Ubuntu :: Speakers Plays For 5 Seconds Then Turns Off
Sep 6, 2010
I have been using ubuntu for the last year. Everything has been working fine. One day I was in class listening to music through my headsets and closed the lid. The computer suspended and I didn't think anything about it. When I got home and opened the computer up with the headsets unplugged, the speakers were not playing. Now I only get audio through my headsets, but if I suspend the computer with the headsets plugged in and open the computer up with the headset unplugged, the speakers plays for 5 seconds and then turns off. I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Altec Lansing speakers

I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop. When I plug my headphones, they sometimes work, they sometimes don't, but that's not the main problem. When they do work, sound also plays out of the speakers. The only solutions I was able to find were for earlier versions, which don't work for 11.04.

I just started with kubuntu 10.04 and first of all let me say I love it! I came from debian lenny with kde so a lot of it is similar. There is one problem: my microphone plays through my computer speakers but I can't record it or use skype with it (I mainly want to use skype). So first question is how do I stop it playing through the speakers and how do I use it with skype?

i have a sony vaio vgn-n38z laptop with an external microphone which i'm trying to use with skype. the microphone (which works; i tried it on another computer) doesn't record anything, but when i speak in it, it actually plays through the speakers (kind of like karaoke).
so basically, i want it to stop playing through the speakers and start recording!
with lspci: my Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
with the command: head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*, i get:
Codec: Realtek ALC262

I'm using a new acer laptop 7736G with x64 ubuntu 10.04.Sound plays through both headphones and speakers when attached. When I use alsamixer and mute either the speaker or headphones, both of them mute.When I alter the volume of the 'headphone' column, nothing happens.If you need any more detail about my sound card etc I can go find it..

The only thing really missing from this install is this issue with the sound. I've searched all over the forums and i found one thing where you get the model and codecs and write them to a file, however, I can't seem to find what my "model" is because none of the postings have anything about Lenovo laptops. Here is the command they all asked for:
Code:
With that info, how do I get the model, and how do I get my speakers to stop playing when headphones are plugged in. Also, I don't have any software installed like pulse audio either, so it's not that.

I've got a weird problem with my sound card config.
I usually use a USB webcam with a built-in mic that works fine when I select it in audacity and skype, but I have a soundcard too and I just wanted to check out another microphone I've got.
I plugged it in and played around with alsamixer and managed to get it so that I can hear it through the speakers, but I can't use it in audacity and skype.
There are 3 options (apart from the USB mic) in audacity, and all of them are dead silent. In skype there are even more options for the mic. Same problem.
Audacity has recording device choices of ALSA HDA Intel ALC882 Analog hw:0,0, hw:0,1 and hw:0,2
How can I get the microphone to appear in that list - or is it already one of those options but somehow not configured right? I can't figure out the Alsa config stuff despite reading several introductions to it. Probably too late at night for my brain.
Plus the last symptom - I broke the sound coming from a java app while fiddling with this setup. It used to give alerts and alarms quite frequently, but since yesterday it's been silent, with errors in the log like
"Error: Sound line is not available.javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: line with format PCM_UNSIGNED 11025.0 Hz, 8 bit, mono, 1 bytes/frame, not supported. "

suspend has always worked fine with 11.04 and now it stopped working a few days ago. How can I figure out what is going on? The display turns off but the computer never turns off and the only way to bring it back is to hold the power button down and then start it back up.

I recently installed Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on my buddy's laptop. It's working alright, except when we try to plug the external computer speakers into the sound jack in the front, there is no change; it keeps playing through the onboard speakers. My friend and I are getting pretty frustrated because we use those speakers to watch movies with, and the onboard speakers aren't sufficient. If I need to provide any other info, let me know and I'll do so.

Well, the title pretty much sums it up. Whenever i plug in my external speakers, my laptop speakers continue to put out sound, which is good until i turn up the volume and hear rattling.
I am running ubuntu 9.04 64-bit 2.6.28-13 on an MSi GX620.

