View 4 RepliesThe above sound card (internal actually, no 'card') works fine in Ubuntu but Slackware 12.2 won't find it. Tried alsaconfig, which seems happy, but no sound. If Ubuntu can do it, Slackware should to, no?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an older HP desktop that I recently installed ubuntu 9.10. Currently I do not get any system sounds. I can get sound from the movie player so I know something must be correct. When booting I can hear the speaker pop several times, but that is it. On my other machine with 9.10 installed I get a sound during the splash screen.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOver the last few days I've been spending some time converting my headless web server into a media center running Boxee for our lounge.
I have managed to get *nearly* everything working with the exception of sound. The computer has onboard sound, both front and back ports, and I tried every combination of outputs and plugs.
I also checked it wasn't muted, or anything like that.
So, I wasn't able to get it working with the stock Ubuntu 10.10 stuff - I turned to Google and found a thread which suggested I download and install this.
I ran the ./install as root, and it took about 3 minutes to install everything. Rebooted and now I'm left worse off than before - this time I actually have no sound card even listed.
I've been thinking some more, and after another hour or two reading through random threads, I think it may have been a mistake to install those drivers.
I couldn't find a way to uninstall them, so I've been reinstalling all the alsa and PulseAudio packages I can find with no luck.
Now I'm stuck with doubly no-sound.
If I can't get onboard working then I'm considering buying a new graphics card with HDMI out (the current one has a hard time with Boxee), or maybe a dedicated sound card instead.
I am new to Linux and ran into a problem with no sound after a fresh install of Debian 6.0.
Here is what I get from my I/Os. (yes speakers are on, plugged in and all volume controls have been toggled and tweaked in every which way.)
Code:
I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card installed in my PC. It is of far higher quality than the AC97 sound built into the VIA chipset. I want to use the M-Audio card so AC97 sound is disabled in BIOS.
When using Audacity I can record and play with the M-Audio card as I wish.
When using VLC (or any other media player), Ubuntu insists on playing through the AC97 ports - which I have disabled and which, I would have thought, was a pretty good indication that I don't want to use them.
Even when I configure VLC to use the M-Audio card (using VLC's <tools> <preferences> <audio> <output Device> ) it still plays through the motherboard via-82xx hardware.
What nonsense is this? Surely Ubuntu cannot require me to replug my speakers when I want to switch between VLC/ Brasero etc and Audacity?
I looked at the Pulse Audio apps: good grief! Is there any human being which understand what all that is supposed to be about? I could find nothing which matched my understanding of my hardware or related in any way to what I, as an end-user, want to do with my system. Is there an interpretation of this PulseAudio function available anywhere?
I've gone through the process of installing and setting up OpenSuse, which has been fairly streamlined.
The only problem I am having is with my Soundcard the audio coming out of it is highly digitally distorted unless I set it to 100% or 50% in the sound preferences section. Once this is done, the audio quality is still fairly awful, but doesn't sound like my guitar's fuzz box!
I'm assuming this is some sort of drivers issue and I have a few options in my yast audio configuration that I'm unsure what to do with.
They are as follows:
Now, these options are all able to be given a numerical value, first question, what do they stand for and what does the value do?
And second question, does anyone know what a semaphore is in relation to audio codecs? I have worked with audio for years and never some across this termanology?
I was just given a computer from a coworker and installed the latest Slackware version on it. I then installed Gnome Slackbuild and installed the Nvidia driver.I've run alsaconf and it seems to run fine without any errors and unmuted all the channels in alsamixer.

I'm currently trying to install unRaid on Slackware following this tutorial :[URL].. I'm new to Linux and after many hours, i finally managed to build the new kernel for unRAID (2.6.32.9). But audio on HDMI port doesn't work I tried alsaconf without success. HDMI sound works when i boot into the old kernel.
My codecs are :

I installed Slackware 13 in VirtualBox 3.1 (seehere)When I'm logged in as a normal user, I get a mesage that Intel *** (sound device) doesn't work anymore and I hear no sound.But it works very fine when I'm logged in as root.

I have tried alsaconf, but it did not help.

Today I installed Slackware 13 because of some issues I'd been having with slackware 9, which I'd gradually updated, but apparently not perfectly, hence the clean install of ver 13. Anyways, I have no sound. At first I thought I had no sound at all, but then I found out that audio does work for root. When I try to run alsamixer as a non-root user, I get this error:
Code: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory Now if I run it as root though, it works just fine. If I run the KDE system settings thing, what I guess is their version of the windows control panel, and I go to the multimedia section, I can see my card, but if I click test, it says that it's failed and that it's "reverting back to ." or something to that effect.(I'm in fluxbox right now). I would imagine that there's something I need to do with respect to modifying permissions, but I really don't know what that is that I'm supposed to do.
I recently got a yamaha sound card from a friend because my Intel card was not working so I disabled Intel sound card from BIOS so that I can use only Yamaha card but I hear no sound in Slackware but can hear sound in my Fedora & Windows (i.e.card is working) code...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI got two problems. Problem 1 the sound is kind of sketchy..I thought the sound card got blown. But I heard my friend got sound on it again before we put Slackware on. Next I left him to install it while I went to class. I don't think he put a swap in. The computer is painfully slow and it can't even switch users because it looks like the ram got murdered or something. My Questions are how to test / get a working sound card. I did do the alsamixer I think the command is and turn the volume levels up yet I don't hear anything.
As far as the swap partions I don't there is one but I am not sure how to look / check to where if he made it to small or not at all.
This problem applies to Konqueror, Firefox, and Seamonkey. It applies equally to all forms of online sound content, from flash to yahoo media player. Yes, the sliders are up in my sound mixer! I have sound from all other apps, just not web browsers. It also applies to alluser accounts.
View 7 Replies View Relatedsound is fine in KDE, but not in Firefox.
Alsamixer shows no capture controls for the device and I get no sound through the browser. I have set the device as default. However, I get sound fine when testing in KDE's System Settings (Phonon). Sound works just fine through Amarok and Dragon Player.
How do I get Firefox to play sound through this device?
After installing the latest Thunderbird from the list of ~current packages the "new message arrive" sound has disappeared. I've checked the configuration and it appears to be in order.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI was reluctant to start yet another sound thread, but after days of searching sites and reading mini HOWTO's I'm still mute. I have tried configuring ALSA via:
# alsaconf
# /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start
# alsamixer - all relevant sliders unmuted...
# alsactl store
...and still nothing. KDE reports that 'Audio playback device ALC889 does not work.' My kmix app doesn't even start. At boot I get this message 3 times:
"ALL CONFIG FILES NEED /etc/modprobe.d/sound - it will be ignored in a future release"
Even starting xmms brings up 'Check that - your soundcard is configured properly/the correct plugin is selected/no other program is blocking the soundcard'. btw, Windows reports I have an ALC888, not a 889. KDE lists it as present as both digital and analog, and the legacy system (whatever it is) as well as esound, but none work. I certainly had no difficulty with S11.
basically, sound will cut in and out. if i'm on videos, whenever sound cuts out, the video will continue for exactly two seconds and stop. sometimes i can reload the videos video, and it'll either play for two seconds without sound, or go normal, but usually for only a little time, not even a minute. similar problems for amarok, spotify and other applications using the sound card. this is the output when trying to restart the alsa demon

i've tried reconfiguring alsa by using the alsaconf application, which didn't help. the output from restarting the alsa demon, may indicate that the correct driver isn't loaded.
Got Slackware 12.2 and there's no sound. Ran alsaconf and it finds three 'soundcards' whereas I have only onboard sound. None of the choices achieve anything. Interestingly, Windows detects the sound as coming from 'C-Media AC97' whereas alsaconf doesn't see that, but reports two others:
ATI Technologies Inc. RV 610LE audiodevice Raedon HD 2400 PRO
VIA Technologies Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller
As well as:
(Legacy)
Up until about 12 hours ago my sound was working perfectly. Then I played a game with my daughter called Potato guy and I got a message saying that there was some conflict with the sound card.
This is the message I got:
"KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed. Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices? This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed: Output: HDA Intel, ALC889 Digital (IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output) Output: HDA Intel, NVIDIA HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)"
I selected "no", however, in the sound configuration menu, the above devices are grayed out.
Here are some outputs:

I have reconfigured alsa but it does not make any difference. It seems that KDE is interfering here, but I am not sure. My wm is XFCE4.
setting up the sound in slackware 13.1 i have tried a few things such as alsaconf but when i try alsamixer nothing comes up its showing i have no device.
View 14 Replies View Relatedwhen i plug in my headphones i was getting sound output both from the laptop speakers and the headphones, then i tried changing the sound.conf file and still no success and then i tried reinstalling the alsa - i downloaded the latest alsa-driver and alsa-lib and installed them, but when i rebooted there was no more sound from the headphones when i plug them in. I don't know what to do, i tried reinstalling alsa multiple times but still no success. Is there any way to bring back my previous configuration when i installed slackware ? Or some way to roll back using the installation dvd ?

I think it's the HDA Intel anyway. In alsaconf it comes up with, 'hda-intel Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller', and I select that one. When I do, 'aplay /home/emor/sample.wav' it says it's playing but I don't here any audio. I've tried various configurations on both the alsamixer and the graphical XFCE sound mixer, and neither have really done anything. [URL]...

I'm using slack13 and have changed entry in inittab from
Code:
id:3:initdefault:
to
Code:
id:4:initdefault:
to login straight to window system. However after that sound is gone. When I go to mixer it says that audio device cannot be used 'might be access problem'. So I've changed entry to what it was and starting X11 by 'startx' and then sound works again.
It's not that i use it for fun or entertainment... so, I had never noticed this...
yesterday I wanted to watch a ..... video, and no sound...
Sound ctrl works alright in my Kde 4.3.x, lspci is fine... i guess i may be missing a driver or something. code...
I installed Slackware 13.1 in a EEE PC 1001px. After the installation I had speaker sound but not using the headphones. Then I ran alsaconf and now I don't have any sound at all!!!
Alsamixer shows the channels: Master - Speaker - PCM - Mic Boost - Mic Boost - Capture.
What can I check to see why this is happening?
