Sound problems after system upgrade

I am having intermittent sound problems on my ipad2 after I upgraded to 6. When this occurs my volume control doesn't work. This problem occurs sometimes in the middle of playing a video.

hhhmm, thanks for the answer,
i reinstalled alsa-driver, run depmod -a & then try to load the modules & it doesn't work! i always get :
Can't locate module snd-pcm-oss
that happens with all the modules i try to load. & my modules are still in
/lib/modules/2.4.24/kernel/sound
is there a way i can load them from there or copy them somewhere else or i don't know what else. 
thanks for the help though!

  • [SOLVED] Boot problems after system upgrade

    hi everybody,
    first of all i have to say, that the machine where i installed Arch is pretty old (something around 5 years).
    I already tried installing Arch two times and every time after i performed a system upgrade, i couldn't boot arch.
    Before the upgrade i rebooted several times to ensure that its working with the brand new installation - it worked.
    Here i'm the 3rd try. This time i configured packman to ignore the kernel package and voila its working now with kernel 2.6.25.6-1.
    So, here is my question: Is there any problem that could appear later on if i never upgrade the kernel?
    I'm quite new to linux and really appreciate your support.
    Regards
    Daniel

    Well ... the kernel, like any other piece of program, from time to time has to be patched if they find a bug in it.
    Never upgrading means that you do not get the benefit of security and improvements patches.
    There is also the issue that some programs, a few, may want to have a certain kernel to run but I think that is less common.
    I, for instance, have not upgraded the kernel for a few months now because it screws up my wifi.
    If you can live with that then  you are OK.

  • [SOLVED]X server problem after system upgrade - fonts garbled

    Hi all,
    I "pacman -Syu"-ed my system yesterday and now my X server is busted. Admittedly, I don't upgrade as often as I should and this was a pretty big upgrade for me so perhaps something broke due to that. Now I cannot see fonts and icons properly. All text except for the "system" fonts is hopelessly garbled. I can only see text clearly in xterm. Images show up just fine.
    Please click the link below for a clearer picture of the problem
    In addition to this, the system hangs (blank screen, but disk light still on) when I exit my X session.
    I went through all the logs but found nothing amiss....
    Pls help, I'd really like my nice archlinux system back....
    thanks in advance.

    SOLVED!
    The upgrade must have corrupted my intel video drivers because removing and reinstalling the i810 package fixed the problem.

  • Sound problems after system restore

    I just did a system restore to clean out my computer and bring it back to the original condition. Now, I can't get any sound from it. I have tried everything possible that I know. Time for a Geek!    All advise is welcome.  John

    Sounds like you didn't also run the driver disk for your computer to get all of the hardware drivers back. You can go to the manufacturer of your computers website to re download drivers, or if you have a "drivers and applications" or something like that, disk, you can run that through to install them.

  • No battery life after system upgrade

    I've searched this forum and found a few notes about significant battery problems after Android upgrades. Immediately after upgrading my Droid X, my battery life went from more than 24 hours to about 4 hours. The battery is very hot and takes about 6 hours to charge. Clearly something is draining the battery. The Verizon tech folks declared it a faulty battery and are sending a new one. I am certain that's not the problem, especially since others have reported the same issue.
    So I hoped to wipe the cache before having to do a factory reset -- it was suggested as a possible solution. I have found some instructions for wiping the cache, but I can't seem to get the instructions to work. I power off my Droid, then hold the home key. Nothing happens. So I can't get to the menu that gives the options mentioned. Can anyone help? I loved my Droid until this update... I really need my phone to work as I am self-employed. I am my own IT department! 

    Hi dazzie,
    I understand your discontent; I would be frustrated if my phone's battery drained for no apparent reason. Please run your phone in Safe Mode as recommended by Cody21 (thank you!). Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue.
    I have checked my resources and I learned that similar battery issues have occurred with other devices upon a software upgrade due to third party applications that are not fully compatible with the upgrade Operating System and a Factory Reset has resolved most post upgrade issues. Please do a Factory Reset as this may resolve your concerns.
    Please keep in mind that performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.

  • DataSource problems after BW upgrade

    DataSource problems after BW upgrade
    Upgrade from
    SAP NetWeaver 2004s: SAP_BW 700 0012 SAPKW70012
    to
    SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0: SAP_BW 701 0007 SAPKW70107
    BW system: PI_BASIS 7.01 SP 6
    ECC/source system: PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 SP 11
    Problem exists throughout, both with generic and standard DataSources.
    Here is one specific example:
    Generic DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
    InfoPackage "ZXXXXXXXX(ZXXXXXXXX)" does not run. Error:
    DataSource ZXXXXXXXX(SOURCESYS) must be activated
    Message no. RSDS179
    Then followed these steps:
    1. Replicate Metadata from source system
    2. Report RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL from SE38 for source system SOURCESYS and DataSource ZXXXXXXXX
    Errors returned:
    Inconsistent user object ZXXXXXXXX SOURCESYS for PSA /BIC/B000XXXX
    Error saving DataSource ZXXXXXXXX SOURCESYS
    DataSource ZXXXXXXXX (SOURCESYS) could not be activated
    When I try to choose "Manage" from the context menu for the DataSource, I see an error:
    Invalid DataStore object name /BIC/B000XXXX: Reason: No valid entry in table RSTS
    Message no. RSM1294
    The following notes have not helped:

    https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1056060
    And no other SDN threads seem to give fruitful suggestions.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Just to help the folks out here.
    In my case,
    Inspite of going through several valid NOTES & program, my issue didnt resolve (you reply was pretty accurate - but dint help me :-)).
    I have resolved the issue by adjusting the PSA table for the same.
    Procedure:
    Take the psa name  --> go to table rstsods --> find the ODSNAME_TECH name for the relevant psa  --> se38 t.code --> enter ODSNAME_TECH and click on 'adjust & activate database table' (make sure you have selected 'save data' radio button.
    Just in case anyone who come across this problem, can do the above steps.
    Regards,
    Dubbu.

  • Fonts went strange after system upgrade

    After 'pacman -Syu' i rebooted and my fonts started looking strange, kinda bigger.
    In some places its not even noticeable but again in other places it is x(.
    I'm using Flubox as a WM and i really don't think this has anything to do with the WM.
    I was wondering if anyone else experienced some similar problems after this upgrade?

    Any ideas?

    I'm having a similar issue. Only difference is that fonts looks smaller than before the upgrade.
    I don't think this has something to do with KMS, because that update was a week ago an no problem was detected. This small fonts issue is probably related to recent updates on xorg- stuff.
    Moreover, the strange thing here is that only GUIs fonts got smaller. Fonts on firefox (the webpage, not the user interface) looks exactly the same as before.
    What should we do?

  • I have a mac, would like to upgrade to mountain lion from mac os x, anybody experienced any problems after this upgrade, thanks

    i have a mac, would like to upgrade to mountain lion from mac os x, anybody experienced any problems after this upgrade, thanks

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.  You can make a bootable DVD/USB stick to install using this free program.
    Bootable Drive DVD or USB Flash Drive – Lion Diskmaker
    Our 2 computers haven't experienced any significant problems, even though others have. I find it much better than 10.7 Lion, which I used for a week before reverting to 10.6.8
    Mavericks is supposed to be released this fall, so you may want to wait.

  • I installed iOS 5.0.1 on my Iphone 3GS. I never can not write in my calendar. Anyone else having this problem after their upgrade?

    I installed iOS 5.0.1 on my Iphone 3GS. I never can not write in my calendar. Anyone else having this problem after their upgrade?

    I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
    It might be something in your backup.

  • Sound problems after export media in premiere pro cs6

    hello,
    i recently started usining premiere c6 and after exported my project to mpeg-dvd i noticed that sound quality is reasonably lost,  than exported sound  separatedly without video to wav and result was the same bad. The imported sound source was really good, recorded in studio- wav 24 bit 48000. Before i used cs3 and never had such a sound problem after export video.
    thank you very much,
    Poly

    It's difficult to speculate without hearing the original and the export.  Can you upload them?

  • Sound problems after upgrade to OS4

    Good morning,
    Anyone else who has sound problems while phoning after the upgrade to OS4? I have a 3Gs. Sound while phoning has been reduced to absolute minimum.

    Same here as well - I have an iPhone 3GS and noticed this morning, when connected to my in-car bluetooth phone system, if I am running a iOS4 application like TomTom which is multi-tasking in the background, the sound quality is crackly, however if I kill the TomTom apps from the task manager, after a few seconds, sound quality is fine.
    Starting up TomTom again, immediately reduces the sound qulaity back to crackling.
    Not sure if the iOS4 or TomTom to blame.
    If I used a the Speaker option, sound is fine. It appears that only bluetooth is affected.

  • [SOLVED]Problem with logging in after system upgrade

    Hi,
    I'm encountering some problem after rebooting my machine just after last upgrade. Few minutes ago I was sure I found the source of the problem when system hang on "Reached target Graphical Interface" message. Reason - nvidia drivers had to be replaced with legacy version (https://www.archlinux.org/news/nvidia-340xx-and-nvidia/). But it didn't help. Also it made things a little bit worse. Because now my system uses nvidia-340xx and it seems drivers are fine but when login screen of lightdm should appear screens stay blank... and nothing happens. I simply can't do anything.
    What I noticed is also xfce4-session was upgraded (4.10.1.3->4.10.1-5) and maybe this is the separate problem? but I can't downgrade this package as some time ago I removed all contents of /var/cache/pacman/pkg.
    What I have is arch on pendrive so I can chroot into existing system.
    Any ideas?

