Ubuntu :: 10.04 Sound Is Low If Start The Computer With Headphones
May 5, 2010
So my sound volume is very low if i start my computer up when i have headphones plugged in even when all volume controls are up to 100% but when i start it without headphones plugged in it is loud and normal. Using Toshiba Laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
when my headphones are plugged into my computer, the sound comes from both the speakers AND the headphones. I just want the sound from the headphones if they are plugged in.
I have installed Fedora 13 on my laptop, but there is something wrong with the sound。It just comes from both the computer and the headphone. I have installed alsa, you can see as follows:
I'm having an issue with my computer and the headphones. When I plug in the headphones into the headphone jack, the sound plays through the headphones but it also plays through the speakers as well at the same time. I've attempted to play around with the sound settings to see if I can get this issue resolved but I have not been able too. Computer specifications are in my signature.
I have sound on my main speakers and I can control volume from the desktop's icon tray volume control on the screen.However, my headphones were working just fine until all of a sudden they just stopped working. I tried other headphones but no change.Also, my volume control on my keyboard suddenly stopped working too.Any ideas how I can get the headphones and keyboard volume control working again?
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 done a bit of a search for this and would normally do more but as I am on holiday and have just upgraded my mother in law's machine to 10.04 and only here tomorrow then back home (750Kms away) I am hoping the community can speed things up a little.
Open Pulse Volume Control and headset mic working because input meter shows it, plays audio cause output meter shows it, but the analogue headset headphones give me no sound.
All seems to be working fine but just not getting through to headphones. This is with all apps (Skype, Totem).
I'm running 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04 on an Acer Aspire 3050 laptop with a Realtek HD sound card. When I plug headphones in, the sound comes out of the headphones AND the built-in speakers, instead of the speakers muting as they should.
This happens on both the live CD and the installed OS which i'm running. I've tried every fix I can find on the Internet, including a setting changed in the text-mode ALSA Mixer, installing a package from synaptic, and other fixes for older versions of Ubuntu that can't be done on 10.04.
I have installed the Ubuntu 10.04 on a HP Pavilion dv3-2150ep laptop and I can't get sound on my headphones when I plug them. Besides the laptop speakers don't shutdown either - like it happened with the same OS on my Toshiba Tecra M4."aplay -l" lists my card properly and nothing is muted on "alsamixer". It states that my card is a HDA Intel with chipset Nvidia MCP78 HDMI.
if I put headphones in the jack then it would not cut the speakers and not come out of the headphones. I was able to fix this although I can't remember how and then the sound only came out of the headphones but I fixed this too. Yesterday, I upgraded to Maverick and the sound problems returned although this time the computer simply ignores the headphones and gives out sound through the speakers.
I have an HTPC running Ubuntu 11.04 and Boxee. Main sound is through HDMI (nVidia MCP73). I would also like to use the headphone jack on the computer from time to time (kids sleeping, etc). Is this possible? I've browsed around here but haven't found anything definitive. I've monkeyed around with the settings in alsamixer quite a bit and haven't found anything promising.
The laptops speakers work fine (in fact they're clearer and stronger than ever), but I can't use audio equipment that I plug into the audio jack (headphones, speakers, ect.).
I checked System/Sound, looked into the Output tab, and found that there are two devices for sound output displayed: Internal Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI, cause my laptop has an HDMI port), and Internal Audio Analog Speaker (default sound output). No "Headphones" or "3.5mm Jack" or something like that. Even when I have something plugged in the jack.
So when I plug in my headphones, no sound comes from them, and the laptop speakers are still playing. It's like Ubuntu doesn't detect anything plugged into the audio jack at all.
Just completed a dual boot of win7 and jaunty today and all went well. Only problem is when I connect my mikomi headphones the audio comes through both the headphones and the speakers. I don't have this problem in windows. I'm just wondering if someone could point me towards a driver i may have to download or a setting i need to change.
I have Ubuntu 9.10. Clean install. I have a cheap headset but can't get sound to come thru the headset. The mic works, but sound only comes from main speakers.
I do not have a HP, SONY or anything like that. I bought my pc barebones and built myself. So there doesn't seem to be any easy fix for my pc. Here are the specs:
After updating my kernel my sound stopped working. I followed the sound problems guide in the sticky thread at the top of this forum and I've now got it to the point where I get sound through the headphones but not through the laptop speakers. Here is my sound info (output from alsa-info.sh thingy). I've added various lines to the end of my alsa-base.conf but no luck.
i'm new to ubuntu, this is the second time i've installed it (i had enough of xp). with careful planning and thinking, i managed to get a few things working, like high resolution, java plugin, and flash. but there's a problem i encountered during listening to music: my headphone has only sound in the left speaker. i took a glance at system>preferences>sound, and i tried a couple options, but nothing worked.
some generic information: - i have an integrated sound card (into an abit kd7 motherboard). - my headphone is a thomson wpd265, which is working perfectly. - neither videos, nor .flac audio plays in stereo.
i tried to google the problem, but this thing seems to be a bit rare. i'm sure this problem is related to software, since everything went fine under different circumstances (xp). it turns out that neither the speaker system is working - only the front left works from the five, and 5.1 output laggs.
I have installed 10.04 on my sony vaio, model VPCF115FM, and when I plug in my headphones I can hear sound, but not from the speakers when I unplug the headphones. I have checked the alsamixer to make sure nothing was muted.
I've just installed ubuntu on my new laptop, an Acer Aspire 5745G. I have a couple of problems. Of course I try to google my problems first, but these efforts were fruitless
Problem 1: Sound works perfectly on the laptop speakers, but when I plug in my headphones, I can't hear anything. The laptop speakers go silent, but there is no sound in the headphones. Very annoying.
Problem 2: I have wireless Internet connection, but the wired network connection doesn't seem to work. There is no activity when I connect the computer to the router.
Problem 3: The button for ejecting the CD-tray isn't the regular type I'm used to with laptops I've used before. On this laptop there is a button just above the numpad keyboard area, that's supposed to eject the cd-tray. This doesn't work, but I can eject it using a command in a terminal.
Sound comes out of my laptop speakers, but only when hardware is selected as "Analog Stereo". "Digital Stereo" does not function at all. I don't think this is a priority though.
More importantly, my headphones do not have sound unless it is only partway plugged into the headphone jack. However, this does not help as sound is still coming out of my speakers. The instant I plug it all the way in, the sound disappears from both speakers and headphones. I have not tested this with multiple headphones (no access), but these ones work just fine in Windows 7 plugged in all the way.
I have tried an amazing number of things back in '09 when I was running 9.10, but gave up as no one could provide the answer. The threads that are related are: [URL] (Don't worry about read-only file stuff, that is all resolved) [URL]
I am now on a FRESH install of 10.04 Lucid Lynx, so any changes I made in attempt to fix it is gone.
Looking into alsamixer, I found that there is a headphones column, but no bar. It just says it's on. So headphones don't seem to have their own level of volume that's set too low.
Here are some outputs: lcat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec:
I have a laptop computer running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. When headphones are inserted into the headphones port, sound continues to come out the internal speakers, and not through the headphones.
This works fine in Windows 7, so the hardware appears to be good. This did work properly when we first installed Ubuntu - it spontaneously stopped working one night, so I'm not sure what we did to make it stop acting normally.
I have run "alsamixer" in the terminal, and toggled every mute and volume bar there is (there are only 4). The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite T135D-S1324.

I replaced the motherboard and now the sound on 11.04 only comes from the headphone jack. however when i boot into bios i can get the bios to beep through speakers. the speakers also do not produce sound on a Ubuntu live CD. Here is my output of lspci so you can see all my hardware inside. p.s. its a laptop dell stidio 1558
I'm a beginner with Fedora, I decided a few weeks ago to test it. Yet, I have some trouble with the sound. I have two cards: Code: lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be9 (rev a1) When I have done the installation the sound work great, but now I have to use my headphones if I want to heard something.
pointers on troubleshooting audio? I have tried various headphones but there is no sound.System details are as follows:- SuSE Linux 11.1- KDE 4.1.3- Foxconn 661FXME motherboard- Onboard audio, 5.1 channel, AC97 interface (Realtek), ALC655 chip
I have an HP Pavilion Desktop computer with integrated speakers in the screen. When I do not have any headphones plugged in my headphone jack, sound is coming out of the speakers.When I plug headphones in my headphone jack, sound is coming out of both the speakers and the headphones. I would like for sound to come only from the headphones when they are plugged in.
