While this may turn out in the end to be pure FUD, when I hear about things which work properly when run by hand but not when run automatically on a modern Debian system, my first suspicion is always that the culprit is the systemd / logind / whatever-it-is "user session" concept. In this case, my guess would be that there's a session being set up when you log in which puts in place the necessary configuration, access permissions, or the like to make it possible for play to do what you need it to do - but for a command invoked from the crontab, no such session has been set up (or whatever session is set up doesn't supply the same configuration), so play can't produce any audible output. Another thing I don't do is run systemd, so I'm not in a position to even figure out what you'd do to verify that, never mind test possibilities for myself. Again, this might be a complete false trail and nothing but unfounded FUD, but it *might* be worth checking out. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Debian 9 cron = sounds are ok : Debian 11 cron no sound
People occasionally have a cron job emit some sound each hour. On my Debian 9 machine I hear Biff [1] barking. In /etc/crontab I have an entry to call a script bark.sh which does the barking. Typically 0,1 0,12 * * * rprice full-path-to/bark.sh 12 2>>&1 where bark.sh is a Bash script which calls /usr/bin/play to play a .au file. This ran for years with Debian 9.

Disable knotify sounds using xfce
Hello all, I use Xfce, but I also like having a few KDE apps installed (namely, k3b, konquest and a few others, but the problem here pertains to knotify in general). I haven't the full KDE desktop and I don't want it. I'm on a up-to-date stretch/sid amd64. When playing konquest, for example, each time a dialog pops up, knotify plays a sound regardless of my sound volume settings (worse, it raises the sound volume). There used to be a systemsettings command I could run from terminal to adjust those KDE settings, but now the command is systemsettings5 and the window it shows does not include icons to manage sound settings anymore. It only contains three icons: shortcuts under Workspace section and Settings + Connectivity under Network section. Needless to say, they aren't what I need. How do I tell KDE apps to avoid playing sounds on notifications?

You probably need an audio reproduction system with more gain (external to the computer). I have one computer with a Logitech system, consisting of two small speakers and a subwoofer, which has its own amplifier and tone control Another computer I use is connected to a true hi-fi audio system, with a stereo amplifier and two large floor-standing speaker cabinets. This second one really sounds excellent, and the Logitech system sounds pretty good. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. A.M.

Re: Kaffeine and Amarok don't play any sounds and crash
Not sure if it is related, but I rebuilt my machine with Debian amd64 (sid) last weekend, and just installed Amarok last night. I noticed that it seemed like every 3 or 4 songs, it would crash with a signal 11. I'm going to dig into it tomorrow, but hearing that you are havning issues with it and (presumably) with Pulse may push me into nuking it off of the system. 2012/1/14 Grześ Andruszkiewicz > Hi, > > I am running (up to date) Debian Testing and recently I have issues > with Amarok, Kaffeine and all Xine based players - they fail to play > any sound.

How to let Alsa actually mix the PC speaker beep with other sounds?
Hello, I recently switched to playing music directly on my notebook instead of another computer somewhere else. This notebook runs Debian Testing with Xfce 4.8 and a self-compiled kernel 3.0. I can set the volume level of the system beep (which occurs, for example, if you open a terminal and press backspace) using alsamixer, as I have a control called ‘Beep’ there. If I set a volume level unequal zero and unmute that control, it will play a high-pitched, acceptable sound every time I press backspace. Disabling the control will play a lower-frequency, louder sound. I like both sounds and don’t mind which of them plays. However, I _do_ mind having no beep at all. My problem: Whenever any of the two sounds play, any other sound output is temporarily paused. I know that Alsa can do mixing quite well, as I can play multiple sound files at the same times (using mplayer, vlc, aplayer etc.) – but somehow it doesn’t want to mix that beep into the other sounds it outputs. Any ideas what I could do to improve this situation?

Lenny Skype - suddenly garbled mic sounds
Posted on skype board with no replies to date. Perhaps one of you can shed some insight. Skype worked fine for about 6 weeks since I first installed it. But from this last weekend, I get this darth vader mic sound problem. My voice is garbled and s-l-o-w-e-d down on playback from skype test call. Voice calls unusable. Skype call dialog window Error message something like "problem with audio capture." I hear the other end; other party hears nothing. No audio s/w updated nor installed recently. Mic on sound recorder still works fine. Debian Lenny (current updates), Skype Linux 2.1.0.81, backported 2.6.32 kernel, default XFCE debian installation for audio. So, everything was fine previously.

Under Lenny, The ESD starts when GNOME starts, and the ESD terminates when GNOME terminates; so now that I think about it I shouldn't be surprised that there is no startup script for it in /etc/init.d/. But the fact that, under Squeeze, the ESD no longer starts when GNOME starts, even though the esound package is installed, leads me to believe that something *is* finally changing. From the circumstantial evidence, it appears that GNOME is now relying on sound mixing in ALSA (hardware or software, depending on the capabilities of the audio chipset) rather than a network-transparent audio daemon to mix sounds from multiple applications. That is a major transition, and bugs are likely. The suppression of startup and shutdown sounds is apparently a circumvention for a bug. The other possibility is that GNOME has switched to a different network transparent audio daemon, such as pulseaudio. And since I don't have pulseaudio installed, I'm not getting startup and shutdown sounds. But that appears unlikely. Why would they handle some system sounds (startup and shutdown) through an audio server, while sending other system sounds, such as alert, directly to ALSA? At this point, I'm assuming that the lack of startup and shutdown sounds is a known bug which will eventually be fixed. If someone more knowledgeable out there wishes to correct me, I'm all ears. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Re: No GNOME system sounds in Squeeze
FYI, this is a copy of the "README" that comes with Esound in Etch, it's date on my computer is june 2005 : Esound is an audio mixing server that allows multiple applications to output sound to the same audio device. Development on Esound stopped several years ago, in the hope that someone would write a replacement. Esound is seriously lacking in features required for a modern desktop environment, particularly for multi-channel audio and audio/video synchronization. However, it is part of the GNOME platform (for a little while longer), so we slavishly continue to maintain it. Bugs should be reported at http://bugzilla.gnome.org. It's unlikely that they'll be fixed unless they're regressions from recent versions or accompanied by patches. --ds Something should change, but --Jasper. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The ESD still isn't running either. And I don't have pulseaudio installed. I wonder if GNOME now directs system sounds directly to ALSA.

No GNOME system sounds in Squeeze
OK, now it's my turn to ask for help. I've finally gotten around to trying to enable system sounds in GNOME under Squeeze, and I can't seem to get it to work. I've been able to get it to work under Lenny (see my web page http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/tp600.htm for example), but under Squeeze it doesn't work. Basic sound works. (In other words, the "aplay" utility can be used to play .wav files just fine.) But the Squeeze version of GNOME (2.28.2) appears to be quite different from the Lenny version of GNOME (2.22.3) with respect to sound configuration. When I click on System -> Preferences -> Sound, I see something quite different than what I see in 2.22.3. I see a mixer-like window right off the bat, and there are no "test" buttons. When I click on the "Sound Theme" tab, everything is grayed-out. I can't select anything. Also, the Enlightened Sound Daemon is apparently not running, according to "ps aux", even though I have the esound, esound-clients, and esound-common packages installed. Nor does there appear to be any startup script in /etc/init.d/ that would start it. The gnome-audio package is also installed. And yes, I rebooted after installing those packages. I searched the built-in gnome help, but to no avail. I searched wiki.debian.org, but to no avail. I searched the internet, but found nothing promising on the first few pages. Surely there's someone out there who has gotten GNOME system sounds working under Squeeze. Any ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hey there, I am on SID and have the same problem with both my machines. Sound works fine in general, only the gnome system sounds don't. I can't enable them in system -> preferences -> sound because all the checkboxes are greyed out and unclickable. gnome-audio and ESD is installed. I read on some forums to try pulseaudio instead, so I did, and the pulseaudio sound server was running, I was able to play sounds through it, but the gnome-system-sound situation did not change at all.

