Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Working Very Inconstantly With Videos?
Mar 4, 2010
I just built a new system and installed Kubuntu. I'm having some sound problems, but they are very strange.First sound worked fine out of the box, played a DVD fine, flash video, fine. The only trouble I was having was some static/interference which I assume is from the onboard sound not being the bestThen I went to play a flash video, and I got no sound, just some slight static (from the onboard sound?)ayed a DVD - no soundRestarted, Kubuntu played its opening tune, I heard it, but STILL no DVD sound or flash video sound.Emptying recycle bin sound ok.I played an mp3, music plays fine.
So I figured I'd figure it out later and went to go do something else. Later in the day I opened a flash game, and THERE WAS SOUND. Weird. Opened a DVD, sound. Flash video,sound.Yay! It fixed itself!Later on, I go to play another flash video (after not using anything with sound at all for a bit) and I don't get any sound again! Opened DVD,no soundBut I opened a song and I have sound there still. Kubuntu still plays a sound when loading KDE and emptying the recycle bin.It hasn't moved itself from the no sound stage again yet. I installed about 24 hours ago.

If I try playing ..... or other streaming video I have no sound. It used to work and then my dumbA$$ tinkered with it and now I have restored Flash, which was working flawlessly, don't know where my head was at but it was dark and smelly.
EDIT: I have Ubuntu 9.10 and my sound card is an nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2). I tried to follow along with the instructions in the sticky regarding the
Quote:
Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide
but when it gave me the instruction to select my sound card manufacturer from the drop down menu, I never found it.
FWIW, my speaker are on and they play music, system sounds etc, just no sound for streaming video. Pandora works fine etc. Also, this is isolated to Firefox, as it works fine in Opera.

This is true for .flv, .avi, .mov, and .mp4, at least. This is true in both vlc and movie player. Thumbnails generated from frames in the videos appear correctly in nautilus. Videos play fine in firefox, on ....., but I downloaded one as an .flv and then it had the same problem. I have restricted extras freshly installed. My "Ubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala" system is fully updated. I've found several other forum posts about the same kind of problem, but I couldn't find anything helpful in them (like that the contrast setting might be WAY out of whack, which it wasn't, or that nvidia drivers needed to be updated or reinstalled, which I don't have anyway, etc).

Using Ubuntu 9.04, Firefox 3.5, Flashplugin 10.0.45. Flash videos have no sound in Firefox. In Seamonkey they work nice. Tried unsuccessfully many solutions found here and other websites.

I recently upgraded my Dell laptop from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 and everything seems to be working ok, except that when playing Flash videos in Firefox, I don't hear any sound. Sound works for the system, as I can play videos and music via VLC just fine.

I haven't installed or changed my system in anyway apart from the usual updates and all was fine until about a week ago. I can play videos back through any of the native linux players VLC, Movie player - But I only get black screen with sound - it was working fine and then suddenly - boink? The only program that can play back sound and video now is avidemux
I purged VLC - but I already knew it wouldn't fix it - since it was system wide So I installed VLC through winetricks to check and guess what - it works - all formats Anyone know what the problem could be? or more importantly how to fix it?

I cannot get any sound from the Flash videos available from the CERN LHC site.I followed again the various steps in the sticky from "Oldcpu" which helped me get sound working from other sources and I do not have any trouble with sound from BBC iPlayer which I thought was Flash also. I assume there is sound from CERN as there is a volume control shown on the player.

After a fresh installation of 11.3 KDE, I followed the Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide and I also used the mmcheck to follow every advice and install packages that were recommended.I also spent a few evening this week digging everywhere I could to get sound when playing videos in Firefox without any success. I have the Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 extension installed in Firefox. I also tested in Chrome that also had the flash plugin and I still had no sound.

Using 11.2. Sound configuration tools have no effect. would suspect a hardware problem except that system notifications work. Also amarok is the only app that can play mp3's. Dvd's and videos have no sound. What can I do. Sound worked perfectlty in 11.0.

I was having problems with pulseaudio, which I eventually cleared up. Now sound works on everything except flash videos and games. I have tried to reinstall adobe-flashplugin in synaptic, but I get this:
E: adobe-flashplugin: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
When I try to remove Adobe Flash Plugin 10 in Ubuntu Software Center, I get this:
installArchives() failed: (Reading database ...
(Reading database ... 5%
(Reading database ... 10%

I primarily use Opera, but flash videos do not work in either Opera or Firefox.

I am having problems: videos have sound, but no picture.I'm using a Gigabyte motherboard with integrated ATI video, and I've read before that XBMC (and Ubuntu in general) don't like ATI too much. Is there any hope left to make XBMC work?I've tried the following:1. Fresh Ubuntu installation, default ATI drivers. Result: when starting a video, audio is okay, but no video. Also, visibly slow graphics even while navigating XBMC menus
2. Installed ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX driver via System->Hardware drivers. Result: significantly accelerated menu navigation, but no video still. Note: having no problems watching videos via VLC or Totem Movie Player (after downloading proper codecs)3. Fresh Ubuntu installation, then downloaded and installed ATI's proprietary Linux drivers from ATI's site (ati-driver-installer-10-7-x86.x86_64.run). Result: yippee, I see some video, but wait: no color!! (all videos are in sepia-like mode)
4. Followed these instructions to install the unofficial ATI drivers. Result: total failure, XBMC won't even start, says something about the need to have proper hardware OpenGL acceleration.System info:GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-UD2H AM3 AMD 785G mobo with ATI Radeon HD 4200 onboard graphicsAMD Phenom II X2 550 processor4 gigs of DDR3 RAM Ubuntu Lucid 32 bit (2.6.32-24-generic-pae)

