Kmix issues
I originally posted this in the software forum but have not gotten a response, so I thought I'd post it here as well.
I hope this doesn't violate any rules about posting, but I really need help with this issue. I'm having an issue with kmix. First let me give my system specs. Intel Celeron D 2.66gz single core cpu 740mb ram OpenSUSE 12.1 KDE4 Desktop Ok, so for some reason, the vocal channel in kmix is very low and when I open settings to raise the level of that particular channel, there are no options to do so. I have uninstalled and reinstalled kmix and the problem persists. Is there a fix for this or is there a different audio controller that i can use in it's place. it's quite annoying not to be able to hear the lyrics to my music or movies. Thanks in advance for any help I receive on this topic. |
Have you tried doing this this through alsamixer?

Ok :).
Open a Terminal and type in Code:
alsamixer Alex Brinister |

I can hear the instruments very well, but the vocal track is very low. This is on Pandora as well as local media on my machine. |
That's interesting... Are you running PulseAudio? Do the following:
Code:
pulseaudoio --version Alex Brinister |

1.1... That sounds old. Then again, I'm on Arch where everything is always new.
What you can try to do is to edit (as root) your /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and put the following at the end: Code:
default-sample-rate=192000 Code:
pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio --start |

Ya you can modify it as root from Terminal. If you have admin powers, you should be able to use sudo.
Code:
sudo su - Code:

1) if you want to move a thread of yours to another forum, just REPORT your own original post (see the REPORT button in the lower-right corner of the post itself) and ask a moderator to move it for you. 2) considering LQ is a world-wide site and due to time differences, the response time is an average of 8-16 hours. If you are lucky you can obtain a first response far earlier, if you're unlucky and no response is given after 24/48/72 hours, take in mind the the thread will be automatically bumped (that is raised to the top of the forum) so that it gains more visibility each time. |
That's really odd. This is starting to sound like a problem with the audio files in question than with the sound system. Does this happen on YouTube?
Can you post a (bigger) screenshot of your alsamixer? KMix doesn't really reveal anything... Also, what does this give you? Code:
aplay -l Alex Brinister |
