| Okay, so here's a recurring problem I've had with the audio on Karmic 64-bit Ubuntu for the past month or so:
Basically, when playing some games in Wine, but also when watching video using XBMC and such, my audio will cut out. It'll ramp up to 100% CPU and just sit there churning. The sound becomes popping and crackling, not actually giving any stable sound whatsoever. Originally I figured that I'd have to kill and restart the PulseAudio server to get it to work, but now I've discovered, strangely enough, that going to the Sound Preferences menu, selecting a different hardware output and switching back to to 4.1 surround that I use will clear it right up.
Any idea what happened to PulseAudio to cause that? I've even gone to the PulseAudio repos to ugrade to the latest version today, but nothing works.
It's causing a lot of problems for games in wine. Previously, I'd have no problem alt-tabbing out, or going to my second monitor to do what-have-you, but now doing anything that defocuses from the game will cause the audio to gam up like that. I can't figure it out.
This seems to be happening exclusively with Wine games and XBMC, the former of which are also being really stuttery with graphics. I don't know why.
Anyway, most people's usual advice is "remove pulseaudio," but Karmic seems to have made that a really, really sketchy process and I don't want to go mucking about and ruining the audio that DOES work.
Advice? Logs I can look at/post? | |

|  I've been seeing a commercial recently from the cable provider where I live (in central Florida), Bright House, explaining that Bright House and the Fox Network have still not negotiated a new contract, which is set to expire on December 31st. The Bright House commercial states the cable company wants Fox to keep its programming on the air while they continue to negotiate, even if they haven't reached an agreement by the end of this year. According to Bright House, nothing would stop Fox from continuing to provide access to their networks while negotiations are still being conducted. Bright House doesn't ask their customers to call Fox & ask them to keep their programming, whether they meet the deadline or not, but they suggest awfully hard. I read in the online version of the local newspaper, The Orlando Sentinel that Fox claims that Bright House isn't negotiating at all; they're having Time Warner Cable negotiate for them (Bright House bought out Time Warner here in Central Florida a few years back), which I don't get, but (as the kids say nowadays), "Whatever..." Anyway I just had to point out that, as a Bright House customer, I don't know & am not even slightly interested in what the hitch is in their negotiations or non-negotiations, but I would personally be ECSTATIC if I didn't have to see any Faux News programming on my cable menu at all. I hate even scrolling past their name when I'm trying to find something to watch on TV. As you can imagine, even if Faux News is lost to us here in central Florida, I can honestly say that--on my part--there will not be any love lost! The only thing that I'd miss even a little would be Family Guy and American Dad, but I know that sometimes we must be willing to sacrifice things that are quasi-important (see the shows listed above) for things that are more important (less Faux in my life). So, this year, I have an EXTRA reason to look forward to 2010! :-) | |

| As some of you know, I read ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) theferrett's LJ reliably. Around Christmas, he invites folks to post cheesecake pictures. So most of the comments on the post are (of course) pictures of breasts, but there was one comment that really made me laugh.... "I feel really stupid for asking, but what exactly is a cheesecake picture? I tried Googling it and got... pictures of cheesecake. Which is honestly what I was expecting when I clicked the comments link. I'm slow sometimes. Also, now craving cheesecake." Poor kid. | |

| I have about a garbarge bag's worth of scraps to give away. Only that much in volume because there's one medium-poofy scrap (soft soft blue-gray faux something-or-other), and one downright furry one (the navy blue one in the photos). Do you want it? Comment and I'll leave it on my front porch, corner of Packard and Powder House Blvd (10-12 min walk from Davis, 7-8 min walk from Powder House Square). Just in case more than one person wants it, please wait to get a reply from me before coming over. ( bad photos under the cut ) | |

| I'm hoping you guys will be able to help. I'm using Karmic and decided to try my webcam again(it kept freezing the entire system back in Intrepid). Good news! It worked! System is not freezing, I seem to be getting video.
But my problem. The sound isn't working. When I switch to pulse audio it works. Kinda. In a breaking up I can barely hear anything sort of way. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. I know the webcam works(I have a dual boot in XP).
Thanks for any help guys! I'd love to be able to get my webcam working in linux.
Webcam is a logitech btw, I think its a quickcam. Is there some other package I should be grabbing from synaptic that will make the audio/mic work?
Thanks again.
Edit: Now for reasons unknown I'm not getting sound at all on skype. And whenever I change the mic's sound preference from low to medium it resets back to low. | |

| What's the dumbest/newbest thing you've ever done to your system?
When I was very new to Linux, I rm -rf'd an important directory tree. I think it was /usr.
More recently, I used usermod -G without -a. On the only account that could sudo. Fortunately, I had a recovery CD handy. | |

| I have an 8 gig USB stick that has suddenly gone into "Read Only" mode and I can't save or copy anything to it currently. This just won't do as it holds all my every day files on it.
What in the world? How did this happen and how do I change it? Just going into properties from the desktop doesn't show anything, so is there something I can do from the command prompt?
I have a feeling it's something ridiculously simple, but I can't figure out just what that is. | |

На странице справа вверху можно посмотреть текст речи, кликнув на ссылке "Open interactive transcript" (есть даже русский перевод). Кликая на предложения из транскрипта, можно отмотать видео к этому предложению. Также под самим видео можно включить субтитры прямо в видео. Вообще на TED есть много занимательных презентаций, которые можно использовать в развлекательных и образовательных целях, в т.ч. для практики восприятия английской речи. Выступающие рассказывают интересно, в доступной форме и с юмором. Записи также есть на тюбике и их может быть удобнее искать там. | |
