Ubuntu :: Sound System Not Responding After Updating
Sep 17, 2010
I just updated ubuntu a few minutes ago, and now my sound system is not responding. I checked up updates, installed the updates then it told me I had to restart (no big deal, that happens with every other update), so I did. And when my computer booted back up, I noticed my volume icon looked different, so I went to un-mute it, and there was no option to un-mute it. I clicked sound preferences to try and get an idea of what the problem was, and a window appeared that said "waiting for sound system to respond". I've been waiting quite a while now, and it has not responded. My sound was working fine before I updated. Here is a screen shot of the window that appears when I try to enter sound preferences:

I have tried a lot to get sound from my laptop Dell Studio XPS 16 having i7 CPU.
->uname -a
Linux Pakudidi 2.6.31-rc9-7-default #1 SMP 2009-09-08 18:49:15 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
->
-> rpm -qa '*alsa*'
alsa-devel-1.0.21-1.1.x86_64
alsa-tools-devel-1.0.21-2.5.x86_64
[Code]....
Here, "enable_msi=1" was not initially included in sound.conf, I added. After adding I find that volume change buttons are working, but sound is not coming. Mixer channels are all set to active mode and vol is MAX to 100. Mixer channels show two tabs -- one showing HDA_Intel and the other showing HDA_ATI_HDMI. Mic Jack mode is Line_in.

i have a RAM of 1 Gb & swap of 1Gb with fedora11 installed, initially in RAM programme memory uses around 300 Mb & cache uses 600-700 Mb , but after some time it starts using swap memory though my programme memory is still around 300 mb, it keeps on increasing swap memory as a result my system keeps on slowing down & finally when swap memory is 100% system almost stops responding but programme memory is still around 300mb.

I seem to have a problem with sound after upgrading KDE. All multimedia applications (Amarok, xine, vlc) do not produce sound at all. Sounds at startup and notifications have also disappeared. However, when I go to yast -> sound -> play test sound, it works. I tried to update my sound drivers following instructions from here: Alsa-update - openSUSE but it didn't change anything. I also tried to configure the sound output device in Amarok (Configure -> Playback -> Configure Phonon). The only option that it offers is PulseAudio Sound server, and when I press "test", nothing happens (although it is supposed to play a sound).
I have the following packages installed:
alsa-plugins-pulse-1.0.23-28.1.i586
alsa-driver-kmp-default-1.0.23.20100626_2.6.31.12_0.2-1.1.i586

I installed F14 and I have been having some issues with the usage of the ram memory. Here is the situation: while working with firefox, amsn, and VLC, suddenly the system stop responding, I just can manage to check system monitor and the ram is at 89% (of 1GB) and the swap at 50% (of 1.4GB). I can do nothing then I just switch off the machine. After that using the same applications everything is fine. I was using F12.

I am using Ubantu9.04 and before few days I have tried installing amsn.It prompted to dependencies for following packages :
1. farsight2-0.0.17
2. gstreamer-0.10.27
After installing that I have lost sound,and the error was :
"The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plug-ins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured."
aplay -l
gives output - sound card not found
but lspci -v - list the sound card

Fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.2 and I'm having issues with sound. Installed what I needed for various codecs (mp3, dvd etc etc). Sound now plays through applications yet when I go to Control Center and try to adjust the Sounds, I get a dialog box that says "Waiting for Sound System to Respond" and it just hangs there.
This is an old Shuttle box with Nvidia onboard everything. I've selected all pulse and alsa packages and did a reinstall on them to no avail.

Any recommendations for changing or updating the system sounds in Ubuntu? Seriously, love the distro but absolutely cannot stand the stinkin' bongos that go off every time the system boots or I log in.I've tried changing them and have some of the sounds updated in 10.04, but, can't seem to get them all.

But I feel like I should warn everyone that upgrading (with PackageKit) a Kubuntu 9.10 (64-bit) to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, completely breaks the system and makes most everything useless ... In my case it found errors in the upgrading process, and also the bug rapport tools didn't work My 9.10 was only a few weeks old and I have done nothing unusual with the system. (My computer is a Compaq 615 laptop). If there are solutions to repair the system, then I would like 2 know.

