Ubuntu :: E1705 Weird Sound - System Don't Work In Tandem
May 26, 2010
When I installed Lucid, it created a sound problem. I have a Dell Inspiron e1705. The issue is the subwoofer and the other two speaker in my system do not work in tandem. In prior Ubuntu releases I would fix this problem by making the volume up and volume down button control but the subwoofer and the two speakers (Master+PCM). But with Lucid, I don't seem to have the option to set up my audio due to the "simplification" of the audio bar. I downloaded the Gnome ALSA mixer from the repository, but it doesn't have the function I need either.
Something else I can DL to allow me to get my audio to work? I'm loving everything else in this release, please down let me down! Oh, I've been on ubuntu for 2 years, so I'm not retarded, feel free to give me complicated instruction, but GUI ones are preferred(I remember them in the long run).

I am running the latest Ubuntu on my HP Paviljon Slimline PC with AMD Phenom 9750 Quadcore Processor and 4GiB Ram (2.4Ghrz). code...
When i play Music or Video i have no problems at all.
But.
Have World of Warcraft installed trough Wine and all is working perfect. The thing is that i hear a weird chirping sound when i log in the game (1 time) and then i hear a sort of ticking sound on the background and it stays there no matter if a disable music or not.
Have also tried all 3 settings in sound config (ingame) eg. System Default, Pulse Audio Software ((Null)) and ALSA Software on Default ((null)).
The weird ticking sound is staying.
Anyone knows a solution of have a hint where i must look to solve this ?

I installed Ubuntu onto my computer, and after awhile i decided to completely delete my windows side, so i turned around and installed ubuntu fully and formatted the whole hard drive, what happened was after i did that, it said failing reallocated sector count. I poked my father who has a degree in computers, and said i had to defrag or reformat the hard drive, now both sound crazy to me, but if he said i should jump off a cliff, i would salute him and say right away sir. So after looking up how to defrag it, found out it didn't need defragging, i turned around, backed up my personal files, and tried to put the ubuntu disks...
found out it didn't want to run from disk, so i told my dad, he said pop in the repair disk for it. I replied that I didn't have one, he asked if i had any repair disks, I told him i had an acer 2420 repair disk. He said that would work, I tried it, it installed everything after a few minor issues saying it needed to reformat the drive. So i followed the step by step directions of the disk, and it did what it would do. Now, I boot it up, and it's still running on the ext3 format and it now says

I'm running slack64 13.1, I don't have KDE installed or any of the KDE libraries (so answers concerning KMix aren't going to help), I'm using xfce4 as the desktop environment. Anyway I just bought a new 4.1 surround sound speaker system from Amadeus and wanted to give it a shot. Obviously my first instinct was to plug them in and give it a whack... much to no one's surprise this didn't work. So I googled my ass off, and it seems for every person that has had a surround sound system, there's a different solution for them. I tried a couple tutorials to end at the same disappointing conclusion: the front two speakers and the subwoofer work. So here's the current situation:
The front two speakers are plugged into the speaker-out port (the green one) and the rear-two speakers are plugged into the line-out port (the light blue one). Since the subwoofer works I'm going to assume it uses the the same line that the front two speakers do. I've turned all the lines all the way up in alsamixer, and made sure it's playing on 4 channel. I reran alsaconf just to make sure and it configured snd-intel8x0 for me with no complaints. I also added a .asoundrc file that looks like this:
[Code]...
Then I ran "speaker-test -c 4 -D surround41 -t wav". Again only the front two speakers play any sound. I'm kinda new to configuring sound, as I've never before had a problem.

since yesterday my 11.04 system behaves real strange. Firstly, i can not use any of my external storage media anymore (detachable cd-rom among them). On several devices i tried to mount, they would not appear in /media/ dir, neither could i see them in Nautilus. I know that the system does recognize them in the usual fashion as before, which i can see in system.log and for example GParted.
The other thing is i can't access my trash anymore - when clicking on it in Nautilus, i get the "Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported" message. Last obvious and weird thing was that my Ubuntu One panel personalizations i have made since installing are gone (that is adding and removing icons from there) - it is back to the "original" state which was just after installation.
I didn't notice anything else obvious - apart from the things already mentioned, system seems to work fine.The worthy of mentioning things i've done before these failures was the downloading of system updates and installing of some software (tex-base, monkeyaudio codec, DropBox; actually i've got a shadow of doubt cast on this last one, since installing it required some changes to Nautilus). I don't have any previous kernel to try to load.
Since it's been only a month of usage of ubuntu on my new machine reinstalling it wouldn't hurt me so much, but i would really fancy to find out the root of this strange behavior of the system i am experiencing.

Would Suse run well on Dell E1705 laptop? I am currently running Ubuntu 9.10 and it's OK except it's buggy as h3ll when it comes to sound issues. Have been troubleshooting for months to no avail and ready to try another Distro.

It has happened to my debian jessie system that the sound sometimes ceased to work, but after a quick review of alsamixer, pavucontrol it was easy to put everything back to normal. Not this time
The sound works as a charm with no headphones, but not with them, and I find them particularly useful for talking with people since the sound quality is way better...
I have alsa and pulseaudio installed on my system
uname -a
Linux device 3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.13-2 (2014-07-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux
lspci -v| grep Audio
00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller (rev 06)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
In pavucontrol everything looks normal, and the output seems to be working...

