[SOLVED] No sound on music apps with pulseaudio

Hi. I just installed pulseaudio on my arch in order to get a higher volume out of my laptop. My DE is gnome, and totem seems to work perfectly with pulse, but neither banshee nor rhythmbox seem too like it. Banshee gets very unresponsive when trying to play a song, and never even shows the slider moving forward, or make any sound at all. Rhythmbox has a similar issue, but without the unresponsiveness...
I'm not very sure how to debug this issue, To install pulse I followed the instructions from the arch wiki, including the configuration for gstreamer: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pul … #GStreamer
Cheers!

Debugging would normally start with opening pavucontrol. What probably happened is that pulseaudio did not get control of your sound card, maybe some app plays sound before pulse starts. Or maybe totem itself grabs your sound card.

  • HT201210 my phone won't turn on after trying to restore it with iTunes what do i do??!! also it just has the blue music app with an arrow and power cord on it. HELP!

    My phone will NOT turn back on after trying to restore it with itunes. It just has the blue music app with an arrow & the usb side of the power cord on it.
    Help me please!!

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app with effecting icloud music?

    My music was taking up too much space so I joined itunes match, but the 6 gigs of my music is still on my ipad. How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app without affecting icloud music? I clicked to replace all music with icloud music. They both appear in Music and I don't see anywhere to remove all downloaded music. If I delete all music, I fear it will delete all music in iCloud. I assumed by joining iTunes Match that I would get the 6 gigs back for other items since my music should be on iCloud now. If that is not the case then I need to get my $ back for Match.

    Removing music from an iOS device does not remove it from the cloud.
    Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.

  • How do I transfer a free music app with music on it to another iphone with different icloud accounts

    My friend gave me his old iphone with a free music app on it and it had some music on that app well I just got a iphone and was wandering how to get that music and app transferred to my iphone with the icloud accounts being different

    Stealing is NOT the only reason to want to transfer music and paid apps from one account to another. 
    The family has been using one itunes account to purchase music and apps.  This account was set up under my user name.  I gave my wife my old ipad and got the 3-kids new ipads.  I want to give all of the music and apps under my user name to my wife's new itunes account so the family can keep using them and I can have a separate account.  Even if I have to re-pay for the music and apps. 
    Is it possible?

  • IOS6 using music app with itunes match

    my itunes match account contains more than 80.000 songs, approx. 2.800 albums - iOS6 the music app starts now each time to sync itunes match. This takes now more than 30 minutes untill the album list is on screen.

    I don't know what the issue is, have had it since I have had match, and am thinking of ditching it because of it.  Now, after deleting and replacing a whole slew of my music with the wrong songs, have the stuff won't play or download from match, even stuff I buy in iTunes. It's ridiculous. Apple should be paying me to be losing my media by using match. It's driving me CRAZY!

  • Why do lists flicker and jump in iOS Music app with iTunes match?

    I recently signed up for iTunes match.  I have a large library on iTunes on my Mac and I'm using iTunes Match to sync it to my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.
    However now every list in the iOS Music app now constantly flickers and flashes.  The album artwork flashes blank for a moment and then returns.  It's as if the list is constanly updating.  This happens about every 2 seconds.
    Even worse... in playlists the entire list jiggles up and down.  Again about every 2 seconds.
    Does anyone else have the same problem?   Is there a solution?

  • Music App with Both Chord and Solo Keyboards?

    For a while now, I've been looking for an iPad app that I'd think there'd be dozens of, but I've yet to find one.
    It would be a simple music composing app that lets you play a melody line on a keyboard while simultaneously playing a chord (via button or second keyboard) from a (modifiable) selection of chords. So, one hand composing melody, one finger (on the other hand) playing supporting chords.
    It seems like it'd be a fairly intuitive way to quickly save rough musical ideas, but maybe it's just me.
    Most of the apps I've downloaded let you make, play and/or record a sequence of chords, but there's no way to play a melody at the same time. I'd like the ability to control the playing of the melody and chords...tinker around with the combinations, you know?
    The closest I've found is "SongSynth," but that just plays a push-button chord off the same note you're playing on the (only one-octive) keyboard. What if I want to play a G note in the melody over a chord that isn't rooted in G?
    Anyway, hope this makes sense, and hope this app exists and you can steer me to it!

