After installing an external sound card, Im having some weird issues. The cards chipset is fully supported by suse, (CM8738) so I dont think thats the problem. Besides, I'm getting sound, but not in some applications. The system's sounds work just fine (login, logout themes) amarok plays without any problems, kaffeine, mplayer they all work flawlessly, in fact I can see the difference in quality between the onboard sound and my new card. However, no web browser is able to play any sound at all, firefox, opera or chrome, nothing,zip. Plus, vlc cant reproduce sound either, nor can smplayer.
I've tried switching channels on and off(muting)in kmixer and in alsamixer, on the console, with no results. I disabled the onboard audio on the bios before installing the new card, however my ati video card has integrated sound, which I cant disable.... I used to get this exact same problem randomly with the onboard sound, but I just had to go to kmixer and turn up the "pcm" channel volume, which was set to 0, and I had sound again on my browser. However this card's pcm channel is at max and turning it up or down affects the whole systems volume, not just the browser's. Is it better to just reinstall the sound system, if so how could I do that.
Fedora having just installed F10 with the gnome desktop.
I am unable to get any sound, I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard. This worked "out of the box" on my previous linux system - PCLOS Gnome but in Fedora I have no sound at all.
what I need to do or should this have worked with the default install?
I installed fedora 14 lxde saturday, loaded about 1/2 the items from the unofficial fedora faq, and see videos on ....., but there is no sound. However, the sound works fine on sabayon lxde.# alsamixer -c 0 -- shows the sound settings are turned up. What can I do to get the sound working?
This motherboard has an on board sound circuit, which I disabled in the BIOS, because I want to use the PCI soundcard by M-Audio called the Audiophile2496. But I can't get any sound, no matter what I do. I've tried everything, including removing pulseaudio, but nothing happens. envy24control mixer is installed.
cat /proc/asound/cards shows that the sound circuit is card 0 and the Audiophile is card 1. 0 [ HDMI ] : HDA - Intel - HDA ATE HDMI HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfe8fc000 irq 46
[code]....
I tried to get Fedora to change default cards from card 0 to card 1 with the command:
alsamixer -c 1
I even got the alsamixer on screen, with the Audiophile set as its card, and adjusted the PCM levels up to 45. It didn't matter. Still no sound. This is NOT a computer problem because, on this same machine, in a different hard drive partition I have a different Linux distribution installed and it runs the Audiophile 2496 just fine.
On an older computer I run Fedora 10 and it has no trouble at all with its Audiophile 2496 sound card. What's up with Fedora 14 ? how I can get the sound going on Fedora 14 ?
I'm running Fedora 15 XFCE spin, Audacity 1.3.13-beta and my sound is ALSA/Pulseaudio (I'm not totally sure what these are anyway, are they drivers?) Anyway, when I'm in Audacity and I go to the record options I can choose from default, pulse, and HDA ATI SB:ALC268 Analog (hw:0,0). If I try any of these three options and press record I get static. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like to press record for each of the three options in order.

The last option won't even record nothing, it just doesn't work. Also, if you look where the little picture of the microphone is, the option to drag the input volume is greyed out.
There is no sound card listed in "lspci" and also I receive this error when I use dmesg command: [15.012010] AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET [15.012017] AC'97 0 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer. [15.012024] Unable to initialize codec #0
sound card is working well inside SuSE and everything is ok there. But when I install Windows 7 or XP inside Xen Virtualization software, I can't use sound card and Windows is unable to find any sound hardware.
I'm setting up a new PC and hope to use the Planet CCRMA packages for some simple home recording projects. The PC has a 64-bit processor, so I've installed the x86_64 version of Fedora 10. I've done the basic steps of adding the Planet CCRMA repositories and installed their real time kernel, so I'm think I'm ready to try and get started. First, I need to get my sound cards set up right. I have an M-Audio Delta 1010LT card, which I'd like to use for working with music and the Intel HDA card built in to the motherboard, which I'd be happy to use for things like system notifications and other incidental sounds. Here is what the system tells me about the cards:
[code].....
The only ones that produce any sounds when I test them are the HDA Analog device and the Delta 1010 device, but the weird thing is that output seems to be coming out of the built-in output jack (on the motherboard) in either case. Does the OS route output from the Delta 1010 through the built-in card to its output jack? Also, I've connected only the first two RCA analog outputs from the Delta 1010 to my desktop speaker system - should I use a different pair of outputs for testing? Playing a CD directly from the CD drive works, but playing music files from Amarok does not. I'll leave it at that for now. I posted the information above to the Planet CCRMA mailing list threee days ago, but I haven't gotten any responses.
I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with my sound in OpenSuSE. I put in a brand new Audigy chipset soundcard and finally got some sound to come out of the speakers. I used the guide here: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE. to fix the permissions on my sound and am able to get sound-test to play sounds as well as connect to the sound device in my vmware and play sounds. That being said, I have terrible sound quality coming out. There is a lot of static sound like white noise and the volume of the actual sound played is very low compared to the noise. The sounds also distort somewhat.
I have tried the pulse audio change in the tutorial above also and have been searching around google. The only problem that I saw similar was a person who fixed the problem by updating KDE. I don't have KDE, I'm using Afterstep.
Installed Fedora 11 successfully, but I cannot get the MP3 files to produce sound.
Have tried the default configuration for sound, the Pulseaudio and the PulseAudioSoundServer.Installed and use KDE interface. Sound works for SKYPE (after selecting HDAIntel) and the Firefox 3.5 Beta 4.
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.
I'm using a HP 7100 laptop and have tried installing the latest versions of Suse, Mandriva, as well as Slakware and have repeatedly been faced with two problems: .1. No Sound: Research via the web suggests that the lack of sound MAY BE due to the particular HP laptop model but there is a doubt here. Sound does work with the Winow$ 7 software but it does not work with any of the above noted Linux softwares. Are any of you familiar with this? .2. KPPP: Are any of you using KPPP with the latest version of Fedora, using KDE4? If so, how did you get it to work?
