Ubuntu Multimedia :: Keep ALSA Drivers Working?
Jan 9, 2010Running songbird, have been just fine for months, now every time I try to play a file I get "autoaudiosink and alsasink are missing." I can cure this by following the "Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel" instructions in the comprehensive sound solutions guide. But I have to do this *every time* I restart my computer. How can I fix this permanently?

Feb 5, 2010I have an HP-dc5800 computer, and my internal speaker was not working, no matter what i did. However, i could get sound with headphones. Here is what i did to fix it. It may work for you.
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf Add options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 enable_msi=1 to the end of the file. I changed model=hp-m4 to model=hp-dc5800. So, changing the model to the model of your computer may work. Underneath that, i put in; options snd-hda-intel enable=1 enable_msi=1 single_cmd=1 power_save_controller=1 here is a list of some of the models. http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentat...dio-Models.txt
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Alsa Not Working At Startup?
Aug 2, 2010My audio was working just fine up until today, when I was working on some audio production stuff. I did QjackCtl, and also ran pulse-jack so I could use another app not in jack. Now, upon a boot up, there is no gnome-volume-control-applet or gnome-volume-control running. When I run gnome-volume-control it says there is no sound device (without Jack running). When I do it with Jack and Pulseaudio running (doing QjackCtl and pulse-jack), gnome-volume-control shows info about jack, but no hardware. I have sound, I just can't affect it volume-wise, etc. When I run pacmd I get this:
$ pacmd
Daemon not responding.
When I close QjackCtl I then get an error in a window that says merely: Waiting for sound system to respond.
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Not Working With ALSA
Nov 5, 2010I was having a problem with ALSA, installed OSS, but now nothing works. I want to remove OSS, and reinstall ALSA. I am thinking about reinstalling, but I have all my stuff on here, so don't really want to.

Oct 25, 2010At least, I think it was the update that broke it. Anyway, my sound was working fine yesterday. I have gone through this thread to try and fix my sound, and it appears that my sound card has been uninstalled.

Software :: ALSA - Sometimes Only One Speaker Working?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Volume Control Not Working After Alsa Upgrade?
Apr 7, 2010My internal mic on sony vaio was not working on karmic 64bit. After I followed these instructions [URL] (updated alsa to 1.0.22) I got the microphone working, but now mplayer does not play any sound (although it plays files), as it tries to use pulse by default. However when run with -ao alsa, it works fine.
Other than that, the volume control has not effect on the sound, so every time I need to control it using alsamix.
When I remove pulseaudio, everything seems to be working, except gnome-volume-control and gnome-volume-control-applet do not start, and the keyboard volume controls dont work.
Here are the sound cards I have:
Code:

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Configuring Alsa (or Alsa-oss) After Hardware Upgrade?
Nov 19, 2010I have recently been forced to do a hardware upgrade (my previous mobo died). Now, sounds works ok with,amarok because kde has recognized the new hardware and switched to it.
..... does not work, likely because flash uses alsa-oss which is probably not configured automatically. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both alsa-oss and flash, but it didn't solve the problem.
Debian Multimedia :: Squeeze And Alsa Not Working With Rear Jack Speakers?
May 24, 2010I'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.
Summary of some settings (transposed manually)
# aplay -l

card 0: Headset (Logitech) device 0: usb audio
subdevice 0/1

Ubuntu Multimedia :: SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 USB - ALSA
May 27, 2011I'm having trouble after installing Lubuntu-desktop on top of a Ubuntu Server (64 bit). about the reason for this abomination of distributions is to achieve 64 bit Lubuntu. I used to run Ubuntu 64 straight, but didn't like Unity at all; Arch Linux was great up until now, but I'd like to settle down and focus more on productivity.
The situation is thus: I cannot manage to make my X-Fi USB sound card work without hacks, and at best it only works in some applications. I *think* it may be a bug in ALSA, but I had no problem in the latest versions of Ubuntu (11.04 as of this) and Xubuntu even (11.04?).
I can currently only play media in VLC media player using the following hack in my ~./asoundrc
Code:
This works as expected, but not for many applications (which fail to launch, with a error message related to below (no mixer controls))
Code:
What could I be missing? Some diagnostic information (any other information on request):

Ubuntu :: No Sound After ALSA 1.0.24 Upgrade
Mar 16, 2011I am using linux mint 9 with kernel 2.6.32.29. I upgraded from alsa 1.0.23 to 1.0.24 using the alsa upgrade script. Sound was working just fine before on my Asus Xonar DS, However, my nvidia geforce 430's hdmi audio card is not recognized in 1.0.23 but it is in 1.0.24. Though the card is detected, I have no sound on either cards now.

Aug 18, 2010So I ran my updates today (I'm running 10.04) and was required to restart. I did so, but after logging in none of my sound worked. In fact, the entire sound structure appeared to vanish. I could not access alsamixer (either user or root: Looks like this
Code:
$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
$ sudo alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
$ which alsamixer
/usr/bin/alsamixer
I also cannot play things from Pandora or Rythembox (which I used to play CDs). I can open the sound preferences window but there is nothing under Hardware, so perhaps the update threw out my device driver? I can see if I can reinstall, but I'd rather an easier fix if there is one out there. I hate screwing with the sound when there is a simple way to do something.
