Linpus Sound Drivers

On the very first day I bought my AAO, besides being able to do internet browsing and some document editing. I wanted 3 things out of the tiny laptop. Photo editing, raw photo conversion and being able to view divx files. The first two was addressed by installing GIMP and Rawstudio. The last item on my list was solved by installing VLC. Now VLC for me is an excellent player. However, there are times when I am trying to view movies, the sound gets a little scratchy. I tried using the normalize sound feature in VLC, this cured about 90% of the scratching sounds, but I still do get them. Could this be cured by some sort of driver upgrade?

 

Not sure if the two are connected, but following a recent update to the audio driver (Linpus) , sound quality has noticeably deteriorated with much higher background noise, particularly on one channel. I have reported this to Acer. Try rolling back to the older driver if you can.

 

Same here. Bad sound quality on my 5.1 :/ Rolling back to Ubuntu Good sound quality

 

I've got the same problem.
Anyone solved this?
TIA.

 

I use VLC 0.8.6.
I checked Extended GUI in Preferences-TAB.
In Audio filters I checked Headphone effect.
Problem seems to be solved...

 

I installed alsamixergui

Code:

sudo yum install alsamixergui

to give me more control and turned the pcm volume up and the master volume down.

Think vlc may have access to more sound volume controls than mplayer, because I didn't notice a problem before I installed vlc.

 

Re: Linpus Sound Drivers midi file

hello,

acer can not read the MIDI file

Linpus Sound Drivers midi files
does not exist ?

you have information?

 

Where can I find the sound driver? My sound has quit and I suppose that I need to reinstall. I will do without sound rather than reinstall linpus and lose my present configuration.
