[SOLVED] How to make the volume knob on my headset work

I have a Turtle Beach PX3.  It's a USB wireless headset.  I got the sound working and everything and I can control the volume through the XFCE mixer or the ALSA mixer but I would like to be able to use the physical knob.  On Windows 7, it just sends a signal to bump up the volume in the software mixer much like the volume controls on a keyboard would.  For the short time I used Xubuntu 12.04 it recognized that I was moving the knob (it popped up a volume bar) but it seemed to be adjusting the wrong thing because the volume didn't actually change.  On Arch, it doesn't do anything.  I'm just did a fresh install and I'm running XFCE with just straight ALSA but I wouldn't be objecting to trying out PulseAudio or something if it would help (though I've never set this up in Arch so I may need a little help).

Nevermind, got my Google-fu on and the package was xorg-xev.  It recognized when I moved the knob.
Here's the volume raise code:
KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
root 0xc6, subw 0x0, time 8056414, (56,97), root:(540,575),
state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
And the volume lower:
KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
root 0xc6, subw 0x0, time 8054284, (56,97), root:(540,575),
state 0x0, keycode 122 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

  • How to make the buggy DR8-A HD Burn work?

    My HD Burn simply don't work. I have change to another new drive from
    the shop that I bought the DR8-A, but still the same!!!  
    It is always the error - power calibration error when I am burning a 700MB
    with HD burn (tried SmartBuy, Sony and Imation, all cannot work)
    I done testing with the Nero provided and latest Nero 6.3.0.3.
    Actually I fancy this drive over TDK AID 880NA because of HD-Burn!
    Can someone please share how to burn with HD-Burn? Any special medium?
    MSI, can you please do something? Reply us with a FAQ or something helpful?
    I think this is the worse MSI product that I have bought.  
    I used to be a fan of MSI, my whole PC consists of MSI parts.
    Now my impression of MSI products changed big time.
    How to make this HD Burn work?! Anyone got any comment or information?
    Please share???  

    I have the MSI DVD DR-8A and i've already burnt over a dozen HD-burn CDs without any problem  
    My only road block was to find how to use it with nero (it is presented as a different type of disk), but after i read nero doc and chose the right option, it has been flying. I'll report on my media later (i dont have them here).
    Edit: I've used
     - FujiFilm CDR 80minutes 24x
     - Memorex CDR 80 mins 48x
    No problem with either, burnt at the maximum 24x HD burn speed.
    My only gripe with HD burn is that it does not allow any overburning. Not a bit over the 1400Meg limit. not a big problem, though.
    Also, be cautious on WHAT you burn. CD are not a very good archival method. They can degrade quite fast and i would bet that HD-burn, being more precise, is more sensitive to those degradations too.

  • How to make the java.sql.Datasource.setLoginTimeout method work

    I have an EJB that gets a database connection. At the moment, if it can't get a connection, it waits there for 3 minutes, which is unacceptable. I would like to throw an exception or somehow limit the timeout period. When I found this setLoginTimeout method I thought my troubles were over. But no matter what I set it to, it still blocks and waits about 3 minutes.
    I have tried this with MSSQL7 databases, and Sybase databases, using all the inet drivers available and also jConn52 driver (for Sybase). But with no luck (despite inet saying Opta supports this method)
    Is it that no drivers yet support this method? If so, could you point me in the direction of some drivers (MSSQL7 and Sybase Server ) that support this method? Otherwise, could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
    This is my code, to try to make it timeout in 30 seconds.
    javax.naming.InitialContext ic = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
    javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)ic.lookup(myDatasourceName);
    ds.setLoginTimeout(30);
    java.sql.Conection newConn newConn = ds.getConnection();
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,
    BO Administrator has to give access for you for sending a report to mail / other users. If you have admin access then goto CMC -> Servers ->  Click on Properties of Adaptive Job Server -> Click on Destination -> Add all your destination (Email,FTP etc.)
    -> enter Configuration details for email etc else send a mail to your admin if possible with screen shot for the access.

  • How can i make the volume controller on a pavillion dv4 work after a clean windows install?

    Hello!
    Recently I performed a clean windows 7 install from a windows install disk I previously owned, the problem is that this disk didn't intalled the drivers and programs specific for this computer. What I want to know is which driver or program I need to install to make the volume controller on my computer to work again? The problem is that the volume bar that previously appeared on the screen and the "bing" sound indicating the volume level doesn't appear or sound now.
    All other things seem to work fine, this is the only problem so far.
    Thanks!

  • How to make the screen dim while music is playing

    I can't get the screen to dim while playing music on my iPod Nano.  It used to be that the screen dimmed while music was playing until it lit up when I hit a button to change volume, track, etc.  This preserved the battery life.  It seems that I inadvertantly changed some setting just a few days ago because I saw the apple logo appear on the screen and since then have not been able to figure out how to make the screen dim while playing music.  I think the fact that the screen is staying on while I'm listening now is making the battery out very quickly.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?  Thank you!

