Debian :: Sound Not Working In Lenny
Jun 30, 2010
I installed debian lenny on a compaq computer with 383Mb Ram, a P3 processor, on a 996Mb Partition. Then I ran Code: #apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg alsa-base alsa-utils hal udev xfce4 xfce4-goodies xfce4-mixer xfce4-mixer-alsa thunar-archive-plugin sudo slim Everything installed OK so I ran Code: $sudo alsaconf Everything worked OK until the end, then I get the error,
Code: Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...
amixer: Muxer attach default error: No such file or directory
Now ALSA is ready to use. For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun! and when I run Code: $aplay /usr/share/sounds/Front_Center.wav I get Code: ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory
[Code]....

recently installed lenny (5.0.4). I can't get any sound whatsoever (except pc speaker). I had to muck around with vlc to get video working, that works fine but there's still no sound. I have a C-media CMI8738 sound card, I've run alsaconf in root which seems to work fine, I've mucked around with alsamixer (v1.0.16) changing volumes and muting things but haven't had any change. Computer is an AMD Athlon xp2500.

I'm using Debian Lenny, the only problem that I have is that the sound card isn't recognize by the system, I have installed ALSA 1.0.20 and I followed several tutorials trying to enable my sound card (ATI tech Azalia (Intel HDA)but all tries fail.
So, after install another distro in the same pc I figured out that the sound card is enable and running by default, the ALSA version is the same -1.0.20- but the kernel is different -2.6.31.xx- so my questions are:
1. do you recommend me to upgrade my lenny's kernel to fix the problem?
2. is there a way to upgrade specific packages -for example samba, alsa, kernel- using unstable or testing versions instead of upgrade the entire distro? actually I'm confortable with lenny
3. what configuration should I check in the "other" distro to use that parameters in lenny?

After successfully installing Debian 5.0 stable from a CD, I noticed that there wasn't any sound. I unmuted the volume in Debian itself and there still wasn't any sound! I ran alsaconf and it came up as a VIA VT8233/A/8 sound card.

I have several computers based on ECS G41T-M motherboard, featuring ICH7 chipset with VIA VT1708B 8-ch audio codec. I've installed Debian Lenny 64-bit on it. The sound itself works, but mixer does not, thus, for example, I can not get my recording app working, changing volumes does not work etc.

I recently reinstalled Debian. Previously I had sound working in schroot without a problem. I simply added the user to the audio group ran alsaconf and it worked.Alsaconf has been removed from squeeze so I tried from Lenny. Alsaconf installs but does not find the sound card in the schroot. In deed it seems to be looking for amd64 modules (those of the host system).

I just did a regular install of debian lenny on a stand-alone machine. Now I want to add some new mp3-software. Debian doesn't like it if I install as root. A regular gets other negative results:
wlff@debian:~/My_Apps/mpg321-0.2.12-1$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... mawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking for gawk... (cached) mawk
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
wlff@debian:~/My_Apps/mpg321-0.2.12-1$
I did find the GNU-compiler in /usr/lib/gcc. So what could be wrong with gcc, and what about gawk, cc and cl?

I just did a fresh install of Debian lenny and I'm having an issue with the display driver. The system is defaulting to 1600x1200 and it's not allowing me to change it to a lower resolution. The PC has a Nvidia geForce 7050 display card and the monitor I bought with the machine goes up to 1366x768 resolution. I ran the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but nothing happens, it's only giving me options to change the keyboard. There is nothing on the xorg.conf for the monitor settings:
Seletion "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Apparently, the install did not picked up the display card automatically. I also looked up the drivers for the adapter and downloaded the nvidia-glx_173.14.09-5_i386.deb file but, don't know how to install it.

Well being a newbie I have discovered something (or so I think!) regarding abode's flash plugin (flashplugin-nonfree): As per instructions from this same forum I had installed and used successfully in my Lenny 64, ever since it came out, abode's flash by first adding in my /etc/apt/sources.list the following repository: deb [URL]. Lately and for quite some time flash would misbehave and I had to reinstall it continuously and more often until it would work in the end only for some hours.
I reinstalled Lenny believing I could get over it but instead I ended up without any flash working at all! No videos only sound. Next step I deleted etch backports (#) and installed the sid repository: deb [URL] unstable main contrib non-free and went:#apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree which downloaded and installed flash 10 (I had flash 9 through backports) and consequently deleted (#) after that sid's repository to avoid updating Lenny, placing backports again in place although I do not know why ! Now I have videos working.

i'm trying to get my WLan working, i do have a Broadcom BCM4312 lpphy WLan-Adapter (pci-id according to lspci -vnn is 14e4:4315) in my Lenove ideapad S12. My System is Debian Lenny, but in order for the WLan-Adapter to work I installed the 2.6.32-3-686 Kernel from debian squeeze (using apt-pinning). I than installed the b43-firmware as described in the debian wiki [URL]. I updated the init-ramfs, everything is working as expected, except for WLan.
It shows up using iwconfig, i can get it up and down using ifconfig (or ifup, ifdown). I can't do a scan using iwlist - it says: % iwlist wlan0 scan > Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable
It always fails, but not with the same error message. Sometimes it also comes up with > device or resource busy
Using dmesg I see reports about a fatal DMA error, resulting in a controller RESET. It says it's loading firmware 478.104 .

