Apparently I had to force the upgrade to Alsa 1.0.23 and all is well now ... almost :) How do I make Skype use Alsa instead of PulseAudio? - there's no option to change that in Skype audio devices properties, i.e. only PulseAudio is listed.

[ubuntu-uk] Sound problem in Sony Vaio VPCEC1S1E
Does anyone know how to fix the sound problem in Sony Vaio VPCEC1S1E? I've installed the backport alsa generic and can also see backport alsa specific for my kernel, but still no sound. Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit. Any help will be greatly appreciated - only have a couple of days before I have to either keep or return this laptop. -- Cheers, Dave -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Generally, this happens when an application which doesn't know about alsa/dmix/pulse/whatever system you're using takes over the sound card and keeps the sound card open. This means that no other application can output to the sound card, which was a major issue in linux previously, and is the reason why alsa/dmix/pulse/arts/etc were invented. Personally, I find that flash is the biggest culprit in this. Try closing a few applications, and when your sound starts working again, this is the app that's causing the problems. If it has sound configuration options, play with those (use alsa or pulse if available - don't use OSS - that's what causes the issues!) and see if you can find a configuration that stops this happening! signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] sound problem
I have experienced the sound disappearing from all my ubuntu intrepid systems. not sure why. i followed the tutorial here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 which fixed it. its not that i don't know linux. just was in a hurry. azmodie -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] sound problem
Next time the soundcard is locked, run this in Terminal: sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/* It will list the applications currently using the sound. Paste the output here, and we may be able to help out.

With my 8.10, under Fusion 2 on a Mac, the sound disconnects itself when I start up. I reset the settings but it just disconnects on the next startup. Sound on 8.04 is fine, same Fusion 2. -- Tim powys-lybbe ...@powys.org For a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Sound problem with Skype.
Hi. I have installed Ubuntu 7.04, Feisty Fawn. I also have installed Skype 1.3.0.53_API. I can hear the Skype testcenter, and I can hear myself speaking in the michrophone. But I cannot hear myself when the link changes, and where I should hear myself from the Skype testcenter. I use the onboard AC97 sound card, and it is also selcted when I look into the tools>option>sound devices. If I selecet System>Preferences>sound, all the tests are being ok. What could be the reason for the culprit ? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
