[Solved] Lost sound with xMonad

Hello,
I lost the sound when I run xMonad. When I run gnome everything works fine. Someone from the xMonad mailing list said I must be forgetting to start alsa or pulseaudio daemons. How do I do that?
Thanks!

I ran alsamizer and turned the volume to maximum for everything.
EDIT: I set myself in the audio group, but still unable to get any sound
speaker-test does this (before I interrupt it, it seems to do something forever):
speaker-test 1.0.25
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 2048 to 16384
Period size range from 1024 to 1024
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1024
was set buffer_size = 16384
0 - Front Left
Time per period = 2.665351
0 - Front Left
Time per period = 2.986627
0 - Front Left
Time per period = 2.986616
0 - Front Left
Time per period = 2.986630

  • [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

    Problem resolved. I ran alsaconf, selected my soundcard, and everything was working from there out. Thanks MisfitI38 on the IRC!!!

  • [SOLVED] No sound with vmware

    I'm getting no sound with vmware, not sure why
    Here's what I've been trying to test things:
    $ cat /dev/urandom | aplay
    Playing raw data 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
    Here's some alsa info, if it helps:
    $ aplay -L
    null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

    Don't think I was clear enough, but arch is installed as a vmware guest. Below is the requested output from the alsa-info script:

  • [SOLVED] No sound (with flash)

    Hello.
    I have no sound with flash. It does work elsewhere.
    I am using ALSA.
    My flash should output audio correctly according to wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fl … d_in_Flash
    # aplay -l
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

    EDIT: I'm retarded. I didn't add my user to audio group. And sound elsewhere was from speaker-test which needs SU.

    Orrrr it's because the flash plugin uses OSS.
    run `aoss firefox` and be happy.
    OSS does still work or at least the alsa backwards compatibility layer that emulates the old interfaces, right? did i miss anything?
    for newer versions of flash (like version 9) simply install firefox in wine and let it install the plugin. that usually works great!

  • [SOLVED] Lost Sound After Upgrade

    Solved (for now at least). The problem appears to be a bug with alsa. Alsaconf writes a file called /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf, which contains the aliases for the sound card. But for some reason it then wasn't reading the file. Copying the alias entries to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to read directly from there seems to have worked.
    Now to fix the frequency scaling.
    ===================== solved ===========================
    I lost all sound after the last upgrade. I just rebooted because frequency scaling is also not working, and no sound.
    all drivers seem to be there:

    I tried firefox, xine, mythfrontend, avidemux2, xmms and mpg123 - there's no sound in any app. If I play something where there are indicators, like in xmms, the eq indicator levels jump, the song progresses like it's playing, but no sound. I reran alsaconf, it seems to be configured properly. The mixer sliders work and aren't muted. It doesn't work either as root or as user.
    I have another computer hooked up through the line out and the sound still works fine there, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware problem.
    I'm completely stumped at this point. If it's a bug somewhere, what's it a bug in to cause global sound loss? Is there anything else I'm overlooking? All I can think is that it must be muted somewhere, but I can't find it. Or else it has something to do with the cpu and cpu freq scaling that's also broken now.

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • [solved] no sound with multimedia apps using Pulseaudio Dummy drive

    It seems audio issues are kindof frequent atm, but I couldn't solve the strange issue using the informations provided in the threads nor the wiki
    Issue:
    One app plays audio just fine: Deadbeef Audio player, but no activity shows up in Pavucontrol while playing.
        Deadbeef uses default Alsa outpput (currently Pulse audio server)
    The other multimedia that I use or tried (mplayer, VLC and paplay test.wav) play files with no sound to be heard. Pavucontrol just shows 'dummy output' activity
    as for mplayer that is the case with default pulse and alsa audio drivers
    Context:
    1/ Recently switched from ALSA to PulseAudio
    Have no  ~/.asoundrc
    2/ First appeared when:
    Installed software updates last week. I lazily hoped it will resolve itself with the next update which it didn't so far. None of the packets I updated had linux|pulse|alsa|sound|audio in its name.
    Another issue appeared at the same time: no software is able to play any media from the DVD drive. The optical drive itself is well recognized whether by 'lsscsi' or /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
    3/ PulseAudio did not start today after booting the system
    $ pulseaudio --start
        E: [pulseaudio] main.c: daemon startup failed
    Started OK after commenting "/etc/pulse/default.pa" config line that remap microphone to mono for Skype (as per the Pulseaudio wiki)

