PulseAudio Fix in Ubuntu Hardy
Posted in Linux | 3 Comments »Bugs just wouldn’t stop crawling in Hardy, don’t they. PulseAudio in Hardy causes no-sound problems in certain applications which includes Flash plugin, Tremulous, RTCW: Enemy Territory, Skype, Teamspeak, etc. For Enemy Territory, RTCW and Quake 3, the fix can be found at http://nullkey.ath.cx/~stuff/et-sdl-sound/.
For other Flash plugin in Firefox and other applications, guides to fix these problems are available here. However, I still having sound problems in certain applications. So to resolve it, I did a few changes.
First, do the core fixes:
$ sudo apt-get install libc-dev
$ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14074201/libasound2_1.0.16-2ubuntu1_i386.deb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14074202/libasound2-dev_1.0.16-2ubuntu1_i386.deb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14369279/libasound2-plugins_1.0.16-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libasound2_1.0.16-2ubuntu1_i386.deb libasound2-dev_1.0.16-2ubuntu1_i386.deb libasound2-plugins_1.0.16-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
Then, create a file named /etc/asound.conf and paste the following configuration:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
Install the flash package AND libflashsupport
$ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14629821/flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.1.218ubuntu1_i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.1.218ubuntu1_i386.deb$ sudo apt-get install libflashsupport
Go to System -> Preferences -> Sound, change all settings to ALSA.
