Ubuntu :: Sound Gone On Mint?
Apr 28, 2010
my sound stopped working on anything running through the browser (firefox) then shortly after I had no sound at all. I had just installed an update for mint earlier but the loss of sound was not immediate. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling firefox when I noticed no sound on it, but I am not sure if I did it right since it looks so different than the windows install process. I found the mint update packages but didn't immediately notice anything that might be sound (but what do I know)

I installed Mint Isadora on my sons Lappy, and everything went great until I tried to listen to Music in Rythmbox, and I had no sound. I have excuted alsa -l through terminal, but it showed no Device Present, or something to that effect.When broaching the subject in Mint Chat, I had some excellant incite, but still no resolution. It may be a Connexant Audio Driver, which doesn't appear to be very well supported in the Linux Community.

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?

I've recently installed Mint XFCE (Debian based). After activating the backport repos, a lot of things were upgraded, one of them being XFCE, which upgraded to 4.8. After that, I can't listen to songs or hear any kind of audio. Prior to the update, everything was OK. Why do I get only the "dummy output" indication? I've been using Linux for more than three years, so I have some knowledge on the sport. Nevertheless, I've never had such an issue.

I am using the Dynamic Static version of Skype in Mint Debian OS, which uses pulseaudio.
Voice communication works OK but there is no ring sound in or out and test sound is grayed out.

with the help of others (to whom grateful thanks), I've managed to get this distro installed and my PCMCIA Wireless card working without a LAN connection!Result......well it was for me!next big prob is sound.......any sound at all!This command sudo modprobe snd-cs4236 sometimes gives me some, just for the current session, if it don't want to play, it just ignores me!Two main questions,
1) How do I get the attention of the "Alsa Mixer"? (the GUI is normally just blank and may or may not be activated by the above command!)
2) Once I have the attention of the "Alsa mixer", how do I maintain it upon re-boot?
Some one guided me to this post and despite it's age, I appended my plea for help....but I fear it is not the correct place............I just hope I'm now in the right place.url

I started to install Fedora thinking I was just going to place it in the / and /home partitions I already have but the installer only seems to give me the option to use the whole disk.I have 3 / and 3 /home partitions 2 of each are occupied by Linux Mint and Mint KDE so I wanted to use the last / and /home for Fedora.

I was just using the mic and watched it stop working suddenly. I was in the middle of a skype test call when the graphical mixer level died down to zero in the middle of the call. When the test call was played back, the first part sounded fine then the sound got lower until it became inaudible. Since then I can't get any sound from my mic in skype.
Also, the audio input level graphically shown in Sound Preferences shows no fluctuations in sound as it used to before. The input device is enabled. I tried using Sound Recorder to record some sound clips and that worked fine. So the mic is working but Sound Preferences and Skype seem to have the mic level really low. I'm not sure what else to think considering it was working perfectly a few minutes ago. I've tried restarting, but that didn't fix it either.

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.

I bought a Diamond Xtreme Sound 5.1 sound card because I had read online that this card was a good choice with Linux and came with universal driver software. I installed the hardware correctly (as it works with WinXP) but I'm not able to get it working with Ubuntu.

I've been using mint 9 now for a few months and love it (yes i'm a noobie, lol). Every now and then, maybe twice a month, everything freezes and the only thing I can do is to reboot. The question is, is this a somewhat normal thing to happen using Linux? I have used other distros as well and it seems to happen with them too.

I cannot put in a blank dvd or cd and have Mint 9see the drive. When I put in a music cd or some other cd or dvd I burned it sees it just fine. I'm running an amd 64 bit with 4 gb of ram and have been using Mint 9 for about 6 month now without any problems at all including the dvd/cd recorder. I havn't changed anything in the computer so I'm not sure whats going on.

I'm now running ubuntu 9.10 and dual booting with 10.04. I want to check out Mint 9 (all 64 bit btw). I have downloaded Mint 9 64 and burned the ISO at the slowest speed and I've reburned it on many dvd's. When I put the dvd in and restart I can't get it to go to the dvd writer. It is set to be first in the bios and when I put in something else like GParted it works just fine. I'm not sure what the problem could be, perhaps a bad download? When I put in the dvd and go to Computer, the dvd shows up and I can see the Mint 9 iso file. I extracted the iso and here is the md5sum.txt:

I have a dual boot, Ubuntu 9.10 and Lucid 10.04. I want to install Mint 9 over ubuntu 9.10 so I have a dual boot of Mint 9 and lucid. I'm in step 5 of the 8 steps, which is manual install but I cant figure out what to do next. 9.10 is in /dev/sda6 and the swap is /dev/sda7. When I highlight the partition that has 9.10 and click forward I get the message: No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu. I'm a noobie at this and do not know what to do next.

