Well, rather than spend some insane amount of money for airport, we can do better with Pulseaudio.
#Pulseaudio debian mac#
Mac has airport which allows you to stream Itunes to speakers that are connected to airport. You could always check if it is running through the system monitor, which is the same thing as the ps_ax command above. Open up the Pulseaudio Manager, in Applications>Sound and Video>Pulseaudio Manager, it will say if it is connected or not.Ĭode: Select all 3319 ? Sl 1:31 /usr/bin/pulseaudio -log-target=syslogģ322 ? S 0:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helperĥ. If you open up two application using sound simultaneously, the second one will not be able to access the sound card.ģ. If your notice that your system sounds stopped running, then the Pulseaudio daemon must not be running.Ģ. Well, the best idea is to check to make sure that Pulseaudio is running and that the sound is running through Pulseaudio, and there are many ways to do this.ġ. Pasuspender will work with any application that does not support Pulseaudio but support ALSA.īecause Pulseaudio automatically relinquishes control of the sound device and allows applications to use ALSA, this could cause a situation where you think the sound is going through Pulseaudio when it is actually going directly through ALSA. This will cause Pulseaudio to suspend it's control of the sound device and allow Audacity to run through ALSA as if Pulseaudio didn't exist. Just precede the command of the program you wish to start with the pasuspender command. It is also possible for the user to force Pulseaudio to relinquish it's lock of the audio device. Whenever Pulseaudio is idle, meaning any application using sound is not running, it automatically suspends it's lock of the audio device, which will allow the user to open an application such as Audacity which does not natively use Pulseaudio, and Audacity will work through the ALSA sound system. This new feature enables Pulseaudio to automatically suspend it's lock of the audio device in order to allow other application to control the audio device. I would like to mention one of the newest and most useful developments in the Pulseaudio sound server and that is the pasuspend or pasuspender feature. I'm just leaving this an example for other applications that may have trouble that I may not be aware of. I use audacity as an example but audacity now works with pulseaudio out of the box. I never actually use this feature anymore because all my applications use pulseaudio beautifully. I use XFCE so I add pulseaudio -D to the applications that autostart.

You could also go to sessions and add the pulseaudio -D command to begin at startup, and this too will start pulseaudio automatically. If you do not want system sounds, you can always disable each system sound individually, but this will start pulseaudio automatically at boot.
#Pulseaudio debian software#
I'm pretty sure Pulseaudio should autostart by default, but if it doesn't, you may want to enable software sound mixing, this is done in gnome by going to system>preferences>sound then go to the sound tab and click the check box to enable software sound mixing.
#Pulseaudio debian install#
You can go into synaptic and search for Pulseaudio and install every package by that name, which will work, or you can try this: Just install the packages, run the command and presto.īefore we can begin we have to install Pulseaudio in the first place. Pulseaudio has always been easy to configure, as it is intended to neatly replace esd. This article talks about some of the many features Pulseaudio has. If you're wondering why one should switch to Pulseaudio, consider reading this article by Nathan Willis on, where he mentions this very How-To. It also allows users to send sounds over a network.

It allows users without a sound card capable of hardware mixing to playback multiple sounds at once. Pulseaudio is a sound server which acts as drop in replacement for Esound. If for any reason you regularly referenced that How-To and you need the information that was on it, I'm hosting it on my website, only because I have so much web space and I don't know what to do with it all. I found my How-To cited on various websites around the internet and I felt awful for not updating it in so long, so I finally gathered up all the new information and edited my How-to. This is an updated version of the How-To I used to have on these forums.
