Either the repos arn't enabled or it hasn't found its way to the repos yet.Theres a few apps that haven't trickled down yet.

Thats my guess.


edit:looks like Moebius snuck in before me.

Netdisk on samba share

I got a ext. HD on our local net used for pictures, music etc. witch I could not access from within Ultimate Edition 2.4.
I searched synaptic and installed:
samba (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5)
smbfs (2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5)

(not quite sure if I needed both, but now I can access with no problem) ;)

Blackwolf wrote:Karmic has a powersaving feature that can cause audible pops when your soundcard sleeps and wakes up, if you have an Intel HDA based audio device. The easiest way to test is to play some sound and then close all sound-making applications. Wait, and in 10 to 20 seconds, and your sound card should pop.

If that happens, you can test further by 1) checking that you have an HDA, and 2) disabling that feature:

Note to people searching the forum: Karmic only. Jaunty and earlier do not have this feature. So, if you're hearing clicks in Jaunty, you have a different problem from what I'm talking about here.


Open up a terminal. Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. Paste (Ctrl+Shift+P is paste in Terminal) this command in and press enter.

Code:

Code: Select all
cat /proc/asound/cards


It should mention "HDA Intel" For example, mine says:
Code:

Code: Select all
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xb0000000 irq 22


If you have an HDA Intel, this one will let you change the configuration:
Code:

Code: Select all
gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf


Enter your password.

Find the line that starts with
Code:

Code: Select all
options snd-hda-intel power_save


and type a # at the beginning of that line to disable it. Save the file, log out, log back in. Now, try playing a sound, closing all sound-making applications and see if the pop has gone away.

**just a note that after modifying /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf you can force the sound modules to reload without having to reboot by using the following command:

Code:

Code: Select all
sudo alsa force-reload


Hello Black Wolf, I thought this suggestion of yours would fix that popping sound I have, yes I do have the itel card with the hda power saving. I typed a # at the beginning of that line, still have that pop. I also tried a # and a space to match the line above that line with a # but no joy that way either. I will try the command above about force-reload. I am not use to using the terminal, is that code added while in the same terminal window as the above fix.

Should be able to use any terminal window - one you already have open or a new one.

If you have not "force-reloaded" - or restarted - then you would expect that nothing has changed. Like changing the ingredients in a recpie, the dinner that you've already made is not going to taste any different (but the next one will).

Blackwolf: This is the line that I have:
options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N

I am wondering what leaving the line in force but changing the N to a Y at the end would do; would it put this power-saving option into a control panel somewhere for us to adjust?

Also, instead of disabing to stop the pop every so often, would it be wise to instead change the 10 to a higher number? My thinking is that although a pop only seconds from the last one is highly annoying, one every minute or two - when not actively using sound - might in fact be quite tolerable. That is, if changing the variable from 10 to 60 (or 120) would still help at least a little insofar as those of us with laptops can get any additional time away from the charger.
