Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Dell XPS13. I usually don't have any problems with sound. Now I installed the program Praat (http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/download_linux.html) version 5.3.2-1.
When I want to play a sound, it doesn't work. When I open Praat via the command line and try to play a sound, I get the following error: Expression 'snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_size_near( pcm, hwParams, &lowLatency )' failed in 'pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 415 I tried to follow the sound troubleshooting advice here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure but it didn't help so far. Does anybody know why I get this error, and what I can do about it? Thank you for your help! ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1452162 Title: Sound doesn't work with Praat To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1452162/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
