I have an Asus 1005PE that I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on. I've set up a hot key to mute/unmute by using the command
amixer sset Master toggle
For some reason it works fine if the computer is booted while not being muted, but if the computer is booted and is muted, the command will not unmute.
Fedora 14 xfce
HP Mini 210

I am been using Fedora 14 on my HP mini for a few weeks now. Everything was working fine. However, since I have updated my system a few time using yum upgrade. I can no longer get the sound working.
If I go to Menu | multimedia | pulseaudio sound control
All the volumes levels are at 100%. However, the mute button is muted and everything I press it, it remains muted.
My husband installed Linux on my computer about 2 months ago and ever since my computer has been stuck on the mute setting and I can't unmute it. There doesn't even seem to be a volume option anywhere on my computer. I am very bad with computers so I might just be looking in the wrong place.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 've just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and I had a really hard time doing so. I have downloaded and burned the ISO, I restarted in order to install ubuntu and my computer booted from the disk drive, no problem so far.After I chose my language the purple screen with the option "Install Ubuntu" appeared and I highlighted the option and pressed "Enter". THEN, I got a black, empty screen while I was able to listen to my disk drive reading the disk.Everything was OK except for my screen.I thought there was a problem with the ISO or the disk itself. But, I 've tried different CDs and DVDs and I also downloaded the ISO several times. Unfortunately, I had always the same problem: disk drive working (making sound), screen-->BLACK-EMPTY. I was about to give up hope when I decided to turn on my desk lamp because it was getting dark. I was working on my last attempt and after I, once again, pressed "Enter" on the "Install Ubuntu" option I got the same dark screen as always but this time, because of the lamp, I saw that Ubuntu was actually being installed but the screen did not have any light. I managed to install it properly using my lamp to see what's going on on my screen but it's obvious that I can't possibly work that way. SO, how do I make my screen light come back so I can enjoy my new OS???
Note: My screen is working perfectly with windows so, it cannot be a hardware problem.
I have a gateway laptop that I have attempted to dual boot, but the computer only sees the Ubuntu OS and the Vista Windows Recovery Partition. (Actually, gnome reports 3 separate Ubuntu OSs... part of the problem?)
When I type fdisk -l, I get the following message code...
I upgraded to 11.04 today, and ever since the upgrade my speakers (and headphones; any audio device) emit a high-pitched shriek when connected to the computer. This only happens after I enter my password on the login screen, and only in Ubuntu. There's no problem when I boot Windows.
The sound is very high pitched and my speakers play no other generated sounds while emitting this static. Obviously, I'd like to be able to have sound and listen to my music, so this needs to be fixed.
I'm using squeeze. I wanted to know how you could determine from the command line in tty1 (or tty2 through tty6) what the resolution was that text was being displayed at. Is there a way? I know that in grub, you're supposed to be able to go to the command line and type vbeinfo. I tried this and got some information, but somehow I think it doesn't always apply to the terminal after the computer has booted up.

I have a microphone perfectly working on windows but I'm not able to use it on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. I can't either record a sound or use skype.
I've installed Gnome-Alsa and unmuted every slider I could unmute on Alsa. But if I go on "Sound Preferences, Input, Choose a device for sound input" there's nothing I can choose. And the "input volume" is gray and so the "mute" check-box.
I thought that it was a driver problem so I went to Asus website to download Audio driver for my mother board (Asus Rampage II Gene). I got a package with Alsa drivers so I think they're already in Ubuntu.
What should I try?
I can't believe that a simple microphone doesn't work in Ubuntu 10.10 with a quite new Asus motherboard. It works in windows!
The volume on my computer randomly mutes/unmutes itself rapidly at unpredictable intervals. sometimes it works fine, other times it does not. I cannot find out what the problem is. I have never had this problem until recently, and this problem has surfaced in ubuntu 10.10, 10.04, 64 and 32 bit versions of the operating systems. I have used this hardware setup for a year before this problem ever surfaced. My hardware is installed and working fine, I just cannot figure out why this is happening. Does anyone know of some commands I can use to find out what is causing the volume to mute/unmute itself?

