Ubuntu :: Audio Not Working After A Failed Suspend?
Mar 25, 2011
EDIT: I found my problem--the box next to headphone box had been unticked, and I feel like a total doof for not having found that during my first two hours of trying to fix this. But I could still use some help figuring out my suspend problems issue--I've heard constantly turning a compy on and off is bad for it somehow.
A couple days ago I attempted to put my computer into suspend mode. When I used regular Ubuntu, this seldom worked. My hard drive would continue spinning, and the computer would not come out of this state until I cut the power and restarted. I thought it might be worth giving a try in Xubuntu, but I ran into the same problems, only this time, the audio would not work when I booted up.
I'm using the 64-bit version of Xubuntu, and this is a relatively fresh install (within the past two weeks) from the version 10.10 DVD, so I haven't had too much time to fudge up the settings yet, so I think it might not be entirely my fault. (: I've checked the hardware, and everything is plugged in and turned on, and I'm getting sound when I boot up Windows.
I may have done something afterwards, though. My first attempt at fixing the problem was to follow these instructions, but I really didn't understand entirely what I was doing. I tried fiddling around with the alsa mixer, but that didn't help me at all, and now it has even disappeared from the upper right-hand corner of my screen--on the toolbar. (If there's a way I could get that back and restore the default settings, [EDIT: I found alsamixer in the applications menu.]
I'd like to have audio working again, but I'm not really sure what's wrong or how to fix it. I'm still reading through Introduction to the Command Line, but as my previous attempt to solve this issue shows, I'm not smart enough to be afraid of entering commands in that I completely do not understand (yet).
I just upgraded to 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on a Dell laptop. Now when I close the laptop lid to suspend and then open it to resume, the audio disappears; have to reboot to get the audio back. I remember having this problem a while ago back on Hardy Heron and finding a kludge to fix it - a line inserted in a shell script that gets invoked on resume
I have been using this release sense its release. Suspend and resume have never worked. It is now taking it's toll on this laptop. The current kernel is 2.6.32-25-generic. I just want to know if their was ever a patch or update created for this problem.
Suspend worked before I completely reinstalled Testing from scratch. Now it seems to suspend OK, but when it tries to wake up it fails. Details here: [URL]
Last night I wanted to test the suspend mode on my laptop (Asus K52J) after I had successfully used hibernation mode, which did not work until I installed the latest kernel update. Unfortunately, it didn't go very well. I had to power off the laptop manually. This morning, I booted up Fedora but it didn't go beyond the blue screen with the logo. It just kept hanging there. I rebooted and tried previous kernel configurations but none of them worked. As a matter of fact, I have to write this from Windows.
This is all rather odd since I tried to suspend before and though it never worked, the fact that I had to power off the laptop manually didn't prevent Fedora from booting. I really hate not being able to use Fedora. It's fortunate that I put all my important data on a separate NTFS partition...
I have the Dell Latitude D400 with the B4306 PCI card. I followed the instructions in the stickies on this forum and downloaded and installed the firmware. Still could not get the wifi card to work. Here is the read-out:

I am just beginning with Linux - please take pity on me.
Karmic 2.6.31-22-generic, Asus M3N78-EM, MCE remote with USB/IR dongle, latest Bios, Bios PM enable and set for suspend S3. IT will suspend but I need to depress case power button for it to resume. I want to use my remote control, I also can not get it to resume from Keyboard/mouse (See Note Below). Only suspend and power button work.

I just built my new desktop yesterday, I got elementary Jupiter (built on Ubuntu 10.10) installed and running fine on it, everything works... except for when I tell it to suspend
Upon selecting suspend, the monitor goes black for all of about a second and then comes straight back to the lock screen, pretty damn irritating.
After suspending my computer, the battery icon doesn't work anymore (nothing happens when I put my mouse over it and it doesn't detect wether the computer is plugged in or not). Also, the brightness of the computer doesn't change when I plug/unplug the computer. All of that works fine before i suspend the computer.
