[01:56] <parker_> Hello
[01:56] <SonikkuAmerica> Hi!
[01:57] <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.
[01:58] <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.
[02:00] <SonikkuAmerica> There are a few solutions I can think of:
[02:01] <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."
[02:02] <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
[02:03] <parker_> output 100%
[02:03] <SonikkuAmerica> You tried testing them both?
[02:03] <parker_> oh, hold on
[02:03] <parker_> Oh
[02:04] <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?
[02:05] <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.
[02:06] <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. :)
[02:07] <parker_> Okay, I have a related follow up.
[02:07] <SonikkuAmerica> Ask away!
[02:08] <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?
[02:09] <SonikkuAmerica> Simple! Remember the "Sound" dialog we just came from? Simply select whatever the headphones are listed as, then close the window.
[02:10] <parker_> Selecting S/PDIF turns off everything
[02:11] <SonikkuAmerica> What are your headphones plugged into, the standard headphone jack, a USB port, ...?
[02:11] <parker_> Selecting Speakers turns on everything
[02:12] <parker_> standard headphone
[02:13] <SonikkuAmerica> Hmmm... one second.
[02:15] <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.
[02:16] <parker_> okay, mine is HP too,
[02:17] <SonikkuAmerica> parker_: Perhaps the guy with the Pavilion dv6 has a good solution.
[02:20] <parker_> Okay I installed the package that it reccomended.
[02:21] <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.
[02:25] <parker_> It worked!
[02:27] <SonikkuAmerica> All set then!
[03:58] <imhotep525> does anyone here run steam on 12.04?
[20:08] <gnite> Hi, is there anyone here who could help me with an issue with screen resolutions?
[20:09] <Unit193> What's wrong with it?
[20:10] <Unit193> !fixvideoresolution
[20:10] <gnite> First off  I have a CRT monitor
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <gnite> It's not changing the actual resolution of the monitor
[20:13] <gnite> I'm running  a live CD  by the way to test things out
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <gnite> Any other way to force the monitor resolution to change?