View 10 Replies View RelatedAccording to HDA Analyzer, my sound card is muted; however, I can't unmute it through HDA Analyzer or anything else. According to alsamixer, everything is unmuted, though. According to the ALSA documentation, there's no 'model' id for my codec -- Conexant 5069 -- so I don't have an option to put in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf. What can I do to unmute the card???

I recently purchased a Genius "SM-Live Value 5.1 Audio 5.1 Channel PCI Acceleration Card.". I see from the the User's Manual that it works with "Linux" and I'm pleased to confirm that it works very well with Debian Squeeze (although, after inserting the sound card in its slot, when I rebooted I got a dark sceen shortly after the Grub menu and the kernel wouldn't boot until I disabled the onboard codec in the BIOS).
The Genius soundcardI is recognized as:~$ lspci | grep audio03:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10) The question is this: I get sound for either the speakers or the headphones by inserting their green phono plugs into the socket of the sound card at the back of my desktop computer but I don't get sound from the similar socket on the front. With the onboard audio device, the front socket works perfecly. At the moment, I'd like to have my two speakers permanenly plugged into the new soundcard at the back of the PC and reserve the front socket for the headphones. I'd also like to try "surround sound" some time. I've been digging around and found this ALSA Multi-channel Audio mini-HOWTO. But is all this somewhat convoluted configuration necessary just to unmute the front phono socket or am I missing a simpler solution?
As per the title, the per application volume mixer has disappeared and I can no longer unmute things i have previously muted.

I have two laptops, one has sound muted at start up (karmic), like in this thread , and i like it and in one the sound is not muted and i want it too be (lucid), like in this threadhow do i set to mute on startup (or shutdown to be more precise)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been having some issues with my sound for a few weeks. Every time I reboot, my sound is muted. I have to open up alsamixer every time and unmute it manually. It is not the "master volume" that is muted but instead the "speaker" volume is the one that is muted. This started when i started up my computer and the ubuntu log-in sound started playing extremely loud. I quickly tried to turn down the volume while it was still booting and ever since then, i have been having this issue. Also, the volume control on my laptop no longer works, even after i adjust the volume with alsamixer. It still shows on the screen that the volume is being adjusted, but it does nothing. I hoped i explained this well enough for someone to be able to help me with this issue. Also, sorry if this issue has been posted before.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've seen loads of threads about this sound issue, and I've experienced/fixed it before (after HOURS of searching), but this time it's worse. I'm running Maverick. I accidentally muted my sound and shut down with it muted. Upon restart, no sound is present through headphones, speakers, anything. The sound card still shows up in the options. Sound also has been disabled on my LIVE DISC OF 11.04These sound problems are the absolute worst part of Ubuntu. I'm almost ready to jump ship back to...vista *shudder*
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got an asus a8js laptop and since installing karmic, the built in microphone is permanently on. Every once in a while I brush my finger of the mic unintentionally and it makes some mad feedback.
I've ruled out that this is caused by pulseaudio, the problem occurs when pulseaudio is off (pulseaudio --kill) and I've set .asoundrc to go straight through the hardware.
My first thought was to check alsamixer, but I muted (capture, mic, mic boost set to 0) it in there to no avail. Consequently, any time I move a slider (any one, PCM, mic, Front...) the microphone mutes for 3 to 15 seconds and then is suddenly live again.
Here's my .asoundrc
Code:
In all the soundcard works fine, it's just that the mic is always on and I can't seem to set it otherwise.
I've recently installed Xubuntu Lucid Beta2 on my new laptop. But I'm unable to turn the bell back on. The 'pcspkr'-module is removed from the blacklist and is loaded. However, 'alsamixer' doesn't show me any volume-options for the beep. However, 'echo -e "a"' still doesn't make a sound. I've installed the 'beep'-package, and it works, thus I am assuming that the hardware-bell itself does WORK fine. It's just deactivated/muted somewhere, and I can't find the option to turn it back on.

I've got no sounds from my audio card. I have established this knowledge by confirming it by using two separate sets of speakers. In addition, there is a weird muted icon in the top left corner. I've looked through the sound settings, including alsamixer, and I cannot find whats muted. Please see attached screenshot. As you can see, my output it muted, but the speaker is back (see a) in screenshot), not white like it normally is (see b) in screenshot). How to restore sound from my audio ports?
