Debian Hardware :: Alsa Do Not Work On 8.3
Mar 16, 2016
Debian 8.3 has no sound. Removing/reinstall pulseaudio/alsa-base had no dice.
There was no "alsa force-reload" command on this Debian system.
Detailed info about this alsa: [URL] ....
The sound system was normal (music can be heard) on this pc if installed ubuntu 15.10, here is detailed info about alsa on ubuntu: [URL] ....
Error occurred in both aplay and speak-test:
Code: Select allaplay -D hw:PCH,0 06.wav
Playing WAVE '06.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: pcm_write:1939: write error: Input/output error
Code: Select allaa@de:~$ speaker-test -D plughw:PCH,0 -c 2
[Code] .....
Should(How can) I compile/upgrade alsa to the latest version?

I'm having some trouble getting ALSA working on my system. I had been using OSS for awhile but decided to move to ALSA after a kernel upgrade. ALSA worked fine except for the tedious chore of having to run alsaconf everytime I booted up. I was getting errors message for OSS during boot up telling me OSS modules weren't loading properly and linux-headers needed to be installed to get it to work properly again. I ended up installing the linux-headers later due to some nvidia driver fiddling. My system has now reverted back to OSS and I can't seem to get ALSA to work at all. I have libasound2, alsa-base, alsa-utils and alsa-oss installed and alsaconf says no ALSA modules are loaded. I've been searching around and haven't found how to get rid of OSS to install ALSA properly.
Distro: Debian Lenny
Kernel: 2.6.26-2-686
Sound Card: Creative Labs SB Audigy
OSSv4.1
ALSAv-current packages according to synaptic

I tried to uninstall ALSA and install OSS4. But it seems that ALSA was not the issue. Anyway:
I don't know how to reinstall alsa. I'm using Debian Squeeze(stable).
Tried this code...
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

I am having problems getting sound to work. I have pasted my output from AlsaInfo.sh in hopes that someone can assist me. I have been able to fix this with the AlsaCompile scripts for Ubuntu. I am wondering if this is a distro related issue. If not I will gladly send to the alsa project.

- One sidenote that I will mention is the fact that I DO HEAR SOUND from the following command (and only this command)

I'm on Ubuntu9.10 with pulseaudio setup, everything works fine so far. But when I try to record my Desktop with xvidcap or recordmydesktop I'm unable to get the sound working.
xvidcap uses only OSS so I tried to setup the emulation by loading the kernel modules and adding the following lines to /etc/modules:
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss

trying to get ALSA running on a mainboard with onboard Intel soundchip using the snd-hda-intel driver. aplay detects no devices and amixer says: "Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory". Tried everything from the ALSA troubleshooting manual but no success... why is the card not recognized?Here is the output of a debug script I found. Up to now I just did "configure;make;make install" with alsa-utils, alsa-lib and alsa-driver...

I'm using F11, KDE4. I have uninstalled Pulseaudio as it's unusable for my configuration (2 souncards, one of them a M Audio Delta 66). In order to not have Phonon blocking my M Audio Delta 66 card I need to use DMix. The built in ALSA dmix support doesn't show up in Phonon (System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference) but I found out after some research how to add your own dmixer in the ~/.asoundrc file. Here are a few links:
http://noneus.de/?p=50
http://ptaff.ca/ptaffgnu/2009-07/124...dmix_et_phonon
http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Setting_up_Dmix_for_ALSA
http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin#7...e_ICE1712_chip
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474259
[Code]...
It might depend on the way it tries to access this device. When you hover the "DMixer" device it displays it will try the following devices: 1. ALSA: dmixer I think it should rather be ALSA: plug:dmixer But I can't figure out where you are able to configure this, does anyone know? I also wonder how I can remove the Pulseaudio entry in phonon. This is not important but still though PA is uninstalled. There is a Remove button but it's always disabled.