I've already went through the regular process of installation, adding the backports repository and doing the debian way installation, but somehow the system isn't assuming the plugin.
I've rebooted the web browser and even the entire system, but still the plugin does not work.

i was trying to use gnome and kde but i don't like them. I tried xfce and it seem to fit my needs but.My computer is used to be powered on for a weeks. While time passes, a process xfdesktop begin to use more and more memory and to free RAM i need to log out and log in again.
I tried squeeze yesterday on my virtual machine and it has 4.6 and seem not to have that bug, RAM usage is static(yes it still works when i write this and have memory usage 34492k, which is not changing for an hours of usage already), also 4.6 is MUCH better than 4.4.
i already tried adding squeeze to "sources.list" but i can see too many dependencies which should be upgraded if i install 4.6, i'm beginning to afraid it can crash entire GUI(or entire system, i can see there is libc6 required to be updated).

I'd been trying to get into Linux before I bought it so I figured that I would try to get it onto my new Mac so that I could use it wherever I am. I decided to try Debian Lenny 5.0.3 a whirl after reading about all the different distros available. I've successfully installed it and I can get to it with rEFIt, and I have quite a few things working such as the video drivers and wifi. However, I've had trouble getting it to a level where it'd be usable away from home. Here are the main problems I'm worried about:
1) I installed pommed but I still can't use the brightness keys to change the screen brightness. I'm not sure if there's some other workaround for this?
2) I tried some recommended power management packages (gnome-power-manager) but it doesn't seem to be accessible or functional right now. I don't have any way to control it or get to it that is obvious to me. Is an icon or anything supposed to appear on the task bar when you install or what? Getting some sort of power management on here is important because it gets really lousy battery life otherwise.
3) Being a Macbook, there's no right-click button. Multitouch would be really nice (two-finger scrolling!) but I'd be OK with ANY way to right-click with the touchpad. I have a wireless USB keyboard/mouse combo that works at home at least . . . right out of the box too!
4) I've seen some packages called the Mactel PPA, but they are made for Ubuntu. Since Debian and Ubuntu are so similar, is there any way to make those work on Lenny? I think that if I got those to work, I could fix some of the problems above. Or do I have to install Ubuntu?
5) I just noticed that the sound doesn't seem to work yet either.

After the latest update in testing, I found sound not to be working. I checked system config in KDE and found the wrong sound card set there. I changed it to the correct sound card, sound now works in some programs and not others (IE, Dragon Player and Amarok have sound, Kaffeine and Iceweasel do not).Sound does not work through the on board sound card.System beep sounds (through the onboard speaker) also fail to work.I've had similar problems in the past due to the inability to turn off the onboard sound, alsaconf has always fixed them, however debian has removed alsaconf from alsa-utils.

Okay so I've been trying to get my Powermac G5 running Debian. I thought it would be an interesting project and see what I can do with the PowerPC hardware. The problem, of course, is the sound. Since this a G5 it's one of the newer machines so I looked up the drivers for the sound card which is labeled "K2 KeyLargo Mac/IO" and found that I needed a combination of snd_aoa, snd_aoa_i2sbus, snd_aoa_soundbus_i2c, snd_aoa_fabric_layout, snd_aoa_soundbus, snd_aoa_codec_tas, snd_aoa_codec_onyx, and snd_aoa_tonnie (also many of the resources had both - and _ for these names mix matched and I would love to know if that makes a difference or not and what the proper names for these are because I've tried them both with the - and _ to make sure but, I think I'm missing something. I'm not good with sound).

I am having some trouble with my sound card, for what I understanded is not detected on my kernel, my kernel is the following: 2.6.26-2-686. I got a Debian Lenny Stable with Xfce4, my sound card comes incorporate with my motherboard that is an Asus P4S800D-X and my sound card is a SoundMaX.
I am sure that the kernel doesn't recognize it because when I put on a terminal: lspci | grep Audio, I don't get nothing. Also when I go on my Xfce task menu to Settings >> Mixer Settings, I just get a default mixer setting with no audio channels or nothing. I got all my alsa drivers intalled too.because I tried to go to www.asus.com homepage (Motherboard Manufacture) and I cannot find the driver of the sound card for linux.Where I can get this driver? Or can I update my kernel with Lenny stable version? if so, let me know what version and what repository to get it. Because before I had a Debian Squeeze testing with the Kernel 2.6.30 and worked fine.

apt-get suggetsed I should remove some packages I was no longer using. I've read the threads that explain this, but unfortunately I did that just now, not when I actually ran the damn command. I must say, however, that there were lots of things I wasn't actually using, so it was useful in a way. But there is a problem:
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and to get my sound keys working (the mute, volume up and volume down keys) I had to go to Settings-->Regional & Accessibility-->Keyboard Layout and there in Keyboard model I chose the option Dell Laptop/Notebook Inspiron 6xxx/8xxx. I know that's not exactly my model, but that made my sound keys work fine. Well, since I did the autoremove thing, that stopped working. I haven't got a clue what library was being used to get the sound keys working.

I have just installed Squeeze on my 5+ year old iBook G4 and it runs quite nicely and quite fast! I am very happy with it overall. Finally I have been able toinstall Debian on a piece of hardware. Dual boot is generally hopeless on Macs. So this is a single boot setup and I am quite happy with it. I have two major issues right now:1. There's something wrong with the sound system. I get the following error message when I clickon the small x to the right of Volume Control (on the upper right corner of my screen). See attached screen shot.

i installed debian squeeze on a dell dimenson 3000 and the sound isn't working here is the specifications of the [URL] the Alsa preferences brings up the device as an Intel ICH5
and the documentation for the machine comes out as AC97, Sound Blaster Emulation, ADI 1980 audio controller with 2.1 implementation
what kind of driver, firmware, modules needs to be installed in order for the sound to work properly

I have a problem with VLC media player. I just reinstall it and when I try to run any movie the sound is working well but there is no video. I already tried every video codecs in the settings but with the same result. I also tried to start first VLC and select the video but that does not change anything.