I have a normal install of Ubuntu 10.04 with KDE, gnome, and xfce. Every time i try to do something sound related on my computer, my speakers won't work. I tried headphones, still wouldn't work. The Ubuntu 10.04 documentation didn't help much, and I'm plugging in the speakers correctly.

my computer this morning, then it suddenly turns off. I press the power button and nothing happens. After a minute I press it again and it turns on, but it quickly shuts down when it hit the boot screen. After I tried turning it on again, but it turns on for about 2 seconds and quickly dies. Some times it turns on itself and then turns back off. This happened when I had WIN XP installed too (which was about 2 years ago). I run full Ubuntu 9.1, no double boot. Is this hardware problem or a virus that affects both Windows and Linux? :O

I've read many posts about other people having this issue and I can't seem to find one that is the same problem I am having. I'm totally new to ubuntu and linux as well for that matter, Basically I wanted to give linux a try and started doing some research and liked everything I read about ubuntu. I went to the website and used the wubi (I think that was what it was called) to install ubuntu. Now when I boot my computer it asks me which operating system I would like to use. I navigate to ubuntu and press enter and it starts up with no problems what so ever.
At first I was really surprised with how easy the installation was and how great everything was going, however. After looking around for about 10 minutes, the screen abruptly went black and then my monitor had a small blue box on it with "No input" on it before the light went from blue to orange. I tried hitting every combination of keys I could think of and in the end had to do a hard restart.
Long story short. every time I use ubuntu my monitor shuts off after about 10-20 minutes, regardless of what activity I am doing. I've tried going to /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/ to make sure that sleep_display_ac was set to 0 (it was), I've turned off power management using the power manger under preferences. No matter what I have tried, it continues to be a problem.

I have an 9.04 installation of Ubuntu.After a classical system update via the GNome-GUI my computer (laptop ASUS PRO55series) got the sick habit to turn off abruptly during work.It's like if there were no electricity in my house.It is not the hardware since I also have windows vista and it works fine.I suppose this is from ubuntu; it could be from the heat regulation, that ubuntu thinks it is too hot inthere and just turns off the laptop.

Since I had updated to Lucid, I'm having some trouble with running my laptop on battery. It usually turns off when the battery notifier is still at 13%~18% (it is not shutting down, it is like when your battery runs out of energy). First I had thought that was a problem with the notifier and I was missing when the battery had no charge, but I kept looking at the notifier and suddenly when it had reached 15% my laptop just went down, without saving any job.
I've just upgraded to Lucid Lynx, running on a HP Pavilion dv4-1123us with 2.00 GHz Intel Core2 Duo T5800, 4GB RAM.
The battery is a 6-cell Lithium-Ion that came with the laptop.
I'd bought it about 1 year ago.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit on my desktop and I've encountered a curious and somewhat frustrating issue. It appears that when I plug a flash drive, external hard drive or MP3 player into a USB port my computer turns off. Sometimes it happens instantly, other times it occurs a minute or two later when I'm transferring files. I'm not sure how to approach this issue. I've searched the forum and haven't found any mention of this. I am working on said desktop and all other hardware seems in good working order. If it helps, This is a 3 year old desktop with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600 cpu, a ABIT NF-M2S AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 motherboard, an EVGA GeForce 7600GT video card and a SATA harddrive. I can post a log if someone wants, not sure which one to post though.

I have an Asus Eee S101 netbook running UNE 10.10. When I have the netbook on, I have no problems connecting to my WPA encrypted wireless network being broadcast by a Buffalo router running DD-WRT. When I turn on my desktop computer in the other room (running Windows Vista) which also uses the same wireless network, the netbook disconnects. Then it will take a few minutes to reconnect. Periodically it will do this until the other computer is powered down. I don't know if this is an OS issue or the hardware, but is there any sort of troubleshooting I could do to look into this? It seems like the desktop is somehow interfering with the netbook's connection, booting it offline.

