Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Sound problem

[Dion van Oirschot <dion van oirschot telenet be>]

Hi Damien,


1. Mic Boost is not the issue here. The received sound from echo service at the beginning (the nice lady explaining about echo service) is as low in volume as the things I say afterwards. But the beep is much louder.

2. I checked the nice-value in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config; it is -10. I have no idea if this is high or not. I am not that technically experienced.

3. The Avahi daemon not running has no significance to this problem you say, but does that also mean I can ignore the error message?

Thanks for your help so far!

Greetings,

Dion

Hello all,


I have been testing Ekiga 2.0.1. today on a Debian Sid system.

Having a big problem with sound. I tested it with the echo service.
These are my observations:

- The beep you hear when connecting is loud and clear (so audio settings 
are ok)
- After connecting to the echo service, the sound is ok, though a bit 
low in volume (much lower than the beep)
    

Have you tried to enable "Mic BOOST" in your favorite mixer?

  

- After a short while the sound gets awfull. Cracking sound, almost not 
possible to understand what is said.
- When I minimize the Ekiga window and maximize it again, sound gets ok 
again.
- When I start another app while keeping connected to the echo service, 
the sound gets awfull again, so I need to minimize/maximize the Ekiga 
window again (sometimes a couple of times) to get 'normal sound' back.

I am using ALSA and a Logitech USB headset. Working with the 
Enlightenment 17 desktop, but same problem appears in IceWM.
    

Wouldn't you be using a distribution that gives all the priority to the
X server so that other applications can not work in real time?

See the "nice_value" in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config .


  

I ran Ekiga with option -d 1 and during startup I got this error message:

2006/04/03 19:10:27.477   0:02.488                        ekiga AVAHI   
Error initializing Avahi: %sDaemon not running

I don't know if the sound problem relates to this Avahi daemon not running.
Do I need to install some Avahi package in order for Ekiga to run properly?

    

It is not related.

  

Any help is very much appreciated,

Dion
