User has no sound

I installed alsa and I have sound as root. But I get no sound as a user. I added myself to the audio group. When I run alsamixer as root, it works. But when I try to run it as user I get:
"aslamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"

Nevermind. I had to log out and back in again so that the audio group was loaded. Everythings working now.

  • I Phone 4 S has no sound with IOS 8

    I have an 32 Gig I Phone 4 S that has no sound sine I upgraded to IOS 8.  No resolution after 4 subsequent IOS 8 updates.  Thought I could down grade to IO 7.  I am told that is not possible [why not?]
    I have done:
    [1] full factory restore and latest download of IO 8... I have done this 3 times
    [2] I have done full factory restore and set it up as new phone and before I imported a single app or even a contact, had same sound issue.
    Apple, you said IO 8 would work on my phone.  It does not [diagnostics say my phone is fine]
    IOS 8 does not work on my iphone 4 S.  I have had no sound and thus no turn by turn directions, no music, no you tube, no online streaming of any sound since September 17th.
    I am the usual story of the resurgence of Apple, I bought an I Pod, then an I phone, then a Mac Mini, Macbook pro and even an Apple TV.
    If I google "problems with IOS8"  I get 99,500 hits.  There are 82 pages alone of comments about wifi issues with IOS 8.
    Apple, you broke my phone with your software update, please fix it or replace it.  It is not OK to treat a good customer like this.  If you something that isn't yours, it is common courtesy to fix,replace or pay for it.   This is something we teach children.

    Well, Apple does not participate in the forum, so they will not hear all of the things that you have asked them to do. If you restored the device as new and tested it with no content added and it was still not working correctly, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple store to have the hardware checked. Then when there you can tell the Genius everything you wanted to tell Apple here, about the number of Google hits you received, the fact they broke your phone and want it fixed or replaced. and that you feel they should not be treating you like they are. If you want to tell Apple all of this prior to your appointment, you can go to their feedback page HERE, and click on the appropriate link. Otherwise, this is a user to user forum.

  • How can each user maintain their sound volume setting?

    In Snow Leopard and recent updates to Leopard, when a user sets the sound volume, it also affects the setting for other users.
    It used to be that when switching back to another user, the sound level was put back to how that user left it.
    How can this behaviour be restored?

    If the installations were registered, then Adobe may be able to help. However, as far as I know there is no way to get the number from the current installation. This has been asked many times before and that is the answer I have seen.

  • The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip.  Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?

    The new 338S0987 chip from cirrus logic, used in the new 4s has inferior sound quality to the old cs42L61 chip found in the 4 and 3G.  Can the 338S0987 chip be improved?
    The new chip is very compressed and has hissing artifacts.  It sacrifices sound quality for reduced energy consumption.  This is a problem for me because I am building a musical instrument app that is adversly affected by the new cirrus logic chip.  Audio fidelity is suffering.
    Is there any chance for a software/driver tweak of this chip, or my I please request an improvement on the next iphone model?

  • My iPhone 4S has no sound for videos.

    My iPhone 4S has no sound for videos. Only videos though, and no matter the source. I can't hear my own videos I record, videos from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. I'm operating on 7.0.2. No, it's not muted with the side button but I can't figure out why it's not working.

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • See if a user has a record open

    Hi all,
    We have been caught out by two users editting the same form (BP/Quote etc) and of course losing the actions of one user as it isn't until they ty and update the form that they are told that it cannot be done due to another user.
    Is it possible to see if a user has opened the form or has it in edit mode - at which ever point SAP locks the record so it can't be updated by anothe user?
    We don't mind if its just a query that updates a search define that updates a UDF, as long as we can see that the record is open already - or is there an easy way we are not aware of?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Matthew

    Matthew,
    I understand that this can be frustrating at times but the whole purpose of a multi-user environment is the possiblity for multiple users to use the system at the same time.  Transaction are no different as there could be different departments accessing the same transaction but it is the way SQL works that two people cannot edit the same transaction.
    The first user who updates the transaction change the current values and the data on the screen of other user has already changed and thats why you get the message " Another user modified table ..."
    Unfortunately there is nothing you could do about it for now.

  • How to find out which user has the permission to execute startsap ?

    Hi All
    How do I find out which user has the permission to execute the startsap and stopsap? Do I control the permission on those script using windows standard authorization? For example: only allow certain user have the read and write permission?
    Thank you.!
    Vincent Lo

    Well to me this is really weird question..
    <b>noone un-authorized should have access to OS on your system</b>
    If this is valid you do not need to solve problems who can and who cannot start/stop SAP, because if you want to prevent some users from shutting down the SAP you have really hard job to do - there are many ways how to kill the SAP (for example killing relevant process from task manager, killing of database, messing with services etc.) - yes, this is harmful way of stopping SAP, but we are talking about attack, right? I would contact some Windows specialist to help you disable all the ways how to harm the running SAP. But still after that - there are many files that can be modified/deleted so SAP will crash after restart - you need to protect them too, etc.
    In case you take the first assumption as granted (and you really limit access to this server) you do not need to worry who can stop or start SAP - at the other hand it may be handy to be able to start/stop SAP from other users - for this you can run the stop/start script "under different user".
    But to answer the question - to me this is question just of access control (but really never tried that myself):

  • SPEL? make REASON field required if user has changed the value in SALARY

    I have a requirement to make REASON field required if user has changed the value in SALARY field. Is it possible using spel? what are my options?

