Ubuntu Multimedia :: Loud Crackle From Speakers On Start-up

Nov 4, 2010

I am experiencing a loud crackle sound coming from my speakers at startup. It appears to be the alsa driver because when I disable it the crackle/pop stops. Sound works when playing back music and videos however. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I reported the issue to launchpad, and was told the issue would be fixed in the latest kernel; 2.6.35.2. I upgraded to 10.10.

Debian Hardware :: Constant Loud Crackling Noise From Yoga 2 Pro Speakers

Aug 27, 2015

This is a weird and persistent bug that I've been having. It's persisted across multiple distros (Arch and Debian) and is currently making my computer only usable without sound. I'm beginning to think it's the hardware.

Anyway, the hardware is a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop. I'm currently running Debian 8. The crackling noise begins shortly after I log in - it happens regardless of whether the audio is muted, or whether anything is currently playing. It's a very, very loud noise - on the level of a vacuum cleaner or similar (maybe, these things are hard to estimate). It sounds sort of like a fast series of crackling pops. If I put the machine to sleep with the power button the crackling will go away for a little bit after I resume - I haven't timed it or anything but I imagine that it takes 30 seconds to start up again (after the computer has woken from sleep).

I can completely eliminate the problem by doing the following:

Code: Select allblacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi
blacklist snd_hda_intel
blacklist soundcore
blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek
blacklist snd_hda_codec_generic

[Code] ....

But obviously, this makes the sound on the laptop not work at all. I've been listening to music with my phone, which is an ok workaround, but I'm a programmer and I'd like to be able to watch talks on youtube and so on.

lspci:
Code: Select all00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT DRAM Controller (rev 0b)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)
00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller (rev 0b)
00:04.0 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Device 0a03 (rev 0b)
00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series USB xHCI HC (rev 04)

[Code] ....

It started happening on Arch after a pretty standard install (i3wm with Xorg, browser, terminal emulator, etc) and I suspected that I had misconfigured something, so I installed Debian - I know other Debian users with this laptop who have not had this issue, and so I figured the default settings would treat me better. No such luck - it started happening again on the clean Debian install. One detail - both installs (the Arch install and the Debian one) use full disk encryption (lvm on LUKS) but I can't think of how that would affect it.

My only thought is that it's some weird power saving mode issue - the soundcard isn't used for a bit, so it cycles to a lower power state, and the bad thing happens.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Headphones Really Loud / Slow It Down?

Jan 20, 2010

My Compaq Presario B1800 is running 9.10, and the volume for the speakers is fine. When I plug in my earphones, I think the soundcard supplies the same power to the earphones which is OK quietest of the quietest settings, but way to loud even on the second notch.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Volumes Are Ear-shattering Loud Across Reboots?

Apr 27, 2010

I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop and I now remember why I didn't ever use it, and that is because the sound volumes are ear-shattering loud across reboots. I have tried doing:Code:sudo alsactl store 0However it doesn't save the settings. I can set the volumes manually using alsa-mixer but that is a pain.I have read the "comprehensive fix to audio problems"sticky but it did not alleviate my problem. And as far as I know, my alsa is up to date.I'm sorry I don't know the relevant output of code needed to show alsa version, etc., so please inform me and I will post accordingly.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Getting Headphone Sound Too Loud - Can't Control It / Make It Normal?

Aug 16, 2010

I have a laptop DELL Latitude D600. The sounds works great and I can control it with the laptop buttons (increase/decrease/mute volume).

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. In prior versions, I could control independently the volume for the speakers and for the headphones. And I was able to "join" them together so that when I increase the volume, it increases in both.

Now in 10.04 I can't find where to join them. But that's fine. The problem I have now is that the volume for the headphones seems to be a 10x multiplier of the "master" volume. For example, in order to hear "normal" on the headphones, the master volume has to be almost on mute. If I increase to 1/4 of the way out, the sound is too loud for a human being.

I went to alsamixer to see what's going on and started with everything at 0.

So I put my mouse on top of the volume control on the taskbar and with one "click" on the wheel (to increase volume) I get this code...

That's just one 'click' of the wheel... and the volume control shows almost nothing on the volume bar (the tooltip says Output: 5% -75.70 dB.

In the past the 5% gain in the output was proportional for the headphones. But now it's multiplied by a lot. This makes the volume control useless when using headphones. I have to go to alsamixer to adjust manually.

And to top it off, the new Ubuntu doesn't have the "old" volume control where you can see the level of each output element.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Is Vary Loud Until Volume Slider Is Touched

Sep 20, 2010

Basically every time I boot into Ubuntu any sound will be vary loud until I move the volume slider, it doesn't matter how much I move the slider as long as it moves then all sound will play at the normal volume and volume control works like it's suppose too until I reboot. This problem started in 9.10 and still happens in 10.04 and 10.10(as of a couple days ago).As far as I can tell the issue only exists in Ubuntu, doesn't happen in Fedora(Gnome), OpenSuSE(KDE) or Kubuntu.Running 10.04.1 32-bit, Logitech Clear Chat USB Headset, don't have any speakers.

Ubuntu :: Speakers Play When Heaadphones Plugged In - Sound Plays Out Of Speakers

Jun 17, 2011

I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop. When I plug my headphones, they sometimes work, they sometimes don't, but that's not the main problem. When they do work, sound also plays out of the speakers. The only solutions I was able to find were for earlier versions, which don't work for 11.04.

