Help me setting up sound... please? [SOLVED]

Hello there. First of all I want to say that Arch Linux is awesome. I've been using it for some time now and can do most of the things I'd like to do - except for setting up sound. In fact, I have no idea of how to accomplish this. Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction? I've tried searching the forums and using the wiki, but I've yet to be able to do anything useful. Or anything at all. Also, I don't know what sound card I've got at the moment, so I'm not even sure it'll work, so any instructions on how to find this out would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you read this?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA
That should lead you in the right direction.
The gist of it is:
# pacman -Sy alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-oss
# alsaconf
# gpasswd -a USERNAME audio
# alsactl store
---add alsa to your rc.conf file under daemons
That should work.. =]

    LinkedList<Rectangle> rects = new LinkedList<Rectangle>();rects is an empty LinkedList at this point. It has no elements added to it.
    rects.set(1,myrectangle);So you can't set the item at index 1 (the 2nd element in the list) because it doesn't even exist. You need to add items to it.

  • Help to set airport extreme please.

    despite having used the utility helpers I cant seem to get my aiport to work... its connected to a D-link which is connected to my modem (from the provider)... my macbook detects the airport but doesnt seem to want to connect to internet. Where do i insert the provider user name & password ? My macbook works perfectly with the ethernet. I'm really not talented with this technology and dont understand what IP addresses etc are...; I just want the thing to work ! Are there any wise people out there that feel like helping me or directing me to a link for Airport fools !

    Where do i insert the provider user name & password ?
    This is generally not needed for a broadband connection. What kind of service are you subscribing to? DSL? cable modem? dial-up?

  • Can someone help me set up Hotmail on the e72

    hi everyone
    i recently bought a new nokia e72, online, from Virgin Australia
    and i cant set up the email on it.. ive taken it to the virgin shop and they told me it was a nokia problem
    When i begin the email setup wizard it connects through the packet data - not wireless and it asks me to begin the wizard- i click start
    it then opens a list of different email carriers and i select 'hotmail'
    i then enter my email address and password and it says 'detecting email settings' and then has no message of confirmation and returns to the list of email carriers.
    ive tried setting it up so many times and it hasnt worked at all. 
    can anyone help me set this up please
    thanks guys
    btw. my email address has the '.com.au' end - would this affect anything??

    the e72 is forcing the use of the nokia messaging which has been in the crapper for months now.
    in order to bypass it and use the integrated symbian email client, do not select the hotmail, select "other" and enter the email information. when you get to the TOS (terms of service), tap skip/no/cancel in order to NOT use the Nokia Messaging. then just use your standard settings for hotmail for your inbound and outbound ports.

    And if you didn't set up Find My iPhone, or it's not appearing in the Find My iPhone section of iCloud.com, then there's no way you can wipe the iPhone remotely. If, however, you set up a screenlock password, then someone would need to restore the iPhone to get past the passcode which will erase everything on the iPhone, and if you set the option to erase the iPhone after ten failed attempts at the passcode, your data is even more inaccessible.
    By the way, please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

  • I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

    I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. The mobile carrier signal as well as WIFI suddenly drops zero and are then restored automatically. Sometimes i cannot conenct to WIFI even standing infront of WIFI router. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

    Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
    1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
    2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
    3. Do a soft and hard reset.
    4. Reset network settings.
    5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
    6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
    I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

    Are you using a Microsoft or Apache web server? If so, you can submit to a server-side script, which will bypass web mail and client-side email software such as OUTLOOK.

    Is the volume muted? Click on the volume icon in the system tray to see if it shows as muted. If that's the case, I know of a workaround to fix this because if you unmute the speakers now, the condition will come back when you reboot your computer. I don't know the exact steps off the top of my head at the moment as I'm not in front of my machine. Check this first and reply if muting was the problem and I will detail the steps needed to fix the problem.
