Hi all, I've been searching for quite some time to a solution to my issue here but only now realised it is slightly different than I thought it was, hopefully I can find some help here!
I've installed Express Scribe 4.31 on Ubuntu 9.04, I also have the VEC 2-pedal USB device. It successfully detected the pedals and I was able to set their function.
The program is able to play the necessary files just fine it seems, however initially it was just closing completely whenever I used the pedals. Occasionally it would jump forward/back a large amount over a few presses but eventually it would just close again.
I changed the sound device in the playback settings from [Default Sound Out] to HDA Intel: ALC888 Analog (hw:0,0). Then whenever I used the pedals the program would hang and give me an empty dialog as in the attached screenshot.
(Ignore the 224% speed, it was doing this regardless of speed. I was just testing).
However, I only now bothered to try the fast forward/rewind buttons (clicking them), and noticed I get the exact same behaviour.
In short:
- When the output device is [Default Sound Out], FFWD/REW closes the program.
- When the output device is HDA Intel: ALC888 Analog (hw:0,0), FFWD/REW hangs the program as in the screenshot.
This leads me to believe the problem is not the pedals but something sound driver related...
Has anyone had this before?
Thanks a lot!
