Thread: Problems with ALSA

I continue to tumble ubuntu 11.10.Now I have problems with audio drivers, the vlc or I gnomeplayer reproduce well the sound of the videos, it sounds like metallic noise, at first I was a vlc error ALSA, which I did was reinstalling two packages ALSA but I like anyway, if I put vlc in mono instead of stereo does not give me that problem but the truth is that is irritating, one option would be to install pulseaudio if I mistake not, have any other option?

Have you played with the levels? you can check in alsamixer (command) One option is pulseaudio, but that does not guarantee you be free of problems, I migrate pulseaudio few months ago, and I saw them and I want them to make it work, that if now is a delight, but this week I have begun to The audio recording backfire on the mic, and I managed to tune it until I almost throw the hair enhancing the incipient alopecia chasing me xDDD.

We have tried other players will not be that blames're ALSA and not have???because pulseaudio is nothing more than a server that uses ALSA to manage the physical device .I have alsa and pulseaudio me in my kubuntus / ubuntu ('d say it takes) and I have no problem playing audio, either from the Internet, either audio players or multimedia (audio / video) .

Usually, I have no idea what it was, just re-installed VLC and GnomePlayer and ready, having reinstalled ALSA, no idea what it was.If you do not mind I take the post to make other inquiries:


Is there a way to put the bin on the desktop and go USB drives and such when they connect? I have no noses to install Ailurus because it finds the repository when you update, I think there are several incidents in the wiki Ailurus.


Another thing, when the laptop is on battery power at least I have it but when they light several minutes, the screen lighting up a point and I have to lower it, any idea, once again, thanks for your help.
