Well, do I look like an idiot now.......

I thought I had been careful, but I take them all out and it works. I think I found the culprit though - .config/totem

Thanks again for your time and patience.

Hi markbuntu,

Thanks very much. Your sound installation steps solved everything and I am able to hear everything in my usb headphones. I have searched many threads but no one seems to have formulated such a nice set of instructions. The pulseaudio device chooser did the trick. Thanks a lot..............

I have installed all the packages but get stuck when it comes to opening volume control in PulseAudio. It comes up saying, Error, connection Faile: Connection Refused. I am running Xubuntu, and am having trouble getting 5.1 surround sound. I had a Realtek audio driver for my onboard sound when running Windows.

Thanks.

Ok i have ubuntu 8.10 and i have the latest of wine and all that stuff. I am new to ubuntu so im not well educated in it but want to. I have a 5.1 speaker sistem and my dound card is Dynex. yeah i know its a poor card but hey. Anyway the problem is this, I have sound on all speakers but the center. I have to turn all cvalumes up to hear the sound. I know if the center one is working right there is no need to turn everything up so loud.


Please help me get the full system working

Not exactly sure but I had to do the same with Debian 5 i386, bigmem & amd64. Works fine now.

I'm trying by no means here to be negative, to rant or anything.....but....

I've been trying to get my hercules RMX dj-console to work in Intrepid, to no avail, until I uninstalled Pulse.

Using just alsa lets me select my RMX now through 'asoundconf set-default-card RMX'

In 'system-preferences-sound' I select alsa as backend and got it to work after a lot of trying with pulse installed and enabled...

I'm not trying to start a endless discussion here by the way, but I do feel that uninstalling pulse can also be a solution to soundproblems.

JFYI

I will ask my question and hope for the best. I have spent a lot of time chasing around the various details of fixes and feel close....... yet the cigar is elusive.

I have zero sound with Intel HDA and Realtek ALC 268. I have read through and tried to get all the packages but cannot find non-free-codecs so don't have that. Not sure how to enable mediubuntu which may lead to the codecs not being found. Got in all the other 'good' packages and punted the bad.

I am to the point where streaming radio in rhythmbox if I go to the pulse audio icon for the applet I see input coming through on the pulse audio volume meter. However on the pulse audio volume control under playback, input devices and output devices I have red x's on the speakers. If I click the speakers the text fades as if that is when it should be muted. When I click again the text comes bold again but the red x remains.

Anyone who could help that would be much appreciated.


ps sound is fine in XP and the laptop is a Dell Vostro 2510.

Thanks
