Can't save sound with alsa on HDA intel card

Hello,
I just installed arch in this machine and I cannot get sound to function properly.
I have tried using alsactl store but it does no good. After every reboot I need to turn the volume up on the speaker channel within alsa.
Another related note, alsaconf does not exist. A lot of the solutions that I have found involve running that command but it does not exist.
I have install both alsa-lib and asla-utils but alsaconf still does not exist.
Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Ok so I gave that a shot here is the output:
[john@goldfish ~]$ sudo systemctl enable alsa-store.service
[sudo] password for john:
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
[john@goldfish ~]$ sudo systemctl enable alsa-restore.service

  • No sound with ALSA, using an intel sound card

    Hello !
    I have got a problem about sound on my computer. Indeed, my soundcard doesn't seems to be recognize by ALSA. It's weird, I'll show you. Well, my soundcard is :
    lspci | grep Audio
    00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
    Next, my sound modules loaded are
    lsmod | grep snd
    snd_hda_intel 21837 0
    snd_seq_dummy 1479 0
    snd_seq_oss 29240 0

    soundcore 6161 1 snd
    snd_page_alloc 7361 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
    Then, I want sound. I use alsaconf, of course, and I can choose my soundcard in a list (the other choice is "legacy"). I answer yes to the question "Do you want to modify /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf [...] ", and then, during a few seconds :
    Loading driver...
    :: Saving ALSA Levels [BUSY]
    /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1519: No soundcards found... [FAIL]
    It's eerie, I found my card in the list, and then not >_<
    Then, alsamixer say me : "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory".
    Here is my /dev/snd directory :
    lsi /dev/snd
    total 0
    crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 3 Mar 4 15:06 seq
    crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 2 Mar 4 15:06 timer
    /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer don't exist.
    So, to summarize, I finally don't have sound in my computer (I never had since I made it). I also tried using OSS, but it didn't work as well.
    So I need you help, if you need some more informations, I can get them. Thank you very much !

  • 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.

  • No sound: alsa snd-hda-intel macbook pro

    I can't get sound to work on my macbook pro and I'd appreciate some advice.  lspci shows the following soundcard:

    According to the alsa sound card matrix, this card uses the snd-hda-intel module.  I've followed the alsa article at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA.  Here's what I'm seeing:

    According to the wiki article, there should be controlC0 and pcmC0D0p devices under /dev/snd.  I think the module isn't being installed correctly.
    My system is a 2nd generation macbook pro.  I've read that support for my card was recently added to alsa.  I've had sound working under gentoo and debian by compiling snd-hda-intel statically into kernel 2.6.21.  Can anyone give me advice on how to get this working? 
    BTW, I'm new to Arch, and I'm really impressed with it so far.  Apart from sound, everything has worked well.

    I'll give kamikaze-sources a try.  Thanks.  What exactly is kamikaze-sources?  Neither the AUR page or the homepage (http://kamikaze.waninkoko.es) really explains it.
    Has anyone gotten this this sound card to work in Arch and what exactly did you have to do?  Unless kamikaze-sources is really easy to install, I'll probably just compile a custom kernel.

  • [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

  • HT4753 Can auto save work with Photoshop 5.0?

    Can auto save work with Photoshop 5.0?
    [email protected]

    No. Autosave/Versions must be built into the app itself to use those OS features. It doesn't work just because it's part of the OS. None of the CS6 apps support it, either. The only Adobe apps that do are the latest versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements. And that's only because the have to in order to be allowed in the App Store. In both cases, Adobe also gives users a preference to turn it off.
    What Adobe did do in Photoshop CS6 is add an autosave feature of their own. It saves your work according to whatever time increment you choose. Then if the app crashes, it will try to reopen the saved data when you relaunch the app.

  • 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:

  • 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.

    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.

  • [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] 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

  • 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?

  • Photoshop Elements 13 (Mac) Organizer - Can't save file with version sets.

    I have spent many hours now trying to get Elements Organizer to save Version Sets when I've edited a photo. I've tried more or less every little thing you can find online without any luck. But just moments ago I found that if I move the file to my desktop everything works just fine. I then tried to edit files in a few other folders (also imported to my Organizer) and found that when ever the folder was named to something with a nordic letter in it (å, ä, ö) then I couldn't save my file with version sets (option greyed out) but if I moved that same file to another folder, well then everything worked as it's suposed to.
    I'm using the trial version of PSE 13 for Mac (Yosemite) and the full version is ordered and on it's way. But if this problem can't be fixed, I need to return that order and buy some other photo editing program.
    Can anyone help me with this problem? Is there perhaps a solution to this?
    Please, any help is much appreciated!

    I'm using the English version (as more or less always - Swedish is rarely an option). The thing is that I have never encountered this problem before in any other software I've been using, and certainly not in Aperture that I've been using up until now.
    I name my photo folders with a date and a few words, for ex. "2014-12-31 New Years in Stockholm" (but I normally write in Swedish). I use this method so that my folder that contains the original photos will be easy to find in even without any other software than Finder (or Windows Explorer if I connect my external drive to a Windows machine). I could change the name of all of my folders, or at least all of the folders with a name containing one or more of the letters Å, Ä or Ö to "force" PSE to work as it should, but why? This really shouldn't be a problem.
    I was hoping that their was a simple option or something like that that could fix this issue, but I guess not.
    If this problem lies in the software itself I will have to return it and look elsewhere (but where? Lightroom is certainly not an option if Adobe can't handle "normal" letters and Aperture is discontinued in a few months).
    Thank you for your reply!

  • Can't save image with Photoshop.

    We do often have a issue where we can not save the open image in Photoshop CS 6. To this day the problem appears when the image contains Adjustments Layers with Layer Masks.
    It does not matter if we try to save the image locally or on a network volume, we do only get a prompt telling us there is a Program Error. Trying to save as TIFF with layers instead of the preferred PSD format
    does not make any difference also.
    If we create a new image and copy all layers with masks and all the photoshop paths, this image can be saved and the original image can also be saved if we do a flattening prior to saving.
    I do believe this is a bug in photoshop and has nothing to do with corrupted images or other computer related issues. We are working with Macintosh and experience this problem in both Mac OS 10.8.5 and 10.9.3

    JPG compression does not support transparency, I think you
    have to convert it to png of gif first.

  • Can't save file with futura font?

    Hi
    I'm having a problem saving a file that contains the futura font. This is a font my company had to buy. I never had a problem with CS1 or CS2 using this font.
    Once I place the font in the document it will let me save it once. After making changes and trying to save again I get a window that simply says "can't save file". I've tried unchecking the pdf compatible option and the compression option with no change.
    I found one thread on this site about clearing out the font cache (by deleting the file C:\windows\system32\FNTCACHE.dat) and that didn't make a difference.
    When I'm done with the document I'll be converting the text to outlines but I need a fix will I'm working on the doc.
    Thoughts?

    Mike,
    Glad you got it sorted out. After I sent you back the regenerated fonts, I discovered something which I'm posting here for everyone's benefit.
    Myle nailed it when he suggested an "an issue with font embedding." The fonts you sent me were all embedding-restricted. It's possible you could have saved your documents had you turned off the PDF compatibility option, but it's moot now.
    It's doubtful the fonts I regenerated for you will solve the problem because putting them through my font editor did not remove the embedding restriction. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that your replacement fonts do not have embedding restriction.
    To check for the embedding restriction, you don't need a fancy program. Just download this Windows extension from Microsoft and install it. Then, right-click | Properties on any font file will give you a lot more information about that font, including licensing/embedding restrictions.
