[SOLVED] [no actual solution inside] No sound in KDE 4.1 beta

Installed KDE 4.1 beta as found here
There is no sound and device list in KDE control center shows ESD
I installed pulseaudio and added it and esd in the deamons in rc.conf and added the user in the groups and added the auth file in home
Now the module shows both ESD and the hardware device and still there is no sound
Any clue ?
EDIT
No miracle with the speakers being plugged in the microphone port

Try the latest RC and make sure to have phonon installed.

Is there an actual solution to "Unable to open project file"

This has happened to me so many times that it isn't funny. So many people have asked why their final cut project files are unable to open. I have tried all the suggestions such as deleting preferences, repair permissions, saving files often and separate project files with different versions, but there always seems to be one that doesn't open and usually several versions before that as well as the autosave files.
Basically I need to save all the time and check every few minutes to see if I am not losing anything, which is very annoying. Why does this happen? It doesn't happen in iMovie. It is very frustrating. Is there an actual solution or just work arounds? Is Apple aware of this problem? Can they do something about it?
PowerMac G5, iBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Al,
Thanks for the reply. So how should my system setup be? I have searched tons of forums. Some say that FCE doesn't like transparent images and I have used transparent images, but that is one of the things it is supposed to do in order to create certain effects. Many forums say that the file gets corrupted and so should save often and save seperate project files such as version 1, 2, 3 and so forth, which I have done, but why do the files get corrupted? If the render files are the problem, how do I know and how do I solve the problem. Like I said I have searched this forum and many others and they all say the same thing, but I still don't know why it keeps happening and what the real solution is.

Messages beta crashes on launch - the actual solution

since this garbage forum won't let you edit a "solution" even if it is incorrect, i'm creating a competing duplicate topic as a kludge to address the exact same issue. joy.
here is the original question ..
"i've tried uninstalling, clearing out all iChat accounts and reinstalling.
i've tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS port suggestion.
i've tried deleting security certificates in keychain.
i've tried setting the messages app on my iPhone to use my apple id instead of phone number.
no matter what i do, the messages beta crashes on launch, sometimes after asking if i want to restore windows, sometimes without.
sometimes after a clean reinstall i can send one message to my wife's account/phone before there is a crash.
i've tried uninstalling a multitude of times in a multitude of ways, but whatever i do, messages beta keeps crashing on launch.
so, what now?
am i basically just screwed, so that if anyone message my apple id instead of my phone number the messge will be sent to this app which will not open for more than a couple of seconds at best?"
and here is the actual solution for this bug..
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17848204#17848204
"I have been having the same problems.
Messages would crash immediately when I opened the application. So fast that I coudn 't even uninstall it.
I finally fixed it by right clicking on the app in the applications folder then 'get info' and then unchecking the 'open in 32-bit mode' check box.
Now it works perfectly and hasn't crashed since." ~ antonyd

[SOLVED] How to achieve the best sound quality with USB DAC?

I want to take full advantage of my hardware. However, I'm having trouble understanding what settings I need to configure. I've spent several hours reading through wikis and searching online. Ultimately, I'm trying to achieve the highest quality audio output in stereo that's possible with my setup. USB > Behringer UAC202 > RCA out > Audioengine A2
I've had this DAC working for a couple of weeks, but I noticed that MPD was still eating a lot of CPU cycles upsampling music from 44.1 to 48khz. As I looked into it, it seems that this is unavoidable with ALSA, so I need to use OSS. Is that true? There's some conflicting ideas about when it's necessary to use OSS. I'm not using any legacy applications or old hardware. The "Hardware mixing" section in the ALSA wiki is pretty sparse.
I want all sound to go through the DAC, so I disabled all of the sound options in the BIOS (HDAudio and HDMI audio). I shouldn't need those enabled, right? (What's strange is that ALSA no longer wants to load without them.) I've added the OSS daemon and it starts, but I still don't have any sound in KDE. It no longer offers the "USB Audio CODEC" option. I'm ok with no system sound for now, if I can get MPD working.
/etc/mpd.conf contains:
audio_output {
type "oss"
name "UCA202"
device "/dev/oss/usb08bb2902-1/pcm0"
format "44100:16:2" # optional
mixer_device "/dev/mixer"
MPD is still starting as the root user. (I know, I should change that)
The daemon starts, but trying to play any track results in the following error in /var/log/mpd/mpd.log:
May 21 10:46 : output: "UCA202" [oss] failed to play: Write error on /dev/oss/usb08bb2902-1/pcm0: Input/output error
So... any help would be appreciated. Maybe, first of all, do I need to use OSS or should I switch back to alsa? Or maybe something else like jack?
*******EDIT*******
ALSA was the correct choice. The simple solution was to create /etc/asound.conf containing:
pcm.!default{
type rate
slave{
pcm "plughw:0,0"
rate 44100
Then change the audio output settings in mpd.conf to:
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "MPD ALSA"
device "hw:0,0"
mixer_control "PCM"
With these settings the DAC receives 44.1khz audio and no upmixing occurs. Only one application can make audio output at a time. MPD uses much less CPU.

