similar to: Testing and using a microphone

Hi, I'd like to get my microphone to work (mainly to use it with Skype). I've just been looking for a simple audio recording app, as I vaguely remember having seen such a thing before, only I can't seem to find it anymore. I'm using the default GNOME desktop with the latest CentOS 5. Any suggestions? Niki

Hello I threw together some Seamonkey 2.0 rpms for i386 and you can grab them from here http://lostsonsvault.org/dls/centos/ I dont have a 64 bit one yet but if someone would like to rebuild the src.rpm for 64 I will gladly host it, thanks. LostSon

Note: The Wiki for Skype needs a tiny update. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype It's not a Beta now. Last night, I downloaded and installed skype-2.0.0.63-centos.i586.rpm The Skype web site calls this a "Gold" release. I'm having the same problem I had when I tried to use the Skype Beta. It's not picking up audio from the microphone. The hardware works fine, when I'm

Hi, Earlier this day I started a thread about Skype not working with outgoing sound. Now I wonder if it's not a problem with my soundcard. I had a vague suspicion about this, but since it's way off the original topic, I decided to start a new thread about this. Here's what the soundcard looks like: [root at grossebertha etc]# lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel

Hey all I was sitting here thinking about things and I came up with an idea that sounded, at least in my head, like a good one. There has been a boom in things like twitter and brainbird and social networking setups in general. I was wondering if the project or anyone would be interested in setting up a status.net server specifically for the CentOS project ? Why? you ask, well here are some of

Hi all; I'm actually running RHEL 5.4 I installed the rpmforge centos repo (and disabled it). Then I installed the following: yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay libdvdnav lsdvd mplayerplug-in mplayer mplayer-gui compat-libstdc++-33 flash-plugin gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg libquicktime yum --enablerepo=rpmforge

The last time I wanted to record a voice announcement on my computer was a few years back, and as I recall I hooked up my Microsoft Lifechat headset and used Audacity to do the recording. Now I want to record a "recitation", which consists of me playing my piano and talking over it. I have a Casio CDP-230 digital piano but I've never tried hooking it up to my computer and making a

Hi, I have a CentOS 5.2 desktop with the RPMForge repo enabled. I just ran 'yum update', and there seems to be some trouble with the wxGTK apps. A simple 'yum update' gives this error message: --8<-------------------------------------------------------------------- --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.6.so.0 is needed by package

I have a Debian Sarge box that I am trying to get icecast2 and ices2 up and running on. I'm having problems, but do not know where to look to identify the problem. I have my audio working with ALSA - microphone in plays through my audio out. I'm running a basic configuration using the defaults provided, and the ALSA example config file for ices. When I try to connect to the server using

Here's why. I'm currently experimenting with CentOS on my workstation, trying out different desktop environments like GNOME3, KDE, MATE,

I want to uninstall the default version of firefox, however there appears to be 2 of the same rpm's installed and its complaining.. I've been in Solaris land for the last 5 years and my rpm skills aren't the most current; how is this achieved?

Hi, I've spent the best part of a sunny afternoon trying to get Skype to work on my CentOS 5 desktop. My soundcard seems configured OK. I can play sounds and hear them OK in my headset: $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*.wav I can record speech from my microphone OK: $ arecord > ~/test.wav ... although I have to say that sound quality seems rather poor. It's quite fuzzy. Other

Wanting to listen to magnatune.com while I worked, I discovered that flash is not working. It appears that I don't have libflashplayer, but yum tells me that no such package is available. I must need a different repo, I think, but what? Currently I have ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ adobe-linux-i386.repo epel-testing.repo CentOS-Base.repo kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo

I've tried some further debugging to see what mdf is actually doing. Instead of sending: tmp_out = (float)ref[i] - st->y[i+st->frame_size] to the output, I just sent st->y[i+st->frame_size] to see what was being subtracted from the microphone input. When I open this in Audacity, I see a very small signal at about -40dBm. The actual echo in my sample has a power closer to -20dBm.

I've managed to get Skype set up and working. I can hear the other person talking, but she can't hear me. During a conversation, I tried what I thought to be all possible settings in both the "Volume Control" application and in Skype itself. But no joy. To make matters more puzzling, I had skype working on this same machine last year using CentOS 5.6... or maybe it was

Thanks for alerting me to the new changes. I just tried the latest code from SVN, but unfortunately I still have just about the same results. The estimated echo that gets subtracted from the actual echo is such a small signal that it doesn't really result in any noticeable echo attenuation. I currently have my filter size set to 2 seconds even though the echo in my microphone file is only
