[SOLVED] OSS4 + PulseAudio - Is it possible? [I am so embarrased.]
I like the sound quality of OSS4, and for some reason it seems to be much higher on my onboard sound card than ALSAs.
However, it bugs me that I still can't always play sounds from multiple sources, e.g. if Exaile plays music, nothing else will have sound anymore. It's even worse when it comes to Flash video, such as youtube, when once the video is run, I have to entirely close Firefox if I want to hear some music from Exaile again.
Is it possible to set up PulseAudio so that it takes OSS4 as input? If so, how? If not, why?
I've seen the wikis (both Arch Wiki and PulseAudio wiki), but they both explain how to do it through ALSA.
Any ideas?
Thx in advance

Did you tell these applications to use oss? Maybe they use Alsa as default, because Alsa is "standard"
Wintershade wrote:OK, so how do I get, say, GStreamer, Flash and some SDL game like Wolfenstein play the sound all at the same time through OSS?
I'm sorry, but after setting OSS up the way it's described in the Arch Wiki, I don't get the sound working that way.

I brought iphone 5s to local i centre in Armenia, they opened the phone and said that they can't solve the problem, is it possible to send it to US for repair ?
If some unauthorized shop opened the iPhone and attempted a repair, then Apple will no longer touch the iPhone. If they didn't attempt repairs, then Apple might be willing to service it, but only in the country in which the iPhone was originally sold. If that was in the US, then you will need to take the iPhone there yourself, or you will need to send the iPhone to someone you know in the US who can take or send it to Apple for service and then send it back to you. Apple will not accept shipments from outside the country.

[SOLVED]MPD, PulseAudio & Systemd/User
Since the advent of skype 4.3 I've had to switch to using pulseaudio. Things seems to be working fine except for the interaction between pulseaudio and mpd. My goal is to attain the same functionality as I had before when I was just using alsa. The main problem seems to be that the mpd daemon starts before pulseaudio. This means that when I reboot, for example, my music doesn't automatically keep playing. However if I toggle mpc (or open ncmpcpp and unpause) then it works fine.
What I have done
1) I installed mpd using the script found on the wiki
1a) copied ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf to /etc/mpd.conf and uncomment #user line so it runs as my user
1b) enabled the mpd service with systemctl so it starts on boot, as directed to from 1)
2) Applied the workaround detailed here to make pulseaudio play nice with mpd
From what I can understand this results in the mpd daemon using the /etc/mpd.conf file which mirrors my local one (but I think the process is still started as root?)
If I don't do 2) then I get a problem where if I try to open pavucontrol I get an error saying I'm unable to connect and the system feels very unresponsive. Two second delays navigating around in thunar for example.
fuser /dev/snd/* outputs
» sudo fuser /dev/snd/*
/dev/snd/controlC0: 440
/dev/snd/controlC1: 440
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: 440m
» ps aux | grep 440

quiv 2259 0.0 0.0 11668 2296 pts/0 S+ 15:23 0:00 grep --color=auto 440
For now I have added in
if grep -q "state: pause" /home/quiv/.config/mpd/state; then
mpc toggle
fi
to my ~/.xinitrc as a work around to get pulse and mpd to work together properly. However it doesn't seem to work all the time. If I leave my music playing then when I reboot the system with reboot it seems that somtimes the state is being saved as paused, and other times as play. I suppose I could just mpc toggle without checking, but I don't want a situation where if I happen to not be playing music that every time I reboot my music starts playing.
Other things I have tried are;
A) not using pulseaudio with mpd.
B) not using systemd to manage mpd. Instead I manually started it in .xinitrc and pointed it to my ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf file. I believe this means it runs as my own user instead of as root. When I did this I commented the username line and also undid 2) from above in ~/.config/mpd/mpd.conf
The problem with A) is that if I use alsa with mpd, mpd hogs my soundcard. My card becomes unselectable in pavucontrol and I cannot use it with pulseaudio., meanng no skype. The benefit of doing this (this is how I used to do it before I needed pulseaudio) is I have no problems with mpd's state being saved incorrectly.
The problem with B) is the mpdstate is saved incorrectly when for example I issue reboot. I can reproduce this by changing my currently played song then rebooting. When I boot back up mpd resumes playback from the previous session instead of recognizing the last thing I was playing. I had a search around on the forums and I found this issue which seems to describe what is happening. There doesn't seem to be a solution there instead a suggestion to user systemd (which I would like to do!) instead to manage mpd. Rasi's post details a unit file but I'm unsure what to do with this.
Looking at the wiki it seems like maybe I am supposed to provide this file so that it overwrites the default mpd.service unit. So I followed the steps listed there. First I created the directory /etc/systemd/system/mpd.d/ then made the user.conf file inside. I tried just putting the additional arguments in
[Service]
User=YOUR_USER
PAMName=system-local-login
I also remember trying to overwrite the entire [Service] section of the original by using
[Service]
User=YOUR_USER
PAMName=system-local-login
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd --no-daemon
because I think just adding the addtional parameters might not have worked. But I'm not sure on this point, maybe both ways worked. This seemed to work but I had the same problem as above. The state was still being saved incorrectly sometimes when I rebooted. I would get a previous session instead of the most recent change. So I tried the other method for overwriting systemd unit files and made the file /etc/systemd/system/mpd.service in which I pasted Rasi's entire unit file. This also seemed to work, but still the incorrect state problem happened.
At this point I didn't know what to try. It seemed like the only option left was to set up mpd using a local configuration and setting up a systemd/User session and managing it that way. The wiki indiciated that if I did it this way I would not have to use the method 2) above. However I was/still am hesistant about doing this. I'm new to arch and the systemd/User wiki page seems very intimidating. I worry that I will create problems that I won't understand how to solve using this method just for the chance that mpd will function correclty with pulse. However I seemed to have exhausted all my possible options so I thought whatever I'll try it anyway! I'm certain I probably haven't done it right however.
So once again I turned to the wiki to help me with setting this up. However I can't make sense of the article. I don't know if I should follow ONLY the Setup since systemd 206 or if I should follow both setup sections? I decided to follow only the first section. I use no DE so I commented out the
[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && exec startx
line in my ~/.zprofile. When I set up my system I followed the Automatic login to virtual console. I left this file alone, but upon second thoughts maybe I should have disabled this too? I don't understand if using xlogin-git to austoart Xorg, as described in the systemd/User page, requires me to get rid of this too. I think xlogin-git just starts Xorg so automatic login via getty should be fine?
Immediately when I boot in using systemd to manage my session I notice that there are problems. I don't think my environment variables are being sourced from .zshenv because my panel fails to load. If I kill the panel and load it again it works. This makes me think there is something wrong with the order of units started with systemd.
» sudo journalctl --this-boot --no-pager | grep -i panel ~
Jul 05 16:25:39 lorelai bash[494]: /home/quiv/.config/bspwm/panel/panel: line 16: : No such file or directory
Jul 05 16:25:39 lorelai bash[494]: /home/quiv/.config/bspwm/panel/panel: line 17: : No such file or directory
Jul 05 16:25:39 lorelai bash[494]: /home/quiv/.config/bspwm/panel/panel: line 18: : No such file or directory
In each instance panel is trying to do things based on $PANEL_FIFO which is exported from ~/.zshenv but it doesn't appear to be set at the time systemd starts things up. Apart from these problems, which are probably undoubtedly due to the fact I failed to set up systemd/User properly, I still have problems with mpd. The state seems to be remembered correctly now, however when I reboot I still have to toggle mpc for it to start playback. It seems to be the same problem as when I use setup detailed intially. I suspect perhaps once again there is something wrong with the order here. MPD starts before pulse so it doesn't find anything to play through, then once I issue the mpc toggle command pulse is started and all is happy.
A final note is that I was getting this error yesterday when using systemd/User
● mpd.service - Music Player Daemon

but it doesn't seem to happen anymore.
Also I have no idea if I'm even supposed to use it like this but
» sudo systemctl --user enable mpd ~
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Connection refused
I tried this because I was wondering if mpd was even using the correct service when using systemd/User. I thought perhaps it just was using the one in /etc/systemd/system/ instead of /usr/lib/systemd/user/. I'm still not sure about this.
In the end I've exhausted whatever I can think of. I'm sure I've done a lot of things wrong but I tried my best. Hopefully somebody knows what I've done wrong and can help me.

