[Solved] audio cd with xmms2

Hello,
I would like to play audio cd with xmms2 but it's not possible with the versions in AUR. To play audio cd I need the cdda support. I was told, that I need to modifiy the PKGBUILD in:
./waf configure --prefix=/usr --with-plugins cdda || return 1
On the install page from xmms2 it's written that libdiscid and libcdio are needed for the cdda support:
http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/index.php/Ins … structions
So I installed both packages, modified the PKGBUILD and tried to compile. But I get the following:
Checking for program g++ : ok /usr/bin/g++
Checking for program cpp : ok /usr/bin/cpp
Checking for program ar : ok /usr/bin/ar

The following required plugin(s) failed to configure: cdda
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build xmms2-git package.
At the moment I use xmms2-git because I have some problems with the package xmms2. So libcdio_cdda isn't found. On my system I have:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30526 2008-03-19 22:23 /usr/lib/libcdio_cdda.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-03-19 22:23 /usr/lib/libcdio_cdda.so -> libcdio_cdda.so.0.0.3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-03-19 22:23 /usr/lib/libcdio_cdda.so.0 -> libcdio_cdda.so.0.0.3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29287 2008-03-19 22:23 /usr/lib/libcdio_cdda.so.0.0.3
So I think that I have everything. I assume there is a path problem. How I can know if during the ./configure step /usr/lib/ is checked ? I also try with the option --conf-prefix:
Will configure your build. Interesting options:
--prefix <path> : tells waf to put the installation in path
--conf-prefix <path> : tells waf to append -I<path>/include and -L<path>/lib before trying to compile anything
--without-plugins <list> : disable all the plugins in list.
--without-xmms2d 1|0 : disable xmms2d
--without-optionals <list> : disable all the optionals in the list.
--nocache : rerun all configuration tests.
-p : show a useless but cool progress bar when building!
but I got no results. Did somebody succeed to activate the cdda plugin for xmms2 ? Or does anybody have an idea about what's wrong ?
Thanks.

I downloaded xmms2 from the website and tried to configure it and the cdda plugin were detected. So I tried once again with
./waf configure --prefix=/usr --with-plugins cdda || return 1
and the plugin were detected !?!?!?!
With that command it seems that less plugins are enabled. I also had so problem to start xmms2 because I got some errors. At the end I did:
./waf configure --prefix=/usr || return 1
and I restart xmms2 and all is fine now!!!! I can eventually listen to my cd with xmms2!

  • [SOLVED] Audio dropouts with USB sound card

    Hi! Recently I bought an external USB sound card (Music Fidelity V-DAC). If I plug in the USB cable the sound device is recognized by Phonon in KDE4 (kdemod).
    If I play an audio file in Amarok (or VLC) the audio is indeed redirected to the USB sound card and played correctly. However, if I use my USB mouse, or USB keyboard dropouts are occurring in the audio signal. It seems that other USB devices are interfering with my USB sound card.
    More details:
    Arch Linux with kernel 2.6.33 and kdemod 4. Phonon backend is Xine. I also tried gstreamer, but this crashes Amarok/
    $ cat /proc/asound/cards

    I also tried an Ubuntu (9.10) live CD. Using ALSA or Pulseaudio a clean audio signal without dropouts is produced.
    I wonder if someone can help me with this problem, or point me to more information. Thanks!

    Thanks for your suggestion. I added the following line to my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file:
    options snd-usb-audio enable_msi=1
    After a reboot the problem still persists. I also tried another suggestion from this forum:
    options snd-usb-audio nrpacks=1
    This doesn't work either. I tried to change settings in /etc/security/limits.conf, which looks like this:
    @audio - rtprio 99
    @audio - nice -10
    @audio - memlock 250000
    The USB sound card doesn't share a IRQ with another USB devices, as can be seen here:

  • Firewire audio problems with OS X 10.5.6

    Hello,
    I’m experiencing audio problems with Firewire 400 on my Macbook running Mac OSX 10.5.6.
    I’ve got a 2.4Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM and 59 GB available on the internal HD.
    It’s hooked up to a brand new Mackie D.4 mixer with 2 Firewire outputs. The problems occur on both Firewire outputs.
    I’ve installed automatically from the software update (which I will never do again) to 10.5.6. I never tried the D.4 with 10.5.5 so I can’t tell if the problems occur there also.
    The main problem is that after a couple of minutes of recording the sound starts to break up and get really distorted. After a while the sound comes back again.
    The second problem is that Soundtrack Pro or Audacity don’t get any audio input from the D.4, although audio input is clearly visible in System Preferences – Sound.
    The only sound program that works with all 14 Firewire channels is Ableton, but also in Ableton the distortion occurs.
    An example of the distortion can be checked here:
    http://media.kaalslag.com/firewire-distortion-problem-mackieD4+Macbook.mp3
    I’ve roamed several forums and sites to solve the problem and I tried these solutions:
    I updated again to 10.5.6. with the full combo download from the Apple site. Restarted. Problem still there.
    I shut Airport off, because lots of sites mentioned problems with Airport conflicting with audio/firewire. Didn’t work.
    I did the work around with shutting the Macbook off, disconnecting the D.4, restarting the Macbook, opening Audio/Midi Setup, connecting the D.4 again, toggling the format frequencies a couple of times. Again, no use.
    Right now I’m using my “old” Macbook again to record from vinyl. This one is still running on OSX 10.4.11. No problems so far.
    I’ve had the distortion problems occuring before with an USB interface. Hoped that the Mackie Firewire would solve the problem, but it seems now that there’s a serious audio Firewire problem which is still not solved in OSX 10.5.
    Any help, tips and/or a work around would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    You could try using another computer in Target Disk mode (as an "external HD"), or you can connect the firewire cable and disconnect all other network cables (turning off airport). Then on each computer go to the "Network" system preferences and select "Built-in Firewire" from the list of ports and choose "Manually" from the drop-down menu next to "Configure". Enter the following IP addresses and subnet masks, apply the changes.
    _Computer 1_
    IP Address: 192.168.1.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    _Computer 2_
    IP Address: 192.168.1.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    After those ip addresses are entered and you've clicked "Apply", ensure that for both computers you have file sharing enabled (done in the "Sharing" system preferences), and then check the Finder sidebar to see if the computers can see each other (their names should appear under "Shared" in the sidebar--if not, try restarting).
    If the computers dont appear (even after restarting), using the "Connect To" option that's available in the Finder's "Go" menu. In there, to connect to another computer enter it's IP address as follows:
    afp://IP_ADDRESS
    If you're on the computer with the ip address of 192.168.1.1, you would enter 192.168.1.2 as "IP_ADDRESS". The "afp" is the protocol (just like "http" for web), and stands for "Apple Filing Protocol"...Apple's file sharing protocol.

  • Delay on audio playback with FiiO e10 USB DAC

    Hello,
    My USB DAC playback is not working correctly. When I start the playback of any music stream, it takes a while (around a second or less) before I actually hear anything. The problem also occurs if short silent periods are present in the audio file/stream. The only way I can listen these problematic files/streams without the skipping is by keeping the master channel active all the time by playing some other audio along with problematic stream.
    I have had this problem on openSUSE 12.3 too, and I was not able to solve it there either.
    On Windows 7, however, this very same problem occurs only if I choose to use any of the 24 bit audio depth settings for the DAC.
    Here is a screenshot to demonstrate the Windows scenario:
    http://s10.postimg.org/xzwx302jd/fiio_delay.png
    I have been trying out various things things without success, such as:
    From Arch's PulseAudio wiki:
    - Glitches, skips or crackling
    - Setting the default fragment number and buffer size in PulseAudio
    - Laggy sound
    - Realtime scheduling
    Here is some general information about my current Arch system and sound settings:
    OS: Arch Linux x86_64
    Kernel Release: 3.14.1-1-ARCH
    WM: KWin
    DE: KDE
    Processor Type: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
    Sound settings: ALSA + PulseAudio
    This problem did exist even before I installed Pulseaudio.

