View 3 RepliesPlaying a song works at first; then it quits after 1-5 minutes. If you select a different output device, it will work for another 1-5 minutes, but switching back to an already used up device will not play sound. Running 'sudo killall pulseaudio' resets everything and each output device works for another 1-5 minutes. This is on on 9.10.

The sound stopped working on my Macbook Pro 1,1. It was working fine before, and I can't think of any changes I made that would make it stop working. I know it's not a hardware problem because the Apple sound plays when I turn on the computer. Everything is unmuted in ALSA Mixer. None of the hardware options in Sound Preferences produce sound. Plugging in headphones or speakers does not solve the problem. I'm using 10.10.One curiosity: Whenever I do something that would normally cause sound to play, the optical audio red light in the headphone jack turns on, but no sound plays.
View 2 Replies View Relatedmy computer after being updated a few months back lost its ability to make noise. the sound and volume settings see no input (i have an internal mic) or out put (speakers) hardware. they see no sound hardware at all. im running this on a sager so im assuming its an intel HDA audio thing. is there a package where i could report this bug?

Just installed an Asus Xonar DS sound card. Installed the latest ALSA 1.0.23 drivers. The new drivers see my sound card just fine:

however If i killall pulseaudio or kill -9 PID of pulseaudio, pulse audio starts again and sound is working. I do not know every time when my sound goes off to kill the pulseaudio.

WHAT TO DO?
My sound card: VIA Audio HD
In volume manager is sound and I can make volume 1-100 but not working on ..... or any song or anything.
I have a desktop pc which is running Ubuntu 9.10, and for some apparent reason I am not getting sound from my sound card. No error message is coming from o/s, I have checked the sound card with head phones, still no sound.Now, I have checked my sound card, because on the same desktop pc, I have another hard drive, which runs Windows XP Professional, and my sound card works perfectly! Please note that I have two hard drives on my pc, one for Ubuntu and the other for XP. So, there is no conflict on operating systems.Does anyone know how I can resolve my sound problem - my sound card is a Creative Audigy 2 Sound Blaster.

I think it may have something to do with me removing these packages in synaptic package manager because they were interferring with my sound in total annihilation for spring. Most of the packages below were reinstalled because my sound icon disappeared and I had to reinstall them. But are any one of these packages responsible for the ubuntu boot up sound?
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
libcanberra-pulse

I already posted a topic about this but i got wrongly interpreted as someone gave me a link to a topic to restore your audio fully, which isn't necessairy, as I AM able to play music through rythmbox, on dvd's, on ........ but not on games.
I have a conexant Hi-Def audio on a HP laptop here, and when i typed in the code 'aplay -l' in the terminal, i got this:

As you can see my conexantaudio driver is listed, but it does not seem to work with games.. I have 9.10 and in 9.04 it did work..
I have just installed 9.10, unfortunately sound is not working. I have an 275 gtx video card that is connected via HDMI cable. The spdif is connected via the motherboard and video card.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using Ubuntu for several months now. The sound was working just fine until now. I installed an update I put off that came 9/20/10. I restarted and my sound no longer works. The speakers built into the laptop doesn't work nor do the headphones. I tried going to the preferences to fix it, but my sound card info wasn't there anymore. Dummy Output was in my Output. I've been searching frantically for a solution but found none. I think my driver has been uninstalled some how but I'm not sure. I use the laptop for multimedia purposes, so please respond as soon as possible. I would GREATLY appreciate it. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my Acer Aspire 5532 laptop.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently isntalled Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on my HP Compaq Presario CQ42. Recently being around two to three weeks ago. The first day I had it I didnt have sound due to my alsa version not being updated to 1.0.23 (something like that, i just know .23 was the version i upgraded to) and then along with another fix this solved my audio problem. There were a few issues with the audio after that, such as vlc and other app sounds not working after playing audio in a browser, requiring (as far as i know) a restart every time. This wasnt a big deal and i was getting around to finding out how to fix it but then today...
While at school I closed my laptop lid (as i usually do), but when i opened it again the screen flicked back and forth between some screens that usually show at boot (not bios, something else). Then Ubuntu told me that it didnt detect any of my drivers and that i should start in low graphics mode, and i did, but i made sure to select the just for this session option. I think this may have happened because I was running on low bat at the time but i cant be sure. When i restarted it booted up normally, and graphics and everything were back to normal except...Since that happened my audio has not been working at all. The sound icon is still in the notification panel but there is nothing next to it, eg. volume level. Its not even "--" to indicate mute, there is just nothing there and when i got to sound preferences there is no device under hardware, and when i run the command aplay -l it says there is no sound card found.When i run the lspci -v | less command an audio device is clearly listed :00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1425 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at 94400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop on a seperate partition, so completely clean install, now I've installed various wireless card drivers and the likes. It all works perfectly. Except for, of course, my sound. I am on a Dell Studio XPS 16, and I've tried google searching but no one has had the same problem it seems.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed ubuntu 10.10 a couple weeks ago onto a brand new drive in this old AMD XP3200 system on a soyo motherboard with a VIA 8237. I had sound originally. I notice 2 of my channels on this 5.1 system weren't working. So I came to this thread and tried some of the solutions there. One of them, I think "update", "upgrade" and uninstall, reinstall alsa caused me to lose sound completely, the speaker icon on the top panel disappeared at the same time and cannot be recovered through panel preferences.
Through following some suggestions I found on various threads, It seems ubuntu sees my correct card, has the correct driver installed, I have my user prefs set up to use sound, I don't have anything muted anywhere that I can tell, yet no sound, not even the familiar click of the speakers when booting up. Any suggestions short of reloading from scratch?I do get some errors on some searches, but not really sure what they mean or it they affect anything like the one below:
Code:
pulseaudio -vvv

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy sound is working, though the problem is a bit difficult to describe. The sound seems to be off, not playing certain particular frequencies. I have gotten the sound to work on Windows, so I do not believe it is a hardware problem.
I do not understand the KDE sound system well enough to know where to start. I have tried removing PulseAudio to use ALSA, but the problem still seems to be there. I believe I picked the correct driver for ALSA, also with no effect. I tried Xine instead of GStreamer

I wasn't able to find which one of these could possibly cause the problem.

Have been using Jaunty for a year now, but today my sound has stopped working. It works fine in windows which should eliminate any hardware problems. When I run a test through sound preferences I get to hear static.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst macbook. I've managed to get everything I really need running except sound. I'm 5-year ubuntu user so if anyone asks for any system info I'll probably be able to manage it. This is the only sound-related entry I could find in lspci.