I am experiencing problems with the Gnome ALSA Mixer. I installed Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro inside Windows (I am running Windows via bootcamp), and when I am running Ubuntu the sound doesn't work. After researching the problem online, I was told that one needed to download an application called the "Gnome ALSA Mixer", and switch the mute to off (apparently the mute is default). I downloaded the application, but whenever I try to run it the application window is blank. There are no controls of any sort. I was told when installing Ubuntu inside windows that the disk efficiency (I think thats what is was) is very much reduced, but I don't know if this has anything to do with that.
Also, is there a way to prevent the trackpad from registering stimulus while typing? I find it very obnoxious that every time I try to type in my password or the like that the curser clicks off of where I'm typing, so I am constantly having to move the pointer back and re-click in the area I'm trying to type in (if that makes sense).

I have made a pretty sizable mistake. I was trying to figure out why my game was having sound issues when I was told to update my sound drivers. After a bit of searching, I came across this website. I downloaded and ran the script in the first link. Minor problem: I was using PulseAudio, not ALSA. Needless to say, the script didn't work. After the machine rebooted, I had no sound at all. I was planning on switching to ALSA anyway, so I found this thread and ran the following commands:

I have recently been forced to do a hardware upgrade (my previous mobo died). Now, sounds works ok with,amarok because kde has recognized the new hardware and switched to it.
..... does not work, likely because flash uses alsa-oss which is probably not configured automatically. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both alsa-oss and flash, but it didn't solve the problem.

I have been experiencing this peculiar issue with Ubuntu 9.10. Whenever the system boots, the audio doesn't work but when I do a 'sudo alsa force-reload', the volume icon gets muted and on unmuting it the audio works. This is the information regarding the audio device I get on doing lspci

I have a computer without a soundcard and want to stream sound from it. How can I force ALSA to ignore the lack of a soundcard? Whatever I try to do, it complains that it cannot find one.Or could I trick ALSA by making a file /dev/dsp that links to /dev/null or something like that?

Regarding ALSA and PulseAudio - Explanation on how these two interact. After installing Debian I realised that my sound control (Volume Control: HDA Intel ALSA mixer) was different from what I had with Ubuntu where it would display a window called "Sound properties" in which allowed me to control the sound of each program running - I believe this is the PulseAudio aspect. (If I'm wrong at this point please correct me)
Now I have managed to get PulseAudio setup correctly for me (not as easily as Ubuntu but I moved to Debian to learn, not be spoon fed), however the way in which I did it may of been wrong - pretty much just went to synaptic and installed everything with PulseAudio in its name
Currently the sound icon in my top Gnome panel (within the notification area applet) has the ALSA mixer, sometimes when I log on it has the PulseAudio one (Sound preferences window), I don't really mind which one is loaded thanks to the PulseAudio Volume Control program (under Sound & Video). Is there a way though to stick with just one?

I am using Debian testing. If I install the gnome-desktop-environment then the sound driver defaults to HDA but since I just installed gnome-core (for a more stripped-down version of gnome) the default is the OSS driver. How do I get ALSA to default to the sound driver HDA?

I just did a reinstall of Debian testing last night, and today I am configuring the system to my liking. I just clicked on the mixer in the tray, and the only option I get is Realtek ALC269. Before I could use ALSA. What happened, and how can I get ALSA back?
I did an "apt-get install alsa" to see if I could even get ALSA, and it downloaded and installed. I still can't seem to get ALSA working down there.

I was upgrading manually my ALSA to the latest version -1.0.23-, so after reboot I got several errors related to ALSA telling me that NO SOUND CARDS Found. so the system is freezed when tries to connect to the network but after that, the system is stopped, nothing else happens, I tried to Ctrl+C and reboot as "single user mode" and still nothing, when I rebooted I can see a message that says: "busy trying to mount /" .So my questions are:
1. is there a way to log into the system?
2. is there a way to deactivate this driver on startup?
3. when I can login, how can I remove the failed alsa driver?
if this helps, I have another linux distro running in the same HDD, so maybe I can do something for debian for that distro