    Karan,
    You can change the Rendered Property through personalization.
    But in your requirement you need to attach the Spell through personalization & extend the existing CO to set the value of the SPELL based upon the condition.
    Note - Refer this thread http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2176729&tstart=0. If you have worked on SSHRParams kindly help the user.

  • Webdynpro - Check if a portal user has a user in R/3 Backend

    Hi Experts,
    i have following problem, and maybe some of you can help me out with an idea or (much better) a solution:
    Our Company is running an Enterprise Portal on NW2004s (SPS 18). Currently i am developing a Java WebDynpro Application for the portal called Transactionstarter. Withhin this application a portal user can simply add a backend System (R/3), a transaction and a Description. This information will be stored in a xml file in userhome in KM. When the user clicks the description, SAP WinGui will open with the transaction he defined before. We use SSO for opening the transaction if the user has a backend user. If not, the loginscreen of the backend will appear.
    All this works fine.
    Now we have the requirement for an automated system check.
    The portal user can run an initial system check. This system check should check all configured backend systems if the portal user has a user in R/3 backend.
    But how can i check if my portal user exists in backend?
    I cannot use JCO because we have a lot of Systems (more than 300 all together) and i don´t want to create a destination for every system. Or did i misunderstood something with JCO?
    Does anyone of you have a solution, how i can check every system, if the portal user has also a backend user?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Pascal

    Hi Pascal,
    with JCO you can use also the method JCO.createClient:
    public static JCO.Client createClient(java.lang.String client,
                                          java.lang.String user,
                                          java.lang.String passwd,
                                          java.lang.String lang,
                                          java.lang.String mshost,
                                          java.lang.String r3name,
                                          java.lang.String group)
    Creates an instance of a client connection to a remote SAP system (with load balancing)
    Parameters:
    client - SAP logon client
    user - SAP logon user
    passwd - SAP logon password
    lang - SAP logon language
    mshost - Host name of the message server
    r3name - Name of the SAP system
    group - Name of the group of application servers
    Returns:
    the newly created client
    for connections to other systems. So you can avoid to create destinations

  • How do I sign my VB / VS 2010 based shared COM add-in for Excel so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?

    My COM add-in is developed using VS 2010 and VB. It's a shared COM add-in (not VSTO) and it works with Excel 2007 - 2013. My installer is signed with a code signing certificate but it would appear that my add-in's .dll should also be signed if the user has
    checked the "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher" option.
    The "Sign the assembly" option is checked in my add-in's VB -> My Project -> Signing. I have a .snk file selected which I seem to recall generating 6 or 7 years ago when I ported the COM add-in from VB6 to .NET. 
    I have an up-to-date Comodo code signing certificate (a pfx file called MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx) which I purchased to use with the installer and was wondering if and how I could use this.
    I tried selecting my pfx file in the My Project -> Signing -> "Choose a strong name key file" dialog. It made a copy of the pfx file in my project folder but when I tried to build the project, I got the following error:
    Error 1 Cannot import the following key file: MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the
    following key container name: VS_KEY_C0B6F251F0FB6016
    After a little research, I found out I might be able to use signtool to sign the dll in a post-build step.
    I added the following command to the post-build event, before the command I use to regasm the assembly.
    "path to signtool\signtool" sign /f "MyCompanyCodeSigningCertificatePrivateKey.pfx" /p "xxxx" /v "$(TargetPath)"
    When I built the project, the dll appeared to get signed (the output window showed a bunch of confirming text as well as "Successfully signed: c:\MyAddIn\bin\Release\MyAddIn.dll") but the next step in the post-build (regasm myaddin.dll /codebase)
    issued a warning RA0000 (see below) but reported "Types registered successfully".
    Here's the message I get from regasm, even though the output window says the dll was sucessfully signed:
    RegAsm : warning RA0000: Registering an unsigned assembly with /codebase can cause your assembly to interfere with other applications that may be installed on the same computer. The /codebase switch is intended to be used only with signed assemblies. Please give your assembly a strong name and re-register it.
    Types registered successfully
    I'm not using a shim if that makes a difference.
    How do I sign my add-in so it loads when the user has checked "Require application add-ins to be signed by a trusted publisher"?
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
    There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
    How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
    How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.
    You may also find the
    What's the Difference, Part Five: certificate signing vs strong naming article helpful.
