Can't get sound driver working

hello,
i own a toshiba satellite A300 psaj4e, running on windows xp sp3.
all drivers install fine, except for the sound driver:
windows asks for a driver for:
'Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus'
please help me

Is this the one you used?
Conexant Sound Driver for Windows XP, v3.47.1.50, dated 14/10/08

Did the problem occur in connection with the installation of SP3?

why not? i use alsamixer as root to set all "globally". and "alsactl store" after that.
egb - make also sure you added yourself to audio group.
yeah, I did that some time ago

Can't get sound to work [SOLVED]

Hi, I'm new to arch/linux in general. Built a computer, and can't get sound to work. I ran Ubuntu for a short period of time, and sound worked there, so I'm assuming there's no hardware issue here.
I'm a little bit stuck as to what I should be doing. Help?

Start with the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture
If you still can't figure it out and you want help, at least post some info, instead of 'can't get it to work' (this implies that you tried something, but what?).

After reinstall, can't get sound to work

I did a full reinstall of windows XP to a new hard dri've after my old one crashed, and I can't get the sound card to work. I am getting no sound whatsoever.
I have the Soundblaster? X-fi disc that came with my Dell computer, and I used that to install drivers. Device manager says the card and drivers are working properly. It also lists a Sigma Tel High Definition Audio Codec as a device, which is something that was on the driver disk supplied by Dell. I disabled that just in case the two are in conflict, but no luck. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Can't get sound to work

Hello,
haven't posted here in a long time, but now I decided to install arch on the new laptop I bought and I managed to get myself in a bit of trouble seeing that I never used a laptop before, let alone installed arch on it.
So my laptop model is Lenovo IdeaPad G510 ( CPU: Intel Core I5-4200m Haswell GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8570M).
I installed the propriety driver for the gpu but I use the intel integrated gpu for now because the X server doesn't start when using the amd driver, so that's one problem I jope you can help me with.
My other and more urgent problem is that I can't get the sound to work and creating a custom alsa conf just breaks alsa anyone has a clue as to how I can fix that?

it's the one built in with the CPU (that's why I posted the cpu make) and the alsa conf was like the one listed in the wiki where you specify one card to load before the other ( already delted the .conf so I can't post it sorry), my main problem is that I don't even know how to decide which of the devices show by aplay - l is my sound card, just never had to deal with sound before

Can't get sound to work on Firefox, but it works with Explorer.

I have a PC with window vista. I recently did a repair on vista because of malware. All normal except now I can't get the sound to work when I use Mozilla Firefox as browser. The sound works when I use explorer as browser. I have checked all connections & sound settings that I know. Help.

[Solved] Can't get sound to work proper

Hey
I use KDE4 with KMix. I have 5.1 Optical sound.
When I enter Audio Setup in KMix and test the "hw: 0,1" option I get playback.
But I haven't gottten any sound except that. Tried a video in MPlayer and Youtube video in Firefox.
I'm still abit new to Arch and linux.
Also tried adding

type equal;
pcm.plugequal {
type equal;
# Modify the line below if you do not
# want to use sound card 0.
#slave.pcm "plughw:0,0";
#by default we want to play from more sources at time:

pcm.!default {
type plug;
slave.pcm plugequal;
pcm.eq {

Did what you said. PCM was the only one muted.
Oddly, I recently started having the opposite problem. KDE startup and other systems sounds have stopped playing. All my other sound (mplayer, flash, etc) work fine. I can play the startup sound fine when opening it via dolphin. It just doesn't play on startup, or any other system sound. I know this happened after a recent update but I am not sure what or when caused it. Startup sound isn't that important to me but fixing it is. No luck so far.

Satellite Pro P200 - Can't get sound to work

Hi, since I've had this laptop I've not been able to get the sound to work. Have tried turning the volume off and on from the ESC key and the master volume control looks fine. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hello Wayne
Please don't be mad on me but whole story is somehow strange. Why?
>since I've had this laptop I've not been able to get the sound to work
This cannot be the truth. Every notebook is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image and recovery image is designed for your notebook model. That means, with factory settings everything MUST work well.
So questions are:
Do you still use factory settings or own preinstalled OS?
Do you use Vista?
Can you hear sound using headset?
Please offer a little bit more info.

Can't get sound to work - no /dev/dsp !!!

I could really do with some help here, this is the first time I have tried to get sound working under linux. I am using a Abit VT6X4 board with on-board sound (VT82C686A) AC97 compliant chipset. I am using Kernel 2.6 which uses the config from the 2.6 package but with added SCSI support. I created the audio group as per FAQ but with ^snd as well as ^sound in the devfsd.conf. I installed all of the ALSA packages, I added snd_via82xx and snd-pcm-oss to /rc.conf, I added the following to /etc/modules.conf
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
When I login (as user or root) I get the dreaded no dev/dsp error.
Now if I ls -la in /dev, I see no dsp file/directory, however, if i touch /dev/dsp I get an access denied error (as root).
If I lsmod I get the following listed, so the modules appear to load ok.
snd_pcm_oss 49412 0
snd_mixer_oss 17056 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_via82xx 22688 0
snd_pcm 91168 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx
snd_timer 22532 1 snd_pcm
snd_ac97_codec 52900 1 snd_via82xx
snd_page_alloc 9220 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart 6432 1 snd_via82xx
snd_rawmidi 20768 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device 6504 1 snd_rawmidi

soundcore 7456 1 snd

Still having no luck here. I added snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss to the /etc/rc.conf. Farphel, you mentioned setting up the /etc/devfsd.conf to link /dev/dsp to the appropriate devfs entry, could you please give me an example of which lines do this.
I also inserted the following into /etc/modprobe.conf
(i take it modules.conf is now ignored with Kernel 2.6?).
alias char-major-116* snd
options snd cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias char-major-14* soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss

Tecra S1 - Can't get sound to work after new installation

Hi,
I have a Tecra S1 and had to reformat. Didn't have orig driver CD.
All went well, installed drivers from Toshiba website. Soundmax driver for sound. But I am sure I can hear some reverb when playing music. VERY annoying.
I think that a sound environment preset must be turned on but I have looked EVERYWHERE and cannot find how to get into or adjust any sound environment presets.
HELP PLEASE!
Any help appreciated.
Pete

Nice job, buddy! :)
How did you fix this?

I can't get sound to work once I export my indesign file to pdf

I am tyring to get a sound to play on a project I am working on, I've tried making a button to play an mp3 and I've tried converting the file using the Adobe Media Encoder to f4v and I've instructed it to play on page load and that doesn't work either. I'm at wits end trying this because I have a deadline tomorrow and I've been trying to get this last touch done for around 24 hours. I just need some help!

Are your speakers turned on? Sorry, that's a bit facetious...
I can't help at all here, but I could recommend going over the help file for it, you might find a step you've missed, a link to the online one is here. There are user notes down the bottom too, apparently there are a few issues.

Still can't get Epson driver working....any help?

Hi all, I've posted elsewhere and this site and am new to mac so bear with me. I really cant seem to get my epson 3800 (and my old 830U) to work, even after downloading what I thought were the most current drivers. Am I missing something... I've been at it for so many hours now, and would love to love my new mac after swapping (from a very functional) PC system. Forgive me if I'm asking already answered questions but I've followed all the advice I could find and still no luck. Al i get is a single, generic printer dialogue with no options worth speaking of... what happened to all my printer functions...I really need them for my work, and can't bear the thought of having to re-install my PC to get me through.
Any help much appreciated.
SN

Thanks for you help...sadly I have done this several times now with no luck. After deleting all drivers, I download the latest version direct from the Epson site (pro 3800), I then delete any printers in print menu, re-add the new printer driver, navigate to select the driver again. I check the details are correct (driver version 6.1).
Still no luck...what am i doing wrong? Is there something I am missing here?
I am just about at the end of my teather here...Is it possible to revert a previous version of OS x...I've not done this before but I just have to get working and I've been trying to solve this problem for nearly a day now...
Sorry, not anyone's fault.

Hello EucaBlue!
So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
Happy tinkering!

I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work? i use OS X

i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?

With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.
