| parker_ | Hello | 01:56 |
|---|---|---|
| SonikkuAmerica | Hi! | 01:56 |
| parker_ | First time on IRC | 01:57 |
| parker_ | So I need help with sound. | 01:57 |
| parker_ | I don't have any at the moment. | 01:57 |
| parker_ | from any of my programs | 01:58 |
| parker_ | and when I play video, | 01:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | State your flavor and release number. | 01:58 |
| parker_ | Ubuntu 13.04 | 01:58 |
| parker_ | any video I play goes really quickly | 01:58 |
| parker_ | Youtube, VLC, all of it. | 01:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | There are a few solutions I can think of: | 02:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step A: Head for System Settings. (i.e. Click on the icon with the gear and wrench in the Unity dash, or search the Dash for it and click its icon) | 02:01 |
| parker_ | ok | 02:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step B: Click on "Sound." | 02:01 |
| parker_ | alright | 02:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Step C: Are any audio devices listed? | 02:02 |
| parker_ | test sound does nothing | 02:02 |
| parker_ | Digital Output (S/PDIF) | 02:02 |
| parker_ | and Speakers | 02:02 |
| parker_ | output 100% | 02:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You tried testing them both? | 02:03 |
| parker_ | oh, hold on | 02:03 |
| parker_ | Oh | 02:03 |
| parker_ | So speakers works. | 02:04 |
| parker_ | And Youtube is normal speed now. | 02:04 |
| parker_ | How in the world did that effect the playback speed? | 02:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | There you are. Provided that you have "Speakers" highlighted, you can close the System Settings window now. Congratulations. You're well on your way to a fuller Ubuntu experience! | 02:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (Who knows? I haven't been able to figure that myself.) | 02:05 |
| parker_ | Well thank you for the help. | 02:05 |
| parker_ | Not that it was a baffling case, | 02:06 |
| parker_ | but no one in the ask Ubuntu forums would get back to me | 02:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | but hey, we get them all the time. No need to be ashamed. :) | 02:06 |
| parker_ | Okay, I have a related follow up. | 02:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ask away! | 02:07 |
| parker_ | Is there any way, | 02:08 |
| parker_ | that I can plug in headphones, | 02:08 |
| parker_ | and have the sound only come through them, but not the laptop speakers? | 02:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Simple! Remember the "Sound" dialog we just came from? Simply select whatever the headphones are listed as, then close the window. | 02:09 |
| parker_ | Selecting S/PDIF turns off everything | 02:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | What are your headphones plugged into, the standard headphone jack, a USB port, ...? | 02:11 |
| parker_ | Selecting Speakers turns on everything | 02:11 |
| parker_ | standard headphone | 02:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Hmmm... one second. | 02:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | parker_: There seems to be an issue on askubuntu.com that matches yours: http://askubuntu.com/questions/293632/sound-problem-on-both-speakers-and-headphones | 02:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You can try some of the solutions there if you wish. | 02:15 |
| parker_ | okay, mine is HP too, | 02:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | parker_: Perhaps the guy with the Pavilion dv6 has a good solution. | 02:17 |
| parker_ | Okay I installed the package that it reccomended. | 02:20 |
| parker_ | Now I have to reboot. | 02:21 |
| parker_ | If I don't see you here again, thank you for all of your help. | 02:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK... you're welcome. | 02:21 |
| parker_ | It worked! | 02:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | All set then! | 02:27 |
| imhotep525 | does anyone here run steam on 12.04? | 03:58 |

| gnite | Hi, is there anyone here who could help me with an issue with screen resolutions? | 20:08 |
| Unit193 | What's wrong with it? | 20:09 |
| Unit193 | !fixvideoresolution | 20:10 |
| ubot93 | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 20:10 |
| gnite | First off I have a CRT monitor | 20:10 |
| gnite | The default resolution was 1280x1024 | 20:11 |
| gnite | I changed it to 1600x1200 which is what I normally use | 20:11 |
| gnite | Everything got smaller but stayed blurry basically | 20:11 |
| gnite | It's not changing the actual resolution of the monitor | 20:12 |
| gnite | I'm running a live CD by the way to test things out | 20:13 |
| gnite | I accidently rebooted, that command to restart x did not work, command not found | 20:41 |
| gnite | I tries restart lightdm, it restarted but didn't change a thing | 20:41 |
| gnite | Any other way to force the monitor resolution to change? | 20:42 |
