Hardware :: How To Make Sound Work For Rear Connector Too
Sep 11, 2010
I'm running CentOS 5.5 on a Shuttle SG41J1 PLUS barebones system. All is working well, except the sound. I get sound only on the front connector (meant for headsets). With XP on that box I get sound on both the front and the rear connectors. Under XP I see the dialog as attached to this post. It even knows where I have something plugged in. Under CentOS I have two devices listed:0: HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) 1: IDT ID 76c1 (OSS Mixer) The second one is marked active (*).Any idea on how to make the sound work for the rear connector too ?
I recently bought an HP Pavilion Elite HPE-570t. Except for the fact that I can't get the back speaker jack to work, Maverick works great. Here's info that seems relevant:
I've look at Alsa Mixer. There are two tabs (IDT ID 76c7 and ATI R6xx HDMI). I turned the second one off, since I don't have any HDMI sound output device connected to the computer. On the other tab, there are five sliders (Master, PCM, Front Mi, Line and Mic). They are all turned on, and the first two are at maximum volume.
It seems to me that Ubuntu is not recognizing whatever controls the rear speaker jack.
I can't make sound work in Pidgin. I've tries every single method (aplay %s with Command, ALSA, Automatic etc.). Anyway, I once was hearing sounds, but later they've gone again. I have ALSA set up in 'System - Prefs - Sound' and also in 'Multimedia Systems Selector', Debian Testing (sid) 2.6.32-3-686. I also cannot set the tray icon to 'Blink On New Message'. When I recieve a message - I only see a smilie there, no 'blinking'.
I'm having problem to get my sound work on my HTPC based on Asus AT5IONT-I Deluxe motherboard. I can get analogue sound out but not the digital sound on HDMI nor optical. I have tried a couple of things I've found on swedish forums, but nothing have worked so I'm ready to start over again from the beginning. I'm a real beginner when it comes to Ubuntu so step by step instructions is preferred. code...
I am having trouble loading my sound drivers after removing pulseaudio. (Yes, I did try and reinstall pulse, did it again with ALSA, no luck).
It appears that my sound drivers are not loaded, because cat /proc/asound/cards returns 'no soundcards' and aplay -l returns the same... the ouput was quite different before, I am sure I DO have soundcards and they did work before in Fedora 14.
Any Ideas how can I make the sound drivers load again ?
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 was just using the mic and watched it stop working suddenly. I was in the middle of a skype test call when the graphical mixer level died down to zero in the middle of the call. When the test call was played back, the first part sounded fine then the sound got lower until it became inaudible. Since then I can't get any sound from my mic in skype.
Also, the audio input level graphically shown in Sound Preferences shows no fluctuations in sound as it used to before. The input device is enabled. I tried using Sound Recorder to record some sound clips and that worked fine. So the mic is working but Sound Preferences and Skype seem to have the mic level really low. I'm not sure what else to think considering it was working perfectly a few minutes ago. I've tried restarting, but that didn't fix it either.
So I have a via board with an onboard Via82xx sound card. the front ports work, and the rear ports don't. There is no slider in sound properties, or in alsamixer launched from terminal, for "headphones"; only a "master output.
How do I get the rear sound i/o ports to work (or even show up... uh, somewhere)?
I would like wireless rear speakers without breaking the bank. Creative's Sound Blaster Wireless Transmitter seems to be the ticket. I would like to get pulse audio to blast the rear left and right channels through the sound blaster usb card and the other channels through the AC97 card built into my mobo (I think its ac97, anyway it works right now). I would like a real 5 channel experience using two different sound cards. If there is delay, can I adjust for it?
My usb sound card has been identified by alsamixer, however it won't make any sound when i put headphones in it. The volume is up, I know the sound card works.
I have an onboard Realtek HD soundcard which I have 2 2.1 sound systems hooked into. The rear two speakers play audio simultaneously i.e running the terminal sound test "front left" and "front right" come out of both the rear speakers at the same time. I am running Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04 with all of the latest updates. May be unrelated, but also there seems to be a very large amount of lag when playing system sounds. Takes a few seconds after the event has occurred for the associated sound to play.
I'm at the tail end of my upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze and I think this sound issue is the last one I have. As usual I've tried hunting for some answers but it gets very confusing when people are using KDE or PulseAudio or Ubuntu or slightly different configuration to what I have.
My config: Debian Squeeze 2.6.32 Alsa (just because I was using that in Lenny and it was working, no other reason) Gnome Rhythmbox Skype
Skype is pretty good - it has the sound configuration built in, so I say ring the speakers and it does. I say talk to the headset and it does. Rhythmbox is my music player (again just because I was using it under Lenny) however it only wants to play through the headset. I can't seem to get it to play to the speakers attached to the rear port.

