Ubuntu Multimedia :: Terminal-based Sound Card Configuration, Server 10.04?
Jun 18, 2010
I debate whether to place this under Server or under Multimedia, because it's both. I have Server 10.04 installed on a Foxconn Intel Atom board. For one of it's duties, I hope to set it up as a jukebox with Subsonic. I plugged in a pair of headphones and set about testing. Long story short, I have no audio from them, although I can get a light hiss when using sound-test. (I will have no GUI on this machine. Everything will be done through terminal or through a browser.)
Using lspci, I have this: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
Using aplay -l, I have this:

Here's the problem of mine: I cannot make my EMU10k1 based sound card (Audigy 2 ZS) to play midi.
What I tried to make it work so far: 1. Install sound fonts: unison.sf2 and FluidR3_GS.sf2 2. Use asfxload to load these soundfonts. 3. Check if they are truly loaded:
I can't get jack working soundcard chipset: EMU10k1X

I am member of audio group. Realtime option unchecked. I also reinstalled ubuntu in a fresh install and the same problem.
I seem to be having sound issues on CentOS 5. When I run the sound card configuration, my sound card is recognized and the test sound plays fine but there is no sound coming out of any applications. This just started today and I have made no changes to my computer or installed any new software.
I have been using Ubuntu as my main OS on my desktops for a couple of years now. Started off with a HP with a Creative Labs XiFi soundcard, but am now using a Dell with a Creative Labs Audigy. Sound worked perfectly on the Dell since a clean install (about 7 months ago). I turned it on a week or so ago, and no sound! Even the little sound indicator in the notification area has gone.
I am setting up a mythtv/xmbc box on Ubuntu 10.10 (natty does not install on my hardware). I have a Sabrent TV PCIRC tuner card, which seems to work fine with the proper card and tuner settings. My on-board sound is HDA-Intel surround sound, which I have configured as analog duplex.
Currently the sound works fine through my speakers plugged into any jack on the back of the PC (two speakers, one jack). I can watch ripped movies and listen to music. The TV tuner is pumping sound from its external jack -- if I hook it up directly to the speakers it works fine. I can feed the Tuner's sound to the line-in on my motherboard, but nothing comes out. In the sound manager, i have the input device selected and the input level shows that the sound is coming in through the connector, and I can test the speakers and they work fine, but they don't seem to be communicating that the sound coming in needs to be pumped out through the speakers.
I have installed xubuntu version 10. My sound card is a Yamaha dS-1S, and seems to be properly configured. Alsa mixer doesn't indicates any error. However, I can't manage to get any sound. I have checked that jacks are correctly plugged.
I have suse 11.4 installed and I wish to replace the on-board sound chip with an add-on sound card. The following are available at my local shop but they cannot advise whether any will work on Linux Suse 11.4.
Anyone know which of these cards will work on Suse 11.4?
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Asus Xonar DS
I encountered this on a 10.3 system but there might be similar problem with the 11 series. Having gone through the business of obtaining config info on this card via pnpdump and subsequently using Yast to configure and install it, I encountered a situation whereby the card was fully functional as far as the "Test Sound" option of Yast was concerned. However, after a reboot, it was not loaded and no sound was possible. Debugging the "alsasound" script, I discovered that the directory /proc/asound was not in place at that time and, therefore, sound was not started.
The solution was to add the module name (snd_sbawe) to /etc/sysconfig/kernel to the parameter "MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT". Seems like Yast did not see a reason to do this itself.
I have a Logitech X-540 5.1 surround sound system for my ubuntu 9.10 64 bit box. When I go into sound from System -> Preferences -> Sound, I set the onboard sound card to 5.1 Analog Output. When I do this, all the of the audio I listen to from Banshee and VLC has a light jingle to it, kind of like constant sleigh bells (they're definitely not supposed to be there.) However, when I change it to anything other than 5.1, say stereo, 5.0, 4.1, or 7.1 (I keep it on 7.1) it works just fine. I'm using ALSA to output sound, could this be the cause of this? I haven't found anyone else with the same problem online, so I'm not really sure what's going on.
I have decided to move my laptop over to openSUSE after a terrible experience with Vista. I have some experience with Ubuntu on a desktop, but I'm a brand new suse user. I installed 11.3 but haven't been able to get any sound out of it.
The laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ45-307tx (more specs at link below) Product Specifications Compaq Presario CQ45-307TX Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (Brazil - English)
Here is the ALSA support url per the instructions in the multimedia sticky [url]
According to HDA Analyzer, my sound card is muted; however, I can't unmute it through HDA Analyzer or anything else. According to alsamixer, everything is unmuted, though. According to the ALSA documentation, there's no 'model' id for my codec -- Conexant 5069 -- so I don't have an option to put in /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf. What can I do to unmute the card???
Since I started to use Suse 11.3, I've been having problems with my sound card. It starts normally and I can use it without further problems, until it randomly stops working. I don't know what causes it to stop working, it just does. Then, if I go to YaST>Hardware>Sound (it shows I have a 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller), press edit then reset, it works again!
I've been doing this for like 4 months, but I'm growing tired of doing it and not being able to just sit back and enjoy music on the amarok. I don't know what should I report, so that's why I only say the sound card identification.
how to install alsa drivers along with Asus xonar dgx sound card. I followed these instructions. URL....And until "Setting up modprobe and kmod support" instructions were clear. I should put something in /etc/modules, but I dont down exactly what.

I just want to know from an out of the box no configuration experience what's the most compatible, hassle free sound card that you can purchase from newegg?I'm building a new AMD type system w/ an 890GX chipset and this is the last component of my build that needs to be verified.
I'd like to buy a sound card for Ubuntu 10.04 x86-64 (or well supported on Linux anyway).Range price from 10 to 60 GBP.I don't need nothing extremely serious, but my USB mic+phones is not working properly and integrated sound card has rubbish in (basically all noisy).
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with an Intel 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller, and no sound output. I have both pulseaudio and ALSA installed. I have already checked with
Code: alsamixer that my sound isnt muted and aplay -l outputs this Code: xxxx@xxxx-ubuntu:~$ aplay -l
I know there are heaps of sound problem threads around here, and I've been through them all and I still can't my sound to work.I have the motherboards onboard audio which works perfectly when I plug in speakers.I want to use my Creative Xfi xtreme audio. When I select it as the output for my sound, it freezes my audio players and firefox when I try.I don't know what the following means, but this is what ople need from other threads.tim@ubuntu:~$ uname -aLinux ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 22:02:19 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

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.
My laptop is Sony VAIO. I installed ubuntu. However i dnt get sound. My sound card is not working i think. How can i install my sound card here in ubuntu.
I recently installed Ubuntu on a 2001 Dell Dimension 4300 desktop, with a Santa Cruz 38FRH Sound Card, and have no sound. Wondering if anyone knows of a driver that will work with this system/card. I haven't been able to find one on-line.
I have a Sony VAIO VGN-FW200 laptop and I wanted to use Audacity or some other application to record sound. However, since there is no sound card, the only option is to use the microphone to record. Is there any way to get a free virtual sound card, or record without using one (and without using the microphone
