I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on Toshiba NB100. Following an update about a month ago I now have no sound. A similar fault occurred after an update about 12 months ago. The patch I found on the Toshiba site doesn't work this time. I had a look at 10.04 and this time the sound was fine but no wireless so unfortunately this was no good as a solution.
I recently updated my computer Using 9.10 and I updated on the 14th. Before the update my sound was working great. No problems, but afterwards my sound is completely gone and under hardware when I click the sound option on the speaker icon I get nothing listed under hardware.
I am using the HP DV2810 US notebook PC. With this being listed as the audio device.
I will also list the updates from my synaptic history. I'm having to use Win7 . And i only wanted that for the few games that one run well in wine.
Under 10.04, I was using my sound card just fine, but after a system update,I lost all my sound profiles and my sound. I'm using my mobo's SPDIF ( I have an ASUS p7p55d).
I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu, and sound worked fine out of the box. I ran software update, and after the reboot, no sound. it knows there is a sound card, but no sound is coming out of any port. i done everything in the sound problems guide, and nothing worked. My soundcard is a Creative Sound Blaster Live! pci.
Yesterday I updated my ubuntu 8.04, after few months I haven't done it. Sound stops. I tried to remove pulse nothing happened. I installed Alsa mixer...nothing happens (when I open alsamixer, it is blank and if I select "Sound card properties" it crashes). I installed ac97_bus and souncore usinge modconf still no sound.
What can I do? My card is nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio,
I have no sound after upgrading to 11.04. Sound control panel and test speakers emits no sound. The new music player won't play sounds from music CDs either.I thought I had listened to a music CD since upgrading early last week, but not sure. I definitely don't have sound today even after rebooting.
After many troubles with an update, I did a clean install if 9. 10 64-bit and it seems to work really well. First thing I did, was install the restricted codec and Tweak. using tweak I added Chromium and VLC. Then I right-click the speaker icon and un-muted the system. I then opened the Sound preference and in the hardware menu and disabled the Internal Audio and the R700 Audio Device. The Sound Blaster Live Value card is the only one highlighted..the Setting is "Analog Surround 5.0 Output". But still no sound!! When I did a fresh install of 9.04 the sound was automatically installed and I got the start up drum sound but nothing now. Kinda frustrating considering everything else seems to work fine compared to others even feels a little better than 9.04 but the sound thing is not cool.

I just installed 9.10 Karmic Koala and everything was kosher. I installed Amarok and the libxine plugins etc and was getting sound and able to play my mp3s, I let the update manager run and voila now without any sound. Machine is a gateway desktop using Realtek High Definition Audio.
Since about a few weeks, I have a problem with the sound on my Ubuntu Jaunty 64-bit. From any application it would simply provide noise instead of the real sound. The motherboard is working fine and providing sound under Vista. Initially, I then managed to change the settings in System-> Sound from Auto to one of the options, which provided for a decent test result. Now this is not working anymore either ... so I only get noise out of my speakers.
After running an update yesterday my sound stopped working. Here is the log that I found in synaptic.

