Chuck, I admit that I always compile from source, I don't use Alban's packages, and I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, however one thing I've run into on HP and Dell computers with Ubuntu (specifically HP and Dell computers which are running the Intel based audio chipset, which is most of them)...
1. Kill off Pulse audio. Instructions here: http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Ubuntu_-_No_sound/sound_card_in_Rivendell_after_setup 2. If you are using ALSA, then in your /etc/asound.conf file, add a rate line and set it to the sample rate that you have picked in rdadmin --> System settings. After updating this file restart the Rivendell daemons. So if you're using 48000, put into your /etc/asound.conf file pcm.rd0 { type hw card 0 device 0 rate 48000 } ctl.rd0 { type hw card 0 rate 48000 } -The reason for the rate line - for some reason the Intel chipsets don't always like using the correct sample rate when Rivendell starts. At least in my case, putting the rate in the /etc/asound.conf file seems to fix it. Of course, check your rdadmin --> Hosts --> audio resources to see if the card shows up, and ensure that your outputs are set correctly for rdairplay, rdlibrary, etc. Lorne Tyndale > > > Folks, > > I have installed Rivendell 2.10.2 on a Dell Dimension pc with 2 Gb of ram > and Lubuntu 14.04, using the files from Alban and following Alban's > instructions.