    I found something similar to line
    (EE) Mar 07 14:05:07 NVIDIA(0): WAIT: (E, 0, 0x837d, 0)
    these values are not exact as I'm too tired now to rewrite the real ones from screen 
    maybe I should install some older nvidia drivers (these 340xx are broken somehow I think). Unfortunately I don't have my /pkg content anymore.
    Where can I download packages like nvidia-340.32-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz from? (according to pacman.log I had this version back in July and it was working fine I think).
    I could also start X with Nouveau drivers but not xfce (anyway I would like to install old nvidia drivers back)

  • Sound problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade

    Experiencing very poor sound quality after iOS 4.2 upgrade. Bad eq, left channel dropping out, sounds like heavy reverb. Exists with iPod and pandora apps. Tried adjusting eq in settings. Any one else having problems?

    Yep I just upgraded to new OS 4.2 on iPhone 4 and I get this static buzz sound when talking to people it's really annoying and sound quality is terrible. What happened? I went back to the shop and they said it's the upgrade and that there is an issue with it. They also said there is no point leaving the phone with them as they can't fix it that it's upto apple to release a patch for the problem. Can we get a fix for this soon before I damage my ears?

  • [SOLVED] Sound problems after upgrading

    Forgive me in advance for any vagueness on my part. I confess that I'm not entirely clear on how the sound on my system is set up - I've generally just been taking the path of least resistance, and as long as it works I don't worry about it too much.
    I did an upgrade a couple days ago that pulled in a ton of new packages, new kernel, etc. Afterwards my sound is (partly) gone. It seems like maybe PulseAudio is working but Alsa isn't? Clementine, native HTML5 videos in Firefox, and speaker-test all have sound. Mplayer, flashplugin, and aplay do not have sound. I'm plugged into a Creative X-fi. There's also a card on the motherboard, but I don't use that one.
    I checked alsamixer and unmuted anything that I thought might be to blame, still no luck.

    Here's the default option in alsa.

    Here's the mixer for the Creative.

    Here's the audio mixer applet with the various options. Both Creative options are unmuted and turned up.

    Ok, I finally figured it out. Will document here in hopes that it helps others. Please excuse any vagueness or minor inaccuracies, this stuff is not my area of specialization.
    As I expected, the key was gaining a better understanding of what roles each package plays. ALSA sits close to the hardware and drivers. It's the thing responsible for actually pumping sound into my sound card and out the speakers. PulseAudio sits on top of ALSA, and handles mixing different audio streams coming in from different sources, plus does a bunch of other fancy stuff if you ask it to. So Pulse mixes stuff into one sensible audio stream and pumps that into ALSA, which handles the hardware. Now one final layer: some legacy applications will only work with an ALSA device, but Pulse doesn't want to share ALSA with anyone - it wants everything to go through Pulse first. So Pulse provides an emulated ALSA device for these applications that looks like a sound card, but actually routes through Pulse. That's what the stuff in asound.conf is doing; setting the system's default audio device to be the emulated Pulse device.
    Now to my specific problem. Pulse, for whatever reason, was using the wrong "sink" for audio output. It has several different sinks listed for my soundcard, but only one works. So with asound.conf intact, sound was being routed into Pulse and then out the wrong sink, thus no sound for me. When I added the line to my ~/.asoundrc, I was (I think) actually overwriting the default device so that it was no longer the emulated Pulse device. So even though the Pulse server was running, I was bypassing it and sending all my system sound straight to ALSA. This also explains some weird behavior I was seeing in my web browsers, where I got audio fine from Flash, but not from native HTML5 video.
    To fix it, I got rid of my ~/.asoundrc, and left /etc/asound.conf as is. Then I had Pulse list all the available sinks for my sound card:
    pactl list sinks
    I tested each sink to find one that worked:
    paplay /tmp/volumeTest.wav -d alsa_output.pci-0000_01_00.1.hdmi-stereo
    Once I knew which one was the correct one, I set it as the default sink:
    pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_05_00.0.analog-stereo
    And then tested to make sure that Pulse was working, and that ALSA was routing things into Pulse:
    paplay /tmp/volumeTest.wav
    aplay -D default /tmp/volumeTest.wav

  • Sound problems after upgrading to 7.1 and Pro

    I have recently upgraded to Quicktime Pro and installed the 7.1 update, to create Podcasts at work. The only problem is now that non of my quicktimes will play sound. I have checked all volume control sections and mutes etc, its definitely a problem with the software. Also once a movie plays through, or if I try and use the play controls, other than initially pressing play, the player crashes and have to go to task manager to close it properly. The same occurs when you try and close the program.
    I was going to uninstall and try again, but I was worried this might cause problems with the Quicktime Pro info.
    Anyone else had these problems or have any advice.
    pc amd 2.8   Windows 2000  

    I'm also having sound problems with Quicktime v7.1 Pro. If I play a .swf file in Quicktime, the video and audio play great. If I play an .avi file, the video plays but there is no sound. If I play a .mov created by Camtasia Studio using either the default compression or the H.264 compression format, the video plays but there is no sound. The graphic display indicates that the audio is present in all cases.
    Is there an issue with this new version of Quicktime Pro v7.1?
