I am been using Fedora 14 on my HP mini for a few weeks now. Everything was working fine. However, since I have updated my system a few time using yum upgrade. I can no longer get the sound working.
If I go to Menu | multimedia | pulseaudio sound control
All the volumes levels are at 100%. However, the mute button is muted and everything I press it, it remains muted.
I have an Asus 1005PE that I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on. I've set up a hot key to mute/unmute by using the command
amixer sset Master toggle
For some reason it works fine if the computer is booted while not being muted, but if the computer is booted and is muted, the command will not unmute.
sound on laptop running linux mint 9 isadora after restarting or if computer is idle. when the computer is idle for a while the sound will stop working even though it doesn't show muted. after restarting i have to run alsamixer and the master tab will be muted. i can unmute and it will work until the computer sits idle for a while.
According to HDA Analyzer, my sound card is muted; however, I can't unmute it through HDA Analyzer or anything else. According to alsamixer, everything is unmuted, though. According to the ALSA documentation, there's no 'model' id for my codec -- Conexant 5069 -- so I don't have an option to put in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf. What can I do to unmute the card???
Everytime I boot Ubuntu 9.10 system there is no start-up sound. A check of the sound settings under the system/preferences showes the sound muted checkbox is checked. I can uncheck it and listen music, etc. normally the rest of the session but on a reboot it is muted again.
i can play a dvd or play a film from my hard drive , my media player can playmp3but i just have no sound ..i have made sure nothing is muted ...suse linux 11.2 kde 4.3.5
I have two laptops, one has sound muted at start up (karmic), like in this thread , and i like it and in one the sound is not muted and i want it too be (lucid), like in this threadhow do i set to mute on startup (or shutdown to be more precise)?
I've been having some issues with my sound for a few weeks. Every time I reboot, my sound is muted. I have to open up alsamixer every time and unmute it manually. It is not the "master volume" that is muted but instead the "speaker" volume is the one that is muted. This started when i started up my computer and the ubuntu log-in sound started playing extremely loud. I quickly tried to turn down the volume while it was still booting and ever since then, i have been having this issue. Also, the volume control on my laptop no longer works, even after i adjust the volume with alsamixer. It still shows on the screen that the volume is being adjusted, but it does nothing. I hoped i explained this well enough for someone to be able to help me with this issue. Also, sorry if this issue has been posted before.
I've seen loads of threads about this sound issue, and I've experienced/fixed it before (after HOURS of searching), but this time it's worse. I'm running Maverick. I accidentally muted my sound and shut down with it muted. Upon restart, no sound is present through headphones, speakers, anything. The sound card still shows up in the options. Sound also has been disabled on my LIVE DISC OF 11.04These sound problems are the absolute worst part of Ubuntu. I'm almost ready to jump ship back to...vista *shudder*
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.
am a web designer trying to go into using Linux. I just installed Ubuntu 11.4. Now I cannot get any sound. I checked the volume at the top right and it is not muted
I've got a 2nd sound card connected via usb that I use via usb:
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 08bb:2904 Texas Instruments Japan PCM2904 Audio Codec
Every time I hibernate the PC, when i comes back up I have to go into the mixer app to unmute the thing.. I this some sort of "feature"? I hope not.. running xubuntu 11.04..
I've got no sounds from my audio card. I have established this knowledge by confirming it by using two separate sets of speakers. In addition, there is a weird muted icon in the top left corner. I've looked through the sound settings, including alsamixer, and I cannot find whats muted. Please see attached screenshot. As you can see, my output it muted, but the speaker is back (see a) in screenshot), not white like it normally is (see b) in screenshot). How to restore sound from my audio ports?
Right now I either can have wireless or sound. When I get sound I lose my wireless which may be due to some kernel issue. I use the madwifi, madwifi-kmp-default, madwifi-kmp-pae, & compat-wireless-kmp-pae for my athero ar 9285. This gets my wireless going.
I followed SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE and couldn't get sound
Then I followed Alsa-update-snapshot - openSUSE
I get sound but lose my wireless. I reinstall madwifi-kmp-pae, & compat-wireless-kmp-pae. I have to downgrade some kernel conflicts and I have wireless, but no sound. My sound information is here [URL].
My husband installed Linux on my computer about 2 months ago and ever since my computer has been stuck on the mute setting and I can't unmute it. There doesn't even seem to be a volume option anywhere on my computer. I am very bad with computers so I might just be looking in the wrong place.
I have a microphone perfectly working on windows but I'm not able to use it on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. I can't either record a sound or use skype.
I've installed Gnome-Alsa and unmuted every slider I could unmute on Alsa. But if I go on "Sound Preferences, Input, Choose a device for sound input" there's nothing I can choose. And the "input volume" is gray and so the "mute" check-box.
I thought that it was a driver problem so I went to Asus website to download Audio driver for my mother board (Asus Rampage II Gene). I got a package with Alsa drivers so I think they're already in Ubuntu.
What should I try?
I can't believe that a simple microphone doesn't work in Ubuntu 10.10 with a quite new Asus motherboard. It works in windows!
The volume on my computer randomly mutes/unmutes itself rapidly at unpredictable intervals. sometimes it works fine, other times it does not. I cannot find out what the problem is. I have never had this problem until recently, and this problem has surfaced in ubuntu 10.10, 10.04, 64 and 32 bit versions of the operating systems. I have used this hardware setup for a year before this problem ever surfaced. My hardware is installed and working fine, I just cannot figure out why this is happening. Does anyone know of some commands I can use to find out what is causing the volume to mute/unmute itself?
I recently purchased a Genius "SM-Live Value 5.1 Audio 5.1 Channel PCI Acceleration Card.". I see from the the User's Manual that it works with "Linux" and I'm pleased to confirm that it works very well with Debian Squeeze (although, after inserting the sound card in its slot, when I rebooted I got a dark sceen shortly after the Grub menu and the kernel wouldn't boot until I disabled the onboard codec in the BIOS). The Genius soundcardI is recognized as:~$ lspci | grep audio03:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10) The question is this: I get sound for either the speakers or the headphones by inserting their green phono plugs into the socket of the sound card at the back of my desktop computer but I don't get sound from the similar socket on the front. With the onboard audio device, the front socket works perfecly. At the moment, I'd like to have my two speakers permanenly plugged into the new soundcard at the back of the PC and reserve the front socket for the headphones. I'd also like to try "surround sound" some time. I've been digging around and found this ALSA Multi-channel Audio mini-HOWTO. But is all this somewhat convoluted configuration necessary just to unmute the front phono socket or am I missing a simpler solution?
I have a netbook running squeeze + lxde. Every time I boot, I have to open alsamixer and turn on my speaker channel. Master and PCM are both enabled and at 100%, as is everything relating to the mic. Speaker just refuses to work with me though.
I have the issue that the right channel is nearly to be muted (very low gain, high distortions).
This is my scenario now: cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.30-spalsh (2.6.30) (root@angel3) (gcc version 4.3.4 (Debian 4.3.4-6) ) #1 SMP Mon Dec 14 22:03:13 CET 2009
The audio of my laptop works well, but the audio is muted on system startup. So, I have to turn it on manualy. I listen much to music, so it's very fustrating.
I've got an asus a8js laptop and since installing karmic, the built in microphone is permanently on. Every once in a while I brush my finger of the mic unintentionally and it makes some mad feedback.
I've ruled out that this is caused by pulseaudio, the problem occurs when pulseaudio is off (pulseaudio --kill) and I've set .asoundrc to go straight through the hardware.
My first thought was to check alsamixer, but I muted (capture, mic, mic boost set to 0) it in there to no avail. Consequently, any time I move a slider (any one, PCM, mic, Front...) the microphone mutes for 3 to 15 seconds and then is suddenly live again.
Here's my .asoundrc
Code:
In all the soundcard works fine, it's just that the mic is always on and I can't seem to set it otherwise.
I've recently installed Xubuntu Lucid Beta2 on my new laptop. But I'm unable to turn the bell back on. The 'pcspkr'-module is removed from the blacklist and is loaded. However, 'alsamixer' doesn't show me any volume-options for the beep. However, 'echo -e "a"' still doesn't make a sound. I've installed the 'beep'-package, and it works, thus I am assuming that the hardware-bell itself does WORK fine. It's just deactivated/muted somewhere, and I can't find the option to turn it back on.
I have a Dell Vostro 1014 laptop and I just installed Ubuntu 10.04. The problem I'm facing is that the sound output goes to both the built-in speakers and headphone jack.

I've searched through /Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt. But I can only see Conexant models upto 5066.
I have a very strange problem with Phonon. I am running slackware-current with KDE-4.3.4 on an old PC with CS46xx sound chip. The Phonon backend is Xine. The system is newly installed.
Applications which use the Phonon layer are silent or muted. I am not able to hear anything. Affected is for example Amarok, Dragon Player, Minitube or the Kde Notification system (when playing sounds). What makes the situation strange is the fact, that everything looks pretty fine:
Alsa works excellent and is configured correctly. KMixer affects the alsa system settings as expected. Mplayer works, Xine works, mpg321 works. Inside Kde's system settings -> Multimedia, the Test button works and i can hear the Kde start up melody. Inside Kde's system settings -> Notifications, the play button for sound events works and plays the given sounds.
The problem appears with a newly created user account, too.
What i also tried was to compile [url]. The output looks ok to me, too. No errors and ogg and mp3 support is available.
Last but not least i tried the Python coding tutorial at [url]. The fact, that this works, unsettles me totally.
The system is squeeze amd64 and a toshiba tc655 notebook. Some relevant info: $ lspci | grep Audio 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40) $ lsmod | grep ^snd_hda_intel snd_hda_intel 20019 1 $ head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 Codec: Conexant ID 5069
My first idea was to try some different model names when loading the snd_hda_intel module, but after checking the alsa documentation unfortunately i didn't found this particular codec in it. Then after a few hours of lmgtfy.com sessions came the enlightenment. I found something interesting which actually turned out to fix this problem. Here it is: [URL].
I recently installed Opensuse 11.2 on my Acer 3680 laptop. One problem I have notice is that while I can mute my volume control using the keyboard shortcuts, I cannot unmute it using the keyboard short cut. When I press the keyboard shortcut, which is maped to XF86audiomute, it display the popup indicating that the control is unmute, the control is not really unmute. I can unmute it by using the volumen control in the system tray.
I am puzzled, this did not happen under Fedora 12 nor Linux Mint 8 / Ubuntu 9.10. What could be the cause of the issue and what can I do to locate the source of the problem?
My only glitch with Ubuntu, which runs flawlessly on this beast, otherwise.I have spent more than 50 hours on this problem. In my case, inserting headphone jack doesn't mute internal speakers. There is sound in the headphone though.alsamixer ot gnome-alsamixer doesn't even show the headphone option. So I cannot change their values.I have tried model= various options, with no avail.I have uploaded my information to alsa projct and the link is: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=18...788fc1458ff422
