Ubuntu Multimedia :: Soundcards Disappeared After Update?
Mar 24, 2010
After having a bunch of trouble getting sound to work with 9.10, I finally got a system. After each linux kernel upgrade, I would just need to upgrade Alsa back to the latest version to get it working again.
A couple days ago, I noticed new kernel headers in the update package and was prepared to upgrade Alsa again. However, today when I went to do the upgrade I find that my soundcards are no longer available!
What can I do to get sound working again?
Code:
matt@matt-laptop:~$ cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22.1.
Compiled on Mar 10 2010 for kernel 2.6.31-20-generic (SMP).
matt@matt-laptop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop

I have a problem. I have two soundcards on my system. One is a on-board soundcard and the second is USB M-audio JamLab. When I play sound on any of them, left channel doesn't play

Sound is not working on my new Lenovo B560 laptop with Intel sound card. The sound card appears in the lspci output. But the Preferences->Sound->Hardware menu is empty, not listing any soundcard.ALSA diagnostics are as follows:[URL]When I run "sudo alsa reload" I get the following output:Quote:
[sudo] password for me:
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/me/.gvfs
Output information may be incomplete.

I installed ubuntu 10.04 just after the first release was available.I configured everything - including my printers - and all was working 100% perfectly. Last friday (or perhaps thursday) I did the first update (it was big, ~60megs), and since then I have lost my printers. They are no longer listed on the "Printers" information panel.In fact, I can no longer add printers (the option is grayed out). In fact, the only option I can select is the connect to server. If I try local, I get the error that the server cannot be found.
EDIT: the original printers are networked printers, accessed via an IP address.

Running 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10, just went through update manager (today, April 30, 2010) and downloaded and installed a bunch of stuff. Then after rebooting, no mouse pointer at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm using the control key to locate my mouse pointer and that is very slow and annoying.
Was it something I downloaded?

I have the "publishing" repo enabled. Today I received an update to texlive (to version 2010-37.1) and almost all the documentclasses disappeared! Not even the article documentclass is available!
EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm using openSUSE 11.2 64 bits.

I have a huawei e230 modem that used to work pretty good until this week. It has always been much slower on linux than windows but I am not complaining because windows keep disconnecting ever hour or so, while linux can stay connected over night without problem. The modem is still recognized but when I try to connect it suddenly disappears.

I'm an Ubuntu newbie here, and I recently bought an ASUS N53JF-XE1 laptop, and after a new installation of Ubuntu 10.10, I don't seem to be able to get the sound working (neither from speakers, nor from headphones). I've been searching a lot of places, and with no luck and a lot of frustration, I'm coming here for a possible solution! According to "lspci -v", this is the info for my sound card:
Code:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 1113
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3
Memory at d9c00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Using "aplay -l" gives me this:
Code: aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found... It seems to me that I'm somehow missing the drivers for my sound card. However, I don't know where to find the correct drivers or how to install them. I've been all over the alsa-project website, and I can't find anything useful.

I lost sound after restarting, I had sound, then on my reboot... No sound. I tried to google the problem and ran the common tasks of removing and re-installing "alsa-base" and "pulseaudio" using apt-get in terminal. But after trying all this I have now lost the volume control at the top right of my screen I have no idea what the issue is, in System > Preferences > Sound I get nothing under Hardware, nothing under Input, "Dummy Output" under Output, and nothing special under Applications. Here is the results of commands in terminal which I have commonly see people been asked to do:
Code:
sudo aplay -l
aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found...
Code:
sudo find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd
/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/updates/dkms/snd-hda-codec-idt.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/updates/dkms/snd-hda-codec.ko
[code]....
The only thing I think that could of triggered everything to mess up is some mods I made to to the alsa-base.conf file - What I did to it I can't remember, But I have tried to remove these two lines of code at the end of it, saved it, restarted my computer and still no audio. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) 64Bit Kernel Linux 2.6.35-22-Generic GNOME 2.32.0