I installed Tomcat (apt-get install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin tomcat6-common tomcat6-user tomcat6-docs tomcat6-examples) and it runs without problems.
I installed MySQL (apt-get install mysql-server) and it seems to run without problems too.
I changed the default JRE (update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun).
The weird thing is - if I put the connector-jar into my web application (WEB-INF/lib), the connection works. If I put the connector-jar into usr/share/java, it does not work. If I write the jar location into the CLASSPATH and try "java com.mysql.jdbc.Driver", I get a NoSuchMethodError:Main, which means, that the jar is found?!
Recently I have started using my netbook (Acer Aspire one D250) alot more due to travelling and I noticed that the mic didn't work. Headed to the Ubuntu forums and saw a thread about installing ALSA. So I did and now I have no sound. From what I can tell ubuntu is no longer picking up my sound devices but I'm sure. Hence why I am here. I need to get my sound working again (obviously) and then in turn get my mic working for mumble and other VOIP programs.
trying to get everything set up in Debian lenny on my new Toshiba staellite L500. I have successfully installed the wireless drivers and graphics card and have them both up and running. But I'm having trouble with the sound card. Specifically, it appears to be installed but I cant get any sound or any devices related to sound (speakers, volume control, alsamixer) to work at all.
I am using a USB headset and a logitech QuickCam Pro 4000 with Ubuntu 10.04
1. When I change the sound to internal sound the webcam works in Skype but I have not sound. 2. When I change the sound to the USB headset (sound output) the webcam does not work in Skype.
In ubuntu 10.04 my X-fi Fatal1ty Titanium sound card worked for my speakers but I had to use onboard sound for the mic. When I installed 10.10 the sound card no longer works at all so I have to run the speakers through the onboard sound.
The second problem I have is that Skype will not pick up my microphone all other programs seem to be able to record from the microphone just fine but skype does not. Ive tried selecting all the different input device options from the skype settings but none of them seem to work.
EDIT: Sound doesn't work at all in wine.
EDIT2: The X-fi card no longer shows up in the sound control panel.
I'm trying to do a standard mod_jk setup--get apache to forward requests to Tomcat. I must admit that I'm not so familiar with the details of mod_jk, but I got this working before when I had used tomcat 6 directly from apache's website, but now that I've switched to the version in Ubuntu's repositories I can't get it working.
The log for mod_jk says:
Code: [Mon Mar 15 23:59:41 2010] [5575:3004840816] [error] ajp_send_request::jk_ajp_common.c (1359): (ajp13_worker) connecting to backend failed. Tomcat is probably not started or is listening on the wrong port (errno=111) [Mon Mar 15 23:59:41 2010] [5575:3004840816] [error]
I installed ubuntu 10.10 on a desktop to use for a media server, and plus some. Everything worked! I proceeded to install the nVidia driver for the 9800gt After it was installed I rebooted per the notification after installation.So now my computer loads directly into terminal and I can't start the GUI. I tried startx but it gave that whole warning about the "nopowerconnectorcheck".
So I've done my research and I bought a 650w psu. Still no dice. I know that there is a way to turn off the power connector check but I have no Idea how.
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 (although in the System->About Ubuntu is mentioned that I have Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal, I don't know why) and I can not make the microphone from my headset to work. I used to have the Ubuntu 8.04 (I think so) and the mic used to work normally.
Everyone proposes to change the Connector in the Sound Settings but I do not have such option (you can see the attached image). What should I do?
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. I'm trying to get a Cisco Valet Connector AM10 to work. It's one of those ZeroCD USB devices that is both storage and modem. Using this link:

I filled out usb_modeswitch like this:

I can't get flash controls to work. If the video auto-plays, it starts just fine, if not, I'm out of luck. I've tried reinstalling flash through the software center. Even if it autoplays, I can't control volume or pause or anything. I'm at the mercy of whatever is already there.

I'm having trouble getting compiz to work on my Laptop. It worked for a while and then I turned on Shift Switcher and a message popped up saying..."The new value for the button binding for the action Terminate in plugin Shift Switcher conflicts with the action Zoom Window of the Scale Addons plugin. Do you wish to disable Zoom Window in the Scale Addons plugin?" I was given the option of Set Terminate anyway, Don't set Terminate, and Disable Zoom Window. I clicked Don't set Terminate and ever since the only thing that works in compiz are the bindings in the general options. I've used synaptic to completely remove and then reinstall compiz but the problem persist. Something else weird, all of the changes I made are still there, even after complete removal, but they don't work?
When I try to hibernate, the computer just goes to a blank, black screen and doesn't turn off. I have to hold the power button to get it to shut down, and when I turn it back on none of the programs running before hibernation have been saved.
I just recently (about an hour ago) installed Ubuntu Netbook edition on my old laptop, and I was greeted with the message, that unity could not be run due to some sort of missing driver...fair enough, I was then greeted with the default Ubuntu desktop, I installed all my needed software (wine, google chrome) and installed the missing display drivers. I then rebooted the system, and once again I am stuck with the default desktop, and not the Unity interface. I checked the software center, and it says Unity IS in fact installed.. And yet I cannot make it appear. So now I ask you Ubuntu veterans. How do I make it work?
P.S. I wiped the system of windows, and the computer is an old HP Pavilion DV6000
I got assigned to a project, where the installation is done over ansible. As I'm new in linux, python, django, ansible I wanted to try this out on a empty linux debian.
Code: Select alluname -a
Linux DebianABC 3.16.0-4 amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4 (2016-02-29) x86 64 Gnu/Linux
When I now run my ansible playbook it tries to install mysql and suddenly I get an error:
Code: Select all:stderr: DEPRECATION: --allow-external has been deprecated and will be removed in the future. Due to changes in the repository protocol, it no longer has any effect.

How can I find out programmatically if a cable has been removed from an ethernet connector where the interface is "up" ??? Without using ping of course. Sidebar question, if I have two interfaces on the subnet how can I force a ping out a specific interface? Say, I have 192.168.5.14 and 192.168.5.13 and I want to throw a ping out *.13 and not *.14 ..
