Pulseaudio - user settings and microphone auto adjustment

Hi all,
Few questions if I may - I have search the wiki/forum but couldn't find any answers.
When recording my webcam with ffmpeg along with my webcam microphone the recording level of the microphone is automatically adjusted by pulseaudio (I am assuming there) - it actually adjust the recording level of each channel (right/left)
The question there is how do I stop the automatic adjustment?
The second question is if I could have a user specific settings for pulseaudio that will automatically load when the user (on the same machine) log in?
Many thanks for your time, looking forward for your replies.

First problem happens for me too Any idea why?

    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.  Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

  • HT4889 what is included when you migrate users, settings and other files?

    When you use the Migration Assistant, what is included in "users," "settings" and "other files"?

    I think it's offered as an option at some point during the installation. But you can always start the Migration Assistant at any later point (it's located in Applications/Utilities) - that's the same application.
    That's what I did, actually. I did a clean install first and only after everything was up and running did I hook up my old G4 and transferred things over with the help of the Migration Assitant.

  • Microphone auto adjust while using google Hangout,

    Hi,
    While using Google Hangout the micrphone adjust itself, there is an option within Skype to stop it, but couldn't find it in Google Hangout, and it does it also when recording the sound, which lead me to believe it is Als/pulse related.
    Is there any option to disable it?
    Looking forward for your reply,
    Regards,

    Right,
    After searching the web a little bit more - actually quite easy to fine - but I was trying hangout for the first time.
    I found that solution, I haven't tested it yet; so if you do please let us know if it work.
    To turn off the auto adjust:
    cd ~/.config/google-googletalkplugin    # get to google chat's directory
    cp -p options options.bak        # make a backup before changing stuff !
    gedit options                # edit the config file
    now change one of the lines so that it reads as follows:
    audio-flags=1
    Now restart you machine and google chat will no longer auto-adjust!!!
    Remember to go to PulseAudio volume control just to make sure the left channel stays at 0

  • Is it possible to export user settings and import into same environment?

    Hi guys,
    I exported a user profile settings into a file and triedd to import saved file into same environment where I exported, but I am getting following error
    "Login name already in use"
    I followed the same process for restoring groups.Exported groups into a file and imported saved file into same environment, I was successfully restored thr groups.But I am failing to restore the user settings.
    Any help or suggestions on this issue is greately appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Importing into the same environment is not supported.
    Instead, you could create all the test users in production with all the roles and then deactivate the user, so they are not usable.
    After you overwrite the non-production DBs with the production DB, you could then run a script (you will have to create it first) to activate all the users.
    Will this work for you?

  • User settings and mobileme account removed upon user logout/login

    On several occasions my touchpad settings and format settings (system preferences/international) had suddenly changed.(i.e. "tap to click", "drag" and "drag lock" all changed and so does the format from UK to USA). On these occasions I am also thrown out of my mobileme account and my idisk partitioning is removed. No other keychain setting seems to be affected. I wasn't sure what triggers this, and at first I thought it was due to a run down battery, which somehow changed the settings. However, I just noticed, that when logging out of my user account and back in, the settings are suddenly being changed.
    Does anybody have an idea what is going on? This is rather frustrating, having to re-sync my idisk all the time.

    You'll need to copy your /Home/Library folder. Make sure you back up first before doing the following. Log out of both your Work and Play accounts. Log in to a third account with administrator privileges. Assuming you are copying from the account called "work" to the account called "play", enter the following in Terminal:
    sudo rm -rf ~play/Library (this deletes Play's Library folder.)
    sudo cp -R ~work/Library ~play/Library (this copies Work's Library folder to Play's folder.)
    sudo chown -R play ~play/Library (this fixes permissions of Play's new Library folder.)

  • Missing User settings and files after disabling Filevault on Lion

    I just installed OS X Lion on my mac and everything worked fine until I disabled the legacy filevault on my system. When the machine rebooted it had wipped out all my settings and files it would seem. After a bit of searching i found my files in the /Users directory. However the files are placed inside a folder called myusername.fvCopy. If I change any settings in my account like removing apps from the dock and reboot the changes haven't taken effect when it boots back up.
    I have no idea what to do about this.
    Any help is much apprciated.
    Thanks in advance
    /Kristian

    I fixed it by logging in to a different account and deleteting the broken homefolder via the terminal and renaming the myusername.fvCopy to myusername.

  • User Settings and System Settings

    Which settings are stored at the user level and which settings are stored at the system level? I asked Apple support if it was possible to reset all Mavericks settings to default and retain my apps and data. They suggested I create a new user and transfer my personal files over. I expected this to start with all the settings at default, but I've found that the Network and Energy Saver settings remained the same. What other settings are not set to default when a new user is created?
    Also, Apple failed to mention that the new user would have to take ownership of the old user's files. I'm wondering if the command below was the proper way to do so:
    sudo find / -user oldusername -exec chown newusername {};

    All system-level settings are stored in /Lbrary/Preferences/, including the hidden .GlobalPreferences.plist file.
    Can't help with the Unix command, but seriously doubt their advice. Why would you want to create a new user? The normal way to reset user settings is to remove the plist files stored in /username/Library/Preferences/.

