It seems I saw something in an Ubuntu forum about configuring Pulseaudio on Lubuntu. I did a Google search just now for "pulseaudio lubuntu", which came up with interesting stuff, but not what I remembered using. I did see this one piece of information that seemed familiar: Re: No audio lubuntu 12.04 <HR SIZE="1" ALIGN="center"> Be sure that pavucontrol, pulseaudio, pulseaudio-utils and libgtk-3-0 are all installed. Then play with the different settings in pulseaudio volume control and the controls in your player until you get sound. <A HREF="http://douwil7.100webspace.net/linux/Tuning.html#17">http://douwil7.100webspace.net/linux/Tuning.html#17</A> That seems to be what I did, that finally got it working. I also had issues with having two soundcards on my machine, where sometimes they would initialize in the wrong order, and I would get no sound because it was using the soundcard with no amplifier/speakers hooked to it. - Aere On Tue, 2012-10-02 at 11:44 -0400, John Hupp wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> So even though Pulseaudio is installed by default, apparently there are configuration questions viz-a-viz it's relationship with Alsa. 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! </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> On 10/2/2012 11:30 AM, Aere Greenway wrote: </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> 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: 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? In Edubuntu 12.04, local sound works fine on LTSP clients. So Alsa and Pulseaudio are configured differently in Edubuntu/Ubuntu than in Lubuntu?

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?

Skype only used with alsa reveals the alsa devices in skypes configuration for audio devices. This works usually fine. -- Von meinem Nokia N9 gesendet 紳癒礁湖 (Rafael Laguna) schrieb am 29.09.12 23:54: Today I had to use Skype, and I noticed that there's no way to change the microphone volume. There's no GUI for doing that. So I googled and, at the Ubuntu forums recommended to use pavucontrol as a unique pulse audio controller. Shouldn't we include this app in the distro? I mean, maybe more people need to control more device's levels and they have no choice. Or maybe I'm wrong and I'm not using the right tool.
