Ubuntu 12.04: Replacing pulseaudio with Alsa?

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 23963 / 1 Year ago, sun, january 29, 2023, 1:58:54

Because of skype sound issues I was told to replace pulseaudio with alsa. I only found a solution for Ubuntu 10.10.

Does this still work for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin?

Or does it still not make any sense to replace pulseaudio with alsa (as Jorge Castro said in his comment)?

Or should I stick to pulseaudio AND alsa?

I don't want to mess up my system. Thanks!

This seems to work, though you must understand that it isn't replacing pulseaudio with alsa but just removing pulseaudio(the front-end).

sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio

However alsa still needs a graphical user interface for you to easily communicate with it
say goodbye to the easy integrated indicator that Ubuntu comes with

sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

You can also do all of this in the Ubuntu Software Centre.
