Re: [Ekiga-list] No incoming Sound

[Geoff Jankowski <geoff jankowski virgin net>]

An update before you respond.

Last night I got the video to work but not incoming sound.  Today I got the video to work from the remote station with sound but no video image from me locally.

Also, when I ring out, the respondent answered, I could see the SPEEX codec come up but then the phone kept ringing at my end!  We were connected as we could use the chat interface.

So..

I looked at the ekiga site and decided to try to update to 2.0.2 ekiga.dapper.  I have downloaded all the files.  Removed the ubuntu installation.  Installed the new installation and ekiga opens.

Again I cannot see the local video but it looks like the rest is working.

dmesg gives me this continuous output

[17197479.936000] pwc Frame buffer underflow (487 bytes); discarded.

Yet pwc was fine last night!  Can you advise what is going on here?

I ran;

ekiga -d 4 > output.txt 2>&1

and it gave me confidence except that it said;

2006/10/09 17:38:52.531	  0:03.047	                  ekiga	AVAHI	Failed to create client: Daemon not running

and 

2006/10/09 17:38:56.786	  0:07.302	                  ekiga	DBUS support disabled

I looked for the libavahi file but it no longer exists for the ubuntu distro.

It would be really nice to have this working again.  Could someone guide me please?

Hi

I now have ekiga working on ubuntu 6.06 which incorporate ekiga as a standard item.  However, I cannot get the sound to work properly! 

I have run the wizard and am using the default settings and I have tried the 500 ekiga net line and all is well with the echo test working.

Yet, as soon as I call out to a phone or other ekiga user, I cannot receive sound back.  I have listed below the pwlib files and have checked through the General History and ekiga -d 4 outputs which show that the codecs are opening fine even though a codec directory does not seem to exist in /usr/lib/pwlib!. 

Also, as the sound and video permissions were read only, I tried changing these to read/execute but this made no difference.

I am running a default setting stun server (stun.ekiga.net) but cannot get sound to come back to me.

pwlib files

/usr/lib/pwlib/device/sound/alsa_pwplugin.so
/usr/lib/pwlib/device/videoinput/v4l2_pwplugin.so
/usr/lib/pwlib/device/videoinput/v4l_pwplugin.so

Should there be others and if so where does ubuntput them?

It was previously suggested that I should try killall esd.  I have done this and by watching the system monitor can see the esd processes dissappear but it still makes no difference.  The echo test works but a real call only allows my sound to go out.  I can never hear the person at the other end.

Could you give me some ideas on how to overcome this problem please?
