Upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 using standard Update Manager procedure. Now I get a sound (thump) in my speakers for almost every button click. The sound theme in System / Preferences / Sound is "No sounds". I would like to completely disable any "activity" sounds from the OS, but nothing works.

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade
there is no sound, neither from vlc or from audacity.
i've turned up the volumes in both the mixer and the alsamixer.
I know that beta is unstable, but I didn't expect my sound to quit working. Especially because it was an upgrade and not a clean install. On another thread I saw that "pulseaudio -k" but it did nothing for me. I don't even know if my sound card is being detected.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOnce again, after upgrade - NO SOUND. Read all the various forum attempts at getting sound working. Tried them. Still doesn't work. Has been an ongoing problem after each release. Pulseausdio has been removed but still seems to be there somehow, as in, when running alsamixer, the following is output:
alsamixer
ALSA lib pulse.c:229pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused
cannot open mixer: Connection refused
or, aplay -l, produces:
aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
so, I guess that's the problem. But how do you get it to recognise the card? The only thing that has been done since upgrading was to remove pulseaudio which wasn't part of the prior install in anycase but somehow injected itself during the upgrade.
I am relatively new to the world of Ubuntu and I know others have had very similar problems but I have yet to find a solution. I recently upgraded to 10.4 and lost my sound. I tried installing and uninstalling PulseAudio and various ALSA utilities but I have not been able to resolve my issue. Strangely, when I try to play an mp3 in an application like VLC and then open up the PulseAudio volume control, I can see a playback bar as if an audio signal is going out. I am not, however, able to hear any sound via internal speaker, analog headphones, usb headset, etc. I ran aplay -l and got the following result:

how to figure out why my sound cut out when I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.10.
I tried 10.10 before and remember that for some reason it began muted. Well, that's not the problem this time.
I went to sound in preferences and didn't see anything alarming or informing.
Nevertheless, I lack sound and don't know how to do figure out what I'm missing.
I have no sound after upgrading to 11.04. Sound control panel and test speakers emits no sound. The new music player won't play sounds from music CDs either.
I thought I had listened to a music CD since upgrading early last week, but not sure. I definitely don't have sound today even after rebooting.
I am using linux mint 9 with kernel 2.6.32.29. I upgraded from alsa 1.0.23 to 1.0.24 using the alsa upgrade script. Sound was working just fine before on my Asus Xonar DS, However, my nvidia geforce 430's hdmi audio card is not recognized in 1.0.23 but it is in 1.0.24. Though the card is detected, I have no sound on either cards now.

When i started a new song there was some strange plucking sounds, can most be understood as the sound a old LP-player makes when there is dust on the record. Not much but more than enough that I can hear it and wish it wasn't there. After some time of playing the songs sometimes was totally distorted by "disturbance" and it became impossible to even hear that there was a song there. Like when you are out of reception of a radio channel.
I did some research and upgraded to the wine1.2 with "custom" pulsaudio drivers. Then the total distortion was gone, but the, always present, plocking sound still was there. I have tested adjusting PCM volume, have some volume on mono, upgrading to newer pulsaudio drivers. The same problem is when ever my dear computer i producing sound. Spotify,firefox, rythmbox and mplayer. I can't see any answers after spending some time on google. I hoped i could fix this without deleting and removing pulsaudio.
The sound is an onboard Realtek AC97 chip on my motherboard. It worked absolutely fine on my 9.04 Jaunty setup. My machine is dual boot with Windows XP and the sound is fine on XP, so it's not a hardware issue. Karmic seems to think there is no audio device present at all, which is obviously not the case.This is an AMD 64-bit machine running the x64 edition, although I doubt that has anything to with the problem. Everthing else in the installation went perfectly and the GNOME desktop seems significantly quicker too.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was a happy user before I upgraded to KDE 4.4 in my Kubuntu 9.10. Basically I added ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports to sources list as it's said here: [URL]. After I refreshed the packages list, there appeared equally big two lists with new packages, normal packages and so named as "blocked", if I remember correctly. Anyway, I selected normal ones and did update.
Now every boot I get this kind of warnings:
No sound in any application, except in Multimedia settings:
Here I hear music if I select a device and press Test.
I decided to do another test, I installed Kubuntu 9.10 in VMware and upgraded to KDE 4.4, the same problem. I don't want to reinstall the whole system.
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and my sound is not working. I have a gateway p-6860FX. i've had this trouble since 9.04 and also in 9.10, but I worked around it by adding the following to my alsa-base.conf with

Sound worked fine after that, but it doesn't work with 10.04
Here are the results of aplay -L

I went in to alsamixer and turned everything up. it didn't work.
Just upgraded to Karmic using the update manger. After the update, sound is no longer working. When I go to system>preferences>sounds and go to the Hardware tab it says there are no devices to configure.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI upgraded successfully last night from Hardy Heron to Lucid Lynx, but have no sound now. After searching around I can see that this is a fairly common problem. But none of the proposed solutions that work for other people have yet worked for me.
If I type 'alsamixer' at the command line, everything looks fine. There are no 'MM's indicating something being muted. I tried removing and reinstalling alsamixer and pulseaudio with no success. Edited lines 45 and 46 of /etc/pulse/default.pa with no luck.
Sound does not work in my newly installed 10.04 (why I upgraded I will never know - I'm back to the same slowness problems with my ATI Radeon card as well). This time, however, I seemingly can't use my previous lazy approach of just switching on Digital support - it still won't work. Any suggestions - I'm really bad with Linux - and I have tried a couple of suggestions (I haven't recompiled alsa) - none of it will work.
Below is the output from an aplay -l command...
I gots to have my music - I might as well be using Windows if I have no music.

