For people disappointed with PulseAudio - see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8130297&postcount=25 Those scripts allow You to have a fully functional Karmic sound setup without PulseAudio.
First, execute the following in a terminal: $ sudo apt-get purge libcanberra-pulse pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-udev pulseaudio-module-x11 gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils pavucontrol $ sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer alsa-oss python-alsaaudio Then, unpack those 5 files somewhere (but it's better not to change the location later), add: python /PATH/TO/alsavol.py python /PATH/TO/volbar.py (You can also run them in a current instance by pressing Alt+F2 twice and writing there those commands) At last, open "System -> Settings -> Keyboard Shortcuts" and add a custom shortcut key named "alsa mute" and command "/PATH/to/alsa_master_mute" and assign the mute key to this command. Do the same for "down" and "up". Instructions thanks to richie2.0. :) P.S. Remember to change sound setup in all applications from pulse to alsa (e.g. in (s)mplayer, vlc, VirtualBox etc.). P.S.2. I tried pulse, I used it with Karmic for a month, but it caused so many troubles for me that I decided I don't want to fight with this any longer. -- removing pulseaudio breaks sound control https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440465 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
