Bug Description

SRU information follows:

Impact: Users with a default Ubuntu 8.10 install (with libasound2-plugins installed) who attempt to record audio via ALSA (rerouted through the PulseAudio pcm plugin) experience erratic recording behaviour and, possibly, an application crash.

Resolution: The capture stream returns null, so it needs to be tested before being used. Upstream alsa-plugins 1.0.18 contains the fix (http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-plugins.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=47458ae7de308cb347ba634a445b3cec8589a20c).

Tested SRU patch reference: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18935639/alsa-plugins_1.0.17-0ubuntu4_1.0.17-0ubuntu5~ppa1.diff.gz (A separate SRU patch will be attached.)

TEST CASE: Boot into a default Ubuntu 8.10 install (e.g., desktop image), and attempt to use Applications> Sound & Video> Sound Recorder> Record to record audio. Note the erratic recording behaviour and/or time representation.

Regression potential: No regressions have been identified in production. Currently, recording from ALSA via the PulseAudio pcm plugin rerouting is broken, so the situation "can only improve".

Background information follows:

Ubuntu 8.10 desktop beta
"Sound recorder" in 8.10 beta

< the specific steps or actions I took that caused you to encounter the problem>:
pushing the record button in "Sound recorder"

<the behavior I expected>:
When recording sound the elapsed time flows following normal time in secs and minutes.

<the behavior you actually encountered>
After pushing the record button in "Sound recorder" the time counter (seconds and minutes) starts too fast and erratic.

no need to kill PA, just change in audio preferences the sound capture item to Pulse Audio Server, and it would work OK.

Maybe because this is an upgrade from several previous version the setting was left as before??

On Intrepid, I fixed with Daniel's PPA, But I lost the ALSA mixer in the gnome volume control and in the system - preferences - sound.

I am able to record using pulseaudio now using the flash applet (ALSA Plugin) and I am able to set the volumes using "alsamixer -Dhw:0"

Current system is AMD64.

I manually installed the 32bits version of libasound2-plugins in my "/usr/lib32/alsa-lib" so Flash will be able also to record and it is working.

the only issue which is minor is that I have to set my volumes on the ALSA card using alsamixer since Gnome is unable to see it.

Selecting PulseAudio does not solve the problem for me at all.

I seem to be struggling with PulseAudio. I had to uninstall Pulseaudio and
all its components completely to be able to record anything. So in between
for a short period recording began to work. Then again, all of a sudden,
sound completely stopped. I can no longer hear sound now. Each time the the
System beep occurs the speakers start a loud static noise that sounds more
like an old radio searching for a station.

I don't care and know what driver and which particular module is not
working. SOUND IS NOT WORKING. That's the summary. The SOUND SUPPORT SUCKS.

I have been trying my best with searching all bug reports on this.

Here are some details:

My sound card is Intel HDA. I do see that there are some specific issues
with this - I don't know and understand them - they are greek to me.

$ uname -r
2.6.27-7-generic

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 03)

Here is a link I found for this family of HD Audio controller
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_82801H_HDA

Please help. I just don't even know where to begin. This is very
frustrating. Sound works on my other laptop which has nVIDIA HDA and in this
one with Intel HDA, it fails miserably.

Ok, it started working now.

I completely removed PulseAudio and alsa-base. I further reinstalled other
alsa-until packages etc. And rebooted the machine. Things are much better
now. I heard a very load static in the beginning, but I could reduce/correct
that by fixing the volume level. In the process of removing PulseAudio
Ubuntu-desktop gets removed - I did not bother and still removed it. But
somehow things are working. I don't exactly know what I did for this to
start working - but I feel as if I am almost having a very partially working
system.

I'll test Flash, mpg and all other things and see if every sound module
interfaces fine.