    Yes. It did exist even before I installed pulseaudio.
    emeres wrote:Check different resolutions, sample rates and channels. Try to determine the lowest buffer and period size, that the DAC accepts.
    If by this you mean this, I went through that guide and it did not make any difference.
    I found out that sometimes some audio formats, such as wav or mp3 do not produce this flaw. I gathered stats about this here. VLC was used for playback and displaying the information. Amarok behaves similarly.
    emeres wrote: You probably load snd-usb-audio module with no options. Try loading it with "nrpacks" using different settings (default is 8, try 1, 2).
    I am not sure if this is the way to do it, but I followed this guide and added file: "usbsound.conf" to "/etc/modprobe.d/". usbsound.conf has line: "options snd_usb_audio nrpacks=2". I tried changing the nrpacks to various values and booted after every change, but it did not make difference to the audio skipping.
    What could it be that .xm (and every other tracker music format) and .ogg files are not playing like mp3 or wav?
    Sorry for delayed reply and about that image

  • T61 - No sound - Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with yellow exclamation mark

    Hi,
     I am not sure when it started but suddenly my T61 has no audio/sound. I checked the Device Manager and did see the Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus with yellow (big) question mark with yellow exclamation mark superimposed on it. I downloaded, from Lenovo Support site, the 7ka114ww.exe , hoping to fix it by un-install that device, reboot it,  and re-install using the download exe file, but to no avail.
     Any suggestion or help is really appreciated. Many thanks in advance
    PS. I also see the Base System Device pop up after a reboot and ask to be installed ?!? That pop-up had been there for a while before the audio/sound was lost.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Maliha,
     I followed your instruction to execute the exe file under C:\Drivers. After that, I rebooted the system and no more error pop up for the missing audio device. I checked the Device Manager and the Audio Device on High Definition Audion Bus disappeared and the SoundMax was shown. But again, still no sound. I clicked on TroubleShooting on that SoundMax and followed that instruction. I found out the default Sound device was erroneously pointed to BlueTooth. I made the change to SoundMax and voila ... the sweet ding sound came back.
     That was a wonderful feeling to be able to fix  this nagging problem that my company HelpDesk could not help me. All thank to this forum and particular Maliha. Again, my appreciation to the valuable help.

  • USB audio problems with 2013 iMac

    I'm having a strange audio problem with USB microphones and headsets. The issue with my Logitech H650e is shown in this screencast I recorded. In the first part of the screencast, I am not speaking into the mic—yet you can see the levels fluctuating as if there is static playing (not in a natural pattern that you'd see when someone is speaking). In the next part of the video I demonstrate that selecting the built-in iMac mic for input, and then re-selecting the Logitech headset temporarily solves the problem. You can see the input start to fluctuate normally as it should when I am speaking. But at 0:31 in the screencast, you can see the input levels freeze and stop registering anything. I continued to speak until the end of the screencast, but no input was detected. For this screencast, I was on a Go To Webinar call, but the problem occurs regardless of whether I'm using Skype, Go To Webinar, GarageBand or any other software.
    The problem with my Blue Yeti USB microphone is also different. In that case, the input does not freeze as it does with the Logitech headset. The levels appear as you would expect, and it seems to work. However, the person on the other end can hear static in the background, even though I don't hear it in my own headphones. I learned this because I just tried to do a Skype interview with the Blue Yeti, and the interviewer told me they could hear static. We closed Skype and called each other back twice, but the problem persisted. Then, suspecting the problem was related to what I described above with the Logitech, I unplugged the Yeti and then plugged it into my Macbook Air 2013 (also running Mavericks). Lo and behold the static completely disappeared.
    My Griffin iMic and Audio Technica lavalier mic (attached to the iMic) behaves similarly to the Yeti, except in this case I can hear the static when I speak with my monitoring headphones. The input works but I get a lot of cracking and static in the background. This was confirmed by calling the Skype Test Call number and recording a message, which is then played back.
    Here are the facts:
    All 3 of my USB audio microphones/headsets do not work with my 2013 iMac running Mavericks
    All 3 of these microphones/headsets worked fine with my 2008 Mac Pro running Mountain Lion
    All 3 of these microphones/headsets work fine with my 2013 Macbook Air running Mavericks
    In this other thread, several people are reporting similar issues with the iMac 2013 and Mavericks. At least two people did not have the issue when the iMac 2013 was running Mountain Lion. This of course suggests the issue is the combination of the iMac 2013 and Mavericks.