I think it's related somehow to snd-usb or the power supply on the usb bus. It gets very low when I plug in the external monitor and have the snd usb driver loaded ... very odd it's bugging me for 2 years now and even engineers couldn't tell me why.

Re: Simultaneous sounds, again (solved, probably)
I am pleased to say that I now managed to get simultaneous sound
working in Debian, almost perfectly.
My "sound compatibility matrix" is now:
mp/s xmmsyoutube skype
mp/s OKOK OKOK
xmms OKXOKOK
youtubeOKOK OKOK
skype OKOK OKN/A
mp/s means mplayer with sdl audio output, as before. I had to set
this *both* by a line in ~/.mplayer/config:
ao=sdl
and through the GUI (gmplayer, preferences, audio). It appears
both are necessary.
The X in the combination xmms-xmms should probably be N/A, because
xmms just does not allow running 2 instances of itself
simultaneously.
Several reactions (on-list and off-list) suggested using a sound
daemon, but according to the 31 August 2007 entry on the
"buglandia" blog (http://buglandia.blogspot.com), sound daemons
(like esd and arts) are now *outdated*, and even somewhat *evil*
("fundamentally wrong").
The solution is software sound mixing. Apparently, sounds can be
mixed by the hardware (the sound card) or by software. Windows
always uses software sound mixing by default. So sound mixing
always works on Windows, no matter what hardware you have. Linux,
developed by and for tech types, tries to use hardware mixing if
the sound card can support it (but by no means all of them do),
because this is more efficient.
Software mixing became something of a stepchild. But it appears
that in the more modern versions (of Linux and alsa; certainly in
Sid) software mixing works now. The flightgear wiki
(http://tinyurl.com/38smlf) explains this better than I can.
To make it work, I followed a recipe on the alsa wiki
(http://tinyurl.com/2vhoqt), because the recipe on buglandia did
not work for me. What did was:
-- make sure there is NO /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc files
present on the system.
-- export two environment variables:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
export AUDIODEV=plug:dmix
(you can put both commands in ~/.bash_profile).
-- make sure that mplayer uses sdl for audio output.
-- make sure there are no sound daemons running (jack, esd, arts,
whatever).
It will now work after you log out/log in, and perhaps after
restarting alsa (/etc/init.d/alsasound restart). Well, I hope it
does. It now does for me.

Gnome desktop sounds not playing, all other sound works fine
All sound works fine on my sarge desktop -- realplayer, music player etc. The only exception is the Gnome desktop sounds -- login, logout, error etc. These do not play at all, even when 'play' is selected for the various wav files indicated in gnome-sound-properties (all of which exist, and can be played from other apps.) KDE desktop sounds work fine (I am considering a move to KDE, but I've not yet gotten all my apps working properly there, so different topic.) I've tried manually editing $HOME/.gnome2/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist. gnome-sound-properties picks up the changes, but the sounds still don't play. Thanks in advance for any info... ___ Yahoo!

2 sounds cards in GNOME
Hi all, I have succesfully installed 2 sound cards on my PC. The problem is that I do not know how to tell gnome to use the one I want. In fact the desktop sounds effects are played in one sound card but the sounds from gnome applications sound are played in the other one. How can I configure gnome in order the sounds were played in the sound card I want?

The desktop I mentioned earlier running Sarge has 256MB and the laptop I had mentioned earlier has 512MB. With the sound distortion the same in both, looks like RAM may not be the problem. ->HS -- Please remove the underscores ( the '_' symbols) from my email address to obtain the correct one.

Yup, xmms also produce bad sound if using esd plugins. Works fine
