Problems with sound (pulse audio) configuration

My sound system is somehow not working properly. Only one playback at a time is working. Either flash player, a media player, a game. But never both at the same time. I want to use Cinnamon + Pulse Audio. I don't know what I need to install to get it working (pulseaudio, also, oss, ....) I assume the problem is that I installed several sound systems at the same time.
Could you be so nice and help me to determine and fix the problem? I have no clue where to start. I read the appropriate Wiki articles but I'm not sure what exactly I need to do. All I want is a working and autostarting/respawning pulse audio ...
Thank you in advance!

  • Problems with sound drivers - audio device on high definition audio bus

    i turned on my computer one day and the sound was gone. no "speaker" icon in the lower right-hand corner of the screen; no choices available via the "control panel: sounds and audio devices" icon. when i went to device manager, i saw "audio device on high definition audio bus" had a yellow exclamation mark. i saw some sites suggested downloading the realtek high definition audio, but that didn't seem to work -- and now i don't see the audio device on high definition audio line either.
    any ideas? from what i've read, i gather this is a somewhat common problem but no solid way to fix this. i know something similar has happened to me a year ago but i was able to fix it somehow.
    Solved!

    Hello,
    Have you tried installing the latest audio device drivers for your ThinkPad?  If so, did that solve the problem?

  • My sound is like echo and i can't solve the problem with realtek hd audio manager

    HP G72 notebook
    Windows 7 64 bit
    Sound is like echo and can't solve problem with Realtek HD audio manager

    It's a Qosmio X300-16M (windows 7 64bit)
    I downloaded the last toshiba's sound driver (for win 7 64bit), but it's as if it doesn't contain MaxxAudio anymore... (but the file maxxaudio.dll is still in realtek directory)
    It worked correctly after Windows 7 update, (that's why I tried to reinstall the audio drivers which were in the DVD... but it does not have resolved the problem.)
    And all my system restore's points have been lost after a wrong bios update or something else (but this isn't a problem anymore)
    Now, my computer works correctly, my only problem is that the MaxxAudio tab (from Waves Audio) in the realtek audio manager disappeared... (It just makes a better sound...)
    And I just want to know if it's a curent problem or not... and if someone can fix it

  • Problems with sound only on video not audio files

    Hello
    My first post here. I am having some problems with sound on video files. It is almost no sound, and the sound that is there is only crackling noise. I have the Creative X-treme audio soundcard and have installed the Vista codec pack and the K-lite codec pack. I have also updated the soundcard driver. The thing is that these problems only occure on video files, not on audio files such as mp3's. Can anyone help me?

    About alsa dmix, and for the record:
    On an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E7500  @ 2.93GHz, the following are my finding about
    quality/cpu when mixing two streams at 44khz:
    a snippet from my .asoundrc
    #converter "samplerate_best" # perfect: 16%cpu, maybe overkill
    #converter "samplerate_medium" # almost perfect: 6%cpu
    #converter "samplerate" # good: 4%cpu, definitely usable
    #converter "samplerate_linear" # bad: 2%cpu, way better than default wine resampler
    #converter "samplerate_order" # very bad: 2%cpu, like the default wine resampler
    Here is the reference topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=942724
    I may be wrong, but in an opensource world (code reusing), i really doubt pulseaudio could lead to better quality/cpuuse tradeoff.
    Pulseaudio, being just another layer atop of alsa, could only lead to higher cpu usage.

  • [SOLVED]Problem with sound in HDMI

    Hello good society of Arch
    Now I have problems with sound from HDMI. I use Arch as an tvPc, wasting movies and tv shows on it. I use ALSA and it works well, except of a few files that I have, then there is picture but sound is either twisted or not played at all. It does not matter whether I use vlc or mplayer, I'm experiencing the same problem.
    I have not found anything about this with google, other problems have been either hdmi sound working or not, not like it is with me, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
    I know that the files are ok, I can play them in anther pc I have (also using Arch on that pc).
    Does anybody know what the problem might be? What do I have to look at to find out what the problem is? This have been like this for some time now, but I haven't looked into it before, because I don't use TV that muts, but the wife does and when she stats blaming Arch, I have too do something about it.
    I have never encountered problem with Arch that i cant solve by using this forum and google
    Thanks

    I will look at this when i come home from work, thanks.

