Fedora X86/64bit :: F13 - Low Sound Volume On Max Settings
May 28, 2010
I just did an upgrade from F12 64bit to F13 64bit and sound causes problem, It does work, but even when I set everything to max, the sound level is still way too low. I checked pulseaudio volume control, sound preferences etc, everything seems to be normal.
I just bought sony vaio laptop(EB16) couple of days before.I had window 7 OS. Two days before i downloaded Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD & installed in my PC.Everything is working fine except when i play any video or audio file such as .avi, .mp3 from any player such as vlc player, movie player ,xine etc , i don't get any sound.I tried to search this problem in internet but still i am not able to resolve this problem.
I just upgraded to Fedora 12 and I am now having some sound issues. On Fedora 11 if I set my volume below about 45% I couldn't hear anything. However 45% gave me a comfortable listening level. Now if I set my volume below about 20% I cannot hear anything, however 20% is very loud. And by loud I mean approximately equivalent to 80% under Fedora 11.
i think IM-settings is dead. i cannot get ibus or scim work.IM-Settings-Daemon[6769]: CRITICAL **: Giving up to bring the process up because Main Input Method process for ibus rapidly died many times. See .imsettings.log for more details.i have re-installed butProblem has been solved...re-install or update gtk2/glib2 and remove imsettings scim ibus im-chooser etc, everything.re-install imsettings ibus and im-chooser...thats it! i found sometimes the binary is not as good as source....
I just installed Fedora 14 and I don't have any sound at all...I mean:I don't HEAR any sound at all,but sound IS played watching pavucontrol....I tried the alsamixer and I put the sliders up from my soundcard M-Audio Delta 1010LT but no succes...I had this before when installing Fedora 13 and I tried everything I did then but no succes yet...What else can I try?
This is the output of cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [M1010LT ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Delta 1010LT M Audio Delta 1010LT at 0xd000, irq 20
I've recently changed motherboards from a gigabyte ma785gmt-ud2h to an ASUS M488T-M/USB3. For comparative purposes, I have done a fresh install of both Win 7 and Fedora 14 - everything works well except that the sound in Fedora is very scratchy and I cannot get the volume or clearness I was used to with the previous board.
Is there a driver which will fix this problem, or is this a quirk peculiar to ASUS boards? (The sound in Win 7 is crystal clear, by the way - I'm starting to think that the board was designed with Win 7 in mind.)
I don't have any sound. I have tried the alsamixer with different setups with no luck. I run alsa-info.sh (attached the file). My active profile (pactl list|grep -i 'active profile') is = output:iec958-stereo+input:analog-stereo (I did different profiles too - no luck). I have external amplifier and I use s/pdif-output. "iecset audio on" gives me: control "IEC958 Playback Default" (index -1) not found. I cannot hear anything with "aplay -D" (used different parameters and .wav-file). There is nothing wrong in my soundhardware because they have been working before with different oss. What should I do to get my sound working?
I've had this same problem in Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier and have never found a solution. I forgot how to change pulse audio and look at the MXSA because that was awhile ago and I haven't messed with Linux since. What have I done to try to fix this? I turned the sound up lol. It was on mute after install.
One thing I would like to mention that I have never asked about before is, I do not have a sound card, I used on-board audio from my motherboard. Could this be a problem?
I'm using 32bit F12 on my Sony laptop. Each time the system is booted, the sound volume is 100%. Then I log in and set the volume to a much lower level. But when a media application, such as mplayer, is started, the volume is recovered to 100%. The 64bit F12 on a PC has the same sound problem
Several days ago, I replace my PC's motherboard and now sound is too low - I can't hear practically anything, I used alsamixer to configure output volume level to normal, but this won't survive reboot. I tried to use 'alsactl' and saveed rules, and edited rc.local to restore - but it didn't help. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?
