My workstation has a built-in speaker that, surprisingly, plays audio very well. I also have external speakers hooked up to the audio out jack which are easier to hear. Unfortunately, when I try to play some audio material, sound comes out of both the external speakers and the built-in speaker on the workstation.
I'd like to disable the speaker inside the machine, and just plug in head-phones to the external speaker so I can listen to training material at work without bothering my office mate. I'm not sure how to do this in Linux (Suse Enterprise Desktop 11). Fiddling around with the Gnome audio tools doesn't list two different audio devices on the machine.
From what I can tell, sound is played through the ALSA system. I looked in my home directory and there is no .asoundrc controlling configuration.
I should also add that I check in the BIOS for a way to disable the built-in speaker, but I could not find such a setting.
Through the command prompt, mainly wav files, wanted to see if there is any way to get this done?That would be the pc speaker on the board, I can get it to beep at frequencies.
So sound from the speakers on my laptop (hp mini 311) quit working randomly. I either installed an update or just rebooted and it quit working. The sound from the headphone port still works but that is annoying.
Here is some information about my hardware.

I installed Xubuntu to a flashdrive using unetbootin. Since I only have a 2GB drive I installed Fluxbox instead of XFCE to save space. I install alsa-utils to try to get some audio going. aplay and speaker-test gets nothing at all. Both as sudo and a reg user. I have turn up the volume on everything in alsamixer. I believe the relevant drivers are loaded.
I have a Acer emachine E732z laptop. I have installed debian squeeze gnome, but it is unable to play audio through laptop speaker. The (3.5mm)audio jack is working fine and I can play audio through it. I have also installed Linux mint, but no audio(in speaker and audio jack). There is no such problem in Windows7.
Let assume that we have the following situation: we have a sound in the speaker systems or in earphones, maybe we play an audio CD, some mp3's or maybe a movie, etc.
All I know is that the sound goes through sound card to speaker system or in earphones, no matter the source.
How can I obtain the audio stream that I hear in speaker system or in earphones?
I would like to write an application that record and analyze the audio stream that I hear in my speaker system or in earphones. My OS is Ubuntu 10.04.
If you have a recommendation like "try to use ALSA", please provide more details like "in alsa-utils you have a class Class_Name, with the following function Funcation1, etc. Try to use the Function5 as in the following example".
There is no audio output to the speakers when listening to, or while recording from Line-in. Enabling software sound playthrough in Audacity did not help. Audacity simply froze. But I can make fine recordings from Line-in and play the recorded files. Also no sound from cd-audio. KsCD begins playback, but no sound. Only VLC works with cd-audio. Maybe some slider settings that I missed? This is what I did so far: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20
i'm using ubuntu 10.04 64bit and i have a netbook(model is hp mini 110-3004TU) with an integrated HD audio from IDT.the problem is that no sound is coming out from the speaker
My friend has following configuration Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz 256 MB DDR RAM Western Digital WD1600AVJS-63WNA0 hard disk PM8M-VHMS7104 VER 3.0 motherboard The motherboard has Realtek sound card built in but there is no sound output. He is using Ubuntu 9.10.
New eeePC 1015PEM netbook, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD. Came with Win 7 Starter; I retained this and installed openSUSE 11.3 alongside. Everything works well in Win 7 Most things also work well in oS 11.3, but there is a knotty problem with audio from the built-in speakers. Headphones are OK, but the speakers don't work reliably. Others have reported this on similar machines, and a number of "fixes" have been proposed in a wide range of forums, but so far I haven't found any that work.
I've actually installed oS 11.3 twice. After the first install I had no speaker sound at all, but after a day or two fiddling around it started to work of its own accord for no reason I could point to. For unrelated reasons (a silly mistake by me in Win 7) I then had to re-install oS 11.3 from scratch. This time the speaker sound worked after install, but then it dropped out again a couple of days later. Headphone audio has remained OK throughout.
I'm aware of and have applied the acpi_osi=Linux kernel parameter to enable the Fn keys on the machine (including sound volume and mute/unmute), so it's not that. I've combed the forums and Google extensively for other suggestions, and have tried them - including installing alsamixergui. I've also installed a properly matched ALSA KMP which changed some of the alsamixer controls but didn't cure the problem. Since it all works very well in Win7 and works sometimes in oS 11.3, I conclude that the problem is not with hardware but is something in software.
We have a target board with intel atom processor(COM). OS : Ubuntu 9.04 But I am not able to hear the Internal speaker sound. ->pcspkr driver is present. ->Different tests were conducted inclding echo -e "a" , console-beep package ,writing to the port etc. ->Sound is not heard during system startup also.
This may seem like a stupid question (if not completely ridiculous ), but I was wondering if there's a way to configure audio events so that I can use a wav/ogg sound instead of the PC speaker's default beep for small events like hitting backspace in a text editor when it's the beginning of the document (or any other illegal keyboard action), or in Wine applications when it calls for an "asterisk" sound (it just beeps the PC speaker).
I've looked at similar threads, but they mainly just talk about either the beeps that the machine does when it boots up, or simply turning off the beeping completely. What I want to do is substitute the beeps (that are caused by the OS) for an actual sound that's played through the ALSA/OSS/whatever audio device.
I just install Kubuntu 9.10 everything is work find but my logeitech usb speaker. It says its on defualt and it not muted. I can also see the volume go up and down when I press the buttons on my speakers.this is what I get when I
aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1
Suddenly I get a consistent very. very loud tone at boot of my PC LInuxOS on a Lenovo 300 N200 laptop. Didn't use to get that. Also it starts smelling burnt but nothing is hot.
I Just want to like if my system has internal speaker present or not , i'm using rhel4,i don't get any beep sound at the time of my booting,here's my some observation i made in my system
There is no audio output coming from the inbuilt speakers. when headphone is connected, audio is available with headphone. But not with the internal speaker when headphone is not connected.
I have bought a laptop 2 months ago with pre installed windows7 and installed Ubuntu 10.04 64bit but still didnt get sound from the speakers. With headphones everything is OK . I have unmuted everything and searched forums but nothing so far. In windows I get speaker sound so it is not hardware problem. In alsamixer it appears I have 2 soundcards, one HDA -intel (chip Realtek ALC272) and a second one HDA nvidia ( a virtual one propably from my nvidia VGA ) that lacks controls . With lspci -v , it appears both use the same driver :Kernel driver in use: HDA IKernel modules: snd-hda-intel . Tried to disable the first one from bios but it didnt help I also tried sound adjustment in preferences -> sound and gnome-alsamixer, nothing.From gnome alsamixer, when I mute speakers, the headphones also get mute so may be the system doesnt recognize speakers and headphones separately? May be it has to do with config files but my linux knowledge is low.
When I plug in a removable device, KDE automounts it, but I prefer to do this manually (also perhaps not liking the idea that any user could plug a device in and have it mounted). I've searched around and looked at KDE -> System Settings -> Removable Devices, and "Enable automatic mounting of removable devices" is already unchecked
I have a netbook running opensuse 11.2 I'm trying to make it run faster by disabling services, and I would like to kill off postfix as I don't ever use it (As far as i actually know) What harm could come from disabling postfix, if any?
I'm currently using Debian 5.04 Lenny, and I trying to figure out how I stop things running at boot time, in the simplest way, if possible.
In Redhat/SuSE all I had to do was 'chkconfig xxx off' and it was done, is there an equivalent in Debian? A tool or something.
To find a list of items in Redhat/SuSE all I had to do was 'chkconfig --list' and it displayed a list, is there also an equivalent for this? A tool or something.
I want my keyboard to be disabled for sometime say 5min or more. My keyboard gets loaded more than fingers it bears sometimes loads of books.So want to disable for a specific time
I considered puppy Linux, but it's not my taste. I don't like the Looks of the GUI. That's very important to me. If you need the computer make and model, here it is. It is a Gateway 2000 4DX2-66.
I have been using windows operating system for a long time now, but I am not well familiar with linux. Whenever I used to install Windows, I used to install the corresponding audio drivers(in order to listen to the music). The problem I am facing is that I do not know how to install the audio drivers(if they really exist in linux Mint 10 operating system). As a result I am not able to listen to any audio file due to lack of corresponding audio driver programs. make proper configurations settings so that I can listen to audio files in Linux Mint version 10.
Say I have 2 speakers connected to 2 different sound cards. Under Windows, is it possible to have some sort of virtual device that would forward an audio stream to both sound cards? If this can't be easily done under Windows, a solution for Linux is also fine. lternatively, if the 2 speakers are connected to different channels of a sound card, is there any vendor-independent way to duplicate audio to both channels?