I wasn't able to find which one of these could possibly cause the problem.
I have severe sound issues with my sound card. I am on a dell E1505, by now I am assuming there is some kinda update I have to get for this to work right, like the wireless driver. It's all static and causes programs to not run right, then when you go to close the programs effected, they freeze up..
I'm running 10.04 (64bit) on an hp dv6915nr and sound has been working great for the past few weeks. When I started the machine up today, it wouldn't play any sounds and the sound preferences show no input devices. Output devices lists simply "Dummy Output".
The only thing that I believe to have changed recently is updates. I installed a set of updates a day or tow ago. I hadn't used anything requiring sound immediately after the update, so I'm not sure if the updates were the issue.
I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from 8.04. It installed Firefox 3.6.6, and now I and many others have no sound in any internet online javascript games nor in anything else that uses javascript for sound on the internet. I also have one site with a small javascript video issue (fails to fully load a gif image that is loaded by javascript).
The upgrade gave me the openjdk for java. I had no sound as described with firefox 3.6.6 and js. I uninstalled that and installed the sun-java6. This did not help. The problem is not java at all. It the fault solely of that version of Firefox. I also messed up someone else's Hardy 8.04 by allowing their computer to also upgrade to this version of Firefox. This was the only thing upgraded- the only change.
Does anyone know how to revert to Firefox 3.5 or even 3.1? I need all the steps. I have to do this in both Ubuntu 10.04 and in Ubuntu 8.04. It is unacceptable to wait for Mozilla to put out a browser update that really works. It may never happen.
I also need to know how to prevent the 3.5 from being upgraded through update manager after I get a working version back.
I found a work around for the Firefox problem in 10.04. that was to install the Google Chrome Browser which does work with javascript sound. That browser is also very fast. I cannot do this for the other computer having Ubuntu 8.04. It is not in synaptic package manager like it is in 10.04. I still want it in the computer that has 8.04 if Firefox can't be fixed.
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.
I recently did an automatic update of the Firefox web browser. Before it had sound, but now it doesn't. So I installed SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey has sound and so do all the other applications. Can't get Firefox to play sound though.
I have a problem with sound. I have 2 boards that I can select from 1 internal 1 external for Ham radio. I was on a program that I was trying to get updated Fldigi. And now I lost the sound. My bad I now know. Here is a picture of what I see when I go into the System/Preferences/Sound
I'm completely new to linux, or to debian for that matter, it's been a while since I wanted to move on from w...s, and when I finally did it, I spent 2 days just trying to make the sound work - at this time I've done every thing from pavucontrol, alsamixer, edit (and restore) /etc/pam.d/common-session...
I even messed up the os, when I reinstalled it the sound worked - brief glory, after the update it was gone again. The headphones output works, but the normal output don't (audio, browsers, video).
At least, I think it was the update that broke it. Anyway, my sound was working fine yesterday. I have gone through this thread to try and fix my sound, and it appears that my sound card has been uninstalled.

Last time my sound wasn't working, I was directed to this thread. The script from this thread might work again, but if it will just be erased after every update, I'd like something a bit more permanent.
I am running 10.10 on a 21.5 inch imac. I just ran some updates and rebooted, turned on rhythmbox to play some tunes and realized there is no sound. Tried ....., no yield. Tried a different user account still no sound. SO I rebooted into osx and I have sound. Its therefore a software issue for sure. I plugged in headphones and changed to the appropriate output in the settings manager, sound came out, but out of phase. What going on here? any ideas would be awesome.
Update manager got me to install some updates, including Linux headers. Now I have no sound. It cannot find my on board sound chipset and it's even taken away Alsamixer (no such file or directory) where I went to see if anything had become muted.I'm running 10.04 64 bit and I can't even find out how to get the grub loading screen. When I used to dual boot with Windows I could choose the previous Linux headers, now I can't even do that.
After recent upgrade which contained the newer kernel ( 2.6.35-30-generic). I've started to experience problems with sound and video in programs - deadbeef and totem. Both of them dont play any sounds and video in totem is skipping every 3-4 seconds (the same applies to flash videos in browser).
As I run deadbeef from the command line I dont get any significant information. I run ubuntu 10.10 amd 64. I tried to reinstal gstreamer my programs and codecs with no luck.
I just lost the sound to Xine after updating Hardy. It works fine otherwise and I have sound with Totem and VLC so it would seem to be a Xine-only problem.
I did a system update a few days ago and now my sound won't work. The only packages that might of affected sound that were updated (that I noticed) were a few kernel updates and pulseaudio. Is there a way to downgrade pulseaudio? Or do I have to do something else?
ok so a while ago i updated ubuntu and the sound stopped working. i cant hear anything now not even a system beep - i tried the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide by LordRaiden but to no success. i tried alsamixer and all that to check its muted, and its not.