[Solved] VLC-Pulseaudio Volume Problem
Hello,
my problem is the following (using VLC, Pulseaudio, KDE).
If I change the volume in VLC, this volume setting with stick to the system audio settings even after VLC is closed. Example, I set the volume to 200% in VLC, the system volume will also stay set to 200% (you cannot see this, it will show 100% but actually it isn't) and audio in other programs will become weak quality while playback.
To solve this problem I have to touch the system audios setting slider and it will jump to the correct setting. Even VLC itself will stick to the previous now 'wrong' audio when I choose the setting inside VLC to put the volume setting at each start to 100%.
i guess it has something to do with VLC, because other video and audio players doesn't produce this problem.
I found a post from before who had a similar issue, but it did not help me.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155886
Thank you.
Last edited by alocacoc (2013-09-10 12:59:25)Is it this issue? Or does the fix given here solve the problem?
Clients alter master output volume (aka volume jumps to 100% after running application)

[Solved] OSS4 KDE Notifications problem
After reading a lot of great stuff about OSS4, I decided to give it a shot. I installed it and parts of it seem to work just fine, but I noticed that a lot of my KDE sounds weren't working. To make a long story short, for some reason OSS4 doesn't seem to be able to play Ogg Vorbis files on my system. Is this a problem with OSS4 or is there maybe something else I should be looking at? I have an extremely fresh install of Arch so I'm not sure what the issue could be if it's mine.
Thanks!
Last edited by Locri (2008-05-18 14:13:29)Another update, wine works fine too, so I figured I'd look directly at 'play'
Running play from the commandline gives me a good hint at what's going on:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:3985:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
ALSA snd_pcm_open error: No such file or directory
play ao: Could not open default device: error 5
play soxio: Failed writing `default':
So it looks like 'play' is trying to use ALSA rather than OSS. I've been looking around for configuration options of some sort, but nothing seems to be coming up. Could the package in the repositories possibly have been built without OSS support? Or is there possibly something else I'm missing?
Thanks again for the help.
Edit: Ok, I've made a custom compiled SOX package that definitely compiled OSS support and it's still doing the same thing >_<

[SOLVED]OSS4 and lib32 question
Well... I'm thinking about installing arch64 on my new notebook with some lib32 packages and in the wiki I noticed the for sound in 32bit application is needed lib32-alsa. In case I use oss4 is there something else needed for using sound in 32 bit applications?
Also a quiestion: I noticed that if arch=i686 the oss-linux-free package compiles libflashsupport.so and puts it in /usr/lib/. Will I have sound in flashplugin wiht oss4 if that step is not complited.

NVM I sticked to the chroot approach and I have no trouble with oss4 audio output.

But I have solved the problem. It was with windows. Under windows explorer --> tools --> Folder Options --> view tab. Uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types. This fixed my problem
Thank you all for taking time to help me.

[SOLVED]wlan0 up - Operation not possible due to RF-kill
Hello everyone.
I've encountered trouble trying to activate my wlan0 interface and I was wishing that someone here might be able to help me.
$ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
link/loopback
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether
3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether
My attempt at trying to activate wlan0 renders the following;
$sudo ip link set wlan0 up
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
Unblocking everything with RF-Kill does not seem to change much in particular:
$rfkill list all
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
$sudo rfkill unblock all
$rfkill list all
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Enabling/Disabling the wifi-button on my keyboard only changes the Hard Blocked-parameter of hp-wifi. The Soft block remains unchanged regardless of me trying to unblock all with rfkill.
The following is the output of dmesg | grep phy0

It is worth mentioning that this problem has remained persistent throughout multiple linux distributions that I've tried on my laptop. The Wifi works fine in Windows 7 but as soon as I switch to any linux distro it stops working.
I intend to put your advice to good use so any help would be very appreciated.
Last edited by FunkDojo (2013-12-05 13:02:45)As I can see you have two wireless interaces, when i see only phy0 with rfkill, it's maybe your hp-wifi that force to disable phy0 interace. I think if you blacklist the driver it might allow phy0 to be enabled.
Please download and install lshw available in the community repo and enter in a terminal :
$ lshw -c network