Also, one more thing to be noted: I chose Autodetect in Sound Playback, HDA
Intel in Music/Movies and Audio conferencing. But I had to choose Open
Sound Server in capture. No other combination works. This is really
frustrating. Sound should not have so much tweaking to be done. It should
work out of the box. What Ubuntu does is expecting too much from the general
user. Please fix this. PulseAudio simply does NOT work with Intel devices.
Why do we have it if it does not work. The whole project is a waste and
completely USELESS if it does not work.

Please fix all sound issues before the next release. This is shameful.

Balaji, I share your frustration over the sound system in Ubuntu. There are so many components; we have OSS, ALSA, PulseAudio, Gstreamer, Jack etc, and it is difficult to know where to start looking when things go wrong. Personally I share your view about PulseAudio - that it does not seem stable enough and that Ubuntu probably would be better off without it at the moment. Hopefully that will change in the near future.

But also know that almost all of us are volonteers and luckily one of them (Daniel) has time to work with this issue. The best you can do at the moment is to have patience and continue to help the Ubuntu project in the ways that fit both you and the project (see http://www.ubuntu.com/community).

Balaji (balaji-ramasubramanian) wrote :

Thanks a lot David et al,

Daniel thanks a great deal for your inputs. Here are some of my
observations.

PulseAudio for sure does not work at all on Intel HDA. My other laptop which
has nVIDIA HDA uses PulseAudio and I wouldn't say that sound worked out of
the box in that either. In general, after Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), the ALSA
driver had become quite stable. In 6.06 we still had problems and I could
not get the driver to recognize the headphone being plugged in. But this
retrogression in sound performance at the stage where Ubuntu is today is
simply unacceptable. We CANNOT have a poorly working sound system for a
machine that can perform composite management, virtualization and other
extreme technologies that were not standard just two years back. At this
stage of maturity, Ubuntu's choice of PulseAudio is frustrating and is also
a very very bad choice.

I don't even understand why PulseAudio needs to replicate the functionality
of ALSA. The whole advantage of open source is that you use the work someone
else has done and build upon it. PulseAudio should provide a sound server,
but should not interfere with ALSA. It should use ALSA or OpenSoundSystem
which are lower level modules. That is if at all it should exist. I don't
even see why that project is needed.

Finally, I'll try to check for all the configurations and compile a
resolution to the problem that I found. I could finally get all sound
functionality working fine on this laptop. But I need to think carefully as
to what all I actually did. For sure, I completely removed PulseAudio. But
in addition I also removed alsa-base, though not the complete alsa system.

Meanwhile, let me report one more observation:
A sound static sort of noise is heard often at bootup. This is the point
where libsound2 is being loaded. But the static noise is irritating. I found
that the noise is due to a couple of volume settings that are very high. I
fixed them and rebooted and it works without the noise. Sound recording is a
little noisy - but there could be ample ambient noise in my apartment too.

Thanks,
Balaji

This is for a system that uses Intel HDA

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 03)

I got this audio system to work by the doing the following:
Remove all components of pulseaudio.
Remove alsa-base, but reinstall alsa-oss and alsa-utils, libclalsadrv1,
Further, reinstall, libsound2 and libsound2-plugins, libesdalsa0

I have not yet removed Bluetooth components - I don't have bluetooth. But
after this, I changed the sound settings a little. I changed the Capture to
OpenSoundSystem and the sound outputs to Intel HDA 268 (ALSA)

Finally, I changed adjusted the volume levels and sound works now perfectly.

The only complaint is with Virtualization. If a virtual machine is using my
sound system, I cannot use it on the host simultaneously. This is upon using
VirtualBox. But that is not a show-stopper. I rarely use Windows on Ubuntu -
only if I ever need to use Office 2007 or if I need to use googletalk to
call someone.

Guys, my initial complaints taken back.

Sound is working perfectly. It even works across virtual machines
seamlessly. It took me a while to configure them and tweak the settings, but
they are fine now. The recording was having a lot of ambient noise, but I
figured that it was the laptop's internal mic that had a very high
resistance.

The one thing I think Linux still needs to work on, is that upon first
installation, things don't work perfectly. Further, upon an upgrade
apparently some problems persist. These should ideally be fixed early on.
