How I got sound working on Ubuntu Hardy. FINALLY!

Freitag, Dezember 19th, 2008

Relying on Skype more and more recently I decided that I finally needed to get the audio mess on my Hardy system cleaned up.

Situation before: depending on the order in which I start applications, Skype and Firefox’ Flash sound works together…or not. Audio player and Flash sound never work together. Audio player and skype sometimes work at the same. And. so. on. A mess. Crap!

Some research led me to the following tutorials:

HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support — where I followed Part A & B.

I did not explicitly took the steps mentioned in the (often referenced) PerfectSetup hints for Skype but found that the configuration mentioned there was already like that on my system. If it’s different on yours you might follow the advices there.

Now Skype and audio player already played well together. BUT: Flash was broken completely and reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree failed with the infamous md5sum error. Luckily, as mentioned in on of the bug’s comments, there’s is a new(?) and better way to install Adobe Flash these days, namely from Canonicals Partner Repository — very official and very bug free :)

Et voilà…I’m currently listening to Quod Libet (my audio player), blib.fm and last.fm while chatting with the nice lady of the Skype Test Call service :)