    Really? What do you think relevant_snd_module is? When you copy something from another thread, maybe it would be wise to read through it first. I tried to explain that there is no relevant_snd_module, it is a hint to the user, yes you, to use the module that is relevant in users case, which often is snd_hda_intel, which again is also mentioned in the other thread. Read it and correct your post accordingly please.
    As for the issue at hand, is module-suspend-on-idle loaded? If so, disable and unload it. Start PA with '-vvvv' switch and post the log here. You might want to try defaulting the configuration for PA, meaning delete your ~/.config/pulse. Does your GPU have a hdmi sound card?
    Check if you can get sound output with PA killed through speaker-test:
    speaker-test -c 8 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD PCH DEV 0}"
    speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD PCH DEV 0}"
    Both should work launched in that order at the same time.

  • [SOLVED]No sound with ALSA. I'm looking for help with troubleshooting.

    Hi!
    Recently I bought a new laptop (HP Probook 450 G1). For some reason I can't hear sound from the laptop's speaker or headphones. I already read the troubleshooting guide on wiki. Unfortunately none of the solutions described on the wiki helped. I'm not using PulseAudio and I'm out of ideas.

    So that the right output becomes the all-important *default* output. And it's conveniently a simple one-liner.
     I am very aware of that, why not use index instead? It is as convenient as enable. Why leave the user with a disabled device, when it can continue to work? I consider this highly inefficient, because it does not solve the actual issue and creates a potential problem in the future.
     In this case, user interaction was the cause, so it does not matter.

  • [Solved] Volume Notification with Xmonad

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to get this working for my environment.
    http://dmwit.com/volume/
    Now, i don't have xmonad-extras package installed so obviously the exact tutorial doesn't work for me. (I would like to avoid using cabal, i've had bad experiences with it, probably cuz i did a root install) Now I've tried the tutorial but when i change the volume i only get a large dzen square with this output "()". This is what i did for that to work on my xmonad.hs file:
    , ((0, 0x1008FF12), spawn "amixer -q set Master toggle")
    , ((0, 0x1008FF11), spawn "amixer -q set Master 10%-")
    , ((0, 0x1008FF13), spawn "amixer -q set Master 10%+; ~/.xmonad/bin/volume.sh" >>= alert)
    alert = dzenConfig centered . show
    centered =
    onCurr (center 150 66)
    >=> font "-*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-64-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
    >=> addArgs ["-fg", "#80c0ff"]
    >=> addArgs ["-bg", "#000040"]
    The script volume.sh outputs the current value of the master. I currently use that script to output the volume to my xmobar. Of course output to screen and xmobar is redundant but i just like the visual .
    Is there a way to output the value of the script into a function in xmonad? In this case the alert function.
    After some googling i came accross this http://reddit.com.marqueefy.com/r/xmona … _spawpipe/
    but unfortunately i can seem to have the readprocess to work. (really cant figure out the syntax for it)
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Dave

    This is solved.
    The only solution i found was to install all my haskell programs using cabal exclusively as so:
    pacman -S ghc cabal-install happy alex
    cabal update
    cabal install cabal-install
    cabal install xmonad xmonad-contrib <<< here you should be using cabal from your local directory. ~/.cabal/bin/cabal
    cabal install xmonad-extras
    cabal install xmobar --flags="with_mpd"
    got into trouble when mixing packages from the official repo with haskell ones. Since they all come from haskell there should be no issues with conflicts. Granted some libraries get updated which cause xmonad to break but a simple delete and reinstall will do the trick. (has happened only once so far):
    remove ~/.ghc
    #### rerun cabal update, cabal install.... etc
    Hope it makes sense and it's useful to someone.

