Audio Problems in Ubuntu11.04

Post by morety »

Hello guys, I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my fit-pc2i

then I followed the instructions here:
http://fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php/Insta ... buntu_9.10
to update the video drivers. Instead of karmic repository, I used lucid.

After reboot I tried to play a music file with vlc, but it was giving me errors. So I solve the problem by:
sudo chmod 1777 /dev/dsp
Although, I got my audio working in vlc, Banshee and gnome-mplayer, I am still experiencing strange problems like:
- gnome-sound-recorder - the microphone does not work
- gnome-volume-control returns:
** (gnome-volume-control:11081): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...

** (gnome-volume-control:11081): WARNING **: Failed to connect context: Connection refused
- skype also does not recognize the sound card at all

Code: Select all

I have just rebooted with the original Ubuntu 11.04 (I am not using the fit-pc Ubuntu version!)

Code: Select all

Linux fit-pc 2.6.38-10-generic-pae #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 16:54:49 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
and everything except the gnome-volume-control works fine.