Ubuntu :: Laptop Speakers Ok / But External Speakers Not Recognized

Feb 17, 2010

I recently installed Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on my buddy's laptop. It's working alright, except when we try to plug the external computer speakers into the sound jack in the front, there is no change; it keeps playing through the onboard speakers. My friend and I are getting pretty frustrated because we use those speakers to watch movies with, and the onboard speakers aren't sufficient. If I need to provide any other info, let me know and I'll do so.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: (10.04 - 64 Bit) Isn't Using All Internal Speakers

May 3, 2010

Ubuntu (10.04 - 64 bit) isn't using all internal speakers. Only the right speaker is working, resulting in low volume. If I attach external speakers or headphones, everything is fine. I checked the Alsamixer, but there's nothing to unmute there that has any effect.

[Code]...

The sound settings shows Internal Audio and RV710/730, but if I switch to the latter I have no sound.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: HP Speakers Not Working In 10.04 64-bit

Sep 23, 2010

I'm a new Ubuntu user and I've only been using it for a couple of days. I realized that my external speakers do not work. I've been looking around for ways to solve it. I used alsamixer to look up my chip and card and stuff and it was

HDA Intel
Realtek ALC888

I ran a script which said it could get my speakers working by updating the alsa drivers, but not System->Preferences->Sound doesn't even show any sound card (Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio is what I have) and alsamixer fails to run. I'm just trying to get my speakers to work. Also System -> Preferences -> Sound now doesn't show my webcam mic or internal sound either...

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Mic Only Plays Through Speakers?

Oct 8, 2010

I just started with kubuntu 10.04 and first of all let me say I love it! I came from debian lenny with kde so a lot of it is similar. There is one problem: my microphone plays through my computer speakers but I can't record it or use skype with it (I mainly want to use skype). So first question is how do I stop it playing through the speakers and how do I use it with skype?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: PC Speakers - No Sound On TV

Oct 20, 2010

Before I upgraded to 10.10, I would hear sound on both my PC speakers and on my TV. The speakers are connected via the standard speaker out, the TV was connected via the line-out, through a stereo to RCA adapter. Video is supplied to the TV via HDMI. Now that I've upgraded to Maverick, however, I no longer get sound on the TV. This isn't the usual "sound stopped working completely on upgrade" issue, because I get flawless sound via the PC speakers just as before. I've tried most of the debugging steps recommended in other threads about audio, with no improvement.

The weird thing about all this is, when I plug other speakers or headphones into the same port, I hear audio. So I'm starting to suspect that the problem has to do with the HDMI audio out capability on my video card (an nvidia GT 240), which might have suddenly come alive (if not fully functional) with Maverick's new version of ALSA. I don't know what signal(s) my TV thinks it's getting and have no way of troubleshooting things on that side, but it seems possible that the HDMI it's getting video through is also sending a null/silent audio stream, and that stomps the analog audio signal it's getting from my sound card.

I see two output devices in Sound Preferences, "Internal Audio" and "High Definition Audio Controller". "Internal Audio", ie my onboard sound, is what's producing audio via the speakers. HDMI has never produced any audio, and I don't really need it to if I can just make it work the way it did before. I've tried completely disabling that device, even adding the "snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi" module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist - no change.

The solution for this could be one of two things: one, I could try to get the HDMI audio out working and let that be what my TV receives, two I try to make the audio setup work as before, with analog audio going to both speakers and TV. Thoughts? I'm leaning towards the latter, ie not bothering with the HDMI audio, as having another audio source would probably mean messing with PulseAudio which has otherwise worked 100% fine for me up until now. If need be I can supply more details on hardware, CLI output etc.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Audio From Speakers?

Feb 10, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10. The audio did not work prior to updating the system & software so it wasn't the updates. I have Bose Companion 2 Series 2 (Multimedia Speaker System) plugged in. When I was on Windows (I installed Ubuntu on top of it) they worked just fine. My headset (Microsoft LifeChat) work just fine. It is not muted nor are they on low volume.

If Bose Companion 2 require a proprietary driver how would I go about finding an alternative? I checked their website and all the software requires Windows NT+. I have tried reloading ALSA. I have installed Ubuntu Restricted Extras.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Audio Via Speakers?

Mar 7, 2011

i'm currently using ubuntu 10.04 with AsRock p55/pro motherboard (supports bluray audio). I've just hooked up my logitech x-530 5.1 surround sound speakers, but there's no sound. My headphones work fine via the front panel jack. I dont think i've forgotten to plug any cables/pins on the motherboard. I cant install the asrock bios either, because ubuntu can't open the files. I've tried rehooking everything, but nothing seems to work. Could it be that ive forgotten to attach some cables? or is it a program problem?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Sound From USB Speakers / Get That?

Jun 9, 2011

My headset is doing a fine job, using the standard audio connections, but I'd like to be able to use speakers as well. Someone's given me a very basic "soundball" ‒ only visible identification, the word 'goobay' ‒ that's been doing well on another O/S. When I plug it in, it's on speaking terms with the USB port as far as drawing power goes: but doesn't play anything.

The options from Sound preferences don't include anything as obvious as "use USB port/ use audio connectors". Is there an easy answer?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Speakers Not Working With ALSA?

Feb 5, 2010

I 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