    Hi shahchin,
    I think you should check this Toshiba document:
    [How to change the settings for the integrated webcam if the image is very dark or black |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=59]
    Furthermore the microphone is located on near the microphone because its a part of the webcam.
    Regarding the picture quality of webcam you could also try reinstalling the webcam driver from Toshiba website.

  • User settings and reinstall

    Hey all,
    For various reasons I would like to do an archive and install of Leopard. I am currently running Sno-Leapord and wish to downgrade the system. When I run the Leopard installer, my concern, is that the secondary radio button for "Preserving User Setting" is greyed out and I am afraid of losing that info. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Michael

    you can not choose to preserve user setting when downgrading like this but that does not mean your user data will be erased. it will be moved to the previous systems folder along with everything else. you can get it from there by hand after wards. however, Apple strongly discourages downgrade archive and installs like you are contemplating. it may appear to work but you'll have problems afterwards. the best thing to do is to back up your current SL system (a clone or a TM backup) and do an erase and install of leopard. then copy what you need of your user data from the backup.

  • Can't Restore User, Settings, And Files

    Hi.
    I had a user account with a misspelled "full name" and therefore a misspelled home folder name. I followed apple's directions to change these issues here: Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
    When I followed these directions and restarted, I lost everything in that user's file structure - desktop items, home folder items, preferences, etc. I essentially got a completely clean account. So as far as I can tell, these directions are pretty crappy.
    In addition, the setting changes I make to the account won't stay. My adjustments to the icons in the launcher keep disappearing, as do my changes to track pad preferences, etc.
    I have a time machine backup from the night before, but when I try to restore it it will only use a "full backup" from December 5th, which is missing a lot of my work.
    Can anyone suggest how I can restore all my stuff?

    having the exact same problem and am at the same point - can't access my ID. love to hear something helpful

  • Travel & expenses: Remove User settings option

    Hi,
    we have implemented Travel & Expense module in Portal using ABAP web dynpro. We are at EP 7.0 EHp2.
    Navigation : ESS -> Travel & expenses -> My Trips and Expenses
    Here If the User perform Right Click option then he get the option for : " User settings" and if he choose User settings then he further get the option to select the column / tab's to hide or unhide.
    So we want to disable the right click option for the user OR at least remove the option of User Settings from User.

    Hi Vishal,
    as far as I know, the right click cannot be disabled. I have two suggestions:
    1. Modify the WebDynpro Application and add the Parameter WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION = X.
    2. Alternatively (this is what we did) you can call the application WD_GLOBAL_SETTING in SE80 and globally disable all user personalization for all applications. This avoids endusers from calling helpdesk because "fields are gone" etc. pretty well...
    Cheers, Lukas

  • Share Point 2013 - User Settings not initialised

    Hi there, 
    We are using the SharePoint 2013 server on top of Windows 2012.
    We've recently created  user profile application service and activated the Site Feed feature. 
    After that one of our users experiences an annoying thing, she is being redirected from the Home Page to another page that says "Edit user settings" and "User settings not initialized ". No other user is experiencing these issues. Please
    help.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that a spectial user got "Edit User Settings" when visiting a site collection.
    I recommend to
    remove the user from that site collection completly and then re-add him. You can select Site Settings, under "Users and Permissions", click People and groups. Select the group and user to remove it.
    In addition, you need to check the user permission. You can select Site Settings, under "Site permissions", click People and groups. Click Check Permissions, enter the user.

  • User Settings Attributes Search

    Hi,
    In SRM 7.0 User Settings I have 2 users and am trying to add a plant. User 1 has company code 0100 and when adding a plant, the drop down search list contains all plants associated with company code 0100. I can successfully add a plant for this user.
    User 2 has company codes 0100, 1000, and 1002. When trying to add a plant, the drop down search list only contains the plants associated with 1000 and 1002. I am unable to locate a plant associated with 0100.
    Their security access is identical. Any suggestion as to what is causing this is appreciated.
    Susan Bennett

    Hi Dhananjay and Bharath,
    You are correct that a plant can only be associated with 1 company code. But our users can create carts for multiple company codes and plants.
    These 2 users are set up identically except for the fact that one only has a single company code set up in User Settings and the other has 3 company codes. Only the plants related to two of the company codes are retrieved when doing a plant search. This prevents adding a plant for the 3rd company code in User Settings.
    I tried looking for an OSS note that might address this, but didn't find anything and thought that the experts out here may have heard of this before and be able to offer some assistance.
    Thank you...Susan
