There are a number of issues involving sound on Hoary Hedgehog (5.04). This outlines some fixes for some common problems.

Firefox and Flash player sound

  • This fix is to make sound play with the flash plugin
  • sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 (in the console, of course)

XMMS

  • press ctrl+p and select libesdout.so as the output plugin and click apply.

Xine:

  • switch level_experience to Master of all known bla-bla-bla...etc...
  • goto audio
  • audio driver: (alsa or oss) (alsa was the first to work, now they both work)
  • oss audio device number (1 or 0) (1 was the first to work, but now 0 is working to)
  • offset for digital passthrough ( 0 )
  • always resample to this rate ( 0 )
  • enable resampling (auto)
  • go ok and restart xine.
  • insert a DVD and press g to show the controls.
  • now click in the pseudo-up arrow left to AUD: and put it to 0 or 1 (1 was once again the first to work, but now its even working with auto ( 0 i suppose).

Polypaudio:

  • Installing polypaudio and replacing esound as your sound server also seems to work.

For all other probs try:

  • in a Terminal, fuser /dev/dsp (the process that is using the sound system - my system nx7010)
  • in a Terminal, kill [number of process given by fuser command]