Windows won't boot on Grub after I just updated Ubuntu. I tried to follow the solutions to other people who have had similar problems, but I can't get them to work for me. I am assuming you will want to see this code...

Ubuntu tried to update, but some problems occurred. The triangle with an exclamation point in it showed up and I rolled my mouse over it.This is what it says:
"The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selection 'Check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories fail."
I did what it says and this came up:"The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct."
and in the white box below the message:"Failed to fetch url 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

I am running 32 bit 2.6.32-26-generic-pae #47-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 17 16:14:46 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Every time Update Manager updates the Kernel, the kernel and it's associated source code is upgraded, but the LINUX-HEADERS for the associated kernel are not updated.
This is a problem because without the updated linux-headers, my Nvidia drivers fail to recompile and load. A PIA. I then have to go to Synaptic Package Manager, find the appropriate linux-headers for the new kernel version, install it, reboot, and then Nvidia drivers load and function again.
Something is obviously messed up here. I likely caused the problem thus:
On first install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on this machine, it installed with the generic kernel. It saw/found the Nvidia drivers and loaded them OK (I may have had to do some Nvidia installs via Synaptic; I don't recall). My machine has more than 4GB ram, and I noticed it was not using nearly all of it. I researched and found the solution was to switch to the PAE kernel, which I did. Ever since then at every kernel upgrade, the Linux-headers fail to update, and have to be updated manually for Nvidia to function.
Now that I know what the issue is, it's not a big deal. However, Update Manager should know I need the Linux-Headers and upgrade them at every kernel update. How can I insure this happens auto-magically like the rest of this fine and beautiful KickAss OS?

I have a number of systems with Fedora on them, they are connected to a network but are not allowed to connect to the internet. So I am trying to find a solution to patch these systems in a simple way.My solution which i thought of, however, still having a problem with is as follows:
1- Download the files from the "repodata" (e.g. for "update" repository) using a machine that is connected to the internet.
2- Copy these files(e.g. using flash drive) to one on of these Fedora systems into the /var/cache/yum/i386/12/updates (or /var/cache/yum/updates for older versions).
3- Run "yum -C check-update" (-C so it will not try to update and will use the local files). (I am having a problem at this step and I get this message "no such table: packages", the solution that i found on the internet suggested cleaning the cache which is not what i want to do!).
4- After getting the list of needed files I will parse the primary.xml.gz file and grab the actual file names then append the base URL to them and save it into a file.
5- take that file to the online machine and run wget to grab all needed patches.
6- Take the files back to the system and put them in (i think /var/cache/yum/i386/12/updates/packages/) and run "yum -C update" However, now i am having a problem with step 3 and also not sure if step 6 is correct.
So does any of you guys know how to solve this, or if there is a better or easier way to do this??* Keep in mind that those machines are not allowed to connect to the internet or even connect to another machine that is connected, but we still need to patch them and keep them secure.

I have a netbook, on which I installed the netbook remix. It had ran fine until one day, I shut it down while it was updating. Now, on bootup, it will take me to the login screen and then basically freezes. The keyboard and mouse do not work and I cannot login to any profile. I tried a clean reinstall, but it only finds the preferences I have and sends me right back to the login screen.

I have an old RHEL3 machine that we didn't update before it went end of whatever redhat calls it, and now when I run an up2date -l, it says "This system may not be updated until it is associated with a channel." Is there any way to give it a channel so I can get whatever updates we missed before they turned it off?

I was updating slackware-current via slackpkg and while it was downloading/installing latest kernel (and other apps) my battery went off and now the system can't boot. I was thinking to boot through a live cd and through chroot command to re-install all the new packages. Would it work?