I recently upgrade my motherboard to ASUS P5G41T-M LX. The audio spec is as follows: ALC887 8-Channel AUDIO CODEC I set the PC as dual boot, win7 and Fedora 15. When I am in win7, the sound volume is normal, but when I am in F15, the sound volume is very low, compared to in win7. I already set the volume to max in audio settings when I do the comparison. How do I get the volume up?
it's been a LONG time since I've used Fedora (I think 6 was the last I used) and I decided to check things out. Installed the LiveCD KDE respin x86_64 version. Once the installation was done, I installed the yum fastest mirror plugin, then did a yum update. I then yum installed firefox, and used the autoten script to install Flash-plugin, Mp3-codecs, Dvd-codecs, and All-codecs. I then installed amarok and tried playing a song.There was no sound, and the slider moved at least twice as fast as it should have. I then attempted to play a video file with VLC. The video played fine, but there was still no sound. Firefox seems to be the only program that plays sound properly, as both ..... and pandora play fine. Konqueror however does not play sound on ......This seems to me like a 64-bit related issue since I think firefox has all the 32 bit libraries for flash to work, but like I said, I've been out of this scene for a while now.
i am having a sound issue in fedora 14 64 bit. it is interesting because i have no sound when i use desktop applications such as vlc. however when i use videos or other flash sites the sounds works. although for some reason when i listen to music on grooveshark there is an annoying background noise. i wonder if the extra noise is a flash issue. but as far as the desktop application sound not working i am baffled. also kde noises work fine. when i go in to the speaker configuration and to the test it works perfectly.
I've managed to get some sound through the system with kernel 2.6.40.1. I use multiple sound cards, I have problems with keeping the same order. I added in etc/modprobe.conf The list of sound devices, putting my D66 card as device 3, Rebooted and cat /proc/asound/cards showed all fore devices in the correct order. I got audio through one of the apps , and started to try and get another ,wsjt, to function.
I hava a ASUS P5GC-MX/1333 and I want to install the driver from my Realtek audio, because, in windows 7 the volume is very loud, but in fedora even in the maximum is very low.
There was an advanced sound option in Fedora 11. I need those advanced sound options, because I can raise the volume on it. That which is greater than what I can go on 12. If I try to raise the volume in the sound preferences on 12. I get a static kind of sound. And it seems to have a lock at 100% when I try to raise the volume with my keyboard. Instead of whatever I can get when I raise it in preferences which is like 150% (I don't know the acutal perfentage)
Im having trouble with playing sound in F14. I used to have F12 where everything worked perfect, recently I've changed to F14 (complete reinstall) and I noticed that my speakers don't work and the sound through the headphones is to quiet.It is as if F14 doesn't recognize my sound card?
I've got a couple of odd issues in my 64bit install of Fedora 12. Firstly, I get some sound corruption when playing mp3s, video, in fact any audio. The first time a video or mp3 runs it seems fine, but for a certain time after-woods all i hear is weird static popping noises (hard to describe) with none of the original audio present. The problem seems intermittent, and can also happen when say i fast forward music of videos. I had this same issue under Ubuntu, and happens in both Gnome and KDE.I just experimented with fast forwarding an MP3. If I click some place along the progress bar it works fine. If i drag the bar it then corrupts the sound.
I also have an issue with multiple applications accessing the audio device at the same time. This is an issue I did not have under Ubuntu. The first app will work fine and play the video or music. However any other apps i start up will not do anything. As an example, if I have ..... loaded in FIrefox and have played a video, and then I load a video in the movie player on my desktop, it will not play the video until i quit firefox. I have tried all sorts of options with pulseaudio, including switching the virtual device on for multiple playback, but to no avail.I have not tried the 32bit version to see if this is an issue with 64bit and my PC.
I have motherboard Gigabyte GA-M61PME-S2P with nvidia hda sound card and I have no sound output using line in input. I've already tried to compile actual realtek linux driver but it didn't help. It looks ok because using gnome-volume-control I can see that there is music - volume bar is moving - and I can record it but I can't hear that on speaker live. I have also only 2 channel output hardware configuration. Alsa mixer have all channels but changing volume adjust didn't help. some information:
I can't have pulseaudio on this machine. Second, Flash played with sound in F13 32bit w/o PA. I have gstreamer plugins and ffmpeg installed but still no sound. Is there any diagnostic output I can refer to to find what libraries are missing if any? Using Firefox. HW is Creative Audigy2 on Gigabyte AMD890 mobo, Phenom II 4 core Sound works everywhere except Flash.
