As if starting with Ubuntu 9.10, Pulse replaced ALSA as the system's default sound driver. Although Pulse seems to have such an advantage over ALSA, it's still not as stable as alsa, for example, on my current computer, Pulse has caused me to be unable to use a microphone in Skype, which is a headache.

On the surface, since it is pulse, then we simply abandon it with ALSA on the line, but in the Ubuntu 10.04 version, the system built-in volume control function has become a part of the PulseAudio, if you directly remove PulseAudio, then The indicator-sound used to control the volume in Ubuntu is also removed and the system volume is not adjusted.

Fortunately, the Russian master made a audiohacks called the PPA, which provides a number of modified Gnome-media/applets/settings-daemon components, so that we can remove the PulseAudio after the replacement can be found Indicator-sound tools.

The following is the complete uninstall of Ubuntu 10.04 Pulseaduio process:

First uninstall off the PulseAudio:

Sudosudoapt-get Remove PulseAudio

sudo killall pulseaudioapt-get Remove PulseAudio

Then install Audiohacks:

Sudoadd-apt-repository Ppa:dtl131/ppa

Sudoapt-get Update

Sudoapt-get Remove Gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio

Sudoapt-get Installgstreamer0.10-alsa gnome-alsamixer alsa-oss python-alsaaudio gnome-applets Gnome-settings-daemon libcanberra0 libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk0 libgnome-media0 gnome-applets-data Libcanberra-gstreamer Alsa-tools

Run gstreamer-properties in the terminal and change the output input to ALSA.

If it is in the graphical interface system, log out the user and login again. Then right click on the GNOME panel and select Add to Panel–>volume control–>add.

Now my system has been able to use the Alsa in Skype, the microphone can work, and the system volume can be adjusted, tortured me for a long time Skype can not solve the voice problem perfectly. Finally, if you find that some players do not play properly, please change their output system from pulse to ALSA.
