Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Setup 5.1 Sound In Fresh 10.10
Apr 2, 2011
'm trying to set up at least 5.1 sound in my fresh ubuntu 10.10. I have stereo sound but failed when trying to set up the rest. I've googled it, read through couple of pages and tried the following:
- I've installed alsa 1.0.24
- I've added the following lines to /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
Code:
default-sample-channels = 6
default-channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,center,lfe
- I've added
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-digout
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
There is no 'Profile' button/menu in Sounds preferences/Hardware.
Code:
$speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6
speaker-test 1.0.24.2
Playback device is plug:surround51
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels

I just installed the latest version, updated it and everything, but I can't get my sound to work. I have an onboard sound card, and a Soundblaster too.
Here are the lspci results:

I'd like to be able to get my Soundblaster to work, cause I plan on dual booting with WinXp, but if the only way is the onboard way, I'm cool with it.

My sound was working fine when I was trying out Ubuntu on a partition, I was so chuffed with it I did a fresh install. I have no sound. VLC, Amarok, Clementine, Audacity, Audacious, every audio player in the Ubuntu Universe doesn't play sound. Obviously it's something 'hardware' or 'driver' connected because it all worked perfectly when I still had Windows as the 'host' partition. I'm not going back to Windows I'll try out OpenSuse or something to see if the sound thing happens on that.

I just installed karmic on my media server. With Jaunty, everything worked fine. I tried an upgrade, and go no sound. After poking around in the forms and trying some solutions still no sound.
So I decided to try a fresh install, again, no sound. I have cheched the obvious, mixer volumes, mute, output device, etc. But I can't seem to get it to work. I poked around in the forms and I've tried many of the solutions, but still no luck.
Here is my lspci output for my sound device...

I have a fresh install of openSUSE 11.3 (gnome) on my Dell Opxiplex380--but no sound... The hardware works because I can swap a Windows SATA HD into the CPU and test it. My alsa-info file is here: [URL]...

Just installed OpenSUSE 11.4, and so far I love everything about it, the only thing that's not working is the sound. I have my sound card setup in YaST -> Sound like I always have, and it recognizes it as M-Audio Delta Audiophile 24/96. I also installed alsa-tools-gui to get Envy24Control for ICE1712 chipsets, and I unmuted all the outputs, and raised the DAC volume. My speakers are on, and all the cables check out. Here is all my multimedia information:

After spending a full day messing with my dual monitors displays-should-not-be-cloned-by-default, I have now come to the sound. The config looks like the 11.3 setup (I alternate partitions from one install to the next), but all I get is silence. KMix won't run. Amrok is silent. "Sound Configuration" gets me to a window showing two cards I know nothing about. I've got an nVIDIA chip on the mother board and the two cards listed are "M2N72-D w/ snd-hda-intel" and "Creative Tech, Ltd. w/ snd-usb-audio". I'd have gone back to 11.3 where this stuff works, but my configuration files were all auto-updated and don't really work any more. I guess I ought to have archived the config files, but I didn't and I'm here now.
lspci shows:

I've never had any problems before,but I just did a fresh install of 10.04.1 on a brand new drive yesterday. I noticed this morning that I have no sound drivers(under the hardware tab of sound preferences, there is nothing listed). I found a thread that had this line to run:
Code:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
And I got:
Code:
Codec: Realtek ALC888
Not sure what to do now though.

I will tell you this: The hard ware is a MSI mother board [AMD flavored] [exact numbers, not known at the moment, but can be recovered]. The audio is built into the mother board. It worked fine with Ubuntu 10.04 I read a few posts here and there, and ran a hardware diagnostic. It came back and said no sound card was installed.

Recently installed Ubuntu 9.1 following an easy how to. The install session went really well, smooth and only had one little speed bump when deciding which drive to install to (running raid and did not want to loose other partition). Like most speed bumps I got passed it. Ran all the updates then decided to start listening to music with Rythmbox Music Player. The sound coming out of my Klipsch Pro Media 4.1 was muffled and sounded like just the subwoofer was on. I checked all connections and they were fine. I tried looking for equalizer but did not find it and then noticed the sound was like a skipping record. So I looked it up and came across some posts that I could not figure out if they were for my problem. Seemed to me they were just leading me in circles.

One of my friends happens to be a Mac user. When he plays music in iTunes on his Mac Book, he can select that the sound should be played from the laptop speakers or from his remote speakers (i.e. his hifi stereo connected to an Airport Extreme wifi access point). If he chooses to play using the remote speakers, iTunes will stream sound via wifi to the Airport Extreme, which will then output to the hifi stereo speakers.
can I do something similar with Ubuntu/Kubuntu?
I have a setup like this: * I have three laptops running Kubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04. * I have a server (fit-PC) running Debian Lenny connected All machines are connected to my local wifi network. The server is connected to some good speakers.
So, what do I need to install/set up on the server and the clients in order to have, say, mplayer, stream sound to the server which will then output it through its sound card?