I upgraded to Lucid a week or two ago. Sound has worked fine, then suddenly, yesterday, I have no sound for any application. The Gnome sound applet shows the volume normally, and have the Mute All option greyed out (not selectable). Nothing stands out as wrong or unusual under sound preferences, and I didn't change anything, although I did recently install a set of updates. There is no physical mute button on this laptop. IT is not account-specific, there are no sound effects even before you log in.
As well, since the upgrade I have intermittently not had the networking icon in the notification area appear, it is covered over by a fragment of some other graphic. It is most usable with the Human these, it is completely unusable with any of the new themes. Anyone know a fix for either of these two issues, especially the first?
Finding Lucid extremely flaky, particularly the signature themes. I like some aspects of it, such as the fact the wireless button on my laptop works now, but overall, not an impressive effort - someone whose first introduction to Ubuntu is Lucid and sees that the notification area doesn't even work correctly is not likely to stick around.
I upgraded my desktop from 9.10 to 10.04 and I have no sound.
When I boot from the 10.04 livecd, sound works fine.
gnome-volume-control does not get loaded into the taskbar, when I run it from the console there is nothing listed under hardware.
I also tried creating a fresh new user account, no sound on that either but gnome-volume-control does get loaded into taskbar but still nothing under hardware.
aplay -l does list sound devices ...

After upgrade today, I cannot record sound. All the equipment works fine when I boot into Windoze...
Running Audacity from a terminal gives me this message as it starts:
Code:
Expression 'stream->capture.pcm' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 3653
Google has thrown up some old posts (some here) - none really relevant and a hint on a mailing list that it may be a bug...

I've upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and everything works fine but. I use skype (2.1.0.81) a lot and I can make calls and receive them as normal with normal mic/sound levels. When I get a notification the sound is so faint its almost inaudible. Clicking "Test sound" in notifications has the same effect - almost inaudible sounds (I thought they were not working at all until I turned the volume right up).
I tried completely removing and reinstalling skype through synaptic to no avail. All the Sound devices in skype are set to "PulseAudio Server (local)" - there are no other options coming up. "Make a test call" works fine and the skype sounds are all at the expected level. Real calls are fine too, so long as I notice them and respond. "Make a test sound" is silent.
Likewise, testing the event in Notifications plays the sound really quietly. Allocating different sounds makes no difference - the level is still really low so I can't work around the problem that way. Anyone know how I can correct the ringer volume without blowing out my eardrums on an actual call?
that said on to my problem. I have a Hauppauge hvr 950-q that I had been using with 10.04(64-bit) since it came out with no issues at all(non that i could not fix anyways) had mythtv set up using mythubuntu and all was great. I upgraded to 10.10(64-bit) last night and cannot get sound to work during live tv. If i watch an old recording the sound works. Sound also works everywhere else on my system. Before the upgrade the audio setting in the backend configuration of the tv card was set to /dev/dsp2 this no longer works. if i put it at that(i have to enter it manually) then i have no sound and if i try to change Channel the tv feed crashes.
I have tried /dev/dsp2,1 i even tried /dev/snd/contolC1 wich i got from browsing around in /dev and found this to point to my 950-q all with same results.If i use alsa:default as the audio device in the backend i still get no sound but i am at least able to change channel.everything works in TVTime.i am simply at a loss. My next step was going to be a clean install of 10.10 but i thought i would check here before taking such a drastic step.
after upgrade my ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 mp3's and videos play with lag and use too much system source.
i tested totem vlc and mplayer and no luck.
I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and lost headphone sound. My external speakers are working fine though.
I've tried Pulse Audio and Alsa Mixer to no avail. code...
just used the alsa upgrade script in 10.10 under headers 2.6.35-22 and after a reboot i have no sound. no mixer detects any devices.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI used to listen music and watch films with my with my laptop but, after an upgrade (to 10.04 lucid) it is impossible to hear any sounds. The sound card is detected and it works since making the laptop boot from live CD (of ubuntu 10.10) I get sounds without problems. I tried to reinstall alsa-base and alsa-utils with no results. Everything looks OK, but the sound! (It's not muted!)
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe sound stopped working, supposedly after upgrade and reboot (although the last upgrade was Gimp updates, as far as I remember). I rebooted the computer, then tried to play a sound and nothing came out of the speakers. The sound card (CA0106 Soundblaster) is detected, I can still adjust sound level and all the settings, but no sound is produced.
I tried running ALSA in terminal (as suggested by some comments in threads that I googled) and un-muting the speakers, but they were already un-muted.
I've also updated the Kernel to 2.6.39 just to see if this is a Kernel bug and if this might help, but it didn't. Also not a hardware problem (works in Windows).
Alien Arena is seriously awesome in the latest incarnation. Unfortunately sound was disabled after the upgrade. Running from terminal provides the following information:
------- sound initialization -------
dlopen() on libopenal.so.1 failed
Sound failed: Unable to start OpenAL.
Game will continue without sound.
That error message is actually quite good - the first line is the technical problem, the second is what it means, and the last is the result of the problem. Errors involving a "lib" usually mean the lib is not installed (or broken). OpenAL is a sophisticated free software audio API. Using this system is A Good Thing. A quick check in synaptic shows that the libraries are not installed.
