No sound/microphone in TeamSpeak

[o_portista17]

Binary package hint: teamspeak-client

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid), with teamspeak-client (2.0.32-3ubuntu1), and i have no sound at all...
Sometimes when i start the program, it starts muted, other times, start's normal, but i never have sound.
I can hear myself in the microphone, but no one hears me.

My laptop is an Amilo 1718
here's "lspci"

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)

Help please.

If you need any other kind of info, just let me know.

Thanks in advance

I had to edit the shell script that the teamspeak package installs to get teamspeak to actually use PulseAudio:

open a terminal and enter:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/teamspeak

find line 6 or so:
/usr/lib/teamspeak-client/teamspeak.real $@

alter it to:
padsp /usr/lib/teamspeak-client/teamspeak.real $@

Hopefully the packager can update the teamspeak package so this OSS app works with hardy and/or intrepid out of the box.

hello, i've tried the way you said, but i still have a problem.
now i can hear the rest of the people, but they can't hear me... ;(
isn't there a way to use alsamixer, or something?

"padsp teamspeak" worked for me, thanks

o_portista17:

Can you record anything with the microphone? Try another program.. if that works, it's a problem with teamspeak.. if it doesn't work try the volume controls for recording.. if that still doesn't work.. I'm not sure.

I think that my problem is within ubuntu, because if i talk without opening TS, i can hear myself loud and clear, if i open TS, i can hear the other people, but they can't hear me.

I've tried once to use a record program, but it didn't recorded my voice...

There's a few things here that i can't get it to work: Wireless (atheros) webcam (don't know the brand), and now the microphone. ;(

I believe that the /usr/bin/teamspeak should be changed to something like that

#!/bin/sh
#
# This file is public domain.
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pulseaudio/libpulsedsp.so
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/teamspeak-client
/usr/lib/teamspeak-client/teamspeak.real $@

This works very well here on my 64-bit machine.