I am runnig Jessie with the default GNOME. Every thing has been perfectly smooth, but for the audio line in. First you should now the same hardware was working well with Wheezy. Then the hardware card is RealTek ALC887-VD and I am using the analogic part (both for in and out lines).
Below I will write some command results, but first, it seems important to describe the problem. I can hear the audio line in. If I blow in a mic, I definitelly hear the sound of it in the output. With alsamixer I can toggle the line in level and it works fine. By the way, with pavucontrol, it is the same I have access to the line in. but when I look in the Gnome setting for the sound, input, no card is available, then no volume setting is available.
--> as a result, I can't record the sound from the mic. it is sent directly to the output without been taken into account in the system. So no comment on video making, no skype …
On the web, the problem is always "no sound with this card" "No sound after upgrade to Jessie"… but Card is working fine but no seen on a upper level…
Code: Select allroot@Desktop:~# lsmod |grep snd

I've just setup a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze and am trying to configure the firewall. I ran a search for iptables and got the following results:
debserv:~# find / -name iptables
/etc/bash_completion.d/iptables
/sbin/iptables
/usr/share/doc/iptables
[Code]....
When I run an iptables command to add a rule and reboot the new configuration is lost even after I have run the iptables-save command. I can't work out where the iptables config file is/should be stored so I could try editing the file with vi.

I tried Intrepid on this computer a few years back, and remember sweating over my computer for days trying to get the sound to work, before eventually giving up and going back to Windows. Now I figured I'd give it a second go. 100% fresh install, Lucid Lynx. I was hoping maybe the new version would have fixed whatever I was having trouble with before. No such luck. Have checked that nothing is muted, in the tray icon and in alsamixer and in a bunch of others. Have made sure that I'm in all the proper groups.
"aplay -l" gives me:

coming back to Ubuntu after not liking v8, installed 10.10 and upgraded to 11.04 during install process. I have a nvidia GTX 250 running video to a monitor and a tv and wanted to use my green center channel analog out on the back to send audio to the tv. (no room for hdmi, had to use VGA).
I can't enable sound, I've Googled the crap out of this and have found my sound to be nVidia MCP51.
I'm not very Linux savvy, so if you need me to run commands please let me know what they are. Thank you for your assistance.

I'm experiencing no sound problem in F15 fresh installation. I've installed autoten codecs. Video of many formats (avi, flv, mp4) works, but there is no sound inside and mp3/ogg files do not sound as well.
Could you please give me some feedback. I'm using Creative external sound card since I guess my internal sound card is broken. I have two systems on my quite old computer (Windows XP and F15). In Windows the internal audio card does not work while Creative one gives me a sound and I can create/edit music. Besides in F15 neither internal nor external cards do not work.
[Code]...
Then the problem is the following in F15. When I play AVI video, it goes in step with the sound while FLV or MP4 videos produce good quality sound, but do not go in step with it giving very slow response and therefore omitting big parts of video (series of snapshots) and jumping from one snapshot to another.

I did was install MInt 9 on it. Everything is going well except no sound at all. Not even the 'start up chime' of any music/videos. I have the volume buttons working on the laptop and I have checked sound preferences and nothing is muted. I did not dig much further as I have learned with mint and ubuntu that can create problems. This is a fresh install and no sound from the get go. How should I proceed to trouble shoot?

After successfully installing Debian 5.0 stable from a CD, I noticed that there wasn't any sound. I unmuted the volume in Debian itself and there still wasn't any sound! I ran alsaconf and it came up as a VIA VT8233/A/8 sound card.

I'm a Dell Optiplex 380 MT Workstation user which have a Intel HDA Integrated sound controller. I was using Ubuntu 9.10 32 Bits Karmic, and all works fine, but, two days ago I did a fresh install to Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 32 Bits Lucid. In Ubuntu 9.10 I didn't do nothing to make work all features of my workstation, but, in 10.4 LTS the sound don't work. The hardware appear in "Speaker Icon" and in the alsamixer menu, but nothing works. It's happens in the Live CD, Installation in Hard Disc, 32 Bits Version and 64 Bits version.
Here is the output of the command, in Ubuntu 9.10 & Ubuntu 10.4. The only difference that I see is the follow in lspci (bold text):
lspci
Ubuntu 9.10: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Ubuntu 10.4: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
At both version this is the which use (same output):
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0
Codec: Realtek ALC269
I've installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.32-21-generic-pae, reboot system and nothing happens.

I have an HDMI connected monitor with speakers but I don't get any sound after a fresh install. My computer ain't nothing fancy, my specifications can be found in my current board signature.
I have zero experience configuring devices on Linux. It's rather depressing not being able to listen to music.

I am looking to update from 11.1 to 11.3. My question is would it be better to update my current setup, or do a fresh install of 11.3? I was never able to get 11.2 to install no matter what I tried so I gave up on it and went back to my tried and true 11.1. What is the best way for me to get 11.3 on my computer?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an older machine for the sole purpose of using it to run XBMC. Everything was fine until I plugged in some speakers and began having issues. The sound, system wide, is not working. It is onboard sound AC97 (rev 60). I have done some reading on the Internet but have yet to have any success fixing this issue. Not that it should matter, but the speakers are Logitech G51. Below is the output that, if I understand correct, shows the audio device is recognized.

edit: I also checked the BIOS settings to ensure the device isn't disabled. However, the only two options are "auto" and "disabled" has anyone had this issue?
