Ubuntu Multimedia :: Alsamixer Not Working - ASROCK CORE 100HT
Sep 11, 2010
i just bought a ASROCK core 100ht and installed ubuntu 10.04.
My speakers and headphone works fine but my microphone is not working, a common problem. Usually i solve it through alsamixer. However my Alsamixer shows only " Master PCM S/PDIF Capture " (see pic)! And no microphone option. Does anyone knows what is going on?
I've a problem with my AsRock Core and my audio over HDMI. Trying to get it work now for over 2 months.On Ubuntu 10.04 it was working with the offical Realtek HDA Intel driver for Linux but on Ubuntu 10.10 the driver installation failed.
Code: Linux myMachine 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux aplay -l Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
when I go to software center, it shows the ms core fonts but there is no install button. I have loaded the restricted extras and medibuntu repos. not sure why it is not working. ubuntu version 10.04 btw.
I recently read in a forum that by default the Linux kernel only activates one of two cores in a dual core processor. Searching online gave one option to find out and that was the mpstat command. I therefore ran the command and got the following output.As the result says, it shows only 1 cpu. I was wondering what I could do to activate both cores in my machine, and whether doing so was going to cause me any problems.
I installed a secondary Nvidia GeForce7300GS 256 PCIe video card in an ASROCK ION 330 motherboard. The idea is to provide an S-video output. The interesting bit is that lspci shows only one of the two cards. If I set the ION video adaptor primary in BIOS, then lspci will detect only ION, if I set the PCIe video card then lspci will detect the GeForce 7300GS. I'd like to write my own xorg.conf, but how can I refer to drivers without the pci bus address?
I tried to listen mp3 on in, but it was too silent (of course, I tried to put speakers to be louder).. I switched to winXP (as a second OS) on this computer, and sound volume is ok, so I suppose it's problem in OpenSuse... I have ASROCK N68C-S UCC motherboard with nForce 630a sound chip on it.
My probelem is with alsamixer. I can't record anything; nothing I play back hasany sound. I have alsamixer capture set on mix. I know I recordedin the past with this setting, so I don't know what is happening. I amrecording from the internet.When I adjust the volume on playback in either alsamixer or kmix thevolume settings change on the other as well. when I adjust thevolume setting in capture it doesn't affect each other.If I have Kmix > inpur > capture enabled I can record, but the playbackdoesn't sound good. I would like to figure what is wrong with alsamixer.
My sound keeps going on and off, with some variation but generally about twice a second. I can watch the speaker icon in the system tray with a red x appearing and going away. When I play anything the sound is very broken. I'm running on an ASRock M3A770DE uploaded my ALSA information: [URL]. I've tried a number of things to attempt to correct the problem, but nothing I've tried makes any difference.
This MB does have two separate sound devices, I think. This shows up in YAST/Hardware/Sound with one entry as "ATI Technologies Inc." and the other as "SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)". I've tried disabling each one separately, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. The description of the board says it has "7.1 CH Windows Vista, Premium Level HD Audio (VIA VT1708S Audio Codec)". I don't run Windows except in VMs, so I don't know what happens with this in Windows.
since updating my laptop to 10.04, I can't get any sound out of my headphones. If I plug the jack in, the sound from the loudspeakers turns off, but the headphones stay quiet.
I have run alsamixer and in fact the volume for the headphones is stuck to zero, and it's not possible to increase it.
My hardware config is posted here: [URL]
What I find funny, is that amixer reports that I don't have the capability of regulating the headphone volume:
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0 Capabilities: pswitch penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Mono: Front Left: Playback [on] Front Right: Playback [on]
I have also used the AlsaUpgrade script to get the latest version of alsa, but it still doesn't work.
i read through and spent an hour trying to fix my maudio mobile prei tried uninstalling and reinstalling alsa. i tried getting a new updated also from their site and installing it.and no luck. put the error message i got from trying to run alsamixer in the title.i dont know why it says that there are no alsa drivers when ive tried to install them 2 different ways
In karmic my settings are not retained, have to unmute in sound preferences or open alsamixer and raise master and speaker in Terminal. What is fix to save settings using 9.10 with card below. code...
When i installed Ubuntu, everything worked fine, sound drivers installed automatically and volume was perfect.Then one day as I was talking to a friend on skype, I tried changing the output to speakers from my headset during the call and i didnt get any output. I tried changing a few settings, can't remember which ones exactly until I noticed someone had pulled the audio cable from the back of my PC. I replaced it but I started getting very very low sound.I found out about alsamixer and when I ran it, I found that the volume on that device was turned down, i turned it up and voila! sound back to normal.However, now when I reboot, my sound goes down again. I have tried deleting the asound.state file and running the save command, "sudo alsactl store 0" I think, as someone suggested, but no cigar.
I was having trouble with using my T500's internal microphone, and I figured out that if I run alsamixer in terminal, and if I increase the level of "internal mic," then it works fine. Now the problem is that it seems periodically the setting reverts and I lose the mic volume and I have to re run alsamixer and do the setting again.
Is there any way I can set this setting in KDE, and preserve the setting once it is done?
I've got a Toshiba L650, Debian testing/unstable, KDE4.4.5. The sound worked when I first installed everything (played a movie in dragon player, etc), but shortly thereafter it stopped working. It seems like the hardware is okay (all hardware is recognized, all relevant modules loaded, volume in alsamixer at 100%, the system beep -- set in the BIOS -- works), but I still can't get sound to play. Once or twice, right before KDE shutdown, I could hear the exit sound, but that's it. Last night I exited KDE (without hearing a sound), shutdown kdm, then:
mv $HOME $HOME.backup mkdir $HOME and restarted kdm and kde...still no sound! I created another user, and still no sound!
I have a Creative SoundBlaster live SB0490 USB sound card. Alsamixer only shows a mic channel for this card although it has a line in. Is this because it is not supported or how it is meant to be? I have problems with no audio out on a program which directly accesses the card as hw:1 although it is actually using it and wonder if this is all related. Strangely I can play sound through the card using rythmbox.

After trying to unsuccessfully install OSS4, it seems I've broken ALSA and have no sound. I've uninstalled the oss4 packages and rebooted, and now alsamixer reports "cannot open mixer: no such file or directory". Here's the output of aplay -l: List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices aplay: device_list:244: snd_ctl_pcm_next_device PulseAudio also doesn't find any hardware devices, though it is able to play to the Apple Airport Express down the hall. I'm running 10.04 64-bit on a Thinkpad X61.
I have installed Ubuntu server 10.10 on my new computer which uses AMD Phenom II X6 1090T. But I have noticed that my CPU cores were not able to run at 3.6GHz at any time, even when I only have one CPU-intensive computing job. They are either at 3.2 GHz or 800 MHz, like this
Code:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i "cpu Mhz" cpu MHz: 800.000 cpu MHz: 3200.000 cpu MHz: 3200.000
[code]....
My maximum CPU frequency seems to be locked at 3.2 Ghz:
I am thinking of buying an Asrock Ion 3D 152D D525, 2GB, 320GB, can anyone let me know if it is possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 on this machine or will I have problems with drivers etc.
i am running gigabyte GA-M68M-S2P and AMD sempron 2.7. the problem is when i try to run dual core. it will boot and run for 2mins then it crashes. single core runs perfect.
I have a PC with Fedora Core 5, and only command line available for this PC. I try to use the ALSA sample program to playback a simple sine wave, and I can't get any sound from the audio out. I suspect that the sound card is set as mute. My question is how to unmute the sound card, which is integrated with the VIA82xx mother board.The following is some of the info about the PC and sound card.
Trying to put up my HTPC with Ubuntu 9.10 but I cant get any sound to work. Im using a HDMI cable between the pc and TV. Computer is an Asrock ION HT/BD 330. Also running a 64 bit version of Ubuntu. I have upgraded all I know or think I know what to do but still with no luck. To start of heres my multimedia.
my cat /proc/asound/version is as follow Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.22. Compiled on Dec 17 2009 for kernel 2.6.31-16-generic (SMP).

I'm setting up another xbmc machine. This one is a asrock 330 machine. My other machine is running ubuntu 8.10. I have a script that I use on my other machine, so that when I hit a button on my remote it will kill xbmc if its running and start xbmc if it is not. This script works without any problems on my other pc. When i try and run in from the ssh terminal on the asrock I receive the following log statements.
I should add, i installed ubuntu 9.10 on the asrock. I then installed xbmc using the ppa repositories. So i guess this is the full blown gdm installation with xbmc on top of that. The final goal is to then configure irexec to use this script to start and stop this application on the main gdm desktop.
I'm a beginner to linux configuration and just get by from reading peoples tutorials on how to setup their machines.

Booting up this morning, no problem. But I accidentally let my laptop go into suspend mode, which doesn't work, so I had to force a restart (Suspend mode on my laptop won't allow me to wake it up again). Now, on rebooting, X doesn't work. I usually boot to RL3 then use startx. Now it just flashes the screen then gives me this error -
Code: (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0) (EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap XKB: Failed to compile keymap Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config. Fatal server error: Failed to activate core devices ..... Fatal server error: Failed to activate core devices.
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at [URL] for help. Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. If I su - to root and then do "init 4", I get to xdm, and I can log in. X then starts, but with no sound, wrong keymaps, launchers not working; all sorts of things wrong. If I startx as root I get a normal desktop. I have tried copying root's xinitrc to /home/spoovy, but makes no difference.
