    A comment on the problem "Using wrong sound device in Ubuntu" in Participatory Culture Foundation (Miro):

    Thanks for the reply. I've been trying both the Xine and GStreamer renderer and can use both but none of them give any sound.

    Yes, it sounds like switching to gconfvideosink would solve the problem (as long as that sink handles the audio stream too). I'll try the new version when it becomes available and will let you know if I still get no sound.

    Thanks for you reply and all your hard work, Miro is great! – Tordj, on July 28, 2008 04:56

    Using wrong sound device in Ubuntu
    Hi,

    I've been using and enjoying Miro for about two months now and think it's a great open source product, but yesterday I ran into a problem I don't seem to be able to sort out.

    My mainboards sound card broke down and started to play bursts of static after getting warm so I ran out and bought a separate sound card and installed it.

    I use Ubuntu 8.04 (32-bit x86) and after changing default sound device in System->Preferences->Sound all programs I use, including non-gnome games etc plays their sounds fine.

    That is, all programs except for Miro who seems to be stuck on playing sounds through the old broken sound card. I've looked through program menus, looked for config-files and scanned through forums for some help but haven't been able to find any.

    Does anybody have any idea of what to do or will I simply have to download and hack the source to get it to work? I'm not a GTK or Linux developer so it would be an very ugly hack...