So I have this laptop, and ever since updating to Ubuntu 11.04, the screen will freeze when it turns off to save power, especially if music or video are playing. The screen picture will come up, and the mouse even moves, but I am unable to manipulate anything else on the screen. Sometimes I can hit buttons in the active program, but I cannot see that they are hit. However, when it's a music program or a video, I can hear the sound stop if I hit the pause button. I cannot use the power button to turn it off at this point. I am to do a forced hardware shutdown.
I recently downloaded the a for-pay game, Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, and it also seems to be affected by this bug when it tries to take over the screen. I have managed to close the program by intuition and following sounds, at which point the screen is restored to it's normal settings, but it is frozen and I have to do a forced shutdown. I downloaded several other games to test this out, and many of them then resize the screen have the same problem, though some of them occasionally work and occasionally do not. Of course, the only game that I actually paid for never works.

I have a home movie that is currently in Video_TS format (.bup/.vob files). I burned the movie using K3b and it works awesome in both Ubuntu and on my DVD player with the television. BUT the thing will not play in XP! I understand this is because XP is the work of the devil, but that is not important. The disc shows 4Gb used (in XP) but only gives the title. I even made sure hidden files were visible, just in case somehow the movie was invisible. I have tried burning my DVD directly from the video_ts files in K3b, and first making an .iso file, then going over to XP to burn the DVD using Nero...annnnnd same thing. I can watch them on the TV and 'buntu but not XP.
What have I done wrong? Advice? Need more info? invariably someone wants to ask the irrelevant question "Why do you need to watch it in Windows?"

I am running Fedora 13 at the moment and am having trouble with my internet connection. The connection works fine, but at some point during the night, it turns itself off. When I try to get back on in the morning, I have to sudo ifup eth0 to get it working again. I tried a small bash script running through cron to do this for me every hour, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.

I have a problem with opening files with accents with the kate editor. They are html files written on Windows, and contain the line
HTML Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=Windows-1252">
Opening in kate, no matter the encoding, messes up the characters. They turn to (a '?' in a hexagone) or chinese characters!What's the proper procedure to open and save those files properly in kate ?

My webcam LED turns on whenever my Asus P50IJ laptop wakes up from sleep or suspend, and subsequently will not turn off. I can't tell if my webcam is actually activated or not, and furthermore the light beams right into my eyes and makes my lappy not so usable.
If someone knows why this might be happening or could possibly help me fix it that would be very much appreciated. I'm really trying hard to stick with Linux, but little things like this are making it difficult. I'm kind of a noob, but I'm trying so please be nice.

I use ubuntu netbook for an eee pc 1000h because windows is underpowered. I got it working perfectly in 10.04. I upgraded to 10.10 thinking, if they got it right with 10.04 then surely 10.10 should be fine. All function keys except wireless work.
1. After sleep, wireless turns off. Have to restart and re-enable in bios.
2. If I disable and the re-enable wireless networking it tries to connect but never does resulting in a reboot needed. Checking bios wireless is enabled and connects perfectly on reboot.
Just don't close the lid and sleep because you need a restart. Why would 10.04 be easy and the new version fail? I am windows user and linux does not do this kind of thing normally. MS screws things up with upgrades not linux surely.

I have fresh installation of Ubuntu server upgraded with apt-get dist-upgrade and with XFCE4 installed on my notebook. The problem is whenever I type startxfc, startx or X, the NTB freezes, CRT display connected to docking station/port replicator turns off, LCD in NTB gets black. The system does not respong to any signal, even the alt+sysrq ones. If I even install Xubuntu-desktop, as the X gets loaded every start, system everytime hangs after few seconds and I cannot do anything. Now I reinstalled and tried autoconfiguration with Xorg -configure. If I start the X with this configuration file, the result is still the same. Log at /var/log/X11/ seems to be blank.
Any ideas? Should i try to get drivers for my video card? I thought this is not necessary, the X server should start without anything, even only with basic resolution settings. As I looked, the video card chipset (Intel 82852/82855) is detected in my /root/xorg.conf.new file.