am trying to set up machine to record from few sources of sound.My idea is to record one or more channels by one sound card. Later, meybe, add equalizerto alsa and other stuff.Anyway, i am stock on installing five (even two!) Astech AZT2320 soundcards.Butm the beggining...I decided to use Prolian 1500 server (6xIsa/Eisa, 1xIsa/pci, 2xpci. 2x166@P1) - it has many isa ports and isa, good quality, soundcards are cheap.
I installed two of AZT and run System Configuration Tool for P1500. It found one and set it up as schould (even two SB AWE64, later). But no more than one.Linux (2.4, slackware 11 - since grub and compaq uncompatibility problem at kernel+initrd>8mb) won't find more than one AZT2320 (found awe's).My question is: how to ask kernel to fully ignore bios while connecting to isa ports and search for Isa PnP cards?I will be compiling kernel at my own for this system (more recent than one from slackware cd)

I'm using Opensuse 11.2 with the fglrx-driver out of the ati-reposiotry.This fglrx-driver installs a HDA-HDMI-Audio driver using the snd-hda-intel module.My onboard via soundchip uses the same module: snd-hda-intelWith the hdmi-device set to the first device a few apps (like the flash-plugin) use the hdmi-device, which is not connected to any speaker.I can't switch the via-card to the first device in yast, because both cards use the kernel-module. I tried different things on /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf with not results. And it is not possible to put the module on a blacklist, because both cards use it.Is there any way to disable the hdmi-device or to set the via-device to default?Here the output of aplay -l
Code:
Karte 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], Ger�t 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI]
Sub-Ger�te: 1/1

I have a dual boot system: windows xp and suse(10.2). I had to reinstall windows(again). When I tried to use the installer, it kept reseting my partitions to 500gb+ to linux. Nothing I tried would let me put it to the way it was(50gb to linux). Repair install failed. Update wouldn't work. MSwindows in the grub boot menu disappeared. I tried reinstalling suse. The installer blocked any attempt by me to put the partitions back to normal. How do reset the windows and linux partitions(850gb windows, 50gb to suse linux)?

I'm trying to add a webcam and it get's registered nicely. The problem is that after a reboot it registers as card 0, my internal card gets registered as card 1, and I lose all sound.
arecord -l without webcam:
Code:
card 0: default [PnP Audio Device ], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[code]....
C-Media is the built-in soundcard and Philips is the webcam.why the built-in is registered as an usb-device but it is and external sources confirm that this is correct. According to the alsa project wiki the correct way to give two devices using the same module (such as two usb-devices) a specific index is to add something along the following in the main alsa configuration file.
Code:
options snd-usb-audio index=1,2 vid=0x0ccd,0x0d8c pid=0x0028,0x000c
As I use Debian Squeeze 64-bit with the odd package from sid and multimedia repository enabled I found that the correct file to add this in is /etc/modprobe.conf. I therefore added this:
Code:
options snd-usb-audio index=0,1 vid=0d8c,0471 pid=0201,0333
This corresponds to my hardwares' VID and PID. When I reboot I and do arecord -l I get:
Code:
arecord: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
As an alternative I tried to add this snippet to /etc/modprobe.d/sound instead but at boot I get the message that "vid 0d8c" is an invalid parameter. Well, it's not. It adds upp with the output from lsusb and the external source linked to above. Do I need to add that arecord -l tells me I have no soundcard?

I could effortlessly set my output in Sound Preferences to be Analog 5.1. Now I just discovered that this option has disappeared, for no apparent reason. I haven't been messing around with any settings, other than installing updates as they've been rolled out. Would be nice to have 5.1 surround back as an option.

