truefusion 3 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 Driver problems isn't necessarily the operating system's fault. For example, my Realtek audio driver doesn't allow me to record things properly. Also, your problem may be specific to what sound server you're using. Or it could be that one of the programs you're using is hogging it all for itself. I remember having a similar problem where Wine would take up all the sound until it fully closed, but that managed to eventually fix itself. A similar problem with Pidgin and Amarok, but i don't have that problem anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galahad 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2008 It is a well known fact that Linux can sometimes make your life misserable when it comes to drivers, but only with some exotic or new hardware...For instance, every piece of my hardware works with my Ubuntu 7.10... My K-World TV/FM Tuner card, with Bt878 chip, my nVidia GeForce4 MX440 works with restricted nVidia drivers, and my Creative SBLive! 5.1 works like a charm...Did you try to install ALSA drivers, not OSS? My SBLive! works great with ALSA drivers...What sound card do you have? You didn't specify your hardware, so we could try and help you... Or perhaps, you are complaining about no mp3 codecs being installed with Ubuntu? That's due to all the copyrights stuff...Be a little more specific, so we could help you...

Gravedigger 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2008 Linux can sometimes be a pain. I've tried it before and never again. From another side it can also be very reliable more so than others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Framp 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Well...Driver support is now quite good on linux.Only some strange hardware don't work on linux.Recently also ATI (amd ati, the one behind the damned video cards) has improved their driver!!About the audio driver try posting more details. When I started using ubuntu I've had problems with audio drivers too.Then I changed a setting and resolved the problemOften it's not a bug, it's a problem of configuration.And if your hardware is not supported is not a ubuntu bug: it's a productor's fault :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pedro-kun 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2008 That's not a driver problem. It isn't even a Unix bug. Also, Linux is NOT Unix lol!What happens is that the sound APIs for linux just suck. They are a confusing framework on which developers have to build their programs and therefore, errors occur. It's not really Ubuntu's or Fedora's fault... It's a problem which must be solved by unifying the damn audio API code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go Bismarck!Actually, I don't know what you're talking about. SDL_mixer + OSS has been working awesome for me for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to be more specific... Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
