The problem is, when I connect the headphones to the from panel audio jack, only right headphone works. Left one has no sound. But if I connect same to the main jack at the back of the machine, everything works fine. Both headphones have sound.
I have openSUSE 11.4 KDE version (64-bit) on a desktop PC. My sound card is ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 (PCI-E). I am brand-new to the Linux experience. I get audio out to my speakers which are connected to the jacks of the rear I/O panel of my PC. I do not however get audio out to my headphones which are connected to the jack in the front panel. I know that the headphones work fine because they do so when I boot up in Windows XP. Here is what I discovered so far: KMix does not show that I have a front panel audio channel. But when I run AlsaMixer it does show that I have such channel and, upon manually turning the volume on, I do have sound out to the headphones.
Therefore, I deduct that I have some sort of configuration problem with KMix and would like to fix it as I prefer to use the GUI interface instead of the AlsaMixer one. It's just a matter of preference! I would like to troubleshoot things using the Audio Troubleshooting guide (SDB:Audio troubleshooting - openSUSE) but I notice that openSUSE's version 11.4 is not mentioned in it. Should I follow the instructions for version 11.3 or wait for an updated guide?
I`m new to Ubuntu and Linux as all. First of all i have a Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop. I have a very strange problem, after the initial installation of Ubuntu 10.10 there were no problems plugging in my headphones or 2.1 sound system and listening to music. After a couple of days when trying to plug in my 2.1 sound system I noticed that there is no sound coming out of them, but the laptop speakers were working fine. Tested the sound system with another laptop and they worked well. I have checked all the settings and everything seems fine. I`m puzzled. I have the system dual boot with Win 7 if that makes any difference.
I am running Karmic (9.10) on an MSI U120 Wind. I dislike netbook-remix but that is beside the point.
Last night I made the biggest mistake of my life which is causing a loss of still counting hours. I decided to do an update, due to having enough bandwidth, and security updates to download.
So it finished, and I went to sleep.
This morning I went to plug in my speakers to the audio jack so I can listen to music loud, and it was all distorted. I changed al 8 or 9 volume controls and nothing. I unplugged the wire from the audio jack, and the sound is perfect on my netbook's speakers.
I have tried different wires, speakers, editing config files, removing and purging related packages, and nothing works...
I have been google-ing for hours and everyone seems to have the same problem, but all of the supposed fixes do not work for me...
I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 recently to find that my computer will not play mp3 files in Rythmbox, Amarok, or Kaffeine media players. All of the FLAC files I have ripped from CDs work, but no mp3 files work. I have downloaded and installed the ubuntu restricted codecs from Synaptic as well as the codecs prompted by Rythmbox rebooted, and still no result.Like I said, the .FLACs play fine.On another note, no sound is being transmitted to my earbuds. The only sound will come from the laptop speakers.
I'm running a Dell inspiron 1501 laptop with a sigmatel stac 9200 sound chipset.
When I had ubuntu 9.04, I had sound no problem and when I upgraded to 9.10 I had sound for a little bit. Now the only way I get sound off my laptop is by plugging in my headphones.
I've tried trouble shooting this a number of ways using the following links as the latest:
I installed Fedora 14 on a Toshiba Satellite L650-18X laptop. The on board speakers work fine but when I try to connect external headphones, the sound still comes from the on board speakers and not from the connected headphones. Also the microphone jack doesn't work.
As I searched the web for possible solutions I think the problem is related to the Alsa sound driver. I kindly ask if someone with experience could share details regarding the Alsa configuration for this particular sound driver in Fedora 14 in order to solve this issue.
For users whom wish to install the wireless driver on the Toshiba Satellite L650-18X, Broadcom offers great information on it's official site

Here are the steps the user needs to perform in a terminal window in order to install the wireless driver :
I'm a complete Linux newbie - only installed it yesterday, and have spent hours trying to get my M-Audio Firewire Solo sound card to work. I can hear nothing at all. I know nothing of Linux, but am willing to learn. While I learn though, it would be nice to listen to a little Hall & Oates. I've got to the stage where the error messages I'm receiving don't bring up any results on Google. Here's what things look like (watch out, big pic):
Those sample rate errors appear in the terminal when I start ffado-mixer. I'm running JACK with everything set as I think it's supposed to be, except that 'Realtime' is unchecked.If I start JACK running with 'Realtime' checked, it tries to launch and fails, saying "JACK is running in realtime mode, but you are not allowed to use realtime scheduling. After applying these changes, please re-login in order for them to take effect". I don't know what more it wants me to do - i've already added
to /etc/security/limits.conf, and selected the 2.6.31-11-rt kernel on GRUB bootup. I'm a member of 'audio' and 'disk' groups like'm supposed to be. Have I not got the connections right in JACK? Have I got some sample rate settings wrong somewhere?I'm not even bothered about low latency with the realtime kernel right now, I just want to hear some sound
I have small sound issue - no sound on front panel and headphones are greyed out in alsamixer. This issue appeared after i installed new video card (New video card also adds a pseudo audio device "HDA Nvidia" (without any controls in alsamixer).
