Sound Problem

Postby IchimaruHishiyasu » Wed Jan 07, 2009 5:27 am

Hello there,

i'm completely new to linux so i want to apologize for every stupid/newbie question before i begin...

I installed the Ultimate Gamers Edition 2.0 yesterday and everything went quite smooth.
I got Teamspeak to work, tested 2 Videos (wich also worked) and out of curiosity i tried to launch a game with wine from my windows partition without installing it, wich didn't work, as expected. (One actually started until main menu but all the buttons in it and the sound were missing)

Today i tried to play an audio file, the player opened but then went grey and i had to force quit it.
So i tried another one and 2 video files (also a file, wich worked yesterday), but none worked, all froze.

Under system>preferences>Sound every time i test something there, i get an error.
Like at autodetect:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument
or at ALSA:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not get/set settings from/on resource.

At the hardware testing thing, i can't here any sound either.

Funny thing is, Teamspeak is still working and the starting sound plays, too, but other than that i dont hear error sounds and all music/video files freeze.

I'd really apriciate a bit help. =)

Thanks for the reply,

pulse audio didn't work yesterday.

I now booted Linux to be sure, that i tried pulse audio and... i had sound...
Music/video files do play.
After starting Teamspeak the files won't play any more, closing ts and the files play once more normal.
In the sound preferences it's a bit weird... If ts is running, i only get errors or the testing window opens but no sound is played.
If i use autodetect without ts running, sound is played, pulse audio and ALSA seem to work always (without ts running of course). All the others devices do work only sometimes(except HDA Intel ALC883 Analog (ALSA), wich doesn't work at all). O.o
After HDA Intel ALC883 Analog (ALSA) puts out an error and that long error sound (that thingy with the stress pill >.>) plays, all devices except pulse audio and ALSA also produce an error. After the error sound ended, the other devices seem to be OK once more.

Hope that was understandable...
I'm really a bit confused now. :P

edit:
I still don't know why the sound refused to work yesterday and why it does work sometimes today...

Something else to bear in mind:
Unless you have desktop effects disabled, Compiz Fusion might cause conflicts.
While this is most noticeable with video intensive packages, depending on the system, due to processor load it might cause other issues as well.

It seems like an ts related problem, because i found quite some sides talking about ts blocking every other sound.
There is an Sound and Teamspeak 2 Howto which i will try.
