Sound problem....

Hello friends,

First of all, I want to congratulate Damien Sandras
and his team for developing amazing Ekiga. I am a
proud user of Ekiga. I want to share my experience
with you all in order to help make Ekiga finer and
better. I do expect help from you guys.

I have Fedora Core 4 on one system and Windows XP on
the other.Both the systems are on the same network.My
aim is to have voice chat between NetMeeting and
Ekiga.
 
First I tried to do audio chat from NetMeeting(NM)on
WINXP with GenomeMeeting(1.2.1)on FC4.The voice went
well without any problem.

but when I tried Ekiga(2.0.0) on FC4 with NM on WinXP
and tried to have voice chat, I could listen my friend
 who used Ekiga for 1-2 seconds in the starting. After
that i could not hear anything. my friend logged on to
Ekiga could not listen me too as well.

I guess, the problem lies in Alsa sound manager. Voice
chatting was successful on GM because GM uses OSS as
audio manager. But Ekiga is taking only ALSA without
providing any other option.

While using the headset, we tried Audio test using
arecord and aplay as suggested by 
Damien.
[rootkshemanth ~]#arecord -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000
-f S16_LE - | aplay -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f
S16_LE - 

but when we stored the recorded sound, we could not
play the .wav file.
I got following errors...........


[rootkshemanth ~]# arecord -f dat -d 20 -D hw:0,0
test.wav
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
[rootkshemanth ~]# aplay -f dat test.wav
ALSA lib conf.c:1578:(snd_config_load1)
_toplevel_:51:23:No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:2821:(snd_config_hook_load)
/etc/alsa/cards/aliases.conf may be old or corrupted:
consider to remove or fix it
ALSA lib conf.c:2684:(snd_config_hooks_call) function
snd_config_hook_load returned error: No such file or
directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:1959:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type
for PCM default definition (id: default, value:
cards.pcm.default)
aplay: main:508: audio open error: Invalid argument

So please help me to troubleshoot the problem. 

Thanks and regards..
Archana.

That is more an ALSA problem, we are not ALSA experts. But
what I would
try first, is to upgrade libasound on your system. It seems
that the
config is not correct in /etc/, and that config is part of a
specific
RPM (that I don't know, but it could be libasound).

2006-04-07 11:52:55
Hi there,

The webcam , I am using for video chatting using Ekiga
is Logitech Quickcam Express.

I installed the drivers for that. but during the video
device testing in Ekiga, it says that driver of webcam
doesnot support colors tried by Ekiga and failed to
open the device.

Can you please tell me the RGB settings which i should
do in order to make it work???

Thanks and regards,
Archana........

I don't understand the question. As usual, try V4L2 and
V4L1 as plugins.
If it doesn't work, report a bug.
