I 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 am brand new to linux and i am finding it really frustrating cause i always thought i had quite a knack for computers. ive looked online and searched a bunch of stuff but because im so new to linux i am having a hard time even understand some of the stuff. i really want to get comfortable/fluent with linux and unix and what not.
My netbook model is HP Compaq Mini 110 the distribution i am using is Linux Mint 10
My broadcom wifi device isnt working or something.
When i first installed mint, it said that i needed non-free drivers?
The ethernet cable instantly gave me connection and i was able to run updates but the wifi still doesnt work i think the updates only updated the free ones and not the non-free ones cause i dont remember ever specifying to download the non free ones how do i manually specify to download all available updates?
I also typed:
The output says:
Also when i right click on the little network sign on the bottom right corner, then it says "Wireless Networks device not read (firmware missing)"
My ubuntu isnt working after i write my password and press enter it does nothig but gives a massage ''the configuration defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly'' the recovery console doesnt work too(same problem) the problem appeared after i installed bittorent client called smth starting with 'd'.
I just got a Diamond ATI TV Wonder HD 750 USB, but it appears as though my 10.04 wont detect it. Myth cant find it. I tried to install it on my other comp running 10.10 but no dice. Anyone know of a way to get this Tv tuner card working in Ubuntu?
I discovered that the wifi usb dongle i used for years went bad so i got an asus dongle that i cant get working.Might it be because my system is looking for my old one and the new one isnt being recognized? (e.g.wlan setting?)
I want to make a live USB drive, perhaps even 1 with its own GRUB and a choice of operating systems..Its 16gb so it will fit..or maybe just install multiple desktop environments so I can switch depending on the resoruces of the computer I am using..Gnome>E17>LXDE.But I want it to be a regular account with a root/administrator password, ect. When I use the Startup disk creator or Unetbootin I find that the results are pretty limited. I might as well be using a live CD, but thats not ideal. Alternately, when I just install normally it doesnt always load, even when I hit F8 and tell it to boot from my USB drive.Knoppix based distros seem to work better than Ubuntu based distros in this regard, but I dont want Knoppix I want Ubuntu/Mint and friends.Finally, I have sometimes been having problems 'mounting' or using 'swapon'. Even when I turn on Swap with Gparted Im still not getting the benefit of the large swap area I have created..is this because of how the operating system uses swap? Is there a live distro that will save files and settings to swap before using up ram, by default? If not, is there a way to change the behavior of Ubuntu Live CD?
Is there a reason why we cant make proper paragraphs? Is this site strapped for bandwidth or something? Is the site just acting funny?
Playing 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.
my 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?
I just upgrade my fedora 11 to fedora 12 using the dvd and upgrade setup. I know that there is Fedora 13 released however now I`m with fedora 12. My problem was with sound. Sometimes the sound is working, sometimes it is not working. Here is the information for my PC:
[code]...
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.
i was playing around with c++ recently and for laughs and giggles i came up with this little program
Code: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main () {
[Code]....
theoretically that should be an infinite loop but it in fact does terminate eventually echoing out 'FIRE!'
just wondering if even though in theory this should be an infinite loop (a number repetedly divided by 2 should never reach 0 thus the conditions of the loop should never be satisfied, hence infinite loop) perhaps in practice limitations of the variable types prevent this?
I have a newly installed Ubuntu 10.04 Operating system. As soon as i booted it up, i realized that my sound was not working, for anything (movies, ..... videos, music, etc.) How do Make the sound work?
I have both Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on my laptop. Since the last few days my sound in Ubuntu is not at all functioning when it works just alright on windows.
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 recently noticed that when I boot up ubuntu it no longer plays the cool startup music. 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?
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:
[CODE]jakob@jakob-laptop:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[Code]....
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.
I haven't do any updates so it shouldn't be anything wrong with the system...Even after restarting my comp, it still won't work.I was plugging in my earphones to the jack last night as I didn't want to disturb my family while watching starcraft 2 commentaries...So this morning i plug it out and wanted to use my speaker and it don't work anymore...it was working fine all the time...so is there any way using the earphone might have cause the problem?
I'm using Lucid and after some update my sound indicator got vanished.And now it doesn't show any any controls ( buttons) while some track playinging in rhythmbox or anyother audio player.
I'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.
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.
I 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:
Im trying to get the sound working via HDMII have a HDMI cable connecting my nvidia video card to the monitor... even i say the apps to output the sound through the device 1,3 , i dont get any sound..