I am trying to record using a microphone on a machine running Fedora 14. The microphone itself seems to work fine when plugged into a Windows laptop, and the Linux machine is able to play sound just fine. However, although I can record using the microphone (using arecord or audacity, for example), the recorded audio is super, super quiet. I have run alsamixer, and experimented with every capture source. Anything which had any effect (using arecord -vv to see the dynamic sound level) has been turned up to 100%. Still, recorded audio is barely audible.
I have run: yum reinstall alsa-utils alsa-plugins-pulseaudio alsa-tools-firmware alsa-firmware alsa-lib But that made no difference. I ran alsa-info, and the output is here: [URL]. Why my recorded sound is barely audible? My next step is probably going to be to boot to Ubuntu, just to see if it has the same problem.
I just got the upgrade for the Linux Kernel version 2.6.40-4 on my Fedora 15 x86-64 box today, and the installation completed with no problems. However when I rebooted after doing the upgrade, I noticed that I had no sound. I use an ATI Radeon HD 4350 video card, and the opensource ATI driver, and use the HDMI audio from it for sound, since my monitor has a sound output jack on it. I've booted into the previous kernel (2.6.38.8-35), and sound works fine. I've tried with the new kernel in both KDE (my default desktop environment) and XFCE to get sound, and it does not work in either one. I've tried installing the VLC Phonon Backend instead of the GStreamer Backend, reinstalling Pulseaudio, reinstalling Alsa, modprobing the necessary modules needed for the card, checking all configurations with the available Pulseaudio tools (paprefs, pavumeter, pavucontrol), checked the volumes using alsamixer, and reinstalling the ALSA Pulseaudio plugin. After trying all of these, I can still get no sound out of any application, and I also noticed that Flash video plays at 2-3 times it's normal speed after the upgrade. Again, these problems do not occur on my previous kernel. Did I maybe overlook something, or can anyone else think of something I could try?
the situation was that i had 2 fedora 12 boxen. one played flash videos with sound, and one did not! eventually i found the actual problem, and it was trivially fixed (i don't want to remember the many blind alleys i went into first...).
when i looked at system ==> sound preferences ==> sound and selected the 'applications' tab, i got the line: "no application is currently running or recording audio.", but the mute check box to the right of the 'output volume' slider at the top of the tab was unticked.
however, when i was running a flash video, i had a line: "alsa plug-in (npviewer.bin) ..." with another mute check box on the right that was ticked! unticking this new mute check box, enabled firefox to play videos video's with sound!
I am trying to play sounds via : sound applet on gnome taskbar, right click: sound prefs, sound vol is set via applet at say 45%, yet I can't hear the alert sounds I am pressing such as, glass & sonar, is this common with pulse atm or a combo of that and my onboard realtek ac-97 sound chip?
Not sure if others have noticed this. When I go into sound settings, click the output tab, select the sound device I want to edit and change the bass levels etc, close the window and go back in all the settings are reset to default and no changes are saved.
If I leave the window open and make the changes they are reflected in VLC for example, but if I close the window it again resets to defaults and my Bass is back at Maximum....
Is this a BUG I should report or is there something I can download to get this configured elsewhere or to fix this issue? I seem to recall something similar in Fedora 14 that was fixed, but I cant remember how I did it now
The only user that can make the sound card work on a F10 x86_64 system is root. For non root users, I am not seeing any error messages when a app tries to use/access the sound card, just nothing plays. As I said, for root everything works as expected. I am sure this is a permission/setup issue, but I have no idea where to start.
I have a raid 5 array formatted with ntfs; My Ubuntu OS is not able to recognize the raid 5 array but my windows 7 OS can. I had this working before when I installed ubuntu via wubi but now since i installed it as a dual boot OS I am having issues trying to mount this raid 5 volume. So far i have tried reinstalling the dmraid, ntfs config manager, and storage device manager however nothing seems to help me recognize my raid 5 array.

I have no sound, is it possible to restore the default sound drivers/settings in 10.04?It was work well before except for one issue, I couldn't get mic in for Rosetta Stone using wine. I have followed so many howto's to try and get Rosetta Stone working and then my sound working again.I think this is my main problem I upgraded alsa to "alsa-driver-1.0.23". I could easily be wrong about that assumption though.I have a Dell XPS M1210Ubuntu 10.04 64bitI think this is my sound card, "lspci -v | less"00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)Subsystem: Dell Device 01d7Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at efffc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel modules: snd-hda-intelBut I don't think it is being recognized,