Desktop PC Dual boot XP/Linux Mint Laptop was Dual boot Vista/Linux Mint.
Changed my Laptop set up from dual boot Vista/Linux Mint 8 to Vista/Ubuntu 9.10.
I have two printers one of which (Canon BJC300) is physically connected to the Desktop PC. The other is netorked through a wireless router. Worked find with Samba/Cups in Linux Mint. Can't get it to work with Ubuntu. (Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu).
Desktop PC Name is "pcname"
Desktop PC Workgroup is "pcworkgroup"
Printer Name is "Canon BJC 3000"
Not really but they'll do for the demo.
Set up printer in Ubuntu smb://pcworkgroup/pcname/Canon BJC 3000
Appears to accept it that but doesn't print. Times out with 'printer unaccessible'.
Where do I need to concentrate my efforts?
Are there some permissions I've overlooked. I haven't altered anything on the Desktop PC.

I am running Mint 8 KDE 64-bit edition, which is very nice by the way. Last night I tried to run the upgrade to lucid, but it did not commit any changes, and the version is still listed as Mint 8 Helena, which is based on Karmic. I am guessing the Mint guys have set apt-get to look at the Mint repositories rather than Ubuntu.What do I need to do to bring my system up to version 10.04, including Gnome 2.30 and KDE 4.4.2?

I was reading through the list of features for the new Linux Mint release and I found something that I have been looking for on Ubuntu for a while... The New Backup tool.Is there anyway I can get this on Ubuntu? I mean after all, Linux Mint is built on Ubuntu.

I wish to install an older version of HandBrake, and it's saying something about how the newer version isn't available because of issues with the new versions of GNOME. I've still got Mint 8. So my question is, which version of Ubuntu is Mint 8 based off of? I think it's 9.10, but I just want to be sure.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 laptop 2GB RAM, running Meerkat 32bit. Used 2 previous versions of Ubuntu also.For the past few months, about 75% of the time, on boot up the screen will freeze before I get to the login screen. No key combos (ctrl alt backspace, alt prnt screen, REISUB) work, I have to take out the battery, unplug and restart. It always boots normally the second time, whether I boot normally or attempt repair.I recently installed Linux Mint 10 on dual boot, and the same thing happens with Mint.I connect to the Internet via wireless, not sure if that is significant or not.The problem does not appear immediately after installation, but only after updates and a couple reboots.

Yes, I'm using Mint. It's practically the same as Ubuntu, but the Mint forums have much less people. Hear me out.
I'm dualbooting Win7 and Mint 10, each on their own disk. Mint will not boot. It was working fine a couple days ago, but now only Windows is working.
When I tried to boot Mint recovery mode some of the last lines were code...
I think that it could be a GRUB (GRUB 2) problem because when I booted up this morning GRUB did not have the 5-second timeout it was supposed to have. Minor things like this have happened to me in the past � once, by itself, it changed the default boot to memtest, and I had to change it back with the StartUp-Manager.
I would try using the StartUp-Manager or running sudo grub-mkconfig with my live CD, except that my live CD will not boot. The drive seems to be fine, because I just tested it with The Fellowship of the Ring.
The only thing I have changed recently (to my knowledge) is my CMOS battery, yesterday. Windows is working fine, and it can see the drive that Mint is on (meaning the drive IS connected and does exist!).

I have Mint 10-10 and XP dual and nothing wrong here, works as planned. I have been using Ubuntu 10 for a week on another HD and decided to replace Mint with Ubuntu.
I installed from DVD and it looked okay during install....said it was successfull and please restart computer. I did. And my usual screen came up with either Mint or XP but no Ubuntu.
how to uninstall Mint10 (I'm worried about GRUB if I do) or why didn't Ubuntu replace MInt?

I have a Toshiba satellite l505d-gs6000, it had a duel boot Linux mint and windows(although i have not used windows for over a year on my computer).
It had 4 partitions i shrunk my main windows partition again and made more space, i reformatted /dev/sda3 (windows restore) to ext4 and installed openSUSE, i used the same swap partition. openSUSE removed GNU GRUB and now i can only boot into windows and openSUSE, the partition that mint is installed on is still there (/dev/sda6) but i cannot boot into it. also wireless networking does not work on openSUSE.