My sound was working fine except I couldn't get system sounds (notifications) to work. So I decided to install pulseaudio to see if it would fix it. Now I get system sounds and my other sounds, but now in most things (such as firefox and warcraft 3) the sound is choppy. I've tried SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE and a couple other things I've googled but it's not working for me. I'd like to be able to fix it or at least go back to the way it was.

The only user that can make the sound card work on a F10 x86_64 system is root. For non root users, I am not seeing any error messages when a app tries to use/access the sound card, just nothing plays. As I said, for root everything works as expected. I am sure this is a permission/setup issue, but I have no idea where to start.

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.

I have copied my Windows fonts to /usr/share/fonts/. While I understand that they can't exactly be rendered like they are on Windows, this Verdana rendering looks odd.(CSS style: font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;)Notice how that "N" in "Norton" and the "V" in "Virus" look obese? By means of comparison, here's the font viewer's rendering of Verdana:

I`m new to Ubuntu and Linux as all. First of all i have a Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop. I have a very strange problem, after the initial installation of Ubuntu 10.10 there were no problems plugging in my headphones or 2.1 sound system and listening to music. After a couple of days when trying to plug in my 2.1 sound system I noticed that there is no sound coming out of them, but the laptop speakers were working fine. Tested the sound system with another laptop and they worked well. I have checked all the settings and everything seems fine. I`m puzzled. I have the system dual boot with Win 7 if that makes any difference.

I've been installing/tweaking F12, and I've found something that I can't say I've ever seen or expected to find before: the contents of my ~/Documents folder has lost its permissions and ownership info. I restored it from a backup last night/this morning, and I've rebooted a few times since then. Other folders from the backup are OK, just Documents.I don't know what my options are. I could try to blow it away and restore it, but that doesn't answer what caused it. If there's a "relabel" or something, that might help... though I've never had to do it before. Could it be that after these two-and-some-change years, my hard drive is giving out? Good thing I have a recent backup... but it'd be a shame to lose all my work getting F12 to work again.

for a while I?ve seen hundreds of attempts via ssh against my system. They finally stop and this could mean only two things my security measures are working "NOT" or they actually got in. In any case browsing around my system for suspicious changes I found a file"agent.4015" on my tmp folder. This file denies read privileges to root and I?m afraid to chmod until I know for sure what it is.

Recently I have started using my netbook (Acer Aspire one D250) alot more due to travelling and I noticed that the mic didn't work. Headed to the Ubuntu forums and saw a thread about installing ALSA. So I did and now I have no sound. From what I can tell ubuntu is no longer picking up my sound devices but I'm sure. Hence why I am here. I need to get my sound working again (obviously) and then in turn get my mic working for mumble and other VOIP programs.

In ubuntu 10.04 my X-fi Fatal1ty Titanium sound card worked for my speakers but I had to use onboard sound for the mic. When I installed 10.10 the sound card no longer works at all so I have to run the speakers through the onboard sound.
The second problem I have is that Skype will not pick up my microphone all other programs seem to be able to record from the microphone just fine but skype does not. Ive tried selecting all the different input device options from the skype settings but none of them seem to work.
EDIT: Sound doesn't work at all in wine.
EDIT2: The X-fi card no longer shows up in the sound control panel.

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:

trying to get everything set up in Debian lenny on my new Toshiba staellite L500. I have successfully installed the wireless drivers and graphics card and have them both up and running. But I'm having trouble with the sound card. Specifically, it appears to be installed but I cant get any sound or any devices related to sound (speakers, volume control, alsamixer) to work at all.
this is my kernel:
uname -r
2.6.26-2-686
and this is the result of lspci:

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.

When I installed my 64 bit system of Ubuntu 10.04 the sound worked very well and I were very happy. The problem started however when I installed Skype which uses pulseaudio. As soon as I start skype (or any other application that uses pulse, HoN for example) the applications sound output or input does not work at all. If I have pulseaudio started in some way, applications that I suppose do not use it like spotify or flash player stops to produce sounds. And when I type "pulseaudio" in the terminal it gives me this:

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)

Upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 using standard Update Manager procedure. Now I get a sound (thump) in my speakers for almost every button click. The sound theme in System / Preferences / Sound is "No sounds". I would like to completely disable any "activity" sounds from the OS, but nothing works.

Every time I open "sound preferences" from either the sound applet or the preferences menu pulseaudio CPU usage goes right up to 100% and proceeds to lock up the entire computer. pavucontrol, paman, and all the other pulseaudio utils work fine, except for ubuntu's sound preferences. It affects a new account.This is my 10.04 desktop that is affected. I have just the default pulseaudio config.

I just received Ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition in the mail this morning. I ran the CD "live" in my HP Pavilion TX2510us Laptop. The laptop has no hard drive due to it failing in the past, So I have installed Ubuntu on a 1 TB external Hard disk. While Running the CD "Live", before installing it, The sound was working. But now that it is installed and booted up it does not work. I did a few searches and came across a few command lines that may help you guys figure out what is wrong. As Follows:
