[SOLVED] No sound after 2x amixer set Master toggle

For the past 6-ish months, I've been able to successfully play sounds with my laptop, but today I was in a place where I would rather no sounds play and used the command
amixer set Master toggle
which I presumed would toggle the muted status of Master. Unfortunately, when I returned home and used that same command, I no longer got sound. I tried using
amixer set Master 100
and
amixer set Master unmute
to attempt to restore sound, but when I tested the sound with
speaker-test
but still got no sound from the speakers.
I didn't edit any configuration files, although I did have vlc media player open when i toggled Master the second time. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both vlc and alsa-utils but still no sound fix. Any suggestions?

Discovered that whatever the issue was originated with vlc media player, since every time I toggle the master (which I bound to my laptop's mute key using xbindkeys) vlc mutes channels in pulseaudio, which I managed to unmute with pavucontrols. I don't know why vlc does this, but it happens and pavucontrols is the easy, graphical solution

[Solved] No sound after mute (an un-mute)

I noticed that if I mute my audio, and then un-mute it, I can't get sound back, even tho the mixer shows sound un-muted and maxed. How do I fix this?
UPDATE
For mute, I am using my Microsoft Keyboard's "mute" button. For unmute, I am also using the keyboard shortcut. However, when that fails, I used `xfce4-mixer` to try to unmute. It says its unmuted but theres still no sound. I worked around this by running `alsamixer` and unmuting manually, which works. But why isit that neither keyboard shortcut nor `xfce4-mixer` fails to work. Worse, `xfce4-mixer` appears to be showing the wrong information, that the channel (master) is unmuted but in `alsamixer`, its muted.

Ok, I saw that `gstreamer0.10-base-plugins`, was installed and installed `gstreamer0.10-good-plugins`. I thought it was not a good idea to install the "bad" plugins. So I tried the keyboard shortcut method. However, it appears to work only one way, mute but I can't unmute. But on 2nd thought, I wonder if its even taking effect? That was the behaviour from before. How do I ensure my mute keyboard button actually run `amixer set Master toggle`? That works in the terminal 2 ways, mute & unmute.

Volume up shortcut not working `/usr/bin/amixer set Master playback`

I used to use something like
/usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2+
to increase/decrease volume but it seems to have stopped working after update and changing to GNOME3 from XFCE 4.10. Same in terminal, has the syntax changed?

In the console:
[jiewmeng@JM Nodebook]$ /usr/bin/amixer set Master playback 2-
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 65536
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 21533 [33%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21533 [33%] [on]

Mono:
Front Left: Playback 21531 [33%] [on]
Front Right: Playback 21531 [33%] [on]
notice theres no change ... 33%. Oh then I did Ctrl+Alt+F2 to go into console. Then did the same with same results. Then did with sudo and it worked. It worked b4 without sudo? Maybe I messed up something? Btw, this happened after I did `sudo pacman -Syyu gnome`. Maybe it changed some config? Or maybe its the upgrades?

[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 after resuming from suspend

After suspending and resuming I no longer have any sound output (through headphone jack or my laptop speaker). The laptop is a toshiba portege r835. I can't say how long this has been happening, since I've only tried to play any sounds after resuming recently.
Searching the forums I found the following thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151001
I haven't tried this because it isn't exactly the same problem, but mostly because I'm currently stuck on kernel 3.5.6 because of the sandy bridge power regression issues.
Does anyone have any other ideas on how to possibly fix this problem?
Thanks!!

Solved, sort of.
I had some double suspend issue: I had set up suspend with systemd before using xfce and then after installing xfce I set my power settings so that the computer would suspend after shutting the lid, so I would have to open the lid, shut it, and then open it again for the computer to actually resume. After turning off the suspend setting in the xfce power manager, and just using the systemd suspend, the sound works fine on resume (both headphones and speakers)!

[SOLVED]No sound after resuming from suspend thinkpad t23

On a T23 Thinkpad, suspend-to-ram works, but I have no sound and no network when resuming.
After googling for a while, it seems I must unload sound modules before going to sleep and then reload my sound modules after resuming.
lsmod|grep snd gives me this:
snd_intel8x0 28700 3
snd_ac97_codec 94756 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss 38432 0
snd_pcm 68996 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 19332 1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc 8072 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_mixer_oss 14464 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd 44388 12 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss
soundcore 6496 1 snd
ac97_bus 2432 1 snd_ac97_codec
However, from the command line, after
modprobe -r snd_seq_oss snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm snd_timer snd_mixer_oss
I get:
FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 is in use.
Even though I have no sound apps running.
I am planning on putting the modprobe -r command in /etc/pm/sleep.d/whatever to unload and then another to reload the mods.
Any help appreciated.

OK, solved it. Placed this in /etc/pm/sleep.d/11suspend
#!/bin/sh
mixers="Master PCM CD"
for mixer in $mixers ; do
/usr/bin/amixer -q sset $mixer mute
/usr/bin/amixer -q sset $mixer unmute
done
Just mutes and unmutes master, PCM and cd channels. Works perfectly. suspend-to-ram and hibernate now work 100%.
Thinkpads are so sweet.

My sound card stopped working today after I updated. I was surprised because my soundcard always worked before. My music player (audacious) said something like "No audio device available".
I had to reboot 2 times. After that, my sound card worked again. I don't know why.
I don't know if you have the same problem as me, but we both had a similar problem on the same day doing the same thing (working sound card -> update -> no sound). Maybe it's just a coincidence?
What a shame but that was not the solution, my computer has been rebooted more than twice since then and still no sound

Installing alsa-utils and running alsaconf was one of the first things I did after a reboot into the new system.
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav worked. I set levels with alsamixer and did alsactl store.
Then I proceeded installing xfce4, mplayer, audacious and a whole lot of packages. When I wanted to listen to music, there was no sound. Not outside of X either. I don't remember if I rebooted inbetween. The three mediabuttons mute, lowervolume and raisevolume register, but do nothing. I see the osd come up when i press them playing video in mplayer, though.

.Xmodmap

keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
Is this kernel too new? I have the 2.6.29-ARCH kernel. The modules snd_intel8x0, snd_intel8x0m and snd_ac97_codec are loaded. I'd like to go with alsa, I think it's more usable than oss. I have the same problem with debian sid and made a lengthy post about it. I finaly chose oss over alsa there.

I don't really know how to start troubleshooting. speaker-test -c 2 doesn't produce any sound. Restarting alsa seems succesfull but doesn't make the sound appear, too. The loaded modules seem fine, too:

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Solved: Problem disappeared by itself after another update (though no sound related packages were touched this time).

Okay, my sound is working again. I fixed the problem by changing two settings in the pulse audio volume control. The first was to turn off the RV710/730 Digital Stereo (HDMI) output device and the second was to change the Internal Audio profile to Analog Surround 5.1 Output. I don't know if the settings will remain after a reboot or some other change, but they work for now.

[Solved] No sound after reboot [FUJITSU-SIEMENS Amilo Pro V3205]

I have an Intel 82801G sound card, which works fine with alsa/snd-hda-intel after I configure it with alsaconf. But after reboot alsa doesn't work until I reconfigure it again.
Here stays, that it should work properly, but it doesn't.
Please, could somebody help me?
Edited: Or could somebody tell me how should I step by step install it? (I tried arch wiki)

Solved on #alsa irc. Thank's gnubien, it was missing @alsa in rc.config.

I got mine working!
First I commented out the module parameter from my /etc/modprobe.d//intel-hda-audio.conf:
#options snd-hda-intel model=dell-eq
Since it works without that now, I will probably remove the file.
Next, I went into alsamixer, and noticed a couple items not there before, turned down low:
"Speaker", and two "HeadPhone" mixers, both turned down almost off. I turned up the volume on the speaker, and was able to get sound from the speakers. The same worked for the headphone entries (I have two headphone jacks).
After I did this, it works better than before because I used to only have one working headphone jack.
Also, I confirmed sound is still working after suspend/resume for me.
Hopefully this will help one of you.
Thanks,the problem has been resolved by downgrade.
Sound is absolutely normal before I suspend/resume my system, volume is normal, not too large,not too little. But there's no sound at all after resume it . I guess it's probably to have something to do with our audio card - HDA intel, my computer is also a dell laptop( dell 1420 , 2007/2008, really old ).
My advice is : don't upgrade to kernel 3.9.2 ,it's an odd version( odd version is not stable).

[SOLVED] No sound after fresh install

Hi
I am having a little bit of a problem that I couldn't solve myself. My sound is not working after a fresh installation of Arch. Everything else is fine but sound is not working. My "user" is in "audio" group, I tried some solution nothing smart just trying to reinstall or try to delete pulseaudio or alsa, only to find they are dependant on something. I have a Gnome 3.12. Also I am not an expert (obviously) ,but some things are still unclear to me about linux and this is not my first expiriance with Arch.
This is what I belive you need from harware list:
Motherboard: Asus P5Q PRO
Video Card: Ati Radeon 4850HD
Audio: Realtek ALC1200, 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC (this is built in)
So enough of my rambling here are the data I think you may need for actually helping me:

No, I checked that in the beggining, however the thing that bothers me is there is, in gnome settings; sound; there is no intel hd or radeonhd choises just "Digital Output" (S/PDIF) -Built-in-Audio". And I can't seem to add new one or anything else. Aslo in the same menu sound; I cannot choose another profile. Just one: Digital Stereo.
I was thinking could the new kernel be guilty? Whenever I installed in the past everything was ok, including the sound. Now there is something that I didn't mention, there were two lines when I started installing Arch yesterday,
"Posible missing firmware aic94, smsmdtv."
This is not exactly how it was written but I do remeber posible and these two "missing" ones, because I writed them down.
That's it. Anyone has any ideas?

