Re: How to find out what app is hogging the soundcard
On Thursday 08 November 2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Does anyone know how I can find out which app is using or hogging the > soundcard? Try running fuser /dev/snd/* and see if you get any clues. For example, I get: /dev/snd/controlC2: 22203 /dev/snd/pcmC2D0c: 22203m /dev/snd/pcmC2D0p: 22203m /dev/snd/seq: 4698 8673 22200 22203 Then you can look at what the processes are in various ways. Keeping it in the command line realm, you'd ps 22203 and see PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 22203 ?SLsl 34:02 /usr/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -dhw:2 -r48000 -p256 -n2 -S that JACK is hogging /dev/snd/controlC2 on my box. I have no bliffin clue what any of the names in /dev/snd mean, but this can still be helpful for rooting out the card hog. -- D.

I think Musix is the only distro that can make this claim. Your most likely scenario is you don't have any hardware MIDI playback capability, and you need to run, eg.

New to the list . . . with questions
Hi there! I am a high school technology teacher. My classes are desktop publishing, webmastering, 3D computer animation, and multimedia (digital sound and video). We are using Ubuntu Studio. For the most part it rocks. I have three packages that I want to use, however, that have issues. Rosegarden = I don't hear anything = I have tried many things! (It works on my Musix live CD) Audacity = It is fickle about playing sound . . . sometimes it works and sometimes it says "error when opening sound device." (this works on my Musix live CD too) And . . . I want to install Cinelerra. I installed it on my laptop at home, but cannot install it here at school. It lists a bunch of dependencies but says they will not be installed. Yikes! Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Actually the first output from non-Realtime priority is from the messages in jack control. jack crashes silently in jack control with Realtime priority. So I went to the command line to get some output. Thanks for your help.

jackd crashing
Hello, I am new to Ubuntu Studio. Not new to Linux audio. I love Ubuntu and the possibility of this distro looks amazing. The install is great. The look and feel is great. Good work to everyone involved. Now my problems with my Dell Inspiron 1501 AMD64 Dual Core Turion have been constant from the beginning, but overall I like the machine. But the reason I have a laptop is for studio work and I have never really been able to get this to work with jack properly. I am running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu Studio. Right now I have jack running with no Realtime priority. jackd -v -d alsa I can't get any sound at all. Connected fluidsynth with a soundfont I know works on a 32 bit system to vkeybd. Connected and rechained properly. No sound. I know the soundcard is working. Even if just from the sound at system startup. And of course the messages output on jackd are the following which is bad I'm pretty sure. 12:16:24.568 XRUN callback (17 skipped). 12:16:26.645 XRUN callback (16 skipped). Then if I try to start with Realtime priority. It just core dumps. I can't actually find the core dump, but it dumps. :~$ jackd -R -d alsa jackd 0.103.0 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others. jackd comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the file COPYING for details JACK compiled with System V SHM support. loading driver ..

New splash screens
I upgraded from Feisty and everything worked straight away with no problems to my system. I have now got a Nvidia splash screen that I did not have and after the sign in screen my monitor shows a blank desk top colour as it loads the desktop in till my wallpaper is used. Can I get rid of the Nvidia splash screen and change the horrible colour of that loading screen? I am a novice so I am afraid you will have to guide me through the steps.

One answer in one of these mails was: all UbuntuStudio's packages are nowadays in the official Ubuntu repositories, so there is no need for a separate repository anymore. You should be able to upgrade to Gutsy simply by replacing archive.ubuntustudio.org with archive.ubuntu.com. Then a normal dist-upgrade should be entirely possible.
