Sound Solution and the middle click on registration

Hello world! - well, Arch forum, anyway.
I've installed Arch successfully - finally - and I'm looking forward to using it. I work with multimedia, and this will be my main focus on "getting things done".
I have a few items for feed back to the maintainers of the installation page - which in itself was quite help, however I had to do a reinstall after hitting the boot section of the instruction sheet because I was missing a 1 GB partition that wasn't clearly described at the partitioning section. I know it said that this partition could be anywhere within the first TB, which in my case was anywhere on my disk, but just to keep things tidy I wanted to put this at the beginning of the partion table to avoid having to dance around it later with zfs and what not.
This first time I attempted to install Arch was about a year and a half ago. I had to give it up because no mater how hard I tried - I just couldn't get sound to work on my system.
This time, I didn't create my users for the daily drive until I had a zfs partition up and running. While I was doing this, I was also testing the system - as root of course - and I was extremely happy with the performance and that sound and video worked straight out of the box. However, when I created my users, I couldn't get sound to work for them. I booted up as root and sound worked again - then I switched to a regular user and sound worked. Rebooting and logging directly into a user account - sound did not work. I'm running an E17 set-up, and the toggle check mark to unmute the speakers/sound card was not available. Only after activating the sound system as root was I able to control sound as user afterwards.
To solve this I removed "audio" from all of the users groups - now sound can be controlled flawlessly - well as far as the users can tell. This was obviously the source of my problems with my first attempt at installing ArchLinux.
Also when registering I was asked what was the outcome of:
date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'
I highlighted the answer from the terminal I was running, and - being the UNIX geek I am - middle cliked the answer into the answer field. Unfortuntately, the answer was wrong. After several attempts -double checking my work all the way through - the answer was always wrong. But then I right clicked the long answer and pasted this into the field then the answer was accepted.
I beg your pardon for mixing a few elements into the post - but I hope this also helps new users to Arch.
So, now I'm here.
Pleased to meet you.

I think middle-click should have worked.

  • I can no longer scroll anywhere on the page by clicking on the red mouse pointer and the middle mouse tab on the laptop

    Prior to upgrading to version 4 of Firefox, I was able to scroll anywhere on a page by holding the red mouse button and the middle mouse tab on my laptop. Now, in order to scroll on a page, I need to click on the sliding bar at the right of the page whereas, I was able to do both before the upgrade.

    Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
    I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts itself. If still problems, Restore iPhone again with iTunes on computer. If you have trouble, put iPhone into Recovery Mode. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click Restore button of iTunes.

    Open the Security pane of System Preferences and set it to require a password to unlock each secure pane. This is designed to stop people using the computer from changing the settings and won't do anything if an issue on the computer itself causes the change.

  • How do I get my hotmail to open in a new tab instead of a new window and I've tried the middle click/ctlr option.

    MSN is my home page and when I click on the hotmail link in the top left hand corner of the page it always opens in a new window even if I press middle-click/ ctrl keys. The hotmail link is the only link that I have had this problem with thus far. Can you help me correct this problem?

    Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • Sound stops in the middle of playing a movie

    I am having a problem that started approximately 2 or 3 months ago with my 3rd Gen Apple TV.  We will be watching a movie that is being streamed off a laptop or desktop that is sharing movies via iTunes sharing, and the sound will just stop working in the middle, but the video continues to work.  I have tried things like making video a priority on my wireless network, plugging the apple TV directly into my laptop via network cable, and even reloading the Apple TV via iTunes.  All I have to do is go back out to the main menu, and start the movie again, and the sound will work again for a little while.  I also tried changing the sound settings someone else mentioned in another discussion, but that didn't appear to fix this.  This seems to happen around every 10 minutes, and is getting pretty annoying.  Any thoughts?

    Sounds as though your AppleTV has issues with maintaining a stable wifi connection - this may be due to interference from neighbouring networks, microwaves, cordless landline phones and so forth.
    AppleTV location may be poor for wifi connectivit, rarely AppleTV may be faulty.
    While your laptop connection may be more stable it does not imply AppleTV should behave exactly the same as they may have different wifi chips/antennas etc - I often find some devices are better than others in teh same location.
    The problem is that AppleTV 2/3 have no permanent storage only temporary memory.  The original had a hard drive and could store rentals until they expired - AppleTV 2/3 tend to need to redownload them when there are issues.
    If you fail to watch teh movie at all because of such issues contact iTunes store:
    Apple - Support - Product Selection
    You may be better off renting in iTunes on the laptop and then playing back on AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library>Rentals.
    Rentals made in iTunes will be available on the LAN to AppleTV once they are FULLY downloaded.  iTunes and AppleTV need to be enabled for Home Sharing, and laptop needs to be on with iTunes running.

Between the hassle of replacing a hard drive, mouse problems, firefox, opera, office mac and elgato tv problems and issues im fed up.

    Apple menu -> System preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse should give you controls over the mouse. If not, either Steer Mouse or USB Overdrive might give you better control.

  • Sound quits and the video keeps going

    When playing movies or TV episodes on the Apple TV 2 the sound will stop randomly, but the video keeps going. I will have to stop the video by going out to the menu and then resume the video to get the sound back.
    Apple TV: v4.4.3
    iTunes: v10.5.1

    I found that this is only an issue with files that have bee purchased from iTunes. It is easily reproducable, as it happens in the same spots each time. You can also just rewind the video a little bit and the sound will start again.

  • With the last update two days ago, when you load firefox the top half of the screen is burred and the middle is an black box....why, how can this be fixed

    I started firefox and it said it was downloading update. After the download the screen came back with the top half blurred and an open black box in the middle. What happen? Is there a fix?

    This could be caused by an incompatibility between Firefox 33 and your graphics card/chipset drivers. Please disable hardware acceleration as a temporary workaround. Step-by-step directions in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438
    Does that work?

  • Why is my iPad 2 volume going in and out? Sometimes it says sound effects and the squares on the volume aren't coming up. I've tried everything.

    Why isn't my IPad 2 volume going In and out? Sometimes the volume squares won't come up and when I have headphones in it doesn't work the volume will work for 1 second amd then boom it's gone again! I've tried updating, restarting, and the mute bottom isn't on I've tried everything, but nothing is working. Can someone please help thank you.

    I have the same issue that the international keyboard (globe icon) is not accessible once I updated to ios 7.  I am attempting the restore from iTunes, but receive:
    "Find My iPhone must be turned off before “xxxxx iPhone 4S” can be restored." 
    Of course, I am unable to access this setting on the iPhone.  From my Mac I entered iCloud and tried changing setttings and erasing the phone from the Find My iPhone there, but it did not turn the feature off on the phone.
    Any suggestions?