(Solved) MPD Pulseaudio client no sound
Hi,
I've installed MPD on my server, configured the music path I can play music on clients, but I don't have sound on client !
I've try audio_output HTTP and Icecast, I'm not interrested in these two solutions.
So I wanted to broadcast sound over network, so I leanrt about Pulseaudio, in my /etc/mpd.conf I uncomment the pulse sound card.
Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa in order to add my client IP
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=192.168.1.5
And start pulseaudio --start.
On the client edit the /etc/pulse/client.conf to add server ip address.
default-server=192.168.1.10
And started as well !
Message error on client :
User-configured server at 192.168.1.10 refusing to start /autospawn.
I simply want to broadcast the audio_outup in the server to the clients
How can I fix it ?
Thanks in advance.
Last edited by NeanderMarcl (2013-07-15 11:49:36)Okay, so it is a back end problem.
In Pavucontrol, go to the Output Devices tab and check the port pull down. Make sure yours is set for something rational. Maybe try all the ones that make sense. Also, go to the configuration tab and look at the various profiles. Make sure that it, too, selects something rational; If you are using built in speakers, make sure it is not trying to use HDMI.
Then, pop over to your favorite mixer and make sure all the controls are un-muted and that the volumes are up.
If none of that helps, post the output of
pacmd dump
pacmd dump-volumes
and of

[SOLVED] flash (pulseaudio) works but got quiet after update
Hi there,
Using pulseaudio, flash' audio output worked for me before `pacman -Syu` yesterday (last update was 2 or 3 weeks ago). Now there is still audio output, but it's very quiet. Really quiet. Like 2mm on the 10cm volume meter in pavucontrol.
The sound works flawlessly and waay louder with vlc. Of course I double checked volume settings, in flash, with pavucontrol and even alsamixer.
What has changed?
no ~/.asoundrc. /etc/asound.conf:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:
EDIT: tried turning it off and on again - and now it works. w00t

[Potentially Solved] Touchpad sometimes not detected possible IRQ.
Edit:
Potentially solved: since adding the below entries to my bootloader I have not encountered the issue, or it may be just a coincidence.
append to the boot line: i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset
I've been experiencing an issue for the last few years which has bugged me across two different brands of laptop, but has been very hard to debug due to how random the event seems to occur.
One in every 20 or so boots, the touchpad on my laptop (Lenovo Z500) is not detected; not just by X, but by the system as a whole, it's as if it has been physically disconnected somehow.
It will take a few good reboots for the system to detect it again, and the problem disappears for another few days/weeks
One strange thing I have noticed, is that when looking at the listing of interrupts during a 'failed touchpad boot', IRQ 12, which I believe is normally the touchpad, has vanished.
I'm not very clued up on these matters so I'm not sure how to start debugging this, and working out if the issue is down to my setup of the system or not.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks.

welcome to the forums. Please have a look at our forum etiquette, esp. at the "Pasting Pictures and Code" section.
The image you posted is too big, but only slightly, so I leave it there for now. You may want to look at these screenshot posting rules as well. -
[solved] Help troubleshoot Virtualbox hanging (possible btrfs related)
Sometime longer than a week ago I did not have this problem.
Yesterday I encountered it for the first time. Starting a windows 8 VM works all the way through the apps screen and then it just hangs. No way to quit virtualbox. Weirdly enough, Firefox is still working at this point but becomes unresponsive after a while as well. My WM (awesome) and terminals are unaffected, but kill/killall doesn't work.
On shutdown I see this error (first code box below). I have done btrfsck on all my partitions since then, still the same problem.
My pacman log for the past 10 days is in the second code box below. I have tried downgrading to linux-3.11.1-1 and 3.11-1 without success. 3.11-1 allows me to get past the apps screen, but once I open a document in the VM it becomes unresponsive again, so the bug is just being delayed.
This laptop is heavily used and no other unresponsivity was noted this past week prior to using VirtualBox.
Final point, I'm fully updated using [testing].
Any suggestions would be appreciated, I'm quite stumped at this point. Considering creating a new VM to test whether my image is faulty....