My PC has the ASUS P7H55-M SI motherboard with the audio chipset VIA VT1708S. Under Fedora 13 (64-bit) I have no sound although the audio chipset seems to be properly recognised and supported by the OS.
I used the alsmixer application and I set the volume for all channels, including PCM to their maximum value but still I get no sound. When the OS boots I hear a "click" sound coming from the audio chipset when it is initialised by the kernel but then the sound stops and I hear nothing.
Note that I do not have this problem with Ubuntu 10.04 but I have the same issue with openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7. My guess is that F13 and openSUSE 11.3 having newer kernel/alsa software versions exhibit this problem due to some bug introduced to the code.
Here is some extra information:

Before Fedora 14 i have Fedora 12 and all was ok with sound. Starting with root account surprize i have sound. But after playing a song in xmms, sound is dead. I have tested sound in Windows and is ok.
I have loaded Debian 5.0.3 onto my desktop and have no sound at all. I've completely removed and re-installed ALSA, OSS, everything to no avail. Computer is a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P MB with AMD Phenom @ 3.4 Ghz and 4 Gb memory. Machine is dual boot with Win XP and sound works fine for Windows. I've tried the on board sound (Realtek 888) and an old PCI board. Both work ok on Windows but nothing at all on Debian.
my sound did work and i ripped on CD in Banshee and now it does not have any sound. tried looking for a related forum question and on page 2 there is a post "11.3 Gnome, totem, banshee no sound" that followed with no success. how do i get my sound on? tried all the normal checks to make sure it was not on mute.
Unable to get any sound out of the system from anywhere, not from movies or inputs on either Yahoo or firefox, and not from music cd's inserted into the cd players?? Had good sound a few days ago?? Looked at all things concerning sound within the system and unable to find anything that looks like it may be causing a problem. Upgraded Rhythmbox, also Firefox, no help.
I have a 3 monitor setup with a 9800GT and a 6800GT. The 9800GT is linked to my main monitor (20" viewsonic 1680x1050) and a 40" Toshiba 1080p LCD TV. The 6800GT powers a secondary 1280x1024 dell LCD. I have the SPDIF connector plugged into the 9800GT and in sound preferences Hardware tab I have Digital Stereo (IEC95 output selected, but I get no sound on the TV. PS All three are on separate x-screens.
Ive recently switched to Ubuntu from Windows XP and me and a friend had finally got things going for me, with everything running pretty darn well. A couple days ago we decided to install VirtualBox with Windows 7 and for a day everything worked well enough but yesterday I discovered that I had no sound whatsoever on Ubuntu but oddly Win 7 on VB had audio running without any discrepancies.
When ever I install windows I have to manually install this [URL]Well. I downloaded wine and tried it and it said Unknown error. So, how would I go about getting my sound driver then? I really need sound I do not have anything under Hardware, Output or Input in the Sound preferences. I've already tried OSS, I think I installed ALSA but I do not know how to work it. I've downloaded a tar.bz2 pack for alsa, where is a deb. I hate configuring stuff, I want something I can click and install.
Code:
Audio Sound Card SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC Playback Devices Digital Output Device (S/PDIF) (SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC)
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I am unable to get any sound output. My sound card is installed, cables are connected, and volume is up but I get no sound output. Here is what I see
Prior to the release of the update 11.04 I had sound working perfectly. When the update came out, I lost all sound. I have run through all the forums and threads and websites I can find trying to find a fix, no luck. I have no start up sound, no sound from any program. I installed PulseAudio and it shows that there should be sound, but neither speakers nor headphones have sound coming from them.
I am using mpd and ncmpcpp as a music player. Until today it worked perfectly fine but now when I play a song it begins playing but with no sound (yet sound works in every other program). I am using a creative x-fi xtreme gamer sound card.
Here are my configs:
~/.mpdconf:
Code:
# An example configuration file for MPD # See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter. # Files and directories #######################################################
I get no sound. Not even the little signature tune you're suppose to get when you start up ubuntu. When I go
Code:
aplay -l
I get:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 82801DB-ICH4] Subdevices: 1/1
[code]....
Then I tried the alsamixer just too make sure that the speakers was not muted.
Code:
alsamixer
The last thing I tried was adding my user name to the /etc/group. Before it was
Code:
audio:x:29:pulse
but now it says
Code:
audio:x:29:myusername
is where some bullet proof way to test the sound card? Now I'm running some random mp3 which might have some fault in itself. what must I do to get the sound to work?
I just installed a fresh install of Debian on my machine, and I have this very weird problem. If I run a song in rhythmbox, it just crashes, after 10 to 50 seconds. The only solution is to run:
alsa force-reload
And this will get it working for another 10 to 50 seconds. I only have installed Google chrome ontop of my base install. So why is Debian not giving me sound? This should be a known problem, and hopefully with a known solution, because it seems the problem is everywhere on the net, but the solution is not...
I wanted to add 1 thing. And that is that I have 2 sound devices installed, both supporting alsa. 1 onboard, 1 pci card. The strange thing is that only from the pci card, I can hear sound out of the speakers (after replugging the jack in the back off course ). But if, after an alsa force-reload, only the onboard sound card is detected, it does play the whole song, but does not output any sound.
PS, I have a this sound card: [URL]
PS2: The PC is a AMD Athlon 3000+ with a rather old sound card...
so I have vlc 1.0.4 and when I try to play .flv files they won't load and when I try to play .mp4 files they play but after 1 or 2 vidoes there is no sound at all. I can get sound form other applications such as amsn and ice weasel when it happens