[SOLVED] No sound after update

Hello Arch-Community,
unfortunately my sound (neither Speakers nor Mic) is not working anymore on my machine. Yesterday evening was everything fine, but I guess after todays update something must have happened.
Unfortunately I don't know which kind of information I should provide you in order to describe my problem.
Maybe this as a start:
lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
I hope you can assist me in finding a solution?
Thx a lot!

Wow! That shows that you have 2 capture devices (those that end with the letter "c"), and a whopping 5 playback devices (those that end with the letter "p") on your box.
So which one(s) is/are "not working"?
Since you don't mention if you're using gstreamer, PulseAudio, OSS, just plain ALSA, or something else to drive your sound... and the connections (HDMI TV speakers, speakers or stereo plugged into an audio jack, etc.) involved... along with which audio application(s) is/are "not working"... there's plenty of room for a confusion factor to totally cause this to take a quick turn straight into the ditch.
But here's some poor ALSA advice... at least it's free.
First, install the "alsa-utils" package.
Next run the aplay -l command to display all of your playback devices in some crazy English (or your native tongue). Use this to help determine which playback device you want to make the sound come out of.
and/or...
Run the speaker-test -c 2 -l 1 -D plughw:X,Y command one at a time for each playback device... where you replace the "X" with the Card Number (the number following the capital "C" in the ls command above... so in your case, it's "0" and "1")... and replace the "Y" with the Device Number (the number following the capital "D" in that ls command).
For example... to test the "pcmC1D7p" (Card 1, Device 7) playback device enter:
speaker-test -c 2 -l 1 -D plughw:1,7
If you've previously set up the Card Number correctly using the alsamixer command (unmuted the channels, raised the volume, etc.), then you should hear sound during one of those speaker-test runs. You do start the alsamixer command with the "-c" option (or use the F6 key within alsamixer) don't you?
After you've determined which Card and Device you wish to use (most of the time), and if you intend to just use ALSA to drive your sound, then read the ALSA wiki(s) on the Arch and other pages about setting up the ALSA "Default" device in an ALSA configuration file... or configure each of your sound applications with the sound device to use.
When all that's finished, see the arecord man page to fiddle around with your two capture (audio input) devices.
Also, since you have two sound cards, check the wiki(s) about how to set up "options snd slots=" in a /etc/modprobe.d/ configuration file so that the Card Numbers don't swap around on you between system boots.
One last thing; be aware that /etc/modules.conf is/has being/been depreciated in favor of /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf files. See the "modprobe.conf" man page.
Or... you can simply ignore this post.

[SOLVED] No sound after installing NVIDIA driver

I have just got a new graphics card (NVIDIA GT 610) and I have installed the proprietary driver for it. My PC has in-built Intel GPU. I had a problem with that that was fairly straight forward to fix. I blacklisted the i915, intel_agp modules as suggested here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … grated_GPU. But I now have no sound. I am almost certain that this is because there is an in-built sound card that I have now blacklisted because before I blacklisted those modules sound seemed to be working fine.
I'm not sure of any great diagnostics tools for sound but speaker-test outputs:
speaker-test 1.0.27.2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
And aplay -l outputs:

If anyone has any ideas on how I could go about fixing this or what I can try playing with I would very thankful.

That hasn't work but I'm not sure whether I did it properly.
I did cat /proc/asound/modules:
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_intel8x0
and set /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to
options snd slots=snd_hda_intel,snd_intel8x0
options snd_hda_intel=0
options snd_intel8x0=1
I'm not sure if its of any use but lsmod | grep '^snd' | column -t ouput:

[SOLVED] No sound after installing pulseaudio

Hi,
I recently installed pulseaudio to be able to use skype since their update to version 4.3.
I installed with additional stuff using the command:
$ sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pavucontrol lib32-libpulse
After installing I ran the commands:
$ pulseaudio -k
$ pulseaudio --start
At this point, skype and sound were working properly again.
After rebooting my computer, I completely lost the sound. I tried killing and restarting pulseaudio and reinstalled twice, but I never managed to have to sound back since...
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help
