I have a 3 monitor setup with a 9800GT and a 6800GT. The 9800GT is linked to my main monitor (20" viewsonic 1680x1050) and a 40" Toshiba 1080p LCD TV. The 6800GT powers a secondary 1280x1024 dell LCD. I have the SPDIF connector plugged into the 9800GT and in sound preferences Hardware tab I have Digital Stereo (IEC95 output selected, but I get no sound on the TV. PS All three are on separate x-screens.

Prior to the release of the update 11.04 I had sound working perfectly. When the update came out, I lost all sound. I have run through all the forums and threads and websites I can find trying to find a fix, no luck. I have no start up sound, no sound from any program. I installed PulseAudio and it shows that there should be sound, but neither speakers nor headphones have sound coming from them.

I'm getting very frustrated, having dropped a substantial (for me) amount of money trying to get a DVR setup, and Myth TV has punished me every step of the way.At this point, the extreme frustration is that sound *was* working earlier - not going to the TV via HDMI (Which seems like it should be easy but I've yet to get it to work) but I had speakers working - right up to the instant I installed restricted extra's to run mp3's - the instant I got totem to play sound, I completely lost all sound from myth TV, even playing back digital files it has recorded have no sound now.
alsamixer seems to have been used numerous times to fix these issues, but doesn't actually show as a valid package when I check the repository - I installed the gnome version instead, but nothing I do there seems to have any effect.I'm not entirely sure if I need/should be using the patch from the pc5500 cards into the sound card line in - as near as I can tell, that's only for analog signals, and it *was* running happily without it.
As mentioned - sound is fine from everything else, but even playing a recorded file I have no sound playback (Note: I had not recorded anything I can verify *had* sound before). I've gone through various guides, and I got nuthin'. All the actual cards and hardware have every appearance of working.

The card appears under System->Preferences->Sound->Hardware but there are two unusual things (if I remember correctly). 1. The green sound card icon on the left is not shown, it's not gray, there is nothing (but the USB Headset, that works well, doesn't have the icon either so maybe it'ok).
2. From the Profiles dropdown I can only choose from four options (off, analog mono, analog stereo and digital duplex). Before there were more (digital output only, etc.).I checked the levels several times. Another external USB card (SB Xi-Fi 5.1) works well.
I tried to OSS workaround to get sound running but instead my sound card disappeared totally from the system. I restored ALSA (I think) but my sound card is still missing in action. If I could get some help on how to restore that I think I could figure the rest out. I tried the sound problem sticky but I ran into the part where the poster has no solution as well. Any assistance is greatly appreciated and I'm slowly learning how the terminal works.....pretty much what windows does for you but it's more flexible at the same time. I learned on DOS so it's not totally alien....just different commands.
I also found Realtek drivers for the HL 272 which is my sound card for linux but I can't make heads or tails of the instructions to install.....
I have no sound after the Suspend function. I am running OSS4.I usually run "sudo soundoff && sudo soundon" after closing any applications using the sound... however, this is just a temporary solution. I suspend quite a lot, and so doing this over and over can get irritating.

There is a driver associated and it is loaded in the kernel. Alsa even lists it when it reloads, So... I'm new to alsa since sound generally just works on desktop versions, however I am well adjusted with the terminal so feel free to ask for whatever output you need.
I had installed Ubuntu 9.04 yesterday evening and made a dual boot with windows Vista. After installing the Ubuntu i opened update manager and started the updates and after half hour, some of the updates were done but the sound and multimedia package was not installed. Then i played a song and ubuntu asked me to install 2 packages for that and after i made a confirmation to that, it shows that it is unable to install the package.
View 2 Replies View Relatedthis morning after a reboot I made a discover. Clicking on tabs, launching applications, and so on, make annoying and stupid sounds from my speakers. CLICK, BOP, BLAP! Who decided to turn these things on? I'm listening MUSIC, I don't wanna those stupid sounds bother me! Anyway, I was suddendly on System -> Preferences -> Sound and I choosed Sound Theme: NO SOUND. But those annoying sounds are already there. And there's no way to disable them! Is this a BUG or what? Is there something to do?
I also discovered another thing: clicking on items that are at RIGHT of my screen, the sound come from RIGHT. Clicking on center, they come from center. Right, right. So I realize that sounds are stereophonic. And really I can't understand why a software developer choosed to waste his time coding a piece of code to do this, instead of solving the hundred millions of bugs we're affected from YEARS.
I installed 10.10 on my machine a few months ago and everything was great. However, as of one month ago, every so often when I boot up my computer I get no sound in Ubuntu. This is not an easily reproducible error, as far as I can tell, but is a pain to fix. The previous times this happened I messed around, tried some commands shown in other help threads, and then eventually re-adjusted the "Profile" setting for the output devices in the "Sound Preferences" utility, which brought back the sound. I have never conclusively been able to determine the source of the problem, or how to resolve it. Now it is happening again and I have been unable to restore the sound with my primitive methods.
I just came back to the tiny village where I live to be near my workplace, and am missing my family - I just want to eat my dinner and watch some Buzzcocks with sound* - can anyone help please? Ideally I'd like to identify the source of the problem, fix it, and make sure it does not happen again.

I am unable to capture sound from the sound card. I used to be able to do this with ease in SuSE 10.0 and 11.2. Now I have 11.4 and not only do I NOT have access to the sound card's channels (for base, treble, turning the mic on/off, and line in, Analog Capture Boost, etc) but now I can't seem to get at the settings for capturing sound coming from the sound card. I have tried using the Alsa mixer by way of the terminal and went to the Capture section and turned all of the settings all the way up. I didn't see any settings for Capture Boost as was available with 11.2's Alsa mixer GUI. Here's more of my info:

Isn't there ANY GUI sound mixer available that will give me access to all the channels I require? I not only record sound from my sound card, but I also use my mic at times for Skype and I like to be able to turn it off when not in use, rather than unplugging it all the time. I used to be able to do this with 11.2 and 10.0 and I really liked it that way. BTW, the plug for the mic is in the back of the computer and it's not convenient to have to plug/unplug it from there each time. For some apps, it's just a good thing to have all the sound settings done and in place before starting up the app. This I cannot do right now because of the changes to KMix and the Alsa GUI. I really really don't like this at all.
My sister's using Ubuntu 10.0.4 (I'm her tech support.) and for the past several days has been unable to get sound to work on her desktop.

After installing an external sound card, Im having some weird issues. The cards chipset is fully supported by suse, (CM8738) so I dont think thats the problem. Besides, I'm getting sound, but not in some applications. The system's sounds work just fine (login, logout themes) amarok plays without any problems, kaffeine, mplayer they all work flawlessly, in fact I can see the difference in quality between the onboard sound and my new card. However, no web browser is able to play any sound at all, firefox, opera or chrome, nothing,zip. Plus, vlc cant reproduce sound either, nor can smplayer.
I've tried switching channels on and off(muting)in kmixer and in alsamixer, on the console, with no results. I disabled the onboard audio on the bios before installing the new card, however my ati video card has integrated sound, which I cant disable.... I used to get this exact same problem randomly with the onboard sound, but I just had to go to kmixer and turn up the "pcm" channel volume, which was set to 0, and I had sound again on my browser. However this card's pcm channel is at max and turning it up or down affects the whole systems volume, not just the browser's. Is it better to just reinstall the sound system, if so how could I do that.