I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 X64, and am using ALSA for my sound. I have no trouble with sound: VLC, Adobe's Flash plugin, Java, etc. all work properly. When I run the Gnash standalone player, sound does not work at all.
When I run Gnash in a terminal, I get this:

I have Ubuntu 10.04.1 32bit installed on my flash drive so wherever I go I can have my own mini personal computer, but one problem I'm having is every computer it is run on the next time it's rebooted to the OS on the hard drive it has UTC time instead of the actual time for the timezone you're in that Windows uses. So is their a way I can make Ubuntu not automatically change the clock to what it wants?

New Ubuntu installation with a big problem: no sound.
OS: Ubuntu 10.4.1
Hardware: HP Pavilion Elite e9150t (64 bit)
Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Preliminary checks of sound level settings and obvious dumb stuff but there is still no sound. The problem seems to be that the system does not recognize the existence of the sound card and insists on using alternative audio devices.

I was updating grub and for some reason the system hanged. Going to a tty did not solve any problems. At the end I had to do a hard reboot and came up with the following on the grub boot
reloc offset is out of segment Entering rescue mode grub rescue >
Googling for the above I landed on this page.
[URL]
While I'm going to try the later part, is there anything else I need to know about ?
Didn't have to do much, took the the Squeeze 6.10.a DVD, asked it to run into rescue mode and then did grub-install giving the MBR (hd0) as the place to be. Things worked nice after that.
Upon booting had to run
dpkg --configure -a
and it updated grub to 1.99-5 among other updates. Did not know that Squeeze had a rescue method as well (just like Ubuntu live CDs have). Now just have to wait for Debian to get Live CD/DVD as default

I have always used apt-get to update the system. Yesterday, I was doing some tests and one of them was to try to update the system using the aptitude command, instead. I ran aptitude update and then aptitude safe-ugrade. I thought that wouldn't be a problem, but I was wrong. This morning I found the computer just can't boot.
I get this message:
I have Squeeze in another partition on that computer. I can access the system through the terminal (the graphic is screwed). Is it possible to try my Lenny from this partition? If not, I also have a live cd for Squeeze. Right now I'm on another computer.

I recently installed the x64 rpm of OSS on my Opensuse 11.2 installation (alsa does not have drivers for my lynx card). Sound works beautifully in KDE (login sounds, apps produce sound, etc), EXCEPT for firefox. I can get no sound at all from firefox. I am baffled at why only firefox does not play audio.
System:
OpenSuse 11.2 (it is a pretty fresh install)
OpenSoundSystem 4.2
KDE 4.4 (updated from factory repos)

I am running Fedora F14 on an Intel I3 cpu w/4Gb memory and plenty of disk. I have two displays connected to the Gigabyte Motherboard, one of the HDMI connector, and one on a DVI connector. I run Gnome. When Compiz is enabled things work fine for a while, meaning hours or days. Then the displays will "freeze" to the point where the clock stops updating. The system itself is still running programs, services, and the mouse and keyboard work. The mouse cursor will move around, but nothing can be clicked upon. If a terminal was the open window, typing on the keyboard does not do anything, nor does ctrl-backspace or whatever it is to terminate X windows. The keyboard does allow me to press ctrl-alt-F2 to switch to one of the base consoles. Once there I can type to my hearts content. I can kill off my logged in Gnome session through the console, and I can shutdown the system in a controlled manner.
It is as if all of the windows stop updating. For example, I play music through Amarok. An hour after I stop using the system but letting the music play the screens will do their lockup. The clock will stop, and Amarok will stop updating which song it is playing. It continues to play each song in the playlist, but the Amarok window shows what was playing at the time that the clock stopped. I've also had this happen to me while using Yumex, where it would stop updating the screen while installing programs, but the programs do get installed. With Compiz off I don't have this problem.
The version of Compiz I am using is currently 0.8.6-3. It is running on Gnome 2.32.0-2, with a Linux kernel of 2.6.35.9-64. It has happened with earlier versions of these programs. I am using the graphics processing the Intel i3 chip to the motherboard connectors. The freeze generally happens at some random time while I am not actively using the system. It has happened to me while doing simple things like programming through an IDE. The really strange thing to me is that the cursor will move around on the screen after everything else stops updating.
