oss crashed after install?

I see, so you basically approve that you have no actual prove for your statements but still claim they are correct. Explain me, why exactly should I believe one unfunded lie over the other? I have exactly zero reason to do that.
You say I believe in unfunded claims, but no, I do exactly the opposite. I don't think religion plays any role in this, so keep it for yourself.

Thanks for the hints however, I will take a look at those forums.

It seems that you are a kind of economist (Wirtschaftswissenschaftler or Ökonom). Right?

Imagine that there is an "exact lossless format converter" for audio files.
In this case, all audio files can be "losslessly compressed" into a sort of "8bit" format, for example.
This would essentially reduce the size of audio files.

However, all those "stupid audiophiles" are still using HiRes FLACs of 24bit format, instead of converting them into a kind "8bit lossless digital crap" for "economic reasons".

Hi,

I tried Opera and the browser playback was the same as Firfefox. Same stream stutters from Iheart.com KFI feed.

My Linux Mint Software Manager finds Audacity Version: 2.0.3-1.

From your discussion links it looks like you guys are discussing version 3.5 or greater.

Is what you'd like me to try worth pursuing with Version: 2.0.3-1?

As for speculation about my pitch issues I can say i noticed it when I moved from small town Florida to big city Illinois. I also hear more of those high pitched whines here. And there are more elctronics glitches here, city services/police radio related I'm sure. Really - Random remote control signals even! And I am 57...8>)

This old laptop has Harmen Karden labeled sound thru 1/2 inch speakers. Perception being what it is that may make it seem higher pitched... I can say the sound seems conjested/muted nasal, again in the browser. Headphones sound simularly conjested/muted nasal. But Banshee MP3's are clearer and seem correctly pitched. So that make me think an EQ may be useful. And I know how to use an EQ so I wonder if there is one for OSS.

What would be really cool would be a diff utility that would read a sample rate of known pitch audio files and compare that to the code output?

Cheers, Clyde

You may install Audacity from the official repository:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install audacity

All questions → Audacity forum, or mailing list.

So that make me think an EQ may be useful.

DeadBeef Player has an EQ. Semi-deaf Linux users do use such things, because they do not hear some frequencies.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install deadbeef

The Russian audiophiles are hating any EQs. They prefer DeadBeef with Petrov's plugin (see my previous answer above).

You mean flash videos right? Firefox has no oss support apart from flash videos. If you're interested in "real"/native firefox oss support (like also for HTML 5 videos) you should try this http://opensound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5767

It appears you mixed up Audacity for Audacious

I think I get your point. As you've said I'd need some more research on this.

Yup. Audacity is cool but it's not Audacious...

I'll get it and be back later.

It appears the acoustics in my new digs may have fooled me. Audacious allowed me to hear true pitch shifts. What I seemed to have heard is the tinny-ness of my laptop speakers.

However I now have a question about vimeo audio....

This video is representative of vimeo videos I don't get audio from:

http://vimeo.com/groups/blendertuts/videos/100508389

Yet vimeo videos embedded in Facebook have audio.

Firefox searches and remedies have not been useful in solving this for me yet.

Any thoughts?

My old SeaMonkey web browser v.2.16.2 plays it without problems.

Ubuntu Documentation: _https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeaMonkey
Home: _http://www.seamonkey-project.org/

If you have problems with installation, you may ask for help on Linux Mint forum.

_________________
EDIT: SeaMonkey seems to play it with Adobe Flash. All other "plugins" are disabled (Tools → "Add-ons Manager" → Plugins).
If Flash is disabled, it does not play both video and audio.

My Firefox does not play audio of this "vimeo video" (for some strange reason).

Perhaps, you may want to read something about codecs and plugins:

Firefox does not support OSS. There is a patch that implements OSS support in html5 videos http://www.opensound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5767&sid=6d3575506cd00a550142e04d71d59a39.
Or better and more recent version here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1021761

I forgot i installed Opera to compare sound on sites with Firefox.

Well Opera plays the Vimeo video and audio!

Also http://harryshearer.com/le-show/

and iHeart radio...

I think I'm set for a while.

Thanks!
