HP Remote Graphics 4.2.0 User's Guide Select the Critical Battery Alarm program event and press the play button (the triangle located next to the Browse button). The wav file associated with this event is recorded at near maximum intensity. If you can play this sound without distortion, you should play mosts sounds without distortion. Some media applications modify their audio signal prior to sending it to the audio device. The Windows Media Player may appear to distort some audio files. This is due to signal modification by some kind of enhancement such as an equalizer. Installing Audio on a Receiver for Linux If you install audio on a Receiver for Linux the audio component uses the JACK sound server API. JACK is a low late ncy sound server that works in conjunction with the ALSA sound drivers to mix and direct audio on your system. It runs as a daemon in the background and acts as a "patch bay" for audio connections and applications that use the JACK interface. For reliable audio support with the Receiver for Linux, the bundled versions of the ALSA sound libraries and JACK Audio Connection Kit software must be built and installed. Versions of ALSA prior to the version provided with the installer may yield unsupportable results. Removal of these previous versions is advised prior to reinstallation of ALSA software. If multiple audio devices are installed in a system, administrators should identify the target audio system prior to installing the included ALSA software. 28