VLC says: "main input error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late" when I am playing back most Bluray discs I have tried.
See this bug post for what I am talking about: [URL].... It has to do with playing back h264 video with ALSA.
Possible fixes:
1. Obtain VLC 2.2.2 - see below
2. Fix by Modax here: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10422 - not currently using dmix and not sure how this will relate to HDMI sound
3. Use Pulseaudio - this does not work for me to get HDMI sound and I do not use Pulseaudio as a rule
I have just tried to compile VLC 2.2.2 and the configure script finished properly but early in the build it fails.
With make the error is:
Code: Select alljason@MEDIA:~/vlc-2.2.2$ make -j4
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jason/vlc-2.2.2'
Making all in compat
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/jason/vlc-2.2.2/compat'
GEN dummy.c
make all-am
[Code] ....
And with compile the error is:
Code: Select allMAKE : compat
MAKE : doc
MAKE : po
MAKE : share

I have tried installing 3 different versions of libua-dev, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. What could be the problem?
With the bugged audio drivers I'm going to replace the computer but it would still be nice to be able to know the solution to compiling VLC 2.2.2.

I'm using Debian squeezy amd64-based with KDE4.3 from the repo. I've installed kde-minimal package with some additional packages from KDE. Also I have GNOME installed on my system.
So the problem is that when I'm in KDE alsa is not shares between applications. It means that when I'm listening Amarok, for example, I can't play any other sounds in the system, not in browser or KPlayer. And if I stop Amarok playback, I can start listening some other application or watch a movie with a sound.
It looks like I'm using good old OSS again. Back to the 90's =)
In gnome meanwhile all works fine. I suggest that I'm missing some configuration or a package, or something else. I've also tried to install kde-full package, but nothing changed.

I am using a couple of Debian Distro (Sid and Lenny) add some Ubuntu into the mix. I made the switch because I was amazed and satisfied with Debian --> once installed, everything works. For me that's okay for o so many years now. I don't question a lot because it just works and I do my job on it satisfactorily. Namely programming the LAMP style programming. Lately I have been using Debian to communicate over the internet -- using Skype and Pidgin and other such things, not to mention listening to music, watching movies, just using the default applications when I originally install Debian.
Along the way, I need to configure something -- that is desktop related -- like the screen resolution of a new LCD monitor replacing the old one and such. Now about my sound -- I'm not touching it because it is working. But that is not the case always. Now I have a constant error -- it is irritating. Rhythmbox don't make a sound always when I have open a web browser (iceweasel, chrome, epiphany) and a site with multimedia object on it -- like a video or something. So how do I correct this? How do I know, too what I am using -- ALSA or Pulseaudio?

So I've got a new system on which I had to re-install Debian, and I've been trying to fix the sound today, but it doesn't seem to work... I've kept the same ALSA configuration (except a minor adjustment to the card number as this system appears to have two cards instead of one), but it doesn't seem to work as expected. I got this weird error while running an app that uses ALSA:
Code: Select allALSA sound driver initializing...
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1024:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
--> (Device: default)...Failed: Operation not permitted
In VLC it works fine, provided that I manually choose the right device under Audio -> Audio Device.here's my /etc/asound.conf:
Code: Select alldefaults.ctl.card 1
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"

I'm trying to monitor (listen to) a second ALSA device on the default first card (#0). The device seems properly configured - for example, Audacity can select the device and record from it just fine; and when I select "Start Monitoring" in the volume level menu (the small triangle..), the volume level reacts to the captured stream. The only thing missing is the actual sound.
Before going any further, here are my specs; up-to-date Debian Squeeze on amd64 (x86_64), kernel 2.6.33.2.
Output of aplay -l:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: VT1828S Analog [VT1828S Analog]
Subdevices: 1/2
[Code]...
p.s. In case you feel inclined to tell me the command above should be just fine for me and not to waste my time with looking for an easier way; that only works when no other application has the default device (or the second device!) in its claws.
p.s.#2 : You probably noticed that the device is actually the third ALSA device. The real second device has no playback. I'm assuming this is no problem, since the same problem applies to that card.