I don't know what I did, or maybe it was some update. I'm running Kubuntu Maverick 64-bit. Kmix in system tray disappeared. Sometimes it shows up after some long time, but I haven't seen it for the last month. Kmix process still runs, and it takes one entire thread of my Intel i3 processor. Killing kmix and restarting it does not change anything. Sound applications work as expected, but I cannot change volume. They work well also when I kill kmix. When I invoke kmix from xterm, I get the following messages:
Code:
QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method KMixApp::
loadCommandLineOptionsForNewInstance()
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
kmix(12181) Mixer::setGlobalMaster: Mixer::setGlobalMaster() card= "PulseAudio::Playback_Devices:1" control= "alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo"
kmix(12181) MixerToolBox::initMixer: Looking for mixers with the : "PulseAudio" driver
kmix(12181) Mixer_PULSE::Mixer_PULSE: Probing for PulseAudio...
<unknown program name>(12180)/: Communication problem with "kmix" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." ".
At the same time, phonom complains that some devices have disappeared (they do not show up in other places anymore):
Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC 95)
Internal Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI)
Internal Audio Analog Surround 5.1
What should I do to get my mixer back?

when I upgraded to xubuntu 9.1 I was pleased to find a mixer control sitting in my notification area.well, yesterday I was doing a little "house cleaning" and removing apps I didn't use. I removed Brasero, Listen and Sound Recorder. I use xfBurn, Banshee and Audacity. now I notice today that I am missing the mixer control that I had like so much. still have xfce4-mixer, but all the controls have been reset. and I can't get it to minimize/close to the notification area

I noticed that the "Bookmarks" menu in Iceweasel was totally empty. I quit IW and started it again, and the problem persisted. I disabled all my addons, restarted again, and they were still gone. I tried to restore them (the backup copies are stored as JSON files in ~/.mozilla) from Bookmarks -> Organize -> Import -> Restore, but I got "unable to process the backup file" for each of the backups.

Recently I installed JACK and Ardour to try out. Later I decided against it and so I uninstalled them. After restarting my computer, I noticed that the sound applet has disappeared from the panel, although the battery and mail icons are still present. There is still sound coming out of my laptop speakers, but it is stuck at whatever volume I had it set on before the last time I shut down. Volume sliders inside Banshee and suchll function, but I cannot change the overall system volume, and my keyboard shortcuts for this have stopped working as well. When I go into System->Preferences->Sound, all I get is a message that says "Waiting for sound system to respond." and nothing happens. I've tried searching around for a solution, but nobody I could find seems to have had aimilar problem, and none of the various other solutions proposed have worked for me. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 by the way.

I'm running Debian Squeeze, and I have a gnome theme called "Moomex" installed. I have had it for a while and it has worked fine, until it suddenly stopped displaying menu scroll arrows (like for long bookmark menus in web browsers). I can still scroll, but in place of the arrows is a solid colored rectangle that clashes with my theme. I went searching and found my theme's arrow image files (see code below). I have no idea how these files are implemented into the theme display, so I don't know how to re-enable them. I tried reinstalling the theme, but it changed nothing. These arrows show up just fine in any other stock theme, and they were fine in this one too until they randomly disappeared.

I have a suspicion that this is easily fixed, however a good google (and this forum) hammering having turned up the fix. So I probably have the wrong search criteria, My Gnome Applet for switching CPU Frequency Scaling has 'disappeared' and is not listed in the the Add to Panel.. list of applets.

Hey you guys. For some reason Ubuntu is no longer mounting blank DVD-Rs after I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.All other discs mount: CD-Rs, audio discs, DVDs, what have you. I have tried to force mount, to no avail. I have tried to detect DVD-Rs with all of my burning programs, like K3b and Brasero, which say "No medium present". I ran this command to get some info about the problem:
dmesg | tail
[ 16.402372] type=1505 audit(1274287095.364:13): operation="profile_load" pid=693 name="/usr/sbin/cupsd"

I've a ATI HD 4290 video-card and I installed the closed drivers of ATI/AMD. Everything worked fine until I updated Ubuntu. Yesterday, I received an automatic update from the Ubuntu-servers and I accepted this update.
But after I updated everything and restart my computer, X.org won't work. When I start my computer, I get this. (Translated: Your monitor, video card and your input devices couldn't be detected correctly. You have to choose manually the correct settings.)

I have no sound after upgrading to 11.04. Sound control panel and test speakers emits no sound. The new music player won't play sounds from music CDs either.I thought I had listened to a music CD since upgrading early last week, but not sure. I definitely don't have sound today even after rebooting.