I noticed that any CPU load, while using Rakarrack guitar effects, causes the sound to distort and it generates loads of noise. This actually happens when using anything while running Jack audio. If I'm recording, I get tons of noise on the recorded track when I play it back (and live when monitoring) because any CPU usage seems to interfere with the signals. It even does it live in the playthrough (monnitor).
I realized it had to do with CPU usage when I noticed a pattern with the noise correlating to the plasma CPU monitor widget I had running originally. The noise refreshed when the monitor did. Since then, I noticed that anything that puts a slight load on the system will cause this disruption (even moving a window around, or anything in the background processes).
Anyone who is experienced with Jack audio, and possibly rakarrack as well, know the cause to this? I figured loading a low resource WM and eliminating unneeded processes can help but it doesn't since the recording program itself, while recording, is enough to cause this problem. (I know this because playing the guitar in Rakarrack, without recording and just using Jack to run the sound to the speakers, doesn't have constant noise but when recording, there is a constant noise)
I have installed Fedora 13 on my laptop, but there is something wrong with the sound。It just comes from both the computer and the headphone. I have installed alsa, you can see as follows:
I've got an Acer Aspire 5101 with Natty on it and everything works so far, but I can't start Muse. It says: "Muse failed to find a jack audio server". At the bottom it also says: "...if Jack was started check if it was started as the same user as Muse". This might be the issue. But how can I check this? BTW: Jackd has been installed and I am a Member of the Audio Group.
I am new to Ubuntu and don't know how to fix this. I got this Notebook for free, because my Brother wanted to dispose it as it didn't worked properly after he reinstalled xp. Only the dvd-drive is broken, the rest is in really good condition for such an old thing. After a lot of trial and error I could finally install Natty from USB.
when my headphones are plugged into my computer, the sound comes from both the speakers AND the headphones. I just want the sound from the headphones if they are plugged in.
I'm having an issue with my computer and the headphones. When I plug in the headphones into the headphone jack, the sound plays through the headphones but it also plays through the speakers as well at the same time. I've attempted to play around with the sound settings to see if I can get this issue resolved but I have not been able too. Computer specifications are in my signature.
After installing I was not able to get many of the audio programmes to work. After some reading, I realised that this was probably due to jack not starting.
I was unable to get jack to start normally but have been able to get it started with the playback only option selected. Programmes that use jack now work, however there is no sound once jack has been started. The sound does work in other programs when jack is not started. Strangely, I only have to open qjackctl for the sound to stop, and jack is not even started. Initially I thought these problems were due to my sound card not being supported, but I believe that alsa support was added for the via 1708 codec at some point. I found that support had been added in a document showing the changes between alsa versions; however I cannot find the exact model listed as a supported sound card on the alsa site.
I believe that altering jack settings could fix the problem, as i have been able to get audio to work in hydrogen by selecting plughw:0 but there is still no sound in other programs. I have tried altering many other settings but to no avail, however I do not really understand the meaning of the settings that i am adjusting.
Does anyone know what settings to adjust or know something else that might fix this problem so that sound works once jack has been started?
Also, would programmes that use jack such as audacity, hydrogen, and ardour work with pulseaudio as the main sound server if I were to install normal ubuntu - it might be worth seeing if my soundcard works with the puleaudio sound server
if this helps, here is the error message received when jack does not start when the normal duplex option is selected.
21:24:04.867 Patchbay deactivated. 21:24:04.868 Statistics reset. 21:24:04.886 ALSA connection change. Cannot connect to server socket err = Connection refused
[Code].....
also, when i open alsamixer in the terminal for some reason the headphone part is greyed out, even when the sound is working before qjackctl is opened.
I was wondering whether there is a comfortable small program that lets me manually switch on/off both my internal lapotop speakers as well as external speakers (connected via headphone jack), and control their respective volumes.I had this problem of the headphone jack not muting my internal speakers (solved), which had me realize it would be nice to be able to manually control that, enabling me to use it as a kind of surround.
I'm rather new to Ubuntu (using 10.04.1), but if there's an easy way to control this via terminal, I'd be, of course, very interested in that as well.
I recently bought a set of 2.1 speakers, all is fine. I like to listen to my DAB radio through them. When I boot up, (runlevel 3), sound is there via the mic/line-in jack, but as soon as KDE starts, the sound cuts. I can get it back by:~>alsamixerand then F6 and then scroll to mic, switching to ON and slider up to full and then mic boost up to 65% or so.Can I tell something in KDE to default to mic/line-in on?kmix does not give the full picture I see in other's posts, like here:ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hostingjust a single slider under each tab, like this:
I have installed Fedora 10-x86_64. I was happy and content with the distribution. Earlier, I found that there is no sound on my headphone's jack where as the normal sound output from my laptops's speakers is OK. I fiddled with the available mixers but couldnt get anything. There seem to be 5 different mixers (HDA, ALSA, OSS), 3 for the playback and 2 for the capture.
I am using an acer 4530 laptop. It has a nvidia Nforce MCP77 chipset. and the o/p lsmod| grep snd :
I have sound on my main speakers and I can control volume from the desktop's icon tray volume control on the screen.However, my headphones were working just fine until all of a sudden they just stopped working. I tried other headphones but no change.Also, my volume control on my keyboard suddenly stopped working too.Any ideas how I can get the headphones and keyboard volume control working again?
My usb sound card has been identified by alsamixer, however it won't make any sound when i put headphones in it. The volume is up, I know the sound card works.
I have some problem with my sound settings. I only get sound through the internal speakers of my notebook, not through the headset.Does anyone know how I can fix this?My notebook is an Asus K52f with Ubuntu 10.10.
whenever I try and start it, it spits this at me: p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } Could not connect to JACK server as client. - Overall operation failed. - Unable to connect to server. Please check the messages window for more info.its all greek to me I fiddled with some basic settings, but to no avail, I'm running a dell dimension 9150 with a stock soundcard. To be honest, I don't know what Jack is, but it opens when I open DJplay, so I'm guessing its like Asio4all when running deckadance?
Here's the problem: My notebook's right speaker makes an awful sound when playing music. I want to configure the sound so as to get MONO and balanced to the left when I use the built-in speakers, and STEREO w/o balance when and plug a jack, ie: earplugs.
Does anyone have any experience of forwarding audio from Ubuntu to Windows 7 x64 via JACK? I'm struggling to find any useful documentation. I've tried to accomplish the same using a Pulseaudio server, which is better documented but the windows binaries are years old and as far as I can tell can't be made to work without disabling IPv6. Any other ways to forward audio would also be welcome. Bandwidth isn't really an issue as it's VM to VM on the same machine.
I try it for the first time. Befor I changed to linux I used MS Windows 7. There I worked much with SonyVegas for video and Adobe Auditon for music. Yesterday I searched for alternatives under Linux for Audition. And I found much. The screen shots says, that they look similar to Auditon. I downloaded them and installed them. But they doesn't work. One of them say they can't connect to Jack. Some of them say nothing, and so they don't record my line in/microphone input. After a few seconds I of search, I knew that all of these programs uses jack for Audio. I installed it, but the situation wasn't better. Then I found a wiki, and try that: first start jack, than start the program. So I do. But there i get a few error messages: At first I should copy to lines to the file lines.conf. I do it. Then I should be member of the audio group. I do that.
I have had no problems whatsoever with audio in ubuntu 10.10. Both input and output have worked great, but alas now there's a problem.
I recently installed ardour2 with jack (using apt-get) but for some reason, anytime I start ardour2 (which starts jack implicitly) all audio stops on the whole computer. That is my computer goes silent. As soon as I exit ardour2 audio resumes.
Also, although this will probably resolve itself when I resolve the other problem, when exporting a project to audio file from ardour2 it exports silence for the entire duration, even when ardour2 is exited and audio has resumed.
I'm no linux novice, so I'm not afraid of command line solutions (I prefer them actually) however I know nothing about jack or audio editing in linux whatsoever, so if you could be very specific about jack terminology that would be great.
I'm looking for configuring a Ubuntu box, we need to capture alsa output into ffmpeg with jack or OSS but not pulseaudio, as that tends to glitch badly. We have things working, but we are sort of hacking around in the dark, we play music, but as we aren't linux audio experts ourselves.