    Hello ZingMA,
    You need to reset the backlight timer.
    Go to settings, general, and backlight. You should be able to set if from there. I am assuming you have a 6th gen nano. If you have a different model the user manuals have the steps. Found here:
    iPod nanos
    Hope this helps.

  • How to make the strength of my powerbook wireless stronger?

    hi, im using powerbook g4 12inch and my friend is using ibook.
    my problem is she can get stronger signal than mine. for instance, she can get 4 networks and i only have one or none network listed. and another example is that she could get full range 4/4 and mine is only like 2/4?
    i hope you can help me solve this problem because im using alot of wireless for my projects. and this disturbs me because even in my home i have trouble connecting in the kitchen when my router is at my bedroom nearby!
    anyway, i read somewhere that the support people ask a guy to open the network/airport card and do something like pressing it for 10sec?? and his airport card is stronger than before (he claims), but he did not provide enough details, info for the procedure. so i thought i might get more help here?
    so anyone knows a way of how to make the strength of my wireless stronger?
    much thanks!

    Perhaps the advice was to make sure that the cable or card is firmly connected/seated. Here's some documentation on how to do that.
    Historically, iBooks have had better AirPort reception than metallic PowerBooks due to the signal travelling better through plastic than titanium or aluminum. My 12" PowerBook has little plastic edges to allow better reception. I don't recall when these were added.
    Right now, I'm able to connect to my router in my bedroom from the living room. In the past, it was pretty spotty, but I think an update fixed that. I can also see several nearby wireless networks.

  • How to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time

    hello
    I have 2 while loop
    the 1st while loop includes the data acquisition program
    the 2nd while loop includes the control program
    my question is how to make the exchange of data between 2 while loop in real time
    I tried with the local variable and direct wiring between the 2 while loop
    it does not work (there is a delay)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Bilalus,
    Queues are only good to transfer data if your application isn't deterministic. Since you are using Real Time, I am assuming that your application requires determinism. If you are using Timed Loops and you use queues to transfer data between your loops, you are losing determinism. In this case, you need to use the RT FIFO functions.

  • How to make the condition type active

    hi,

    Dear Balaji,
    Yes it will come as Inactive mode.....If you make the 2 condition Class is same in single Pricing procedure ,In Standard system will display like this only..
    For Example:PR00-Condition class is Price
    EX00-Condition class is Price
    Then first Condition type will become Inactive.. change the Class of the Second Condition Type.

  • How to make the manual entry of cost center in MIRO

    Hi
    In MIRO, Cost center field is not populating for the PO without material and with the account assignment project P. I want the cost center to be populated in the MIRO screen.
    In OLMRLIST screen cost center tab is not fixed. Once the cost center populates in the MIRO i can fix it.
    Please let me know the detailed procedure of how to make the manual entry of the cost center in MIRO?
    Raja

    Hi,
    If the PO is Account assigned PO then in MIRO you need to select the Layout as Account assigned -Costcentre, the system will change the Layout of the MIRO.
    So on the line item of MIRO you will find the Account assignment arrow mark (just move rightside of the MIRO line item) press this arrow mark,
    then system will take to other screen where you can enter the Manual entery to the Cost centre along with G/L account in MIRO
    hope this solves your problem. To enter the cost manually you need to select the Layout as Account assignment -- Cost centre.

  • How to make the CD/DVD drive compatible on Satellite 5000-204

    Hi all,
    I see a thread on replacing CD/DVD drive on this notebook, but it was closed, so i write this post.
    The most of recent unit is "cable select" type and will not be recognized from many Toshiba notebook.
    To solve that you must search a drive for which you can found a firmware update that change it to be "reverse cable select" type, as Nec or Optiarc
    If you buy a drive that can't be recognize (like me) read below.
    I succesfully replaced the DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit with a Pioneer DVR-KD08 DVD writer.
    This unit is a "cable select" type (as most other recent unit) so it can't be recognise by this notebook (and many other Toshiba models). The solution is to connect pin 45 and 47 together on the drive or on the connector adapter (this second solution is simpler).
    If you watch the drive from behind these pins are the second and third from the left on the upper row of pin of the connector.
    In the connector adapter it's simpler to connect these pin (with care) with a solder iron directly on the circuit board.
    Obviously on the circuit board the pins are the second and third from the right.
    After this the unit will recognize ok.

    Hi buddy
    First of all thank you for participation in the forum its always nice to have users who shares the own experience and knowledge.
    Thanks you also for this info how to make the CD/DVD drive compatible.
    But to be honest Im a little bit skeptical because there is a chance that the drive could be damage during this procedure.
    So everyone could do this but only at the own risk!!!
    Usually the compatible drives can be found in the user manual and it would be useful taking a look into the user manual before buying an NOT compatible drive ;)
    Cheers mate