I'm testing a rather old motherboard (PC-Chips A31G) with both Ubutu Karmic and Lucid, everything seems to work fine but video playing.
I tried flv, mp4 and mpg with both mplayer and totem, but I can only get sound with no video, well, not a black screen but a deformed image (I don't attach an image because every attempt to capture the screen gets a black or transparent video).
I already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras package witho no luck.
What I don't understand is that, if I switch to another motherboard (using the same HDD), everything works perfect. I guess it's a problem with the motherboard's video chipset, but would like to confirm this and know whether there is a solution.
I attach lspci output for the A31G motherboard.

running kubuntu 9.10 karmic koala, and my sound settings -at first glance- seem to be in order... a strange thing is occurring, is my machine haunted? my sound works when:
a. the machine boots up
b. files are played in dragon player
c. the machine shuts down
my sound does not work when:
1. i try to play streaming flash videos online (e.g. videos videos show the image but no sound will play)
2. the same goes for vlc media player: images yes, sound no.
3. i use skype *edit: additional problem*
i made no changes, that i know of, to my machine before this started happening. one day everything was working fine and i turned off my machine to go to sleep. the next day, i turn on my machine, and surprise, the sound doesn't work in some instances.

I just got my hands on an MSI E7235-295US and slapped Ubuntu 9.10 on it. So far everything's worked great, but I am beginning to get a bit concerned about my sound quality. The laptop itself has 5 speakers + subwoofer so I should be getting 5.1 sound, if I understand things correctly (the newegg link should provide more details) and when I play anything (music, flash, videos, games, etc...) the sound comes out 'muffled'. Almost as if it is in a concert hall, maybe. I initially wondered if the problem is related to the 5 speakers and if the sound is initially only setup for two. If that is the case, nothing I've done has seemed to made any real difference. I've tried changing the master/pci channels, but it only hides it a little, and doesn't solve the problem.
This seemed to be on the right track, but the laptop is still really new and not listed in the alsa file.

I've been playing around with the latest RC of 11.4. Overall, it works great, but just have 1 issue. No flash videos have audio. Video works just fine. I've tried installing both the flash-player package so that it loads the official 32-bit plugin through ndiswrapper, and tried downloading the Adobe Square 64-bit plugin and installing it. Doesn't make a difference, either way I have working video but not audio. Audio itself on the laptop works with no issues, I listen to Amarok all the time on it. Laptop in question is a Dell Latitude E5500. I've also had Debian Wheezy and Kubuntu 10.10 on here, both had no issues.

Playing a song works at first; then it quits after 1-5 minutes. If you select a different output device, it will work for another 1-5 minutes, but switching back to an already used up device will not play sound. Running 'sudo killall pulseaudio' resets everything and each output device works for another 1-5 minutes. This is on on 9.10.

I've been using Ubuntu for several months now. The sound was working just fine until now. I installed an update I put off that came 9/20/10. I restarted and my sound no longer works. The speakers built into the laptop doesn't work nor do the headphones. I tried going to the preferences to fix it, but my sound card info wasn't there anymore. Dummy Output was in my Output. I've been searching frantically for a solution but found none. I think my driver has been uninstalled some how but I'm not sure. I use the laptop for multimedia purposes, so please respond as soon as possible. I would GREATLY appreciate it. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my Acer Aspire 5532 laptop.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop on a seperate partition, so completely clean install, now I've installed various wireless card drivers and the likes. It all works perfectly. Except for, of course, my sound. I am on a Dell Studio XPS 16, and I've tried google searching but no one has had the same problem it seems.

I installed ubuntu 10.10 a couple weeks ago onto a brand new drive in this old AMD XP3200 system on a soyo motherboard with a VIA 8237. I had sound originally. I notice 2 of my channels on this 5.1 system weren't working. So I came to this thread and tried some of the solutions there. One of them, I think "update", "upgrade" and uninstall, reinstall alsa caused me to lose sound completely, the speaker icon on the top panel disappeared at the same time and cannot be recovered through panel preferences.
Through following some suggestions I found on various threads, It seems ubuntu sees my correct card, has the correct driver installed, I have my user prefs set up to use sound, I don't have anything muted anywhere that I can tell, yet no sound, not even the familiar click of the speakers when booting up. Any suggestions short of reloading from scratch?I do get some errors on some searches, but not really sure what they mean or it they affect anything like the one below:
Code:
pulseaudio -vvv
I: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted

My sound is working, though the problem is a bit difficult to describe. The sound seems to be off, not playing certain particular frequencies. I have gotten the sound to work on Windows, so I do not believe it is a hardware problem.
I do not understand the KDE sound system well enough to know where to start. I have tried removing PulseAudio to use ALSA, but the problem still seems to be there. I believe I picked the correct driver for ALSA, also with no effect. I tried Xine instead of GStreamer

I recently noticed that when I boot up ubuntu it no longer plays the cool startup music. I think it may have something to do with me removing these packages in synaptic package manager because they were interferring with my sound in total annihilation for spring. Most of the packages below were reinstalled because my sound icon disappeared and I had to reinstall them. But are any one of these packages responsible for the ubuntu boot up sound?
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
libcanberra-pulse
pulseaudio
pulseaudio-esound-compat
