Gnome3 / Pulseaudio sound problem FIXED

Hello,
I can't get sound working. I can see that the mic capts sounds but nothing more.
My sound card appears in alsamixer and with lsmod|grep snd

I have to admit I'm a bit annoyed that Pulse Audio has to be installed to use Gnome 3... That was the main thing that drove me away from ubuntu. I've ran my Arch machines for over a year with no pulse, and I really don't see the use for it. This is the one thing that is making me consider not using Gnome 3.

L505D-S5983 Sound Problem/Fix

Hi,
Have had the PC for about a month. Really like it! Good price $399 at Best Buy!
Started having Audio problems. Sound would stop emit a loud static sound then start working OK.
Tried many of the suggestions on this forum but none helped.
I started noticing that if music was playing and the PC started taxing the CPU (Running other applications), the problem would come back.
I had recently installed the CA Internet Suite that Roadrunner offers. I remembered that this application seemed to be a resource hog on our desktop. I uninstalled it, loaded Avast and the problem has not come back. I ended up with the Micro$oft driver installed after troubleshooting. Unless I have any further issues, I will leave it as is.
Hope this helps others!

ps hp if you keep ignoring the users and not fixing the driver then people wont buy from you oh and its been sence july get your thing right...

Possible Sound Problem Fix

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but here goes:
I had a system that I had built for a client using a K7N2G motherboard.
The system exhibited a pulsing sound from the speakers when using DirectX based games (played normal windows sounds throught the Wave Mapper fine).
I found that by going into 'Control Panel', double clicking on 'Sounds and Multimedia', selecting the 'Audio' tab, clicking the 'Advanced' button under the 'Sound Playback' section, going to the 'Performance' tab in the new window, and then changing the sample rate conversion from 'Good' to 'Best' completely eradicated the problem.
Hope this helps someone!
Craig

Are you using the default tone or a custom tone? Is the tone saved to phone memory? The tone used should be in phone memory.
On a side note, have you checked if there is available firmware updates for your phone? You can check this using Ovi Suite on your PC or Nokia Software Updater on your PC.

IPod Touch 3rd gen sound problem - fixed? - iOS 5.1

Hello -
Since updating my iPod Touch 3rd generation to iOS 5.1, the sound quality has decreased dramatically. The problem was only in my headphone jack, regardless of headphone or earbud type. The symptom was hard to describe: some songs had decreased bass, other songs sounded fine but with very quiet vocals.
I'm an engineer and these seemed like "digital" problems to me, so if it wasn't for a friend suggesting I test the problem with different headphones-vs-jack-vs-internal speaker, the thought never would have occurred to me:
There was a tiny bit of lint in the headphone jack. I unfolded a paper clip, carefully picked out and blew away the lint.
So far, the solution appears to be working.
I still don't understand how those symptoms would be caused by a connectivity problem in the jack. Perhaps the jack's extra terminal (used for things like volume control and song-change) was being shorted, just slightly, wreaking havoc elsewhere in the iPod.
(This was after trying all sorts of stuff, including a complete system "wipe" and restore.)

Yes. Other uses have experienced the same cause and corrective acition. That being foreign material n the headphone jack.

Alsa sound problem(FIXED)

I have been using gentoo for a while with sound working perfectly, i just installed archlinux today and i moved my kernel source over to my archlinux drive and compiled it with the same config everything seems to work fine. i installed alsa-utils and alsa-oss, ran alsaconf, unmuted the chanels in alsamixer, added myself(root for now) to the audio group, made alsa start at boot, and checked that all modules for my soundcard are loaded, but i still cant hear any sound it works fine in gentoo im really puzzled with this. any help would be greatly appriciated.

Don't use alsaconf - remove the lines that alsaconf added in /etc/modprobe.conf...
Udev should be able to setup the soundcard(s) by itself.

Sound Problems on iPad: how to fix, easy [video]

Hi dear iPad user,
Most people will, eventually, have sound problems: the cause can be complex as a 'miss-behaved' app that messes the sound engine or as simple as the iPad being forgotten on Mute/Volume Down.
I used to help family and friends to fix their iPads' sound problems by sending them 'text' instruction steps... lots of times they ended up calling me on the phone...
So I made a video (short: 1m40s):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjBP-Ncj_fE
It shows:
how to unmute the sound (even if the side-switch locks the rotation of the screen)
how to put volume up
how to close all the apps (in the case there is an App messing with the sound system)
how to reboot the iPad (ultimatelly fixes hard cases of messed sound system)
What it won't fix: if you have a hardware problem...
If you do all the steps and you get NO SOUND AT ALL, please, try also checking if you car listen sounds using a HEADPHONE (you know are working conditions). If you can listen to sounds in the headphone but no sound at all in the iPad's built in speaker, well, there might be a hardware problem and you should look for help on an Apple Retail Store or other official technical support available at your location.
Hope this helps!
Everson.

UPDATE: fixing iPad Sound after iOS 7
http://youtu.be/SDf1LDcE95Q
(1min 36sec)
It covers the basics:
checking side-switch / mute / "Control Center"
volume all up
...and also the worst cases:
closing all apps (for rare cases when a single app might render the sound system instable)
rebooting the iPad
So, don't get desparete: try the things in the video.
There are people who reported having forgotten an audio-bluetooth connection activated with a turned-off sound-system or speakers... or forgot Air-Play turned on... so be sure you disengage bluetooth and/or airplay.
On the 'hardware side', dirty dock connector (30 pin) can make the iPad 'think' it is connected to external audio - if so, cleaning it with a dry toothbrush can fix. Also, moisture in the headphones connector can make the iPad switch to 'headphones' even without headphones connected, making it silent: check if you can hear things with headphones plugged in - if so, try gently inserting and removing headphones a few times and check if you get sound back to iPad's speakers alone.
Good luck to everybody! Audio problems are quite common - fontunately they are easy to fix.

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

HOW DO I FIX SOUND PROBLEMS ON MY IPOD TOUCH?

How do i fix sound problems on my ipod touch?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

[SOLVED] Gnome3 + Pulseaudio?

Hey guys,
I've been trying for days to get pulseaudio to work in Gnome3... It doesn't seem to recognize my soundcard. When I run pacman -S gnomemedia-pulse, it asks if I want to replace testing/gnome-media with gnome-media-pulse and testing/gnome-settings-daemon with gnome-settings-daemon-pulse, which are obviously out of date. If I replace it, then booting into Gnome3 gives me a black screen.
If I ignore those 2 packages, I can boot into Gnome3 perfectly, sound just doesn't work
I've got an ASUS Xonar DX. Maybe it's not compatible?
Thanks!
Update:
Woohoo! Guess it wasn't a Gnome3 problem.
sudo modprobe snd-virtuoso got it working.

Uhm... you don't need gnome-media-pulse (which is in extra). Just gnome-media from testing.

Any resolution to the sound problem?

I have been having the same sound problem with my Mid 2010 Mac Pro tower ever since I got it. I have been in touch with Apple and have been told that they are familiar with the problem, but that they are still working on a fix. The problem is that I have external speakers, and every time I shut down and then start up again, I have to go to preferences and physically change the sound output to go to the speakers. I have also been tole that the Mac is supposed to sense the external speakers and go directly to them.
Is there anybody else out there with this problem, and has been able to resolve it?
Thank you.

I have a 2010 Mac Pro and use the stereo line out jack in the back of my machine for my speakers with no problem. I don't recall any problems setting it up. But check the Audio MIDI Setup (in your utilities folder) to see if you can set it from there (should be able to). Not sure why the preference wouldn't stick. And I don't believe there is automatic detection of an attached sound output device where the sound preference switches to that (unless maybe the front jack which I never use).

Pismo Sound Problems after Sleep in Tiger

Hi all. New to the forums and returning to Macs after years of cursing Bill Gates. Picked up a Powerbook Pismo from a friend and have been having some fun with it, but I have one problem I can't solve. I replaced the hard drive (saved the old one) and installed Tiger and 1GB of memory on the machine. All seemed well until I noticed that the sound would not work sometimes after sleeping. The sound will usually return with a reboot, but sometimes I'll have to actually turn the machine off, and clear the PRAM to get the sound to come back. Sometimes, the volume and screen controls will both not work at all (pop up doesn't even appear when the keys are pressed), sometimes it's just that the sound doesn't work, but everything looks right on the screen. I've also had the sound and screen buttons not work only to have pop ups suddenly appear and the adjustments happen several minutes after I pressed the keys. So far I've tried:
Clearing the PRAM
Checked the Pram Battery (ok)
Reinstalled Tiger (Still loses sound)
Downgraded to 10.3 (problem persists, and seems worse)
In system information on Tiger it says "there was an error when retrieving that information" when you click on the sound hardware.
The machine is a 500mhz Pismo with a 48gig drive and 1 gig of Memory (133mhz, would that cause this sort of problem?)
I have not tried going back to OS9 to see if the disappearing sound resolves as I don't currently have an OS9 disk.
This sure seems like a software problem, but I'm starting to wonder. I really like this machine and want to get it to work! Help!

Maxstang, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Did you repair permissions after you installed Tiger? Have you updated Tiger to 10.4.11?
Here's the Sound troubleshooting info in the Pismo Service Manual.
No sound from speaker(s)
1. Verify mute mode is not enabled (F6 on the keyboard).
2. Check the volume setting in the Sound control panel.
3. Verify no external speakers or headphones are plugged in.
4. Reset PRAM.
5. Make sure speaker cable is plugged into sound card.
6. Replace sound card.
7. Replace speakers (part of the top case).
8. Replace I/O logic board
Startup sound is heard, then no sound from speaker(s)
1. Remove sound preferences from System Folder, reset PRAM,
then restart.
2. Perform clean installation of system software.
Had the Pismo previously had OS X installed. There's a firmware update (Boot ROM version 4.1.8) that should be installed prior to installing OS X. However, when I got my Pismo with Tiger installed, the firmware was not updated (have since updated). However, I don't think this could be the cause of your problem, since I had no sound problems when the update was not installed.
The PC133 RAM (which runs at 100MHz) should not be the problem. I have PC133 RAM in my Pismo.
Since you replaced the HD, could you have disturbed the connection to the Sound Card. The Sound Card is located to the upper-right of the HD. Here's a helpful laptop site.

P67a-GD55 sound problem

I noticed today that the left audio channel was noticably quieter than the right. I unplugged the audio cable from the audio port and plugged it back in and it fixed it.
Does this sound like a hardware or software issue?
P67a-GD55
i5-2500k
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600
Asus AMD 6870
650W PSU
WD 6gb/s 500MB HDD
Windows 7 64bit

Hm.. I doubt that was the issue. I was listening to some music and the sound was fine one minute, then the left speaker almost sounded muted the next. I tested the speakers using the windows and realtek control panels (where it plays a tone on each channel), and the left speaker was much quieter.
But when I unplugged it and plugged it in, after getting the jack detection notification, the problem fixed itself.
I'm using the latest drivers on MSI's website.

TS2090 Apple TV mirroring - sound problem. Tried everything. It's ****.

I'm feeling totally exasperated. I've tried every 'solution' to the inherent Apple TV mirroring sound problem. Why don't Apple just fix it?? All I want to do is be able to view my computer video with sound when i want to. I don't feel that I should have to spend up to and over an hour trying repeated combinations of turning things on and off, entering code into Terminal, etc. EVERY TIME THAT I TRY TO MIRROR THROUGH APPLE TV. It's ridiculous, aside from the cost of buying the unit, I had to upload Mountain Lion despite the fact that my new (Early 2012) imac should have been on spec. That took hours and it still doesn't work. Very dissappointed, Apple have lost my brand loyalty for such an obviously fixable thing. ( I don't think that they read these comments). hope this makes you think twice before buying. Yours, m

I found a fix for this problem thanks to a friend of mine who I can only assume did a little research online!!
The problem I had was having AirParrot once installed, and after the recent 10.9.2 update, the third party app messed up the way Mirroring was working..
Here is the fix:
1. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
2. Run these commands respectively:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
This will uninstall kernel extensions related to AirParrot. Other solutions around the web being posted are missing the extensions within /Library/Extensions.
3. Enter your administrative password when prompted.
4. Restart your computer.
I tried it once again and it worked like a dream!!!
Here is the article for reference:

Many Thanks for all who tried to help, and especially Wasim!!
Hope this helps anyone with the same problem in the future!!
