Since Edubuntu's LTSP clients play local sound just fine, if you tossed me a few critical bones, I might be able to compare the Lubuntu vs. Edubuntu configurations and figure out what to change to get local sound working with Lubuntu LTSP. Of course, with LTSP, there might be the added question of whether I would need to change the LTSP chroot image -- but one step at a time! <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 10/2/2012 11:30 AM, Aere Greenway wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:1349191822.2257.5.camel@aere-Dell-DE051" type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="GtkHTML/4.2.2"> All: I use Pulseaudio in Lubuntu all the time, because I need to test with Java Sound (specifically, its software synthesizer), which on Linux (at least in the Ubuntu variants), assumes Pulseaudio is used. It may be possible to make Java Sound use something else, but I don't know how to do it. So I (with some effort) configured my Lubuntu systems to use Pulseaudio. Unfortunately, I don't remember the steps to do that, but I believe I can figure it out again if it becomes necessary. - Aere On Tue, 2012-10-02 at 11:14 -0400, John Hupp wrote: <blockquote type="CITE"> A couple more notes: </blockquote> <blockquote type="CITE"> I find that Pulseaudio is indeed installed on Lubuntu Precise, so perhaps the previous post's "We don't use pulseaudio" remark refers merely to non-usage by Skype, rather than to fundamental configuration in Lubuntu?

So Alsa and Pulseaudio are configured differently in Edubuntu/Ubuntu than in Lubuntu? </blockquote> <blockquote type="CITE"> On 9/29/2012 6:36 PM, John Hupp wrote: </blockquote> <blockquote type="CITE"> <blockquote type="CITE"> I'm forking a previous post to a related yet distinct topic. I hadn't posted anything on the topic yet since I have not tested my observation more widely, but I seem to find that LTSP clients connected to a Lubuntu LTSP server do not have local sound. They output to the server's speakers. Vaguely I recall that LTSP relies on pulseaudio, so your statement below could explain the behavior. If this assessment is correct, anyone know of a relatively easy way to get local sound working with LTSP on Lubuntu? </blockquote> </blockquote> <blockquote type="CITE"> <blockquote type="CITE"> On 9/29/2012 6:14 PM, <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:leszek.lesner@web.de">leszek.lesner@web.de</a> wrote: </blockquote> </blockquote> <blockquote type="CITE"> <blockquote type="CITE"> <blockquote type="CITE"> We don't use pulseaudio so pavucontrol makes no sense.
