I 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 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 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?
where i can find a driver for Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AC97 for Linux
View 5 Replies View RelatedRecently installed Ubuntu 9.1 following an easy how to. The install session went really well, smooth and only had one little speed bump when deciding which drive to install to (running raid and did not want to loose other partition). Like most speed bumps I got passed it. Ran all the updates then decided to start listening to music with Rythmbox Music Player. The sound coming out of my Klipsch Pro Media 4.1 was muffled and sounded like just the subwoofer was on. I checked all connections and they were fine. I tried looking for equalizer but did not find it and then noticed the sound was like a skipping record. So I looked it up and came across some posts that I could not figure out if they were for my problem. Seemed to me they were just leading me in circles.

New Ubuntu installation with a big problem: no sound.
OS: Ubuntu 10.4.1
Hardware: HP Pavilion Elite e9150t (64 bit)
Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Preliminary checks of sound level settings and obvious dumb stuff but there is still no sound. The problem seems to be that the system does not recognize the existence of the sound card and insists on using alternative audio devices.

Installed Fedora 11 successfully, but I cannot get the MP3 files to produce sound.
Have tried the default configuration for sound, the Pulseaudio and the PulseAudioSoundServer.Installed and use KDE interface. Sound works for SKYPE (after selecting HDAIntel) and the Firefox 3.5 Beta 4.
Below are the configuration details.

Sound problems in Fedora 14.
Before Fedora 14 i have Fedora 12 and all was ok with sound. Starting with root account surprize i have sound. But after playing a song in xmms, sound is dead. I have tested sound in Windows and is ok.
Upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 using standard Update Manager procedure. Now I get a sound (thump) in my speakers for almost every button click. The sound theme in System / Preferences / Sound is "No sounds". I would like to completely disable any "activity" sounds from the OS, but nothing works.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was just using the mic and watched it stop working suddenly. I was in the middle of a skype test call when the graphical mixer level died down to zero in the middle of the call. When the test call was played back, the first part sounded fine then the sound got lower until it became inaudible. Since then I can't get any sound from my mic in skype.
Also, the audio input level graphically shown in Sound Preferences shows no fluctuations in sound as it used to before. The input device is enabled. I tried using Sound Recorder to record some sound clips and that worked fine. So the mic is working but Sound Preferences and Skype seem to have the mic level really low. I'm not sure what else to think considering it was working perfectly a few minutes ago. I've tried restarting, but that didn't fix it either.
After installing an external sound card, Im having some weird issues. The cards chipset is fully supported by suse, (CM8738) so I dont think thats the problem. Besides, I'm getting sound, but not in some applications. The system's sounds work just fine (login, logout themes) amarok plays without any problems, kaffeine, mplayer they all work flawlessly, in fact I can see the difference in quality between the onboard sound and my new card. However, no web browser is able to play any sound at all, firefox, opera or chrome, nothing,zip. Plus, vlc cant reproduce sound either, nor can smplayer.
I've tried switching channels on and off(muting)in kmixer and in alsamixer, on the console, with no results. I disabled the onboard audio on the bios before installing the new card, however my ati video card has integrated sound, which I cant disable.... I used to get this exact same problem randomly with the onboard sound, but I just had to go to kmixer and turn up the "pcm" channel volume, which was set to 0, and I had sound again on my browser. However this card's pcm channel is at max and turning it up or down affects the whole systems volume, not just the browser's. Is it better to just reinstall the sound system, if so how could I do that.
I bought a Diamond Xtreme Sound 5.1 sound card because I had read online that this card was a good choice with Linux and came with universal driver software. I installed the hardware correctly (as it works with WinXP) but I'm not able to get it working with Ubuntu.

I have read everything I can get my hands on, and there seem to be many people without sound. However, I can't seem to find anything from the suggestions that will work.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI know that beta is unstable, but I didn't expect my sound to quit working. Especially because it was an upgrade and not a clean install. On another thread I saw that "pulseaudio -k" but it did nothing for me. I don't even know if my sound card is being detected.

View 2 Replies View Relatedif 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Lenovo-G460 laptop. The audio works fine when the laptop's speakers are used, but headphones don't work.
No sound comes from the headphones, and even the laptop's speakers continue to function when the headphone's jack is inserted.
I've checked on the Windows-7 installation on the machine and everything is fine there.
Is there something that needs to be enabled in Ubuntu to get the headphones to function.
i installed ubuntu 10.04 and after installation it had automatic updates i did that updates ter wer around 150 updates after these updates the output sound is gone. it is detecting my sound card and its not muted in alsamixer.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to figure out why my sound cut out when I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.10.
I tried 10.10 before and remember that for some reason it began muted. Well, that's not the problem this time.
I went to sound in preferences and didn't see anything alarming or informing.
Nevertheless, I lack sound and don't know how to do figure out what I'm missing.