For good sound quality, flat response is the most important thing. Take a look at qloud, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34412, and find yourself a very good microphone.
Then you will probably want to set a global equalizer for your machine. You can try with alsa, http://krustev.net/w/articles/Global_eq … _for_ALSA/.
If ALSA isn't finegrained enough, jack has a lot more flexibility, except for the fact that it doesn't allow you to set default output device, so you will need a helper application to redirect all output connections to your equalizer.
Well, i would say this is quite subjective. Untouched signal is superior to any equalized sound in my opinion, but i know this debate is never satisfying

Windows 7 Sound Stutter Solution - Fixed my sound issues.

9Windows 7 Sound Stutter Solution - Fixed my sound issues.= I have had some?stuttering when I installed windows 7 32-bit and the latest SB drivers for my X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card.

media center music with visualization will crash it too.
It doesn't suprize me its a bios setting. I think the whole thing has to do with latency and board timing.
Overall I'm pissed. creative could just come out and say,"Look, the older products are not compatable with windows 7. Go out and buy a new creative windows 7 compatable card" But they haven't. They have said that x-fi is totally compatable with windows 7 and its not. win 7 is out. The RTM has been out for months. They have had time to make drivers. They just haven't done it. I use a lot of audio applications day to day. I'm tired and pissed off about having audio crashs.
seriously, just release a quick fix with basic sound and worry about all the eax **bleep** later.

[SOLVED] gnome update killed sound on kde 4.9.2 system

the recent gnome-updates in testing seem to have broken my sound on kde 4.9.2. My sound system relied on pulseaudio, phonon-gstreeamer and gstreamer0.10. Since the update there ist only a 'dummy' entry in my soundmixer and no sound anymore. Did anybody experience the same?
Edit: Just downgraded with pacman -Syuu with all testing repos disabled. Sound is there again. This IS an update problem.

No sound at KDE Startup

Until yesterday my sound worked fine, both at KDE startup and in KDE. After Syu'ing yesterday no sound at KDE startup. However, sound works to extent that aplay plays .wav files. Suspecting that the upgrade altered a config file, I checked the alsa config files and nothing had changed. I don't know where to look in KDE itself other than the sound section, which was also unchanged.
No big deal, upgrading is always a digital experiment. Just curious.
Any intel would be most appreciated.

is the only thing to set notifications in kde, but it is a tricky one (the UI is not well made):
- check if the volume is set ok: in the "Configure - System Notifiactions" check under the button "Player Settings..." if your volume is not muted (you do not need other player)
- if you select a notification that has sound set ... if you click on the button to test sound, does it work? ... check if the files exist
else i dont know what to try to check why it is not working right ... arts works, so it's not a backend problem ... but a kde-one :-(

Everytime my phone vibrates it makes this loud noise from inside that sounds like a weird cracking noise or something help!!

Okay so I noticed a week or two ago that there was something lose on the inside of my iPhone 5s and ever since then when my phone vibrates sometimes there is this weird noise. It sounds almost like a cracking noise from the inside or a weird electrical noise. I think something is wrong with the vibrating part. Does anyone know if this is fixable or what it is?

