Debian :: XFCE Lost All Sound
May 11, 2015
I recently freshly installed Debian 8 (stable) XFCE.Everything was working fine. I installed Skype (using the instructions in the Debian wiki) and that worked no problem. I then installed libavcodec56-extra (just to have the extra codecs ready in case needed), and Synaptic also installed the i386 version also.After that, no sound (anywhere at all).I reinstalled libavcodec-56 (and the i386 version) to try to rectify the problem, but the sound has not returned.
As per a google seacrh, i installed pulse audio. This showed me that the the 'levels' were moving in line with the sounds which should have been playing, but no amount of tweaking managed to get the sound to come out. I have Mint installed on the same machine and the sound works fine here so i know for sure it is not a hardware issue.

I am using XFCE on Debian Squeeze.
Last night, when I logged in, I only got the desktop with whatever icons I have set on the desktop. The menu bar and the taskbars have disappeared completely.
Is there a way to recover this? Is this a common behaviour? I used to get this problem when I tried out QIMO.

I was having a problem with the sound not going up to a high volume on my machine, so I tried following some online tutorials and ended up destroying the sound system on my machine. Now, instead of just having quite sound, I have no sound. The machine is a Dell Precision server and the attached files show my sound configuration. Ideally, I would like a way to make the sound louder (>100%), but now I will settle for just having sound.

I've recently installed Mint XFCE (Debian based). After activating the backport repos, a lot of things were upgraded, one of them being XFCE, which upgraded to 4.8. After that, I can't listen to songs or hear any kind of audio. Prior to the update, everything was OK. Why do I get only the "dummy output" indication? I've been using Linux for more than three years, so I have some knowledge on the sport. Nevertheless, I've never had such an issue.

I installed Debian 8.2 XFCE but i just can't get the sound to work. With speaker-test in console the sounddevice works, but in any other application it doesn't.
I checked if the channels in the alsamixer were muted and tried everything I could think of but i couldn't get it to work on XFCE. On GNOME it works fine.

I am installing canberra for event sound and input feed back sound. I installed freedesktop sound theme and moblin. All sound files are there but only trash empty event trigger sound.
Other events like: login, dialog error , etc etc no sound...
For login I created login.ogg link to destop-login.ogg but canberra-gtk-play claim unknown event id?
I like to have startup sound at xfce login and other event...

I'm running 32bit Lenny on an older Dell Dimension 2400 running the 2.6.26 Kernel. This box was mainly used to play movies for my son over the network (most are encoded by me using xvid and lame). One of my kids wanted to use the computer to watch videos on ...... I attempted to install the flashplugin-nonfree from the backports and it kept timing out on downloading the package, so I ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade. I rebooted and tried the flashplugin-nonfree again and finally got ..... videos to play but there was no sound. I assumed it was a permission issue, so I switched users and attempted to play some of the movies which I've played before and currently the video plays fine but the audio sounds very ugly. I attempted to play an mp3 using mpg123 from the command line and I get mostly static. You can hear some sound but it's all jumbled and there is a lot of static. I have a creative soundblaster card using the EMU10k1 driver. Everything was working fine before I started mucking with the flashplugin and I'm afraid something I "upgraded" may have caused my issue.
Any suggestions? Is there a way I can remove any sound related drivers etc and attempt to reinstall them? I attempted to run sudo alsaconf but afterwards, it acts like there is no sound card. a reboot resolves that issue as I didn't save any changes, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I've become spoiled by all of the newer distros which detect all of my hardware and everything is configured for me.

I don't know what I did but I lost all audio. I'm running F15 with gnome 3. By opening system settings and then sound I don't find anything muted. Under hardware I have 3 devices, the first is RS880 Audio Device (Radeon HD 4200) this one has no sound at all when I click test speakers. Then I have quickcam comm STX and then I have Internal Audio which works by clicking on test speakers.. I have no clue of where to start to fix this but reinstall everything again.

openSUSE 11.2 64bit
libxine1 from Packman
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
Maybe it's just an Amarok2 problem, but whenever another app (for example Konversation) plays a sound file, the audio instantly cuts out (in Amarok2) and will not come back unless I quit Amarok2 and restart it.
Amarok2 has only the options - "HDA ATI SB VT 1708S Analog" or "PulseAudio" (which is NOT installed).

Also I am totally confused by the mixer, it has so many knobs that I am totally lost!
here's a lovely pic - [URL]

I'm a fairly new Ununtu user who has just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Aspire One D260, to get rid of my virus-ridden Windows and have mostly been happy with the results so far.
After a little experimentation, I decided that I preferred xfce over gnome and KDE as my window manager, but have encountered a little problem (actually it's a medium size problem) I don't get any sound from Rhythmbox It worked before perfectly with gnome but since I installed xfce, big silence when I try to play music.
Other applicatons such as Firefox and VLC produce sound perfectly, but when I try to play music in Rhythmbox, nothing comes out of the speakers. It appears to be playing normally with the progress bar moving normally.
I'm willing to use another music player if necessary but rhythmbox seems to be the most recommended one for linux and I liked it when it worked with gnome.

Basically every bootup I have to select alsamixer and unmute the speaker channel. OR use the xfce mixer and select the speaker switch, which starts unselected.

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.40, I no longer have sound, except for the Ubuntu sound when it loads during start up. Does anyone know how I can recover sound on my computer?

I just restarted my computer, and now I have no sound whatsoever. I did not download, or install anything. The only thing I did was adding a user.

Just got a pretty fresh install of Debian/XFCE. Both monitors work out of the box on my 8400GS. I was unable to find an option to change it so I can span is as 1 work space instead of having them mirrored.

I'm using a Lenovo (IBM) Think Pad R51.
Here is the link to the website with sound debug information:
HTML Code: [URL]
I get terminal output from a sound test that suggests all is fine:
Code:
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
speaker-test 1.0.23
Playback device is plug:front
[Code]....
Even I can see that the last bit is probably a problem. However, don't have a clue as to how to proceed.

As a "computer expert" providing assistance to my friends, I always find myself asking "what did you do?" and the reply is often "Nothing! The thing just stopped working". I'm having this kind of experience with myself right now. My SB0570/CA0106 setup that has worked in lots of Suse releases stopped working. It is silent. I dualboot with windows 7 and there the sound works IF I turn off the computer so that the soundcard can reset itself after using OpenSuse. Otherwise, Windows is silent too.
I installed the glibc pathes for 11.3. I have downgraded them and rebooted: No change so that's probably not it. Otherwise no changes where made to that OS that I'm aware of. I ran alsa-info and uploaded it here : [URL].
I have tried speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
No error messages and no sound. I have tried it from the console without kde so that is not it. What would be the best way to completely reset sound configuration and start over? I had sound working on 11.3 two days ago.

I have had such good sucess with Ubuntu that this took me by surprise. Last week after an update I was suddenly without sound in Karmic Koala. Fortunately. I also have Lucid Lynx and the sound is OK there. I really gave it a dedicated try but was unable to get any sound.

Recently, I suddenly lost all sound coming in from firefox. Other sound works fine (e.g. Amarok), but I can't get any sound from type of source on the internet. There's also no sound coming from Opera.
Am running 10.04 from upgrade.

The startup sound just desappeared. The Gnome Login Sound is still on the list of starting programs and the command is right (/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play id=desktop-login description=GNOME Login). What makes it more weird is, that it works fine on all other users. I started to suffer from this problem since I tried to change the sound (I have done it before with no problems). At the same time with changing the startup sound I installed PulseAudio volume control. Could these things have something doing with my startup sound desappearence?

I have connected the PC to an amplifier via optical cable. Everything was working fine. Suddenly, I lost sound! The last things I was doing was extracting some CDs by Sound Juicer and I installed a program named setcd. I thought it was the new software conflicting, so I uninstalled it. However, still no sound. I check the sound settings and find to be the same as before.

I upgraded to Maverick things generally went well - but I noticed TWO sound controls and removed one - later after a reboot I no longer have any. It will appear once I click on System/Preferences/Sound, but otherwise it doesn't show up on the desktop bar. I checked under the Add to Panel feature but no luck - any ideas how to get it back?

In the last week or 2 I've noticed something odd with the audio - but as I don't use the it very much and also accept all the ongoing updates from Fedora. Anyway symptoms are (using ALSA):
1. Volume control button on the laptop - when decreasing to less than ~50% the sound goes to zero.
2. Watching flash movies (in Firefox 3.5.1, Adobe 10 plug-in) (e.g. BBC, .....): they play fine for a few seconds then go choppy (audio and video) then video recovers but sound is lost (and the laptop volume control does not work at all after that).
3. Finding similar problems on replay of audio with kplayer and vlc on music files (ogg) that previously worked fine.
I've seen the pulseaudio and vlc fix thread but I don't use pulseaudio in kplayer, for example.

I have the following problem:
After I installed the new Fedora 13, all went well without problems.
Unfortunately, the sound settings are not retained. That means after a reboot, I have to set this again and again.
I have an: HD 5.1 Intel OnBoard Sound Card. I run "gmix" or "kmix", the rear wheels boxes are always "mute". I put on this, but after the restart the setting are lost.
The PulseAudio settings are set to 5.1 Digital Sound.
What can I do to go the the settings are not lost?

I have just upgraded to Fedora 14, with some hope that a F13 kernel crash issue would be resolved. Alas, not, and I have lost audio in one of my sound cards. I am using 2 sound cards in my computer. The first one (VT 1708 on the M2V MX SE motherboard) is used for FLDIGI (ham radio program). The other one (Creative Labs SB Live!) is tied to a speaker/microphone. At some point in mid 2010, I started getting kernel crash reports (not sure which kernel version this started), and the VIA VT 1708 audio controller stopped working. The SB Live! card works fine.
From mesg, I get:
[9.181148] WARNING: at drivers/pci/pci.c:105 pci_ioremap_bar+0x2c/0x5b()
[9.181186] [<c05c36ad>] ? pci_ioremap_bar+0x2c/0x5b
[9.181194] [<c05c36ad>] pci_ioremap_bar+0x2c/0x5b
[9.181299] ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:2510: ioremap error
I've just pulled out the SB LIVE! card to see if it is causing the VT 1708 controller to fail...there appears to be no interaction.
From lspci -v, I get:
20:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 8290
Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 17
Memory at <ignored> (64-bit, non-prefetchable)
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
So it seems to know it's there. How to get my sound back (and get rid of this kernel crash every time I start my computer)?