As alsaconf as been removed from alsa-utils in Squeeze, how to configure ALSA ?
Which replacement for alsaconf ?
Debian is squeeze.
Package alsa-utils v1.0.22-1
Currently alsamixer is running fine for setup but i.e. speaker-test produce no sound.
Previous Lenny installation was working once alsaconf ran.

I recently bought a Dell 10v netbook and put Debian lenny on it. I got everything up and running, except that sound doesn't work. Two links I found said that the solution was to download alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, and alsa-util from the ALSA website and ./configure && make && make install:
[URL]
Another source says this can be fixed on Etch by recompiling alsa from source:
[URL]
However, I'm running stable lenny, and I'd rather do things the "right" way instead of doing a regular make install. Is there a way to grab the binary packages from testing/unstable and install those without problems? If that's not possible, can I grab the source package from testing/unstable and use that? If that's not possible, can I download the source from ALSA's website and build a package myself?

Would like to know the best way (or the pros and cons of different ways) to set up Alsa. I did a search for information on how to setup alsa on my system. I found a lot of out-of-date information even on the alsa wiki. What I did finally locate was two different methods for setup, both seemed somewhat up-to-date. One method at the alsa wiki said to put part of the information in the modprobe directory in a conf file and set up certain aliases. Earlier suggestions for putting information in modprobe.conf or conf.modprobe appear to be outdated and a directory with separate files for each device and a conf extension to the files is currently used. The second method from a thread on the Debian forum said to use alsactl init, set sound levels the way you want and then use alsactl save and restore functionality. Older methods using alsaconf instead of alsactl init appear to be outdated as well. Not sure where to put the call to alsactl restore though. Didn't notice that in the documentation.In case it matters, I'm running Debian Stable and have a built-in sound card on the motherboard with AC97 compatibility. It's a Realtek ALC882.
Is there a preferred or better method for setting up alsa? Is there a good pointer to instructions that are not out-of-date somewhere? Would be very interested to hear how others set sound up on their machines. What do others recommend as best steps to do this?

Alsa is currently using my HDMI port to play sounds through using card0 "ATI R6xx HDMI". I'm on a laptop and I want to be able to use my laptop speakers and headphone jack so how do I set alsa to use card1 which is "Conexant CX20582"?

This is probably one of those situations easy to solve but I haven't had any success as I've been messing around with the sound handling in my system.
I found it had running ALSA, OSS and PulseAudio and ended up purging everything in the system except for ALSA. Pulse Audio, for some reason, would shut down the sound-card when I muted sound though keyboard shortcut; after that, I had to manually open the sound table and enable a master control that would always remained closed.
Now, after purging the system of the excess baggage, ALSA will not retain the settings of the user; system will always reboot with PCM sound control fully closed.

I recently bought a logitech headset which is working very nice, the thing is that I cannot make it my default device when I plug it in. I edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to make snd-usb-audio the default card but it only works when the computer is turned on with the headset plugged in. A workaround is to plug it and then "alsa force-reload" but I find it very ugly plus it kills all apps using audio and leaves the volume indicator unstable.

In the process of trying to get the softmodem working, I finally attached speakers to this laptop and tried to play some sounds. Nothing but silence. Both the KDE system sounds and a stand-alone player (noatun) produce nothing. No error messages that I can find, either. (That might explain why the softmodem is dead, too...) I've run alsaconf several times, and even uninstalled and reinstalled ALSA. It thinks it is working, but is not. What sorts of things do I need to check to find where it isn't working?
Info: The motherboard is a FIC 3500W with the VIA P4M800 integrated chipset. This includes the VIA 8237 sound system, which is what ALSA detects and tries to use. The machine also has a Realtek ALC655 but I don't see any drivers for that in the lsmod output, so this is a possible source of the trouble.

The sysytem I use is Debian Squeeze. what's wrong but jackd2 from debian official repositories does not work with alsa (I have alsa-base, alsa-tools, libaudio-dev, libaudiofile-dev and libasound2-dev installed). Now I downloaded fresh jackd2 source from sourceforge and when I try to "./waf -configure" it it says that there is no alsa package or it's too old in the system and configures itself without alsa support.
