No sound with ALSA and/or Pulse from built-in Intel 5 Series Card

Hello,
I posted a thread about a similar problem to this 4 years ago, but that solution is no longer working for me, and I'm just now returning to Arch after floating between a few different distros, so I'm not as knowledgeable about this as I might once have been.
Basically, my problem is that sound does not work on my laptop, neither through the internal speakers or headphone jack, and neither with plain ALSA nor Pulseaudio. This leads me to believe that there is some underlying problem that once solved, will allow plain ALSA and Pulse to work properly, but that's just speculation. I've put several hours of research into this so far with no luck. Everything in alsamixer is unmuted and looks right. I'm going to dump as much relevant info on my setup below in hopes that someone more knowledgeable than I can spot the issue:

same problem with me on Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series.
actually, internal speakers works, it's just on mute (you can change it with alsamixer), but headphone/external speakers doesn't work. and there's no sound card detected in gnome control center -> audio section.

  • No sound with alsa and integrated Intel sound card, any advice???

    I just got a new computer, erased the OEM windows install and installed Arch linux with xfce. I have an Integrated HDA intel sound card with Realtek ALC888 chip
    Sound worked just fine in the windows install, so I know the card and speakers work.
    I installed alsa and made sure to unmute PCM and Front speakers. Unmuting all of the entries didn't help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I am going through the wikiarticl on alsa as well, but if anyone can point out what the issue is hear I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hmm. I have an onboard Intel sound chipset as well.. I noticed your rc.conf doesn't have "snd-hda-intel" in the MODULES array; make sure you add that.
    I never figured out how to read the right side of lsmod's output, so I'll assume that, despite having the snd-hda-intel module, you haven't enabled it yet. Try (as root or through sudo) `modprobe snd-hda-intel`. It may need underscores instead of hyphens; they seem to be interchangeable.

  • [Solved] Sound with ALSA and PulseAudio at the same time?

    Hi, I am using arch linux to play Counter Strike on.
    While it works fine and all, I just don't get any sound in CS because I am using Mangler, which only seems to work with my microphone if I use PulseAudio.
    I hope this is a rather simple issue, basicly, I just want to enable sound in PulseAudio and ALSA at the same time, is this possible?
    Last edited by Paaskehare (2010-08-12 15:39:09)

    I have read that PulseAudio decreases sound quality, and therefore I would not like to use this as a systemwide driver, but rather only where it is needed.
    Please correct me if I am wrong
    Edit:
    Ok, sound quality isn't noticeably worse, so this will do. HOWEVER, while I am in Counter Strike my sound is delayed by ~1 second, and it is therefore useless, any thoughts on that matter?
    Edit again .. Solved this time:
    I set my ALSA plugin in winecfg to "Hardware Acceleration: Emulation" - that seemed to do the trick.

  • No sound with ALSA and Creative Recon3D

    I have been working on this issue for several days now and still cannot get my sound card to work. Basically, I have a Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D sound card installed in a PCI slot and I am unable to play any sound through it. Note that I have the on board sound disabled in the BIOS. Also, it is my understanding that this sound card is supported as of kernel 3.5. I dual boot this system and sound does work on my Windows install. I am certain that I do not have any channels muted and that the sound card is being detected by the kernel.
    I have already gone through the relevant troubleshooting steps listed in the following Wiki pages:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … sound_card
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … leshooting
    As suggested by the above pages, I have tried:
    - Setting the default card in /etc/asound.conf
    - Setting all instances of "card 0" to "card 2" (which is the ID of the card listed in "aplay -l") in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
    - Verified the sound modules were loaded
    - Double checked to make sure that all channels were unmuted
    A couple of interesting things I noticed:
    1) Speaker-test fails:
    # speaker-test -c 2
    speaker-test 1.0.26
    Playback device is default
    Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
    Using 16 octaves of pink noise
    ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
    Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory

    Can anyone help point me in the right direction? This is driving me crazy and I feel like I am just a few steps away from getting this working properly.
    One last note, I tried going the PulseAudio route as well, and I was unsuccesful.

