Can't Install Logitech G35 Headset

Hey there,

I recently switched from windows to linux, but am still having some problems adapting. What bothers me the most is that I cant use my headset properly. When I plug it in without having installed the driver software necessary to run the surround sound, it only sends part of my sound to my headset, the rest gets played by my laptop's speakers. I have tried installing the driver software while working with wine windows program loader, but each time I get the 'sorry, this software is not compatible with your OS'. Does anyone have an idea how I could solve this so I can use my headset properly again? I am running the xUbuntu version.

Thanks in advance!

Jumping From Windows 7 To Linux: Home User

Hello

As a learning experience, I want to jump from Windows 7 to Linux full time on my laptop. This isn't because of some antiWindows bullshit or because its free or anything like that. I just want to learn the ins and outs of Linux like I pretty much know on Windows.

I plan to go with Ubuntu. LTS or latest stable version? Thoughts?

First off, compatibility. I do need that all my hardware on my laptop be compatible. From shortcut keys to wifi. This is not a brand new laptop so there shouldn't be any problems. Its a Dell Vostro 1510.

Next, software. Basically on this laptop software I use in and out: uTorrent, Teamviewer, WMP, mIRC, Skype, vSphere Client, Microsoft Office......That's pretty much it IMO. Also Facebook and YouTube (Flash) are a must. I will run all this software in WINE. I don't want (most) of the Linux ports. Im not looking to replace programs I like and use daily. Just looking to replace the operating system.

Next, virtualization. Due to some things (like Office) cannot be ran in Linux, I use a VM. VMWare with its unity feature pretty much gives me what I want.

Next, streaming. I need to be able to stream media from a WS2012R2 to this Linux installation. Special setup?

Anything that is blowing over me, please mention.

Thank you

No Sound

I am getting no response from my speakers. I'm not sure if xubunto has install my sound card device driver correctly. Running xubuntu under vmware player.

Should I Post In The Software Or Hardware Section For This Problem?

To prevent spamming your awesome forum, and to most efficiently find an answer to my problem, should I post my problem in the hardware or software sub-forum?

I am having a problem with a new video card I installed: The nvidia driver for my GTX 570 will not load properly. Because it is a new video card and prevents me from using my monitor properly, I feel like it should go in 'hardware'. On the other hand, because it is a driver problem, I feel like it should go in 'software'.

Because I don't have much experience in this forum, I wasn't sure and thought it would be best to ask for now as well as future reference.

Thank you in advance!

Sourround Sound Not Working On Linux Mint 17.1

Hello

I have linux mint 17.1 cinnamon installed on my computer, but the surround sound is not working (I only get stereo from two speakers)

When I run lspci I can see that my card is called

C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8738/CMI8768 PCI Audio (rev 10)

there is another embeded card that came with my computer called

[AMD/ATI] Trinity HDMI Audio Controller

but I have my speakers hooked up to the first one and I have selected this card in the "output device" option on the lower right hand side of the screen, and I have selected the sound setting "analgog 4.0 surround".

My surround sound used to work when I had windows xp and xubuntu installed on an older computer with the same surround sound card attached. So I can't understand why it is not working now.

Can anyone help me with this?

when I run

aplay -l

I get:

Problem Installing Radeon Driver Packages With Second Debian Install

I have a debian OS on a partition on my hard disk (sda1).
There was no sound because the ati rs880/radeon 4200 sound card needed drivers which were only in the debian 'non-free' version'.
So I added the non-free version to my install and also had to make a change to the GRUB bootloader file.
After that, I got sound.

Now I've installed a new debian distro to my second partition - sda2.
This time I ensured I installed the debian non-free version.
But I'm having trouble installing the drivers for the sound card.

I go into Synaptic package manager to install the relevant drivers and it gives me an error message:
Code:
Configuring libfglrx - install Fglrx driver despite unsupported graphics card?

I'm not sure what that means because I want the drivers for my sound card - not graphics.
When I press the 'Help' button, it says:
Code:
This system has a graphics card which is no longer handled by the Fglrx driver...
The above card requires either the non-free legacy Fgrlx driver 
(package fgrlx-legacy-driver) or the free Radeon driver (package xserver-xorg-video-radeon).

This is fine because I can just install the 'free Radeon driver'.

But the Help message then says:
Code:
Before the Radeon driver can be used you must remove Fglrx configuration from xorg.conf 
(and xorg.conf.d/)
Note that switching to the free Radeon driver requires the fglrx-driver package to be purged (not just removed).

So now I don't know what to do. Has anyone had this error message?
I know I can enable sound and have no problems with the graphics card because that's what happened with my original install on sda1.

But with the install on sda2, I don't know how to approach this problem.
Can anyone help please?

When Looking To Install Software On Xubuntu What Types (xfce Etc.) Will Work?

I just asked a question about Xubuntu and things are a little clearer now. But when I go to install new software or apps is the only thing that will work with Xubuntu something that says it's compatible with xfce?

I don't think that's the case, because I remember installing stuff like the text editor Kate that was more like other things than xfce but it works great anyway.

But what would be really helpful would be if someone could give me a list of the different kinds (I don't even know what they're called but the software programs or apps say things like 'works with KDE or Debian or GTK2 etc.') of things that will work with Xubuntu.

Thanks.

CrossOver Or Wine (or Other Interface)

Sorry in advance, I first posted the question in the Software Forum, considering there were no replies I thought maybe it was a newb error.

So here goes..

HI everyone,

I am trying to find a way to ditch MS OS's, however, at the present time I Need MS Office, without using a VM, is there a piece of software that you would recommend I install that would enable me to keep my Linux OS (MInt-Mate), and install Office 2010+ (I know WIne works well with older Office versions).

Any and all ideas are greatly appreciated.

ps. Trial and error is fine, for that reason alone I have a laptop-labrat I Use.

Thanks again.

No Sound ALSA On Ubuntu 12.04

Hi I a running Ubunto 12.04 on a HP PC with an onboard intel analaog sound card

(ALC662) and a HDMI connection into my TV.
I use this PC for Mythtv and Kodi using the sound over HDMI which works a treat in MythTV however I cannot get the sound to work on Kodi, Firefox or any other app which I presume is down to misconfigured ALSA setup, I had this working previously but it stopped and I am not sure why, possible updates.

Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid, Fresh Install. What Is Default Sound System?

Hi,

Although I've been using linux several years back. I am not a fast learner so here goes a question I should understand long ago.

I have installed fresh Ubuntu 15.04 netinstall.

After that install xorg and windows manager.
Sound was working.
Then I wanted to check the mixer and I used to alsamixer, and strange the app was not there.
I have tried all alsa* binaries but none of them was installed.

How can I findout what sound system is running?

Thanks

New Debian 7.7 Non-free Install - Sound Not Working.

Hello everyone.
I have just installed debian stable non-free onto my hard drive but the sound isn't working.

I've been to the debian site https://wiki.debian.org/SoundConfiguration and found that 'users' don't automatically have access to audio (for security reasons).
So I did the following command as root (sudo):
Code:
adduser USER_NAME audio

Now when I am 'user', I can get sound.

I also did:
Code:
chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0
adduser USER_ID cdrom

This allows 'user' to get sound from the cdrom.

I then went onto the debian soundfaq https://wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ

From the 'lspci -v' command, I get these 2 outputs which have the word 'audio' in it:
Code:
01:05.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series]
	Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device 960f
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19
	Memory at fdefc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3
	Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
	Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device a102
	Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
	Memory at fe024000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

So I have 2 sound cards.

The debian website says: 'If sound does not work for root account as well, then that means that either your sound card is not supported by Debian or it was not configured properly'.

Ok, so the first part of the statement is worrying.
So I went to the debian device driver check page http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ and did 'lspci -n'.
The output can be pasted onto their web page and debian will say if the sound cards are supported.
The web page shows that the sound cards are supported:

Quote:
10024383 Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) snd-hda-intel v2.6.25
10029715 Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4250] radeon v2.6.35-
1002970f Yes Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4200 Series] snd-hda-intel v2.6.27-
So now I'm guessing that my sound cards are 'not configured properly'. But I've run a Youtube video and then changed the sound cards under alsamixer and I still don't get sound.
Is there is a simple solution to this please? Thank you in advance.
