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.
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???
Here's the hardware: cat /proc/asound/cards:
0 [Intel]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xd6400000 irq 34
I change the audio channels to 6 in alsamixer by choosing my sound card and change the channels to '6ch'. But this setting is not preserved. I see that after a reboot the channels are again going back to 2ch. I have to manually change everytime to 6ch after each reboot. Is there a way to save the setting in alsamixer so that I will get 6ch everytime after reboot? I am not sure I have explained my problem in a way so that you can understand.

I've got a Toshiba L650, Debian testing/unstable, KDE4.4.5. The sound worked when I first installed everything (played a movie in dragon player, etc), but shortly thereafter it stopped working. It seems like the hardware is okay (all hardware is recognized, all relevant modules loaded, volume in alsamixer at 100%, the system beep -- set in the BIOS -- works), but I still can't get sound to play. Once or twice, right before KDE shutdown, I could hear the exit sound, but that's it. Last night I exited KDE (without hearing a sound), shutdown kdm, then:
mv $HOME $HOME.backup
mkdir $HOME
and restarted kdm and kde...still no sound! I created another user, and still no sound!
At Ubuntu 10.04, I amplified sound maximally using alsamixer and volume icon on the menu bar but I want to amplify further.
VLC can amplify sound upto 400% but only inside VLC.
Are there any such program to amplify sound in general at Ubuntu 10.04?
I have small sound issue - no sound on front panel and headphones are greyed out in alsamixer. This issue appeared after i installed new video card (New video card also adds a pseudo audio device "HDA Nvidia" (without any controls in alsamixer).
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy microphone wasn't working so I entered alsamixer to amp up it's volume and see what's wrong.Not sure what I did wrong but now the gnome volume control applet in the Indicator does not affect system volume at all.I can even mute it and it will not mute anything.The volume controls in alsamixer work fine and changing the volume in alsamixer affect system volume immediately.What could I have done? How can I get back volume control inside gnome?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running fedora 12 on my Asus Z92VA laptop. Everything is running fine, except for the fact that I have no audio on my headphone. When I use the command "alsamixer -c0", there is no listing for the headphone.
When I use the command "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" I get the following output:
Codec: Realtek ALC880

I used ubuntu and recently I install mandriva in to my laptop. I am using a headphone and when I listening to music I reduce speaker sounds and increase headphone and master sounds using "alsamiser -c 0" command in terminal.But at the end of each song, speaker sounds automatically increased.so I have to increase the headphone and master sound and reduce speaker sounds at beginning of every song.
When I restart the machine master,speaker and headphone sounds usualy become silence. Is there any why to save the alsamixer settings or any other way to correct this error.
sound works just fine, as far as I know it's configured properly, I just don't have all the devices I should have in alsamixer.

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 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.
I run windows XP sp3 and Ubuntu 10.10 on an ASUS EeePC 1000HE (I know its a pretty old model). I have been facing this problem ever since installing Ubuntu side by side with Win (*not WUBI*). Every time I switch to Ubuntu after a reboot from windows, I get no sound from Ubuntu, the sound driver appears to be working fine, but there is just no audio output. This problem does not occur if I do a clean boot to Ubuntu after shutting down Windows.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to configure a friend's HP laptop with OS11.2 After reading several forums and so on I figured out that sound must be configured with the option module=hp-dv5 or module=hp-m4. The laptop is a pavilion dv5, and the sound driver is hda-intel.
So far so good, all done via yast2, it restarts the sound server, can play a test sound, everything works. But then, if I restart the computer, I do not have any sound at all. Under yast the added parameters are still there, but it does not work. trying to run rcalsasound restart does not solve the problem either.
I've recently upgraded to 10.04, and never had any problems in 9.10, but now, sometimes when Banshee attempts to play a sound file, it will kill my sound output until I reboot. Haven't been able to get anywhere by fiddling with ALSAmixer or the like, and everything is just fine on reboot, but the files don't always cause problems, and they were all fine back in 9.10. Has anyone else encountered this? I've been unable to find any other references to this problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe sound stopped working, supposedly after upgrade and reboot (although the last upgrade was Gimp updates, as far as I remember). I rebooted the computer, then tried to play a sound and nothing came out of the speakers. The sound card (CA0106 Soundblaster) is detected, I can still adjust sound level and all the settings, but no sound is produced.
I tried running ALSA in terminal (as suggested by some comments in threads that I googled) and un-muting the speakers, but they were already un-muted.
I've also updated the Kernel to 2.6.39 just to see if this is a Kernel bug and if this might help, but it didn't. Also not a hardware problem (works in Windows).
I have experienced 4 or 5 times a sound-muting bug. Suddenly speakers stop working (usually not in in the middle of something musical but when there is no sound playing) and does not work again until I reboot the system.
