Ubuntu Multimedia :: KDE Detected That One Or More Internal Sound Devices Were Removed
Jan 22, 2011
Rhythmbox plays some music (not all of it) and it sounds crappy. And when I start Amarok I get this: KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed. Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices? This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed: Output: HDA Intel (INTEL HDMI) Output: HDA Intel, INTEL HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)What to do?
I tried to install the latest RealTek driver for Linux and it has wiped all my devices. I've tried reinstalling the alsa-base packages but it hasn't worked
I am having problems understanding how sound capable devices are being used on my Ubuntu10.10 64 bit system. I have an ASUS A8V motherboard with on-board multimedia functions provided through the VIA V8237 chip. BIOS gives me the option to disable this functionality and I have set BIOS this way. I want to use an M-Audio 24/96 card for all sound processing.
However, in applications like Audacity the VIA chip functions are all available and can be set as recording and playback devices. The same is true in ALSA.
Why does 'linux' (I have no idea which part of the OS) ignore the BIOS settings?
Furthermore alsamixer always selects the 'default' devices. Where and how are these set?
<System><Preferences><Sound> hardware tab list 2 'Internal Audio' devices but no M-Audio device. What are these devices? Only 1 of them appears to create any output with the 'Test Speakers' tab. This confuses me completely because the speakers are connected only to the M-Audio card.
None of the profiles for 'Settings for the selected device' match the capabilities of the M-Audio card (1 set of stereo inputs and 1 set of stereo outputs). So where are these profiles coming from? Which do I select for the M-Audio card?
What do the Input and Output tabs in <System><Preferences><Sound> mean? Are these different to the hardware tab? The 'Output' tab lists2 devices for sound output: 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo, Stereo' twice. What devices are these ?
I'm having issues getting the nvidia-current drivers working with a GeForce 8400 graphics card on Ubuntu 10.10 (x64). After running nvidia-xconfig and restarting, X fails to start with an error: No devices detected.
Here is my xorg.conf:
Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 260.19.06 (buildmeister@builder101) Mon Sep 13 04:59:45 PDT 2010 Section "ServerLayout"
I took out some USB speakers that had been working for many months because I needed them on another PC. I plugged the audio out (lime colored female connector on back of Ubuntu PC) into my stereo receiver's VCR audio in (Red and white jacks), no sound. Yes, the cable is fine (same cable I took off the other PC which was working fine), and the receiver is set to VCR. I recall having to go through some hoops to get the USB speakers working way back when. The Pulseaudio volume control shows left and right pulsating bars when I have on Pandora, but sound is obviously not being sent to the right output. I also tried the optical audio out on the PC into the receiver's DSB optical in but again no sound.
I just attempted to purge and reinstall ALSA (and all of it's related packages/utils) after disabling the on-board sound in an effort to use only an M-Audio Delta 1010 as the sole sound device. I've also tried to reinstall Envy24, as well as drivers for the ICE1712 chip... Now,I have no sound devices. alsamixer tells me there is such file or directory. When I go to /proc there isn't even an asoundrc file there.
I don't know what to do. I've spent the last 4 hours looking for a fix, and trying all sorts of things, even the comprehensive sound troubleshooting guide on this forum. Nothing. I got absolutely nothing. Everything goes exactly as the guide states, except after rebooting, and trying aplay -l and alsamixer, it says there's nothing installed?I have to have a sound, this machine is a DAW .End result I'm looking for is to use the Delta 1010 as the ONLY sound device.
Up until about a week ago using Kubuntu 9.10, the sound on this computer was fine, but now every day when I turn the computer on I have no sound and I get a notification from Phonon saying: The audio playback device NVidia (ALC883) does not work. Falling back to.
If I turn the computer off and then back on, sound is working again. code...
I've spent the last couple hours trying to figure out how to get my SoundBlaster XFi card working, but somehow in the process seem to have now also broken my on-board sound which when I first installed did work. I have no idea how as I hardly touched anything.Both cards are recognized in Sound preferences, sound is not muted there nor in Alsamixer. But neither produce any sound at all now.
Searching around the forums it seems that as of now my XFi should, kind of, work out of the box, but I've had no such luck.I'd really like any advice possible on getting my XFi with headphones to work in 10.04, but if this can't be done I'd atleast like to find a way to fully reset my sound setting so my on-board will work without having to wipe this partition and reinstall - there Must be an easier solution than that.
Im running Ubuntu 10.10 and a couple of days ago, my usb sound deviced stopped working, possibly because of a recent update, as I didn't change something on my system as far as I can recall.My internal sound card still works just fine whatsoever, but my external devices,
E-MU 0202 USB Logitech USB Headset
which also used to work flawlessly in the past, don't play audio anymore.Although they are still detected and selectable in the PulseAudio Volume Control.I can exclude hardware problems because everything is fine in WinXP.
I'm having problems with my ubuntu 10.10 .That's the story..... I've installed a fresh copy of 10.10 from the website of ubuntu, the desktop verison ,32bit , for my medion WIM2160 . So , i don't have any problems with media, wifi or web browsers , but the only problem is that i don't have sound from my internal speakers on my laptop, although i have sound with my headphones (logitech).I will upload the output info from my terminal
I have noticed a few threads on getting sound to work properly. I had a problem getting my internal sound card to work on 5.1 channels and investigated the links and information given in the various threads and found that there are slight differences from the references to what I had to do. Firstly, it's a good idea to read through these links first.
I am attempting to get ubuntu working on my system.I have tried on previous systems without success, hopefully it works out this time.Currently my only major issue with it is I cannot get any sounds to play.I use a Logitech G35 usb headset and onboard audio (GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard, Realtek ALC892 audio chipset).Ideally, I'd like to be able to listen from either source, though just getting one working would be great.Ubuntu is currently not detecting any sound.
Using aplay -l, it said no sound card found. Using lspci -v, so sound devices were listed.I am a complete noob to ubuntu, I had to research to figure out what to do with 'aplay -l' (Application -> Accessories -> Terminal, type command in terminal). My Windows troubleshooting skills seem largely useless in a Linux environment.
I have an asus G73 JW laptop and when I look at all the profiles under material tab, there is not one that includes the .1 of the subwoofer, I have stereo, 4.0 surround but no .1 .... When I play music no boom boom comes out of the sub...
I have Hp Pavillion dv4-1235ee Notebook PC with windows vista.there is no sound coming from internal speakers, 3d sound blaster pro compatible sound 16 bit integrated.
I don't have any sound after installing Linuxant ALSA driver. I tried uninstalling it and the hsf driver, didn't help. Reinstalling ALSA didn't help either. Ubuntu doesn't detect my sound card, and aplay doesn't detect my sound card. lspci -v output for sound card:
Code:
00:07.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0126 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
I've spent the past 2 days attempting to get the sound working on a Toshiba A75 notebook. Here is what i've tried so far: remove/purge alsa and pulse audio then reinstall set up/configure OSS download and compile latest alsa drivers. code...
My questions are: is there anyone using this laptop on Lucid with sound? Can anyone provide a new idea how to make this work if it is compatible hardware.
I was using alsa, but then reverted temporarily to pulseAudio due to a minor issue. Later on, I did remove pulseaudio through yum. And that was the end. No matter what alsa/pulseaudio version I install or reinstall...
I am just getting started with Ubuntu and love it so far. It has breathed new life into an old Compaq Presario V2000 and once I get up to speed on it I hope to start running it on all the rest of our machines.
The only major problem I am having is that none of the USB devices I have plugged in are being detected. From what I have seen online I should be getting a notification and should be able to view the devices at Places/Computer but so far, nothing. Googling this problem it appears that individual devices often don't work but I could not find anything on all USB devices not working.
After I installed my ati grapics driver (the ati driver from the ati website) my ubuntu has this weird problem. When loading there is a line that cought my attention: Running DKMS auto installation service for kernel 2.6.34: fglrx (8.543)...Failed
I think that has something todo with the other error I get which is: Primary device is not PCI (EE No devices detected) Fatal server error no screens found giving up. I have an ATI 5650 Radeon mobile grapics card By the way.
My USB devices are being detected when I run the 'lsusb' command.However there is no driver that is set to the device.Also the /dev/sdX device is created so there is a mount point
I recently had a hard drive on a computer (not to be obvious), and I fried the computer. You may ask "well why did you do that?" well, simply because I had accidentally bumped and switched to 220 volts, rather than keeping it at 115 like a sane individual. Anyway, I got a new computer, swapped the hard drive. When I go to boot into ubuntu though, it gives me the following error:
Code: Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this. (EE) No devices detected.
I also have XP on this hard drive, and it works almost better than it did on my old one, surprisingly. all i have to do now for it to be labeled as efficient, is to get some RAM. But anyway, what can I do about the error message? I tried booting into recovery, running dpkg from the list of options, and it did a couple of things.
Whenever I plug in my usb flash drive or my memory card adapter they are not detected. If you can help me I will provide any kind of information needed to solve the problem, just tell me what command to run. Also my cd/dvd drive is still not being detected or is mislabeled on ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx.
I recently upgraded my HDD to 160 GB ..I actually wanted to exchange the old HDD (40GB) and adjust with the price of the new one..The comp service guy said that the internal HDD could be used as a USB disk if I purchase a CASE for this..I bought a case thro which I attached the old IDE HDD... The LED is on when I connect (The USB cable had 2 leads which I had to connect it in 2 USB slots- Direct in my cabinet (not thru Hub),,, Ubuntu 10.04 is recognizing the disk in "System Info" as "USB - Generic HDD"...But that's it, I am not able to run Gparted or anything...Even in win7 , it said "Installing software for devices" and later on nothing happens...This is not shown in File Manager I would like to know how to format and make it usable..
Also , since HDDs involve some amount of power , is it wise to connect it to another computer, I mean there wont be an overload or spike or something like that?? We have 220 Volt electricity in my country... Aso logically speaking there has to be a limit I mean, you cant keep "chain loading" multiple HDD through USB Hubs ,right!!
I've just installed ubuntu on my father's netbook hp 210 mini 3g with internal 3g modem. At the beginning everything was fine - system automatically detected modem and asked for PIN code. I was very surprised but during download some updates connection broke.. and since then ubuntu doesn't detect modem. I have even reinstalled system
In the broadband connection wizard there is no device detected. I'm on ubuntu 11.04, but on the 10.10 was the same problem.
Recently I installed Fedora 12 without any hassles except that the USB devices are not getting detected. I checked with /proc/interrupts and the ehci_hcd module doesn't get any interrupts. Here is my dmesg (done to show only USB related messages) :
Code:
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs usbcore: registered new interface driver hub usbcore: registered new device driver usb
Last week, I received a used, older (built ~ 2005 or so) IBM ThinkCentre desktop (machine 8143-2EU) having a Pentium 4 (64 bit), 3.0 GHz CPU. It came with WinXP- 64 bit as the sole OS. When I tested my USB devices with the WinXP OS, they were detected and read. I wiped the WinXP and installed MEPIS 11- 64 bit. [There's only a single Intel Pentium 4, 64 bit CPU known to work for MEPIS 11- 64 bit. It's the Pentium 4 Prescott with EM64T. I don't know if my P4 is that one.] Things seem OK with my MEPIS 11- 64 bit OS except for the times when I plug in USB devices--> they're not detected nor read. In a MEPIS forum, a guy told me to try, after first plugging in the USB devices, running lsusb in Konsole. I do that, the system wakes up, and the USB devices are detected and read. But why do I have to do this to get my system to detect and read the devices? I've made the MEPIS system setting so that all USB devices are automounted when plugged in. Doing that did not correct this problem. As root, in Konsole, I ran hwinfo and noticed that for the USB controllers, the driver - uhci_hcd - is not active. Here's the hwinfo output for one of the USB controllers:
18: PCI 1d.2: 0c03 USB Controller (UHCI) [Created at pci.318] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_265a
[code]...
[I suppose or guess that all MEPIS users who don't have this USB-device-detection-and-read problem have uhci_hcd.] To see what would happen as a test, I also used a MEPIS 11- 32 bit Live DVD in this computer having the MEPIS 11- 64 bit OS. When I use the Live DVD, I have the same USB detection-and-read problem! What does that mean? With some USB devices plugged in while I'm using the Live DVD, I'm forced again to run lsusb in Konsole. This wakes up the system so that it detects and reads plugged-in USP devices. Why? Any idea on how to fix this? Does this problem seem more a software one rather than a hardware one?
I have installed Imgburn and it wont detect my cd drive, I configured wine and everything and no matter what I can't get it to recognize my driver, what am I to do?
Recently I have started using my netbook (Acer Aspire one D250) alot more due to travelling and I noticed that the mic didn't work. Headed to the Ubuntu forums and saw a thread about installing ALSA. So I did and now I have no sound. From what I can tell ubuntu is no longer picking up my sound devices but I'm sure. Hence why I am here. I need to get my sound working again (obviously) and then in turn get my mic working for mumble and other VOIP programs.
