[SOLVED]cmus && skype no sound

Hello,
   I'm experiencing quite the issue with my laptop(Asus N53SV, i3-2310M model). Cmus gives me the annoying "Error: opening audio device: internal error" and with skype I only have "Virtual Device" in the device lists. I noticed this happening a couple of days after an update so I rolled back root(had a backup made with rsync the day before the update). I've tried stopping/starting the daemon, fiddling with "/usr/lib/systemd/system/fluidsynth.service", "/etc/libao.conf" aswell as reinstalling both the programs and pulse/alsa to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
   Robert

That hit the nail on the head, marked the errors in a block.

  • [SOLVED] Skype notification sound breaks sound in totem

    The problem is as follows:
    When skype plays his notification sound, sound volume in totem is going down to zero. When skype notification sound is finished, totem volume is back. I can distinctly see this process in the last tab of gnome sound settings.
    I use the following softwate:
    # pacman -Qqs alsa
    alsa-lib
    alsa-plugins
    alsa-utils
    gnome-alsamixer
    lib32-alsa-lib

    pulseaudio
    pulseaudio-alsa
    I have no extra configurations for any of this packages. All packages are up to date.
    The problem is only between skype and totem. Skype doesnt conflict with gmusicbrowser, flash players.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I have actually the same problem, but apparently pulseaudio has changed since the last solution above because my file /etc/pulse/default.pa is not the same.
    There is no longer module-cork-music-on-phone module, and load-module module-role-cork is already commented out.
    Does someone have the same issue? Is there another solution?
    Thanks in advance!

  • [SOLVED] ASUS F3JC - no sound in headphones

    Hi,
    I successfully solved problem with no sound at all (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=31960), but still have no sound in my headphones. When I plug them in, laptop speakers get muted, but headphones play no sound. I'm using KMix to control volume.

    Hi,
    what you mean by that "sense" word? Or what it means... Theres that yellow led above... It's turned on, I double checked all of that. Plugging headphones in just mutes speakers. Whats going on? I need to use skype and without headphones its bit annoying... Could it be something with snd_hda_intel module's model option?
    If only certain aspects of your hardware work, e.g. the headphones but not line out, then you can try passing the model argument:
    modprobe snd_hda_intel model=asus
    I've got exactly the opposite .

  • Skype ring sound comes from earpiece

    Hi everyone,
    On my Nexus 5, when the phone is locked, skype ringing sound comes through the earpiece instead of the loud speaker. Most of the times I am missing calls because of this. Any solution for this?
    Skype Version: 5.0.0.52727

    Hi, I had the same problem and now i fixed it.
    I am using Sony M2 aqua with sony smartwatch that means my bluetooth is always on. You should change the mood of Bluetooth from your skype. When you are calling someone from skype (when it is ringing), Bluetooth icon will appear right beside of camera and mic icons. Then you should tap it and change the icon to out load mood icon. It will work out again and you can hear call from speaker on the bottom. I crosschecked with receive and dealing calls while Bluetooth was off, it was working too.

  • Skype No sound! [SOLVED

    Hi Arch forum.
    I've got a IBM R51 with 0.7.1 Noddle on it. I've found out that in AUR there was a package that contained Skype. That I have a lot of friends around the world, I installed that package.. Without any problems.
    But whan I tried it - I have a problem.. There's no sound while using skype..
    Normally I have Alsa installed and my sound is working great. Is there any way to solved that problem..
    I've also tried to put my headset on the machine - but with the same result..
    Have anybody any ideas about solving this problem????
    Thanks

  • Windows 8.1 skype no sound thru headpnones

    after upgrading to windows 8.1, sound in my headphones when using skype calling is not working ( when making phone calls thru skype) I hear the voice in my laptop speakers but not in my headset. can you help, anyone with similar problem?
    my system is a  HP Pavilion g6-2249 wm notebook pc

    Since sound works everywhere else properly, it is probably a setting within Skype that needs to be changed. These aren't specific to Windows 8.1, but it might give you an idea of what to look for:
    How do I configure Skype to work with a new headset, microphone or speakers?
    How do I use my USB phone or headset for Skype calls and my loudspeakers for all other audio in Skyp...

  • [SOLVED]New Build, no sound, Alsa unable to open slave

    I've been happily using Arch on an old laptop I had lying around for 4/5  months, alongside ARM on my Raspberry Pi for a year or so. Being more than happy with it I decided to sell my 2011 i5 iMac, build a pc and hopefully learn something along the way. I mention this as it's my first build and the issue may be hardware realted, or more likely my assembly of the hardware, I've updated my sig to reflect the new parts.
    The first decision I made two days ago upon putting the system together. I had two plugs, one for HD audio, another for Realtek audio, I went with the HD option. The other variable that is new to me is an audio option in the Gigabyte uefi/bios for audio which has options for enabled, disabled & auto - I've tried all three. I thought at first going with HD option may have meant sound only via hdmi, I'm using an old vga monitor, but after a little reading it seems the HD option should work with the standard audio out's on the motherboard & case too.
    I've got a 3.5mm jack plugged into the line out on the back of the motherboard going to a phono connection on my stereo, I've also tried the headphone out on the front of the case, Zalman Z9.
    I've installed alsa-plugins and alsa-utils. Upon running speaker-test, or speaker-test -c 2 I'm getting:
    speaker-test -c 2
    speaker-test 1.0.27.2

    options snd_hda_intel index=1

    I've tried a few variations in .asoundrc based on the wiki example with no luck.
    I'm lost, this is the first time I've had sound issues with linux and I'm really not sure if it's rooted in the hardware, my first attempt at building a pc or a simple alsa config issue.
    Googling for unable to open slave in alsa seems to bring up mainly conflicting programm issues whic I don't think is my issue as I have no sound at all.
    *edit*
    perhaps this should be in newbie corner? my linux sound knowledge is definitely newbie status.

    Solved, not sure where I was going wrong in my initial attempts but a simple .asoundrc has my speakers singing. Could have sworn this was tried to death in the first half hour or so, oh well.
    On the plus side I spent my lunch hour today getting a rough idea of sound on linux and alsa preparing for a fight with my new build, ten minutes after booting up the new machine on my return home & all is well.

  • [solved] Google chat: no sound

    I haven't webcam, and try to setup gmail chat sound.Have installed google-talkplugin [1], but both mic and playing back doesn't work. The same devices do work with (sorry) Skype. Have tried with Firefox and Chromium with the same result.
    As additional info - Conversation - Media menu items are disabled in pidgin (while setting voice level does work). Probably some common libs are missed.
    Where to dig in?

  • [SOLVED]Choppy to no sound

    I have a strange problem with my Toshiba/intel laptop. If I play a mp3 in XMMS there is no sound. If I jump out in the song there is a 1.5 sec sound (the mp3) witch repeats 2 times rapidly. Then there is silence until I jump in the song again. What could cause this? Also I have to unmute with gnome alsa mixer after every restart.

  • Calling my skype number: sounds like modem, fax

    When I got my US subscription and skype number, I tried calling it from another phone (att cell phone, and tried my work land line) to test it out and skype doesn't ring... It is just a weird modem, fax sound coming from the headset of the other phones. I do not even get a voicemail message from my skype number after the strange 'rings.'
    I am using skype on my ipad mini. It is the latest app, too. I have tried calling when The ipad is connected to 4g and from my home wifi. I cannot receive any calls, ipad app does not ring.
    Can still receive a skype to skype call, though. What's going on?

  • [Solved] bitlbee/skype connection trouble

    Hi all, been trying to solve this problem for a while now but to no avail, there doesn't appear to be much out there that offers any hints for where to look. I'm trying to get bitlbee, irssi and Skype working together, but every time I try to connect my Skype account, I just get connection time-outs or messages telling me it's unable to connect:

    Now, I have skyped set up and running on the machine, skype4py is authorised in the Public API tab of Skype, using the default port etc. but whether I connect from a remote machine or the same one, it just times out. Strangely, when I try to run skyped -l for logging, it just shows me the help message. As far as I can tell, it has executed just fine as it gives no errors. The username is correct, as is the password I'm using. I've generated the necessary certificates, as per this guide.
    $ skyped
    skyped is started on port 2727, pid: 635
    I can't find any log files to check for this so I'm a little bit lost as to what to do next. I can use bitlbee to connect to MSN no problem, so I don't think that's the issue. I imagine it's to do with skyped, but I don't really know how to check, so if anyone could provide any advice on the matter I would appreciate it. Even just a pointer in the right direction would help immensely. Hopefully one of my fellow Archers has this working.

    Hi pshevtsov, thank you for the reply. I checked and although skyped was starting Skype, it was not continuing to run so I tried it with --nofork as you said and I got this error message (this also appears to be the error shown in the latest comment on the AUR page for skype4py).

  • I sound like a robot in Skype, but sound perfectly...

    Hi! So this is my first time having this problem. I have a Logitech USB headset. When I do a free voice call, I sound like a robot! It has really bad quality like there's a little background noise. My internet connection seems fine because my computer literally sits next to my router. Is there any way to solve this problem so I can be able to call my friends? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Are you hearing this only in World of Warcraft?
    What about music and movies, are you hearing this too?
    Try a different game, that should tell you if it's the game or something else.

  • [SOLVED] vlc: sometimes no sound after jump

    When jumping to random places during video playback in vlc (e.g., to look for a particular scene), I notice that sometimes sound playback quits. Jumping around some more often restores sound playback, but sometimes it takes several jumps to get the sound back. How many jumps it takes to reproduce the problem or make it go away seems to be random. This is happening on all video files I've tried.
    I never had this problem before I upgraded my system on 3/1/15. My current vlc version is 2.2.0-1. I tried downgrading just vlc to the version I had before the upgrade (2.1.5-5) and the problem is still there. I also tried installing phonon-qt5-vlc (since during the upgrade pacman asked me whether to install phonon-qt5-gstreamer or phonon-qt5-vlc and I chose pacman's recommendation, which was phonon-qt5-gstreamer) and that did not solve the problem, either.
    I'm not sure where to go from here. Can someone please help me troubleshoot further?

    This is a little off-topic, but I did a little research on vlc alternatives and found that mplayer and vlc are very similar projects (both are extremely versatile, fairly self-contained, licensed under GPL). Main difference between the two seems to be that vlc is bundled with its own gui, while mplayer is just the backend--gui frontends include GNOME Mplayer, KMplayer, and SMplayer (the latter is written in qt and seems to be more DE-independent).
    I'll give SMplayer a try to see if it has the same problem, then I'll report back.
    So much great free (as in freedom) software, so little time...

    Just tryed playing a wav with aplay and it didn't give me any errors, but I didn't hear anything if that helps anymore. Running a amixer set MASTER 70% unmute also gives me the unable to find simple control 'MASTER',0 error too, though I can change the volume fine with alsamixer so I'm not sure why that is. The correct module is loaded (snd-hda-intel). Otherwise I'm at a complete loss.
    edit: amixer set MASTER 70% gives me the same error on an ubuntu livecd where sound does work so that seems normal. I don't know what changed, but I can now open the volume control so the gstreamer error goes away, however I still can't get any sound, be it with aplay or something else. I'm starting to think the solution may be to pass on arch and move to something better.

  • [Solved] Strange error with sound modules

    If i modprobe any sound modules, i get strange errors which tell me to lookup dmesg.
    The error output looks like
    WARNING: Error inserting snd_mixer_oss (/lib/modules/2.6.13-ARCH/kernel/sound/core/snd-pcm.ko): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
    FATAL: Error inserting snd_pcm_oss (/lib/modules/2.6.13-ARCH/kernel/sound/core/oss/snd-pcm-oss.ko): Unknown symbol in modules or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
    The same for my soundcard drivers etc, simply any alsa module.
    My modprobe.conf looks as follows.
    install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm; modprobe snd-pcm-oss; true
    install snd-seq modprobe -i snd-seq; modprobe snd-seq-oss; true
    options snd device_mode=666
    alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1397
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-ens1371
    Well, this should work fine (as i know). Looking up dmesg i get the following:
    snd_pcm_oss: Unknown symbol snd_info_unregister
    snd_pcm_oss: Unknown symbol snd_info_get_line
    snd_pcm_oss: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_format_width
    I've got this problem since i updated to 2.6.13-ARCH.
    Since this problem causes hotplug to take 10 minutes to start, it's annoying. I'd appreciate any hint what i could try.
    Thank you,
    STiAT

    That did solve my problem.
    Thank you alot!
