    No, in fact I was just installing it, following at the first time ad pedem literam. This is my second run, and I removed the reference to alsa-oss under your script line.

    But as far as I can tell you when you access sound properties under System>Preferences>Sound Preferences>Devices>Sound Capture [Test] it complaints about something like "cannot construct sound pipeline"... and renders Sound Preferences unresponsive... It is needed to restart XOR reboot to use sound againg.

    Do you think the package "alsa-oss" was causing the problem? I might remove it from the install command, it was only really included due to problems with RealPlayer and pre-Hardy problems between Firefox and Adobe Flash.

    Strange. This thread has moved from the top, to 2nd from the top, then down to the bottom of the "Sticky Thread" section and now it's 2nd from the top again. Weird huh?

    Nathan

    Edit: What a dummy, sticky threads do actually move up when posts are made. Not sure why it was at the bottom for a few minutes though.

    Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to

    So far. so good...

    The sound is working flawlessly...

    Perhaps alsa-oss, somehow, is messing up PulseAudio...

    Re: Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to

    Dear reassuringlyoffensive,

    Thank you so much for this how-to, you have made things incredibly easy indeed.

    I noticed a user on the first page of this thread called gfahey mention something about choppy 3D graphics with ATI. I was wondering if you know of a solution to this.

    Google Earth, and 3D games are choppy on my machine. I have a Dell Inspiron 6400, intel core duo, ati mobility x1300, 1GB ram. Straight after installing hardy, i went to ati.com and installed the latest driver for my card. I had this exact same problem with gutsy causing me to eventually stop using ubuntu for a while until a solution was found.

    I have a feeling it could have something to do with my processor. On my pallet I have put cpu freq meters for both cores and many a time they appear maxed out which is when my laptop gets a bit slow and juddery - just by doing simple things like scrolling down a webpage. Surely somethings wrong? When I play videos or google earth, both cores are constantly maxed out.

    Got any idea to what it could be?

    Hope you can help, many thanks in advance!

    Thank you

    Very informative, however VLC doesn't work. It will show the first menu and freeze. I have to force quit. How do I roll back the changes as it doesn't work?
    I installed VLC only using your guide.

    Manage to revert it back.

    VLC has lots of artifacts when playing back DVDs. How can I fix this?

    Not sure what's going on there, deinterlace should help with that. Does Totem play them well? If not, it could be your video driver. If the problem is just with VLC, give Totem Xine a try, if it works well and with menus, make it default with:


    sudo update-alternatives --config totem

    Then navigate to Places>Computer>Edit>Preferences>Media>DVD Video and select Totem again.

    What drivers are you using? Installing them with ENVY should cure your problems:
