Distroted sound with laptop expresscard soundcard

So I'm on a dell XPS 530m (about 2 years old) and I finally gave up on the internal sound (the buzz drove me crazy) and now I'm using a creative extreme audio notebook soundcard though my laptop's expresscard slot. Normally it runs just fine, sounds a lot better too, but sometimes it starts producing with distorted sound. ?
The sound problem normally happens when I'm playing a flash game in firefox, but I've had it happen with itunes before as well. It plays the right sounds (so it plays music of sound effects from the game) but it's badly distorted, it sounds like a really crappy recording and has a nasty metallic ring to it. Weird thing is that it goes away after a while and appears to only effect one program at a time. I've had times where the flash game sounds terrible but with itunes playing at the same time it sounds fine, and if I paly the game long enough the sound goes back to being normal. ?
The soundcard drivers are all updated, I have disabled the onboard sound card of my laptop though the device manager and disabled all other inputs and outputs on the soundcard that I'm not using (so I only have the single headphone jack enabled). Any ideas what the problem could be? From my research it could be a ground loop, but I'm not sure that fits, any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm a newbie on Arch. I have almost in the same situation of hecateluna (mine is a X61 tablet). The same commands give the same outputs. No error messages but no sound. Using the mute, vol-up, vol-down, didn't work and I have searched the web for a solution. The most specific post about sound (for Ubuntu) is this:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installin … blet#Sound
But I have all the packages already installed and modules loaded. I really didn't know what can be wrong. Any help or pointer to a solution is really appreciated.
Cheers,
Offray

Distorted sound with mountain lion.Is there any solution?

i have distorted sound with a usb soundcard since i upgrade mountain lion.. Any idea?

Once you get straightened out consider backing up via a bootable clone. It can solve a lot of problems.

[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:

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:

No Sound with Flash 10

Hi,
I'm back with a new problem. On a Gateway laptop running Windows XP, I have no sound with Flash. Sounds are coming through on Media player and with web sites home page. When I play a you tube vid or email vid there is no sound? ????
Thanks for your help.

I did the ten step codec cleaning, I think you posted that originally if not
I'll dig up the link, sorry I'm at work. After that I ran malwarebytes (no
malware), then I accessed the audio properties under the control panel and
monkeyed with them, they'd been changed to modem#0 from my normal semantec
harware. I changed that and rebooted and everything was seemingly okay.
However, the little speaker icon had disappeared from the tray about the
same time my audio problems had started and has never returned so there may
be deeper issues.
Here<http://www.codecguide.com/fix_for_flash_sound_problems.htm> is
the codec link I was referring to. Hope this helps. D

HDMI no sound with Windows 7 upgrade

I am unable to get sound with HDMI , but visual is working, after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7. G70 series laptop, s/n 2CE92870KS.
Under control panel/device manager/display adapters, what is listed is mobile intel (r) 4 series express chipset family.
Under control panel/device manager/sound video games, what is listed is coexant high definition smart audio 221 and intel high definition audio hdmi.
Under control panel/sound/playback, what is listed is coexant high definition smart audio 221.
I am floundering greatly trying to figure out why the intel high definition audio hdmi is not listed under sound/playback. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi Jim,
Try this to see if it helps. Download the Chipset driver and Graphics driver on the links below and save the installers to your Desktop.
Chipset
Graphics Driver
Next, in Device Manager, open Display Adapters, right click on the Intel graphics chip and select Properties. Click the Driver tab and then select uninstall. When done, do the same for the for the Intel High Definition Audio Codec found under Sound Video and Game Controllers.
Now return to the Desktop and install the Chipset driver and then the Graphics driver. When complete, reboot the PC and see if this has helped. Check in Device Manager that both the Intel Graphics and the Intel Hi Definition Audio codec have reinstalled successfully and whether you now see the HDMI Audio option under playback devices ( found in Control Panel, Sound ) as shown as the top option on the screenshot below ( ignore the fact that it's ATI, i just mean the TV icon option ).
http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w146/rproffitt2000/?action=view&current=7Speakers.png&newest=1
If it shows up correctly, try the HDMI connection and see if it now functions properly.
Best wishes,
DP-K

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:
aplay -l

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.

My Iphone does not want to charge with laptop. What can I do?

Hello,
Last August I bought Iphone 4S and i am currently in another country for the summer and I wont be back until september which meqns my 1 year waranty is over and my Iphone is expreincing problems with speker sound and it wont charge with laptop. I am afraid that if I go to a local apple store they wont accept the Iphone due to the waranty. So what can I do? please help and thank you.

Does the iPhone charge when connected to the power adaptor?
Are you connecting the iPhone direct to a USB port on the computer - not being connected to a USB hub of any kind?
The local Apple Store can and will run a hardware diagnostic on the iPhone to determine if this is caused by a hardware problem at no charge regardless if the iPhone is no longer under warranty and purchased in another country.

5.1 sound with x-fi sound blas

Hi all,i bouhgt an X-fi soundcard together with an logitech 5. system with thx decoder. So this is my problem: My soundcard is connected to the logitech system with an coaxial cable. When i play a dvd with suround sound or a test file i downloaded i dont get suround sound. with the test file i got seperate centre right and left speaker sound but no rear sound and subwoofer sound. on the audio console i selected the passing through mode. Waht else can ai do?Thank you.

Hi,
I don't have an solution, but I have the same Problem. My speaker system is an old DTT2500 (5.) from creative. I have the same issues, left, centre and right speakers are working but no rear speakers! I am very disappointed, because my old soundcard couldn't handle 5. an so I expected this new x-fi music card can handle it. I would like to have creative to tell me what speaker system is required to get 5. (surround) sound with this card!?BTW: Using AC3 (DDS) on the external decoder for DVD's (thru spdif) is working.

HP dv6t come with an expresscard slot?

I was wondering if the HP dv6t quad edition laptops came with an expresscard slot? I'm asking specifically because i was planning on using the laptop in conjunction with a Vidock 4 and a desktop GPU. I'd wanted to take the notebook with me wherever and just come back home and plug in the vidock and play some of the newer games coming out like the upcoming Battlefield 3 and such.
The link to the notebook im looking at is
http://www.shopping.hp.com/series/category/notebooks/dv6tqe_series/3/computer_store?jumpid=in_r329_p...

Only 3rd and 4th gen Intel Core series processor systems support the mSATA accelerator as you wish to use it.
The best option I can give you is to install a 2.5 inch SSD in the regular hard drive slot. A 240 gig would be sufficient and then put a larger drive in an adapter like this. It appears your laptop uses a 12.7 mm optical drive so you should be able to put one of the 2 TB 12.7 mm drives in one of these:

Who uses an optical drive any more anyway?

How to Connect Nokia 2330 Classic with laptop or p...

Hi All
I just bought my new nokia 2330 last week, when i try to connect my 2330 classic with my laptop the phone is not detacting.Pls help me in this regard. We connet 2330 with laptop or pc with cable or not???
- Shree

Hi all.
First and all, be aware that there are dozens of Nokia phones, and all have different specifications. If someone buys a phone to take pictures, then the 2330C is a bad choice. The port that the device has, is not a USB port. It is a Nokia proprietary port for service only.
@shreeg and others with similar issues (altough this is late): check for Bluetooth compatibility first at http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/pc-suites/compatibility-and-download
@mojojo and others with similar issues (altough this is late): troubleshoot your laptop and mobile phone Bluetooth. Check if your BT drivers are compatible with Nokia suites. Test them with other BT devices (i.e. BT headset, other phone). Also test the pairing at a different location. BT is a radio wave based connection which can suffer from external interference caused by other radio waves emitting devices, or by electromagnetic or electrostatic fields nearby (these are caused by almost anything that runs on electric power)
@everyone: my advise is for you to check the following web page for info on device specs http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/matrix_all_1.html to know which type of local connections are available on the devices. It's on the "Local connectivity" section.

If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.

I am trying to connect my Macbook pro 2010 to my Samsung HDTV using a mini display port to hdtv cable. Trying to play a slide show in IPhoto but I only get sound with no picture. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it. Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there. The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple. They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one. From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate. And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one. Try a new one. Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

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.