  • How to associate audio file with progress bar

    Hi all,
    I have a case in which I need to associate an audio file witha  progress bar. What I want to do is to able to play a audio file which will say " Process started.." Process going on" and process ends, and it shoud be synchronized with the progress bar. Is there a way to do this .
    Please let me know
    Thanks,
    Ankit G
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you referring to a LabVIEW horizontal/vertical progress bar, which basically has a U8 integer constantly written to it? Is this in a loop as it fills up?
    If so, there is an entire palette that allows you to play waveforms. As you're writing to your progress bar the number, you can keep checking what that number is (event or case structure), and when it hits particular values, you play particular sounds. Here is a screenshot of that palette.

  • Dv6 1244tx - Audio tinny with Windows 7

    Hi guys,
    I've recently upgraded my dv6-1244tx to Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit). Ever since doing so, the audio quality has changed, it now sounds tinny with no bass at all, like the audio is going through a high pass filter or something. This happens in all applications.
    I've installed the latest audio drivers (or what windows thinks are the latest anyways) and CODECS from the official hp site, to no avail. Fwiw, the mute button on the top panel is now permanently red/orange, when it used to change white for unmute, red for mute...
    A brief google showed a few other users encountering similar problems, but with no real fixed solution - so just wanted to know if any other hp owners have encountered this, or if anyone has any ideas about what I can try. 
    Thanks [fingers crossed]
    R. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    OK, as an update to this, I've just tried rolling back the IDT High Def Audio Codec to the previously installed driver, which had the same tinny (no bass) audio quality.
    Then tried Updating that Codec back to the latest, and now Media player doesn't play anything - shows an error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device."
    So, in order to test whether Windows can generate ANY sound at all, I go to : Control Panel >  Change System sounds , where I get a message saying something like "enhancements may be affecting the performance of your device, would you like to disable enhancements?", I click OK, and problem is solved - Audio is back with full bass, nice and crisp and clear.
    It seems some enhancements may have been enabled in the driver's/codec's default settings? I'm unsure of the initial problem, but am ecstatic it's fixed.
    Hope this post helps others who encounter similar problems! (if you can make sense of my ramblings!)
    Cheers,
    R. 

  • Sound / Audio issues with Google Chrome

    Hi guys,
    I have this audio issue with a new Macbook Air (2013 base model).
    When I stream audio / video (eg podcast, YouTube, NBATV) via Google Chrome, there is the static or clicking sound which you could hear both through the built in speakers and through the headset.
    Brought it in to the Apple Store yesterday and they acknowledged the sound on Chrome.  HOWEVER when using Safari, this clicking / static sound is no longer audible.  I can probably record an audio clip to demo this further.  The genius concoluded that this is probably an issues with Chrome or codecs that its using rather than the actual laptop.  No replacements at this stage. 
    I have an old MBA 11” where this issue does NOT occur.
    The hesitation in using Safari is Flash.  Some video streams such as NBATV, which I watch quite frequently use Flash. Chrome handles this quite well, with no separate installs required. 
    Has anyone else encountered this?  Not sure if I can pursue this issue further with Apple.

    Chrome shockwave flash plugin issue causing sound problems on the macbook:
    Shockwave Flash 11.5 r31    (old version)
    Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502
    disabling r31 solved it.
    Many people have checked their chrome plugins and found they had two plugins enabled. They disabled the older one and audio is perfect.
    -Go to chrome://plugins
    -Click and expand +Details in the Upper Right
    -Check over the flash files.
    -One is version 11.3.31.222
    -Disable the odd version and reload the flash content
    For some reason, CHROME has allowed two flash plugins to be enabled at the same time, and clearly the older version is the one causing the problems.
    go to "Chrome://plugins" tab. Click “Details” at the upper-right corner of the page.
    Find “Shockwave Flash” listing for the integrated plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Disable” button. To identify the integrated plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
    Find the “Flash” (or “Shockwave Flash”) listing for the system plug-in on the page and click the corresponding “Enable” button. To identify the system plug-in, see the table of plug-in filenames above.
    disabling Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31 resolved the problem for most people.
    When people double checked: if they re-enable Shockwave Flash 11.4 r31, ....the distorted / broken audio happens again.
    Hope that solves it for you

    How do I get Video and Audio Chats with PCs ? iChat FAQ 3 (Updated 7/12/2008)
    Applies to iChat 2.x, iChat 3.x and iChat 4.x to any version of AIM on a PC before AIM 6.1
    This piece is designed for those trying to connect Mac to PC for Video and Audio chats. Any iChat version Panther and up.
    Glossary For This FAQ
    This bit is designed for clarity.
    Video is the sending and /or recieving of pictures and sound.
    Audio is the sending and or receiving of sound only.
    One-Way is the ablity to start either an Audio or Video chat from one end to a receipient who can not match your capabilities (or Vice Versa)
    What is needed
    At the Mac end
    A Mac running OS 10.3.x and iChat AV ver 2.1 or 10.4 plus iChat 3 or Leopard and iChat 4
    A DSL/Cable/Fibre (Broadband) connection of at least an up link speed of 256kbs.
    An AIM , @mac.com or MobileMe (@me.com) account name.
    (hosting Multiple person Mac to Mac AV chats requires higher specs and broadband uplink speed).
    At the PC end
    1 PC running windows XP (home or Pro). THIS A MUST
    The AIM Standalone Application, currently at ver. 5.9 at this link. AIM (the Site) now call this version Classic and it cannot be Installed On Vista
    Note: there is also Trillian which has a Pro version for $25 that can also Video and Audio chat. The Basic version just Texts and Audio Chats (AIM does not Audio chat)
    Some need the aimrtc12.exe file from Here Mostly Earlier than XP or Pre Service Pack 2 XP versions of Windows
    Note: It has been noted that this file is now apparently included in Windows XP after Service Pack 2 and above.
    An AIM account/screen name (AOL or Netscape count as well)
    Service Pack 2 info. This info will allow the PC user to enable AIM thorough the XP Firewall. The Windows Firewall did not exist as such before this
    Between both of you.
    At least one camera (Mac end)
    A sound input device (the camera, if it has one is ok)
    Your Buddies screen/account name in each others Buddy Lists
    Other tweaks
    For some people, using AIM on a PC, may also have to make sure their preferences (properties) are set in the AIM Buddy list, for their camera and /or Mic. (Tuning at Message 570)
    This is an icon button lower right on the Buddy List marked "Prefs" (AIM 5.5). This leads to the Preferences. Drop down the list until you read Live Video. Click on this. In the new window that opens click the button that says Tuning Video and Audio. Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens up. Access in AIM 5.9 for this is in the My AIM menu at the top of the Buddy list and then Options
    To Start
    You should now be able to chat to each other.
    If each of you has a camera it can be full Video , as described in the Glossary at the top.
    To start from the Mac end, select (highlight) your Buddy with one click. His camera icon should be dark. Click on the icon near his name or the one at the bottom of the Buddy List. (You do not have to start a text chat).
    To start from the PC end you need to start a text chat, then select the Video icon at the bottom of the chat window.
    If one of you has a camera and the other has a Mic then you will be able to chat One Way but have sound will be both ways.
    To start this type of chat from the Mac end you will have to go to the menu item "Buddies" and drop down to the item "Invite to One Way Video Chat"
    To start this from a PC follow the directions in the pargraph above. You may need to change the tab to the incoming Video at the back of the two to see the Video. These tabs are added when the Video chat starts and the front one normally states you do not have a camera and shows a connection to buy one.
    It is also possible to chat One Way if the other person does not have a Mic: replies will have to be typed in a Text chat.
    No Camera and No Mic will cause iChat to End the chat with "No Data Received for 10 Secs"
    Summary
    For any sort of sound to a PC using AIM, (Talk in PC or Audio in iChat) the Mac will need a camera. The other person can have a Mic and then live chats with sound both ways and Pictures (Video) the other.
    NOTE: At This Time It Is NOT Possible to Audio (sound only) between Mac & PC with AIM & iChat
    Trillian Basic can Audio. Trillian Pro can Video and has a bigger picture and can do Full Screen.
    Another explanation of the set up can be found Here about AIM 5.5 but is transferable.

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!