    Since i update with 10.4.9, I observe some problems with sound that I don't observe with 10.4.7 on an old partition:
    1. no more sound when opening excel file with office
    2. no more sound with files .rm opened with realplayer
    3. no more sound with files .wmv opened with lecteur windows media player.
    Ths files are opened normally with 10.4.7 that I conserved on an other partition.

  • HT1657 I am having problems with sound in my rental movies

    We rent movies all the time but lately we are having problems with sound for our movie rentals.  We watch the first half hour without a problem than the voice is choppy all the time.  Sometimes it is good for five minutes than noting for a while.  We  have tried everything we could think of with no avail.  I could see one movie but the last 5 or so have been the same.  Done trying we need to fix this!  Help!  Any ideas?

    First try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If you still have the same issue, it's possible that something is lodged in the earphone jack. This can cause the iPad to think earphones are plugged in when they are not. Use a vacuum to try to suck any dust, lint or other foreign matter from the jack. If that still doesn't work, try CAREULLY using a toothpick.

    Try A and B
    (A) Restart iPad
    1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
    3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Problem with sound in games requiring quicktime

    I recently purchased CSI 1. I installed the game and the latest version of quicktime player. As soon as the game starts and the first character starts talking the game pauses as if loading and then plays for a second and pauses again for a few seconds. This intermittent sound problem makes it impossible to play the game as the freezing stops everything from functioning. I tried another game that requires quicktime to be installed and that game is pausing the same. Has anyone else had this problem? I have all the latest drivers installed for Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Do you get any problems with sound in other (older) games? You didn't mention which drivers in particular you updated, but make sure the graphics card's ones are included.

  • Problem with sound in games

    Hi all welcome as you can see I'm new to your forum. So I have a problem as it concerns the sound in games.
    Namely, I bought a Creative Headset HS-800 Fatality everything good in listening to music, etc.
    But when I go to the game, I turned the sound (someone shoots to the left I hear him right, and vice versa.)
    Yes, in all games but mostly it is felt such a battlefiel or call of duty.
    At first I thought that this is the fault of my sound card but it's not because I was in a mate and in him was the same ... This recently replaced the computer and the same thing.
    I came across the net to reverse the channels, but unfortunately I do not know how to set it up.
    Here, the data on my computer:
    Sound Card Speakers (Realtek High Definitie
    Sound Card Realtek Digital Output (Realtek
    Sound Card Realtek Digital Output (RCA) (Re
    Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
    I would add that in tests Realtek win7 and everything is fine.
    Regards and please help as soon as possible.

    Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
    You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
    If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
    There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

  • Problem with sound after update

    Hello
    After update to 11.3 I have no bass sound in subwoofer in Firefox browser (youtube). I uninstall the newest version and install previous (11.2) and bass plays ok.
    My os: Windows 7 x64. Sound card Creative X-fi.

    Hello!
    My problem is summed up in this topic.
    Updated Flash Player with 11.3 this morning (june 12th 2012) and since then my 7.1 Sound System works only 2.1. If i enable EAX Effects, works on 7.1 but since it`s just a room it sounds very odd.
    I have no problem with sound on HTML 5 websites for that matter, Winamp, Video Players, games.
    Uninstalled Flash Player, sounds work ok without it on different browsers, other than Chrome (since it has FP built in).
    I hope for a sollution soon.
    Thank you.
    *edit*
    Untill there is a permanent solution, i found a way to deal with my issue and i hope it will help others.
    I personally use Chrome and this is for this browser:
    1. Type "about:plugins" w/o the quotation in the navigation bar.
    2. On the upper right u will see "Details" click it then find the word "flash", and you will see something like this:
    Flash (3 files) - Version: 11,3,300,257
    Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
    Name: Shockwave Flash
    Description: Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
    Version: 11,3,300,257
    3. I say again, this worked for me on Chrome. The 3 files i have, two of them are Version 11,3,300,257 and one is 11.2.31.144
    4. Simply disable the lates version 11.3 and enable the previous version 11.2
    I hope this helps.