  • Lost Sound With Upgrade

    No biggie but... when I upgraded to 10.4.9, all went well I except I lost my screensaver sound on all screensavers with sound. Reinstalling screensavers did not work. All other sound works fine. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks for in advance for anyone's time!

    try upgrading to 10.4.10 with software update (>Software Update...)

  • [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!
    Last edited by orlox (2010-08-14 20:09:46)

    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

  • [Solved] No sound with udev 173

    New try. Check IDs with:
    cat /proc/asound/card0/id
    cat /proc/asound/card1/id
    Then do something like
    options snd-hda-intel id=SB,HDMI index=0,1
    using the IDs you got with the commands above.
    As for .asoundrc, I've seen one recently, but can't remember where. Edit - Found it:
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card SB
    ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card SB
    However this will only play one sound at a time. Check here if you want to play around with this stuff: http://alsa.opensrc.org/FAQ026. Hopefully you won't need to.

  • [SOLVED] No sound with Chromium, libpepflashplayer problem.

    Hi,
    I had problem with no sound in Chromium when using the flashplayer, but it all worked in Firefox.
    The problem was the chromium-pepper-flash player that I used as described in the Wiki.
    with that player I get following message when starting Chromium:
    ALSA lib setup.c:565:(add_elem) Cannot obtain info for CTL elem (MIXER,'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack',0,0,0): No such file or directory
    But if I use:
    Shockwave Flash
    Version:    11.2 r202
    Location:    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    Type:    NPAPI
    I got sound ok, unfortunately the player crach much more often, something that was the reason I changed to  chromium-pepper-flash player
    Any ides why I do not get sound in Chromium with chromium-pepper-flash player?
    Best regards.
    Christer

    To share my findings.
    The problem was a the settings in asound.conf.
    My old "asound.conf."
    # conver alsa API over jack API
    # use it with
    # % aplay foo.wav
    # use this as default
    pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave { pcm "jack" }
    ctl.mixer0 {
    type hw
    card 1
    # pcm type jack
    pcm.jack {
    type jack
    playback_ports {
    0 system:playback_1
    1 system:playback_2
    capture_ports {
    0 system:capture_1
    1 system:capture_2
    Left since I was playing around wirh PureData and Jack.
    All my outher audio apps like mpd, xbmc worked just finde with this one but not libpepflashplayer.
    My new asound.conf
    # use this as default
    pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
    ctl.mixer0 {
    type hw
    card 0
    With the new one also libpepflashplayer works OK.
    Using libflashplayer was a very bad option for me because it crash so often. libpepflashplayer much more stable for me.
    All the best.

  • [SOLVED] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

    I've got no sound so I've looked into journalctl and there were some bluez and pulseaudio related erros. So i.a.w. this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155714 I did `systemctl enable bluetooth.service`. No more errors but still no sound.
    Other things I did:
    - unplug/plug headphones
    - check whether anything is muted in alsamixer and the gnome sound applet (note: nothing is greyed-out, microphone picks up signals)
    snd_oxygen i.e. ASUS XONAR is the sound card I would like to use and I hook my headphones to.

  • [SOLVED] No Sound with ALSA & Pulseaudio

    Recently I made the transition from Debian to Arch, installed on a
    seperate partition using the chroot install method.
    All went smoothly, with the exception that there is no audio whatsoever.
    Over the last week I've read through the related topics on the wiki and searched the forum,
    but to no avail
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Here are some details;

    a couple of days i had a similar problem, because sound modules for my internal modem were loaded. maybe you can try to blacklist the snd_hda_codec_realtek module, which looks like a network card.
    you can achieve that by putting
    blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek
    in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and reboot.
