Description Andor Kiss 2011-02-04 12:27:19 UTC
This bug was supposed to be fixed in OO 3.3 and has existed in OO since 3.2 rc1.

Sound is duplicated in embedded video when played using presenter-console.  Sound is played from BOTH the main screen and the preview screen.  This is terrible.


WHY CAN'T THIS BUG THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR TWO YEARS BE FIXED ALREADY?

This make impress useless for laptop based presentations.

Comment 1 Andor Kiss 2011-02-09 20:34:12 UTC
Ok,

I've done some evaluation.

OO 3.3 and presenter-console 1.1.0 does not have this bug.

It seems that this bug is in LO 3.3 + p-c 1.1.0.

Perhaps it was introduced during the application of the GO-OO patches?

Let me know if I can help (sorry about the freak out tone of the previous post)

Current workaround is to uninstall presenter-console on Ubuntu 10.04.1
Comment 2 James King 2011-03-01 09:31:32 UTC
I experienced this bug as well with Ubuntu 10.10, LibreOffice 3.3.1, and LibreOffice presenter-console 1.1

Any embedded video will have sound repeated one second later. Sound that is present as actions attached to images is not echoed in the same fashion.

If there were a way to turn off the sound on the video in the presenter console, that would be an acceptable fix.

As it is, I can only use the presenter console whenever I do not have any embedded videos, which is unacceptable to me.
Comment 3 Vincent Mabillot 2011-11-29 08:39:49 UTC
I had duplicate this bug too.

When using presenter, LibreOffice seems to open to "application" and each one read his own sound stream.

I can stop the echo when using presenter I coould swap to audio sound controller and mute one of the two streams. But the stream channel appears only if a slide needs to stream sound. So you have to jump to your computer and swap to audio controller... It's not a real solution, but I hope it could help you to kill this unconfortable bug.

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.

Confirming this bug still exists on Linux with lodev-3.5.0 beta2.

Audio of BROKEN audio in Impress

This is NOT fixed.  This has been broken for F O U R  years.  On several different machines, different audio cards, different GPUs.  I will say the echo is getting closer and closer.  In about 12 years the echo will occur at the same time as the original sound, so might be a problem then  ;-)

How do you know? Have you tried the patch?

> This has been broken for F O U R  years.

It was fixed in OO.o more than 3 years ago and quickly broken again by fix for another bug. It should be more future-proof now.

David, how do I apply the patch to determine if it works? I don't see any sort of "installer" for the patch.

If I am the only person who does not know how to apply a patch to the software, then I apologize, but if I am not, then it's not really fixed for me. It's like telling me, "The problem with the car was the transaxle gear. Here's a new one, just install it and the car will be fixed." Unless I know how to install the transaxle gear, or pay someone to do it, the car isn't fixed. At the moment, LibreOffice is the same way.

I am using Lubuntu 11.10 and LibreOffice 3.5.1.2 at the moment. Please direct me to some step-by-step instructions so that I can install the patch and test it.

Sorry, but that was just a rant evoked by the tone of comment 10. By patch I meant the commit to master referenced in comment 9. It is not "installable" in any way--you would have to build libreoffice from git for yourself.

Bugzilla is primarily a tool for developers. If I set status to RESOLVED/FIXED, it means that I think it has been fixed, not that the fix is available in any current release.

You could try a nigtly build, e.g., from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Linux-x86_64_11-Release_Configuration/master/2012-04-04_11.33.29/ .

Download the code and build it...
Maybe it's simpeler to download a daily build:
