columbHello. I have 2 audio cards (CA0106 and ALC1200) and 5.1 speakers. CA0106 sometimes starts randomly speed up audio and ALC1200 doesn't support 5.1 audio. How do I fix something of it?12:43
holsteincolumb: what are you using to support the 2 cards?15:44
holsteincolumb: i would probably try the main ubuntu channel, or maybe the myth channel15:44
holsteinwe are really more about creating content.. though, if i can help i will15:45
holsteinusing multiple cards is not ideal15:45
columbAlready tried #ubuntu.15:45
holsteincolumb: so, you "tried" #ubuntu?15:45
holsteinand then came here?15:45
columbYep.15:45
holsteinhow about the main ubuntu mailing list?15:45
holsteinhow about the myth channel?15:46
holsteinhow about elaborating right here in this channel?15:46
holstein!detais15:46
holstein!details15:46
ubottuPlease give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."15:46
columbUbuntu is 12.04 LTS. Seems like I provided other info.15:46
holsteinsure15:46
holsteini'll just ask my specific question agin15:47
holsteinagain*15:47
holsteinno problem15:47
holsteincolumb: how are you supporting the 2 cards? with pulseaudio?15:47
columbInstalled ubuntu like 2 days ago. I guess they are supported by alsa.15:48
holsteincolumb: confirm that you are using pulse or not15:48
columbHow do I know it?15:48
holsteincolumb: share with me how you are using and configuring the 2 seperate sound cards15:48
holstein!pulse15:48
ubottuPulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions15:48
holsteinpulse audio is another community that could be providing you with suport15:48
holsteinwhat do i suggest?15:49
holsteini would remove one card, and just do stereo15:49
holsteinkeep it simple for now15:49
columbRight now I'm on stereo. It works... But I would like to use 5.1...15:49
holsteincolumb: sure, and im sure you will learn to suppor it, or purchase hardware that provides better linux support15:50
holsteinotherwise, confirm you are using pulse and check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio and have in mind *exactly* what you would like to do15:51
holsteinfor example, are you wanting to split the 5.1 signal from some software and route it to the 2 cards?15:51
columbThere is no need to use both cards. I purchased second a while ago for better sound quality. All I want is working 5.1 speakers on any of my cards.15:53
holsteincolumb: if one of the cards has 5.1 output, plug it in.. i would remove the other cards you are not going to use15:54
columbIt's built-in.15:54
holsteinit?15:54
holsteinwhich?15:54
holsteinyou mentioned 2 devices? correct?15:54
columbYes.15:54
holstein2 sound cards?15:54
columbOne of them is built-in.15:54
columbALC1200.15:55
holsteincolumb: so, remove the other one.. and use the built in15:55
columbBut it does not support 5.1 :(15:55
holsteinso, disable the onboard in the bios, and use the 5.1 one15:55
holsteinthough, you dont know that 5.1 is supported on the device15:55
holsteincolumb: does the vendor support linux?15:55
columbCA0106. There are a dozen of topics on ubuntu forums with issues with this card.15:56
columbBut it do support 5.1 audio.15:56
columbNo idea about vendor support.15:57
holsteincolumb: do they provide linux support?15:57
holsteincolumb: then, it may not work with linux.. in 5.115:57
holsteincolumb: you can ask them to provide you support.. or you can "hack" around at it with alsa15:57
holsteinwhat would i do? just use what is working, and let the system fake 5.1 after the stereo output15:57
columbCA0106 do work with linux. But sometimes it starts speeding up all audio on my pc.15:57
holsteincolumb: sounds like its not working well15:58
holsteincolumb: have you contacted the vendor of the hardware?15:58
holsteincolumb: what is the output of "aplay -l" ?15:58
columbIt's should software related issue. Because it's worked fine under Windows.15:58
holsteincolumb: ?15:59
holsteincolumb: the vendor provided you that windows driver15:59
holsteincolumb: if they provided you a linux driver, it would work as well15:59
columbNo, it's worked out of box.15:59
holsteinthe windows support is irrelevant15:59
holsteincolumb: linux supports what it can.. the kernel is modular.. that doesnt mean its going to be able to work "properly"16:00
holsteincolumb: what is the output of "aplay -l" ?16:00
columbhttp://pastebin.com/HKnWdzyh16:00
holsteincolumb: looks like its supporting all the outputs16:01
holsteincolumb: the *only* issue you have is that is "speeds up" ?16:01
columbWith ca0106 - yes.16:01
holsteincolumb: why do you say "with ca106" ?16:02
holsteinare you using the other device?16:02
holsteincolumb: im about to leave, so i will give you a list of things to try16:02
holsteincolumb: i would try the pulse audio channel16:03
holsteinwhen asking for help, i would *not* mention what you are mentioning16:03
holsteinyou make it seem like you are using multiple devices to emulate 5.116:03
holsteincolumb: i would say "im using this device and when i play this material it speeds up"16:03
holsteini would test something with good codec support in something well supported16:03
columbRight now I'm using built-in ALC1200.16:04
holsteinVLC with an ogg file16:04
holsteinsee if you can replicate the exact conditions for the speedup16:04
holsteinstart the application that is speeding up the audio from the terminal, and see if you see helpful output16:04
holsteincolumb: stop using the built in audio.. if you can, disable it in the bios for your testing16:05
columbGuys from #ubuntu helped me to enable it. The issue was before it was disabled.16:06
columb*it was enabled.16:06
holsteincolumb: if you dont want to use it, then turn it off, and troubleshoot the issue16:06
holsteincolumb: as i suggested, in the bios would be best16:07
columbStereo is better then speeded up sound. :(16:07
holsteincolumb: ?16:07
holsteincolumb: this is for troubleshooting the issue16:07
holsteincolumb: i am here on and off, and i will try and point you in the proper direction...OR you can wait for another volunteer16:07
holsteinthough, you wont get specific help for that issue here, likely..16:08
columbThanks for your help.16:08
holsteinand, i will help you, but you will need to be willing to troubleshoot16:08
holsteinso, good luck and i will be happy to help later if i can, and you are willing. cheers!16:08

vltAmbrose: x11vnc23:30
Ambrosevlt: Hah thanks, I was just about to apt-get that :p23:31
Ambrosevlt: Got it all dialed in here, thanks.23:38
AmbroseAlso installed xrdp so I don't have to download a seperate client :D23:39