Last edited by ngoonee (2013-09-26 03:03:29)And after scratching my head with different kernels and rebuilding vboxdrv, I dug up an old VDI for this virtual machine and hey presto, doesn't seem to hang. Seems the btrfs errors were the symptom rather than the cause.

[SOLVED] MPlayer/Pulseaudio, No audio output
I can't seem to figure out how to make mplayer's "ao=pulse" option to work.
It works fine with alsa, but I couldn't find anything definitive on Google about what might be wrong. I think one of the problems might be that I couldn't find any errors in mplayer's output.
Here is the verbose output of an example file:

Is there something else I can check with the MPlayer feedback?
Also, I'm using mplayer-vaapi, but I took a look at its abs PKGBUILD and it didn't have any configure options disabling pulseaudio. At least I'm assuming the abs PKGBUILDs reflect the default options that the binaries come with.
Last edited by mellowmaroon (2013-04-14 05:26:07)You were right about it being muted through the PA mixer! I didn't think about that, and installed pavucontrol. I figure I'll try to learn how to learn to do it through pactl/pacmd sometime.
Though, I have "flat-volumes = no" so I have a kind of global maximum volume and normally can set other applications' volumes individually from within the program. Pavucontrol reflects MPD+ncmpcpp volume changes, but apparently doesn't seem to pick up MPlayer's application volume.
Is there any way to fix MPlayer so it's internal volume adjustment will be the same as what is under Playback in pavucontrol? Or if it isn't exclusive to MPlayer, is there any way to have all applications start at the 100% playback volume (not the output device volume)?
EDIT: Quickly found it! Haha I had "softvol=yes" in my config file, I think to try to increase the Alsa volume when I had that on. Thanks for your help anyway!

[SOLVED][GNOME] Pulseaudio doesn't start
Hey,
On cinnamon, pulseaudio starts on startup but with gnome3.8/3.6 pulseaudio doesn't start.
I always need to start it manually via `pulseaudio --start`.
Does someone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks!
But there wasn't such an entry so I have to add by myself
If someone is curious how I added it..:
1. Run `gnome-session-propertiers`
2. Click on `Add`
3. Fill in
`Name` with `PulseAudio Sound System` or something like that and
`Command` with `start-pulseaudio-x11`
Thats it!

Hey guys,
I've been trying for days to get pulseaudio to work in Gnome3... It doesn't seem to recognize my soundcard. When I run pacman -S gnomemedia-pulse, it asks if I want to replace testing/gnome-media with gnome-media-pulse and testing/gnome-settings-daemon with gnome-settings-daemon-pulse, which are obviously out of date. If I replace it, then booting into Gnome3 gives me a black screen.
If I ignore those 2 packages, I can boot into Gnome3 perfectly, sound just doesn't work
I've got an ASUS Xonar DX. Maybe it's not compatible?
Thanks!
Update:
Woohoo! Guess it wasn't a Gnome3 problem.
sudo modprobe snd-virtuoso got it working.

Uhm... you don't need gnome-media-pulse (which is in extra). Just gnome-media from testing. -
[Solved] Control pulseaudio with shell script via pacmd
Hi,
i wrote a shell script that switches between the internal sound card and an usb card as soon as i dock my laptop. The script is triggered by an acpi-event that's generated when the laptop is docked.
Everything works fine, if the script is run from the command line as the user that started pulseaudio. But if it's started by the acpi-event it can't connect to the pulseaudio server. it's run as:
su --login my_user -c "/usr/local/sbin/toggle-sink.sh"
where my_user is the user who started pulseaudio. i get the error:
No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
How can i fix this? Somebody has an idea?

Last edited by ccc1 (2013-01-05 11:06:03)PulseAudio uses some environment variables and X11 properties on the root window. You probably need a way to fake these.
Have you tried something like
export DISPLAY=":0"
In the script, so it knows on which display these values are stored?
You can also try running "pavucontrol" or "paman"(AUR) from the script, so it pops a window that is supposed to connect to PulseAudio. You might get a working pavucontrol window (which means pacmd and pactl should work), or a more detailled error message.
If this still doesn't work, you may also try running it in system-wide mode, so everybody has access to it including your script.
Maybe you are looking for