Computer is an ACER Power F6, BIOS AMI F6, XPPro installed, C only 80 Gygabites, 2 Gyg RAM, 3000MHZ Pentium4.today I installed 10.0.4 from Canonical 32 bit, all was ok,I followed the suggested dual boot partition and proceedings,which gave XP 44 Gyga and Ubuntu 37 Gyga ,successfully finished install,rebooted and began updating and customizing with great zest as I was really happy about this new version. then I decided to make a break of an hour and thought : 'let's try now the suspend function as i read about it not working properly sometimes'.....so an hour later i tried to revive from suspension,but the pc remains utterly insensitive and black.Tried Del to get into BIOS,F12 to get to boot config,BART PE disk i made for an XP machine in the past, and tried to boot again from the live Ubuntu Cd .....all in vain.I suspect it might be the fact the BIOS was set by me for
1st Floppy 2nd CDROM 3rd HD or PenDrive
as this machine I inherited since a few days dates back to 2006 and has no burner only CD-DVD reader and Floppy is disabled in BIOS.After Ubuntu install the machine stopped for a long time on a black screen with white reading about errors during install,then I reset it and it seemed like a good install anyway.Apart from checking if the HD is still ok,what can I do or try in such a situation?
When I try either one I just get the lock screen where I have to enter my password to return to my session, but the computer never suspends or hibernates.
After upgrade from Hardy to Lucid, wireless card (Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 ) was extremely slow and not really functional. I installed the madwifi driver following the instructions from Ubuntu Wiki and wireless works now. But, after suspend Network Manager nor Wicd could scan for any wirelss networks.
I found a workaround: in console, run "dhclient" and, magically, while the scan for Ip address is going on, suddenly also Network Manager starts connecting to my default access point!
I have two problems, that I can live with, but they are just annoying for tha afact that I don't know how to fix them.1. My suspend does not work. Hibernation works - after I turn on after the hibernation, screen is blank, I have to move the mouse for the login window to appear. For Suspend, I get to the black screen, but then nothing happens - when I move the mouse or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, nothing. It is a laptop, if that makes a difference.2. When booting, I get a table of choices - the new kernel, the old kernel, memtests and the long gone windows partition. There is no /etc/grub/menu.lst and I've got no idea how to change this.
I have ubuntu 10.04 installed. I have a problem when my usb IR receiver is connected, than suspend mode isn't working. System will jump into black screen and that's all. Only hard reset works. I tested this problem also on ubuntu 9.04 and situation is the same.Is there any way how to force suspend mode without "looking" on this device? Do you need any log file to trace reason of this problem ?
I have a headless 10.04 ubuntu server ( running at home. Because I am a student I want to save some power by suspending the server when I really don't need it (school, sleep etc.). I have gotten WOL to work for me, BUT the suspend does not work.
I have tried pm-suspend and s2ram, but they both have same result; I lose all control (seems like a freeze) from my SSH, but it does not disconnect, and the server responds to pings. But I cant connect via ssh, or use the fileserver or any of the roles it has. I assume there might be something locking it when it tries to suspend, but I really don't know where to start looking (logs and stuff). I have googled quite a bit, but almost all failed suspends are some funky laptop issues, and this is not...
My problem is this: when I suspend, sound disappears, and I have to reboot to get it back, which is, needless to say, rather annoying. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, with a low-latency kernel.
I have three sound cards: 1) Delta 1010LT, which uses snd_ice1712 2) Sound Blaster Audigy 2, which uses snd_emu10k1 3) Some on-board Realtek thingy, which I guess uses snd_hda_codec_realtek
I use jack on the Delta1010LT, and I run pulseaudio through jack.
When, after a suspend, I try to restart jack via qjackct, it gives up and prompt the following:
Code: Acquire audio card Audio1 creating alsa driver ... hw:M1010LT|hw:M1010LT|128|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit Using ALSA driver ICE1712 running on card 1 - M Audio Delta 1010LT at 0xec00, irq 16 configuring for 44100Hz, period = 128 frames (2.9 ms), buffer = 2 periods code....
There should be the suspend and hibernate buttons in th System Menu, but there is only two options, Shut down and Log off.Also, in the Power Manager Preferences window, it has no option for suspend and hibernate.
This isn't the biggest deal in the world, but I would like to know how to suspend to ram with qdbus in order to make a shortcut. I used to (11.3) do: qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/powerdevil suspend 2 and make the shortcut meta S. Now in 11.4 if I manually type it into terminal qdbus says it cannot find .suspend in /modules/powerdevil at org.kde.kded. Did something change in 11.4? I also tried accessing it from org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement to no avail.
I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Although it has worked fine for the past couple of weeks, I have recently encountered a problem with my wireless card. It is an Atheros AR928X card on a Toshiba satellite U405D-S2874 model laptop. Recently, I attempted to put the computer into suspend mode for the first time. The computer failed to wake up, and I performed a hard reboot. After this, everything seems to work except for the wireless card. I am now unable to connect to any wireless network with my laptop, and the wireless manager doesn't seem to be working either.
Starting with kernels 2.6.29.x and above (which includes 2.6.30.x and 2.6.31.x),whether obtained from "kernel.org" of from the "FC11 repository", none of theseresume properly after putting the computer to sleep (suspend)... in my case, via"pm-suspend".When I press the "On" button, I hear the fan, but get no video. And the fan neverreturns to the normal resumed, slower speed -- which it normally does after aroper resume.Eventually I have to issue "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" to reboot. So the computeris resumed to some degree (to have been able to accept that sequence), butnot all the way - no video (and who knows what else)Any ideas -- I've searched high and low. Are there new kernel parametersI have to be aware of when I do a "make oldconfig", and go from there?
System is a Dell E7440, with Jessie, I recently upgraded to kernel 4.2.5 due to issues with wireless that are supposed to be fixed. (The same issue exists with jessie stock kernel 3.16 and BPO tough)
When I close the lid it often does not work and I get this in dmesg
Code: Select all[ 567.104335] pci_bus 0000:01: Allocating resources [ 567.104349] pci_bus 0000:02: Allocating resources [ 567.104415] pci_bus 0000:03: Allocating resources [ 567.104428] i915 0000:00:02.0: BAR 6: [??? 0x00000000 flags 0x2] has bogus alignment [ 567.105515] i915 0000:00:02.0: BAR 6: [??? 0x00000000 flags 0x2] has bogus alignment [ 567.105540] i915 0000:00:02.0: BAR 6: [??? 0x00000000 flags 0x2] has bogus alignment [ 567.105585] i915 0000:00:02.0: BAR 6: [??? 0x00000000 flags 0x2] has bogus alignment
[Code] ....
I suppose the i915 stuff is something I can ignore, However
Code: Select all[ 570.768020] acpi device:40: Cannot transition to power state D3hot for parent in (unknown)
seems to be the issue.. I don't even know what device:40 is.
in ls -l it shows as
Code: Select all lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 2 12:28 device:40 -> ../../../devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/INT33C6:00/device:40
The awkward thing is tough, software suspend by running "systemctl suspend" works perfectly and always.
Code: Select all [ 872.054627] PM: Syncing filesystems ... done. [ 872.091506] PM: Preparing system for sleep (mem) [ 872.092045] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done.

[Code] ....
So despite the mysterious issue with acpi device 40, how is real lid close different from "systemctl suspend"? And can I simply workaround the issue by making such a suspend when the lid closes?
When I resume my system after choosing the "Suspend to RAM" option, the login prompt appears but the keyboard doesn't work at all. (Caps/Num/Scroll don't light up either) The mouse, however, works fine and I'm able to click on the on-screen elements. Since I'm not able to login, I'm forced to reboot and abort the session. Note that this does NOT happen with the "Suspend to Disk" feature. (ie, it works fine).
System Specs:
openSUSE 11.2 KDE4.3 x86_64 (updated) Sony VAIO VGN-CS17G
I am using OpenSUSE with Reaper+SampleTank+wineasio+jack. I experienced that if I go on suspend or hibernate, I cannot come back in a working state for these applications and jack seems to be stuck. What is the solution?
Im a composer and I loaded up on some excellent applications for music creation and notation- so excited.. I start with Rosegarden. Failed to connect to JACK audio server. Try my other applications, same problem. Basically the JACK audio server just WILL NOT RUN (correctly). I can sudo it and press start, but still it wont "play with" the applications! Heres the error message from JACK (I also get related errors when I try to do ANYTHING involving music creation):
error JACK Audio Connection Kit -overall operation failed -unable to connect to server Here is the "fatal error" from MusE "Failed to Find Jack Audio Server" This is the JACK output:
after i installed latest ATI proprietary drivers ( 9.3 legacy drivers) for my HP compaq nc6000 with a "Mobility Radeon 9600" the standby and the suspension stopped working, i mean, if i try to suspend or hibernate my laptop, it closes X (this is fine) but after it gets freezed on the whole screen black with just a blinking underscore and nothing more, neither an error message after reboot.All i can do is to force shutdown by pressing poweron button for 5 secs.I'm running on a lenny, stable with stable repo.What can i do to understand where does this problem comes from and maybe fix it?
