only transfer my .JAR to another computer, does not play ...
    Any ideas?
    Thank's.

    I don't understand, before I had done as you have written me, but did not work, but now it works.
    Problem solved. Thank's.
    Posting the code here:
    InputStream path = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/Sonidos/alarma.wav");
    try
    sonido = AudioSystem.getClip();
    sonido.open(AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(path));
    sonido.start();
    }catch(Exception fail)
    System.out.println(fail);

  • Creative MuVo N2000 doesn't play MP3 files anymore?! HE

    Hi everyone,
    I hope someone can help me out. Here's the problem.
    My MuVo N200 player doesn't play mp3 files anymore.. there's only a strange noise comming from the player if i attempt to play mp3's...he only plays the wma files?! I gave my player to my flatmate so she could here music on her vacation to the US, and that's when the problem started. I never had this problem before, and i wonder if she acidently pushed a buttom she shouldn't. I can't figure out how to fix it. Anyone has a clue what has happend, or if the player is "lost" :-( ?! PS: The player is brand new.
    Help is appriciated
    Thx Lizzy ;-)Message Edited by lizzard on 08-23-2005 03:45 AM

    Unfortunately, NONE of my friends use Windows anymore , even at work we use Linux for security reasons. So what am i supposed to do now... They have a link at Creative that makes you belei've that they support Linux and offer you the possibility to choose the operating system, in other words=Linux. When i told in a mail to Creative Norway that they offer Linux support at their download-site, they actualy had the nerve to tell me that they don't do that!! I told them to remove the choice if they don't offer it, and don't try to tell people that they are eighter blind or stupid, and i pasted the Link + added a Screenshot of the page into the mail!! I realy got upset. It is the last time i by something from Creative. My first player from Creative lasted exactly 2 weeks, after that he stopped working for one odd reason, so i paid a little more in order to get a better one in exchange, and that device didn't li've longer than month eighter?
    Not exactly QUALITY we are talking about..aren't we?
    What to do, what to do?
    Anyone has a clue?

    n solutions about this.

    Hello.
    Only Series 60,80 and 90 phones running Symbian operating system are capable of playing WAV files. From what I know, Series 40 phones do not display this ability and will not be supported still in future revisions of the said platform.
    Cheers.

  • How do you make itunes not play wav files?

    I know how to make it play wav files but how do I remove it from the default player list? I want them to all play in Quicktime. I have done the right click, holt alt and press Always Open With... and also done the right click and specify it to open in Quicktime. I have done this on 3 different Macs with 2 different OSX versions. It will open in Quicktime that one time but then the next time I open a wav file it goes back to Quicktime.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    It will open in Quicktime that one time but then the next time I open a wav file it goes back to Quicktime.
    Do you mean, "goes back to iTunes"?  "A wav file," or the same wav file you just changed?
    Did you select the additional option in Get Info's Open With window to, "Change all of this kind to open with Quicktime"?

  • Can my muvo tx fm play WAV fil

    my question is my problem and if it can what ccan i be doing wrong? plz im trying to get a song i really like but it wont show up on my mp3

    well...i used to have an MuVo TX FM, and i know everything about it !! but now it's broken.
    Anyway, it can play mp3, wma and wav files encoded only in a unique way !
    but i don't think it can play wav files except in the recordings folder, but i don't really encourage that you play wav files in it !
    you can convert wav to mp3 by any converter you get, or download, but for faster conversion use the creative mediasource, it's in any cd you get with any creative mp3 player !!!!
    tell me if it works.
    cheer to all !!!!