    I think it's little too late now but i guess i post this for anyone searching for a fix
    Recon3d works since few major kernel versions back... but there buffer allocation problem on default configuration (Card sometimes will do random loopy noice while trying to play, which means right sound data going somewhere where it does not suppose to) , it can be fixed by loading snd_hda_intel module with position_fix=1 parameter. For some reason this does not work on udev (or i'm doing something wrong ) so i did script:
    rmmod snd_hda_intel
    modprobe snd_hda_intel position_fix=1
    ...and i turn it to systemd service, which starts on boot and it seems to work. There 3 bugs i notice:
    1. Sometime card mutes, but when i do sound is soem other application it goes back, i think there init problem or something, this seems to fixed since 3.8
    2. On system wake sounds gone sometimes, guess what fix that .... you need to boot Windows and go back to Linux and it works, i think this has soemthing to do with firmware
    3. Optical Input does work in Audacity
    3.9 inludes firmware loading which should fix lot of problems + support for What U Hear (sound loopback) and digital mic. Hopefully it also fix buffer problem

  • [SOLVED]No Sound with ALSA - Intel Corporation 82801G HD Audio

    Hey all,
    I've succesfully installed Arch Linux. My past two attempts have met with failure, all because of my own failure to read and follow directions correctly. This time everything is installed correctly. I am running Kdemod3 on my laptop with Arch and everything works great. I LOVE Pacman and the simplicity of Arch's configuration files. It's super fast and all together simple. My only remaining problem is this:
    My sound with ALSA is not functioning. I followed the installation instructions at the arch wiki and after unmuting all of my channels I still would not get any sound. My sound module is snd_hda_intel and it is detected, loaded and the whole nine yards (as far as I can tell). My user is a member of the 'audio' user group also. I looked at the troubleshooting tips on the bottom of the Wiki but decided not to try them as they do not seem to pertain to my card (snd_hda_intel) but I will try them if anyone would like me to.
    If anyone has any ideas, they'd be greatly appreciated!:D Anything I can provide that you need I will be more than willing to provide.
    Thanks for such a great distribution,
    Dan

  • No sound with apps and alerts unless headphones are in. Everything else works well. I tried resetting but it didn't solve problem.

    No sound with apps and alerts. Everything else works. Tried resetting, didn't solve problem. Apps have sound with headphones only

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Can't get 4.1 working with ALSA and Intel card

    Hello everybody,
    My problem is simple, but I cannot find any solution for it.
    I have Arch Linux 64 bits installed with ALSA and a Intel onboard sound card
    I can get the audio working simply installing ALSA and unmutting the channels, but I get no sound at the rear speakers and the center speaker (subwoofer).
    I run:
    $ spearker-test -c 5
    And all I have is sound at the 2 front speakers.
    Looking at alsamixer I only saw configuration for 2,4 and 6 channels. I am currently using the configuration for 4 channels.
    I unmuted everything in alsamixer (playback) and nothing changed.

  • My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

    Hi Experts,
    I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
    Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
    Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
    Thanks in advance,
    C
    SAVING THE LIST DATA TO DB
    DATA: L_WA(800).
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    ZDBTAB-DATALEN = STRLEN( L_WA ).
    MOVE: L_WA to ZDBTAB-RAWDATA.
    ZDBTAB-LINENUM = SY-TABIX.
    INSERT ZDBTAB.
    READING THE DATA FROM DB
    DATA: BEGIN OF T_DATA,
                 SEQNR type ZDBTAB-LINENUM,
                 DATA type ZDBTAB-RAWDATA,
               END OF T_TAB.
    Select the data.
    SELECT linenum rawdata from ZDBTAB into table T_DATA
         WHERE repid = w_repname
         AND rundate = w_rundate
         ORDER BY linenum.
    Populate calling Internal Table.
    LOOP AT T-DATA.
    APPEND T_DATA to T_TAB.
    ENDLOOP.

    Hi Anuj,
    The unicode flag is active.
    When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
    When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
    APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
    T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
    In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

  • No sound with ALSA & Fluidsynth enabled (as normal user)

    Ahoy!
    I'm using pure ALSA (no pulseaudio) and I have a problem that when I start Fluidsynth I have no sound anymore. Without starting Fluidsynth, everything is working just fine.
    I can play sound with Fluidsynth enabled though when I add myself to the audio group. However, I didn't need to do that in the past. In fact, I have Fluidsynth up and running with ALSA on my laptop and everything works just fine and I remember reading in the wiki that the user is not supposed to be added to the audio group.
    Here's some information:

    Thanks. I've set Fluidsynth up the way it is described in the wiki (FluidSynth). If I'm not mistaken it is already started with the "-a alsa" option through the config file (SYNTHOPTS="-is -a alsa -m alsa_seq -r 48000" ).
    Well, since adding the user to the audio group fixes the problem I'll do that now.

  • Problems with ALSA and OSS

    Hi.
    I'm a ArchLinux user and I have been having problems with my audio, specifficaly the microphone.
    My microphone works well with Audacity and I use it for speaking trough TeamSpeaker and since TeamSpeak still uses OSS I installed alsa-oss and added aoss to my TeamSpeak command. But, for some reason, the application stopped working (this have nothing to do with my real problem) and as substitute I installed TeamSpeak in Windows XP running on Virtualbox with ALSA audio. Everything worked smoothly until some weeks ago.
    The microphone on Virtualbox stopped working but I still hear sound. And the funny thing is that TS Linux got working again, but if I use it with aoss I cannot use the microphone but I hear sound and to have microphone I have to use it without aoss but then i dont have sound on other apps.
    And to get microphone on Virtualbox I have to enable OSS in preferences and use aoss but then, wich I don't understand why, I dont get any sound with other apps. :\
    I have no idea what triggered this problem.
    My audio device:
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
    ALC660-VD Analog

    No one? :\
    Not even why Virtualbox with OSS and aoss "steals" the sound to the other apps?

  • [SOLVED] Low sound with ALSA

    Hi! I'm using alsa on a laptop with master, speaker and PCM at 100%, and I still can't get an output as loud as I'd like.
    On ubuntu with pulseaudio, I had the option of setting the volume to 120% on the sound preferences menu, which made a desirable volume level for me. Is there an equivalent thing in arch? Is this like setting PCM to something higher than 0b?
    Cheers!

    Just installed pulseaudio. Not really a solution to the name of this thread, since I didn't get a loud volume with ALSA, but it solves my problem of having low volume on my PC

  • Xvidcap record sound with Alsa

    Hello guys,
    I'm running the latest version of xvidcap 64bit from the repos and would like to record audio as well as video. I run also alsa and thought I would have sound when I install alsa-oss as I've read somewhere that xvidcap needs OSS to record audio.
    Can anyone help me out how to enable sound recording?
    Thank you

    Try wiki re alsamixer settings.

  • Cant get stereo sound with alsa

    i installed arch about 5 or 6 months ago and setup alsa for sound
    The problem is that only the left speaker is working.  Somehow i have gone all this time without ever noticing.  I probably would still have not noticed except i booted into windows the other day, for the first time in about a year, and realized that I had two speakers working with media player.
    i've scanned through the wiki and done some google and forum searching, but i can't seem to find anything about getting stereo sound to work with alsa.
    Is anybody else having this problem?  What can i do to make both speakers work?

  • Step and direction pulse from 6024e

    Hi,
    I am trying to control a stepper motor through labview. I have a PCI-6024e DAQ and a stepper driver (G210A from geckodrive). The stepper driver takes step and direction inputs from a pulse source. Is the 6024e capable of doing this? Are there any vi examples?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Yes, the 6024E is capable of doing that.  If the motor doesn't have to run fast, you can simply use two DIO lines.
    If the motor has to run faster than your software loop time allows, then you can program a counter output to send pulses corresponding to the number of degrees you want the motor to rotate.
    I don't have example code that specifically operates a stepper, but LabVIEW ships with examples showing counter configurations that will work.