[solved]Problems with 82801H (ICH8 Family) sound

Hi!
I've got some problems with my sound.
I read http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50047 (adding options in modprobe.conf)
I tried http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALS … s_and_test
and followed http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Len … X300#Sound
But for some reason I simply can't get any sound at all.
My laptop is a lenovo x61s with
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
The modules (same as first link), are loaded without problems.
I've run alsaconf, checked modprobe.conf and modprobe.d/sound, looks ok
I get the channels in alsamixer, and my regular user is a member of audio group.
Trying e.g. vlc gives no error, simply no sound..
Following the test (second link, with aplay), gives no error.. simply no sound
I can't find anything in the logs..
The card worked perfectly in both Ubuntu and Slackware... so I can't see why it shouldn't work in Arch..
Help : )

What is the actual solution to HomePlug + Infinity...

I had the Infinity service installed on Friday past 28th Oct and thought all was well!
Well it was untill I tried connecting my PC / PS3 / XBOX etc through the Solwise homeplugs NET-PL-200AV-PEW-N I'm using.
At the HH3 on a direct connection via cat5 I'm getting 28552 kbps down and 1626 kbps up.
Line stats via bt speedtester show line profile 31359 up and 2000 down.
Problem is that connecting through the homeplugs I'm only getting 3462 kbps down and 1684 kbps up
Now I've spent the last few nights googling forums etc in search of a solution yet I have been unable to find anyone who has figured it out, and has given up dumping the homeplug route for a wired setup!
TBH I have no intention unless as a last resort of putting in Cat wiring
Basically I'm starting to wonder is the issue caused by the HH3/BT Modem setup? "or" is the issue with the homeplugs?
Testing the homeplugs with the revelant software shows a connection speed between homeplugs of between 120 - 150 Mbps suggesting to me that isn't where the restriction is present?
I'm trying to figure out would buying a decent VDSL model like the Draytek Vigor 2750n connecting to the homeplugs solve it or are homeplugs really the issue?
ps. I've tried every suggestion I have come across so far.....moving the power supplies away from the modem/hh3 and the homeplug, turning off the wireless on the hh...
Surley there is a solution to this ?
edit: to add my HH3/Modem is not in the same room as any of the things I am connecting, I'm using a Solwise NET-PL-200-AV-PUSH beside the BT setup to distribute the connection around the house to 3 Solwise homeplugs NET-PL-200AV-PEW-N
And as well as the above I just cannot seem to get my iPhone4 to connect wireless to the HH3 entering the correct password just results in an error message saying "unable to join the network BTHub3-####
I have all the Solwise plugs and the HH3 broadcasting on Channel6

People seem ok on the 200Mbps see msg. #12 in THIS THREAD.
Mention about filters... HERE.
Slow HomePlug? Try A Powerline Filter
I'm stuck as I've never used them so leave things for Tony to help.
Edit and Wizzen.
Loads of people have used the higher speed ones so there must be a solution somewhere.
Good luck

Solution to getting sound back on your videos

The below solution is for Window users. If your Ipod videos were playing fine and then all of a sudden started freezing up and then plays with no sound, this solution will fix the problem. There is a problem with the last Ipod update (1/10). You need to remove that update. Here is how....
Click Start
All Programs
Ipod
Previous Updaters
Select the 10/12/05 update
Then Click Restore
This will remove the last update from your Ipod which is what is causing the video sound problem.
This will also remove all your files from your Ipod and you will have to put all your music and videos back on, but it will fix the problem. My videos are playing fine now. DO NOT INSTALL THE 1/10/06 UPDATE until Apple fixes the problem.
Hope this helps

Possible Solution to Speaker Sounds or Channels Cutting Out or Miss

I was playing Oblivion and noticed my 4. Xfi setup sounded odd ... checked in Creative's THX Setup control panel and it was set to 4., but when I checked the right front speaker I got nothing and it sounded like the right front was somehow being mixed with the two rear speakers ... very frustrating. This has happened to me before and there are a lot of posts from users who have experienced it as well. I think the last time I uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers to fix it but I didn't want to hassle with that this time so I tried something simpler first. I clicked on "Restore Defaults" in the Audio Console and now I'm getting all four channels again, from the correct speakers ... Not sure what setting made the difference, but I'd recommend trying "Restore Defaults" to anyone who has a missing channel ...

Hi
I may have the solution to slow performance when using multi core processing. I was testing out realflow 2013 and noticed simulations were talking a long time to finish when using maximum threads 32. I set the threads to 8 and the simumlation was twice as fast which did not make any sense to me. The simulation was taking 1min 24 secs to finish using 32 threads and 45sec using 8 threads. I realized their has to be a problem here. So I went into my BIOS and disabled Hyper Threading. So now instead of having 32 threads I only have 16 threads. When i went back to try the same simulation again this time the 16 threads was only taking 24secs to finish. and the 8 threads was taking 35secs to finish. This made a lot more sence to me.
Anyway so once I realized that turning off Hyper Threading fixed my simulation problem maybe it might be the cause of my slow performance in AE using multi processing. I tried AE and now multi processing is working great very fast now and stable. MP renders start right away now instead of getting stuck on frame 2 or saying initializing background processes and never ever doing anything. Before I had to keep disabling MP and re-enabling it in AE to get it to start working again and still it wasen't very stable
If anybody is having issues with slow performance from their Multi processor systems try disabling Hyper Threading in the BIOS it might just fix your problem.
Hope this helps

Actual solutions for C6380 black vertical lines ?

When copying or scanning on my C6380 all-in-one, black vertical lines that are generated from the hinge-side of the glass appear on my documents. While this problem has been posted and re-posted over and over again the only responses I've found have been to clean the glass and inside of the cover. I have done this several times. I have also reinstalled the driver and unplugged the power cable from the both the printer itself and the outlet. The lines do not occur when printing Pages or Numbers or web-generated documents. Any suggestions?
I have a hunch that the only solution is to put up with the lines or but a new copier/scanner.

[solution inside] Poor quality of DVD created with iDVD '08 (jerky movie)

Hi everyone !
I have a problem with the export of iDVD, the result is jerky.
Here's what I done
- filmed (cam sony 42E, DV)
- imported to iMovie '08, exported to the media navigator
- taken in iDVD and burned on a DVD simple layer in professional quality
And it looks like the movie is 15 images/s (but apparently no problem of sound)
I checked everything's in PAL (I'm in Europe)
I checked with another DVD
I checked the large selection in the navigator (720 * 540, H.264, 25 fps, 4Mbps)
I tried with "best performances"
I tried to cut the movie : 72 min -> 35 minutes
I exported just an image disc
Nothing fixed the problem
Finally, I exported from iMovie in .dv then integrated the file in iDVD and, this time the result was the same as in the preview (thanks to SkyDrinker for the tip)
So this is a solution, but this is strange :
or my iLife is corrupted, or the way Apple say to work (with conversion in h.264) is not good.
Did anyone else had the same problem ?
Thank you for your feedback.
Take care!

I had the same problem with jerky pans and dancing pixels particularly when using Ken Burns on stills.
Here is a solution. Save the 08 movies in Quicktime using AIC encoding then burn using Toast 8 with the quality slider set to best. The improvement in quality is substantial.
There is some improvement(not as much as using Toast) using Quicktime AIC encoding then burning with iDVD with Professional Quality and dual layered DVDs just to make sure the quality indicator is well into the green.
The disadvantage in using Toast as compared to iDVD is that the cool menus are lost.
PS: All my burning is done using NTCS but it should not make a difference.

[Solved] Decrypt files securely inside lxc container.

Hi, this is my first question, I've been using Arch for 5 years now, thanks for all your hard work!
I'm trying to setup an lxc container to securely view encrypted files(gpg keys encrypted with cryptsetup and a loopback device), I've done so already using cryptsetup, the only issue is that after I decrypt the device from inside the container, it is available from the host as /dev/mapper/name and I can mount it and view it's contents.
Is there any way to set cgroups to deny host and allow lxc container to access this device, maybe I can change /dev permissions so only root on host can access? I would prefer that not even root on host can access it but I know I'm asking too much, I can do this with qemu or other VMs but there is a lot of overhead.
If you happen to know of any way I can access files from inside lxc container but block access to host even if it is after mounting the device, I would like to hear you out.
I'm running an archlinux host and archlinux lxc container with grsecurity-pax enabled.
Feel free to ask any questions if it's not clear .
Thank you for your time, and kudos for your great work with this distro.

Also very interesting read about cgroups for anyone interested: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio … groups.txt
I'm wondering if there is any damage from doing this, since the data is backed up I guess I don't care too much and will test it for a while.
If anyone has any ideas or knows some cool feature I'm missing let me know.
Will mark as solved in 24 hours after more testing and in case something unexpected happens.