    I agree!
    It's hard enough to juggle earpieces, expensive hardware and belts (etc) for keys (etc) with software when exercising.
    Particulary since most running log apps can't control Playlists directly.
    Which to launch, then, start first…!
    The simpler and better-integrated such handling is, the better.
    It's tempting to think the changes are part of Apple's bigger plans to 'break up' iTunes, which has become unweildy, given all the functionality it's had to grow to encompass - when compared with a simple audio manager ten years or so ago.

  • Anyone else having trouble pairing iPhone music apps with the Aura BluNote?

    I have already treid all the suggested fixes from the Apple website.  Still no success.  The bluetooth speaker plays audio whenever I make a phonecall, but will  not when I try to listen to my music, pandora, or any other audio app.

    Hi John,
    Some of us were actually having major issues after the IOS 5 upgrade without music. Here is one solution.
    Altered from original solution from Emily P:
    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Sync
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • IOS 6.1.2 downloaded. lost sound on music app

    Can anyone direct me on how to get my sound back? I've rebooted, checked muting toggles, rebooted again. No success. This happened after I downloaded the upgrade. How can I fix or re download or go back to the earlier iOS rev?

    You can not revert to an earlier IOS.  Besides, your issue is extremely rare.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • [SOLVED] No Sound in Gnome - Problem with GStreamer?

    I've been using other distros for awhile, but this is my first time with Arch. Spent most of the morning getting it setup and now I'm pretty much done except getting sound to work I believe.
    So, not sure what info I should give troubleshooting wise, please ask if anything else is required. Alsa detects it fine, but gstreamer gives me the following error:
    No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.

    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] No sound from tv card with mplayer, only arecord/aplay

    So I finally got my Hauppauge 950Q usb tv tuner working with mplayer so I can see the video with this command:
    mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:norm=NTSC:input=0:device=/dev/video1:chanlist=us-cable
    but I can't get any sound unless I run this command simultaneously:
    arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 32000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay
    I assume I need to translate the arecord arguements into mplayer arguements, but I'm not really sure how.  Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks!

    sound not working on some apps does anyone knwo why

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.

  • Music interrupted during playback in music app, iOS 7

    Hi everyone,
    Since upgrading to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S, when a track that is playing in the music app gets to within a few seconds of the end, the sound gets broken up. It's exactly the same effect as what happens when you are listening to streaming audio online and the connection becomes weak. Repeated interruptions of a split-second each.
    The music breaks up and sounds choppy for the final few seconds of the track. I never had any problem like this with iOS 6 for the past year and a half. Now it happens at least 25-30% of the time during music playback.
    Almost all of my music is playing from iCloud, using iTunes Match, so this may have something to do with the fact that it is streaming. The problem happens regardless of whether I'm connected via 3G or Wi-Fi.
    Has anyone else out there experienced this? Any suggestions?
    If you haven't experienced this before I'll bet you can still imagine how frustrating it is. I was going to use the word annoying at first, but that's not nearly strong enough.
    Maybe there is a related read on here that I just haven't been able to find yet.
    Looking forward to resolving this, thanks!

    Another related problem that happens in the music app with iOS 7 is "skipping". Just like a badly scratched vinyl record, the app will suddenly stop in the middle of a track and repeat the last second (approximately) of the track over and over and over again.
    When this happens, it seems the only thing you can do is stop the track and start it again from the beginning, and hope that the skipping doesn't happen again.
    I was curious who else is had this problem as well, and have you found a solution?

  • Music app does not have the function to change the audio source.

    I use to change my audio source in my music app with the icon that looks like a triangle going into a rectangle i think it is call airplay, but it not there any more and what it is weir is that others app does have it so if i change my audio source in a video online it will change it in my music too..... Well i hope i could explain my self clear enough. Just put the airplay icon back in the music app. Thanks for your attention.
    Best regards
    Roger

    iTunes Radio is currently only available in the US - if you are in the US then try logging out and back into your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store, and if that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
