Help Getting Sound Card To W

I just installed my sound card and installed the driver. And the sound was working for a few minutes, but now that I restard my computer the sound does not work anymore. I have tried disabling the motherboard sound from the BIOS. I have made sure that it is not muted and the speakers are powered and plugged in. I can't figure out why it isn't working.
Help would be great. Thanks.

is the sound totally gone, or if you really crank up your stereo and the voluem sliders in windows, can you hear it a little bit's

I need help getting sound to come out of my TV when using HDMI. Any solutions?

I'm able to pull up my picture when connecting my HDMI cable to my Macbook pro...however I can't get the sound to come out of my Toshiba TV. When I go under system preferences, then sound and select my Toshiba TV as an option. It says it has no output controls. I fiddled with my sound setting in my TV and stil no luck. Does anyone know any solutions for this problem. Help is greatly appreciated.

Hey jbarwins
Check to make sure that you are up to date on your computer. Another recommendation would be to try a different cable and also reset the NVRAM on your computer.

HELP....need a good sound card that works with Windows 7 64 bit

I've searched the internet and I'm seeing that folks are struggling with getting sound cards to work with Windows 7 (particularly the 64 bit systems). I know there are stability issues with the 64 bit system but I'm looking to install a decent sound card to improve stereo sound from my HP Pavilion (h8-1260t). The onboard sound is OK, but I'm looking for higher fidelity and the shortcomings of the stock sound chip is noticeable when played through my hi fi system. Don't really need 'surround sound' (I'm not a gamer) but I'm assuming any card that comes with this feature will also produce a quality stereo signal. I also like to archive music from steaming sources and have found a significant loss of sound quality once the track is saved. I'm assuming a good sound card will help with this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Spauld, welcome to the forum.
I suggest finding a sound card that you like and contacting the manufacturer's Customer Service to assure its compatibility with Win7 64-bit. They are the experts on their products. While I am not a fan of dedicated sound cards because their drivers are conflict prone, I would buy a Creative Soundblaster. They have been proven over time.

Ok it seems that I would have no sound cards listed by aplay -l if I logged in from lightdm, If I logged in from a tty I would get sound cards listed from aplay -l.
I think lightdm 1:1.6.1-2 fixed my problem, everything works now, Id like to know why/how this happened if anyone knows? Thanks.

Can't find sound card driver for Satellite L40-12K

I cant find driver in Toshiba support site for this model but Google help me well.
Only the sound card driver I cant find anywhere.
Please help me
Sound card (82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller)
Thanks

Drivers for all supported operating systems are available on Toshiba download page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Your Satellite is old notebook model and you will find it in ARCHIVE. Please note: your model is PSL40E model.
Which operating system do you use?

I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?

I am getting no signal to my dj mixer using m-audio firewire audiophile sound card connected to my mac book pro using Traktor Dj software can anyone help?
The firewire port reads the dj software and I can hear music playing through the sound card when I plug my headphones into it but there is no signal to the hardware (my dj mixer).
I have reset the firewire by turning off my mac book pro for a few hours and can see the sound card device in the fire wire section after clicking on the apple icon on the top left corner of my mac.
My dj mixer works on another mac computer with the same soundcard and different firewire cable.
Hope someone can help
Thanks

kmiddlet88,
yes, it could be due to nearly anything listed in your kernel extensions, startup items, launch daemons, launch agents, or user items above. Please check all of your installed third-party software to make sure that the versions which are installed on your MacBook Pro are compatible with Mavericks; uninstall every software package which isn’t Mavericks-compatible. After you’ve done that, boot into Safe mode, and see if you still get the beach ball of doom there. If it doesn’t appear there, restart normally and see if it appears then.

Hi, I'm running Logic Pro 8 with an audiophile sound card. I have my keyboard midi-ed into the sound card and obviously plugged into the computer. I can't get any input into the computer though. Nothing registers when I play. Output is fine. Any help? Tha

Hello,
My midi keyboard isn't registering on Logic Pro 8 and I can't work out why. It's all plugged up correctly. The sound card outputs fine - I can hear what I've previously recorded but can't input any more. Any help gratefully received.
Stephen.

Hi, thanks for reply. I was running Logic Express but upgraded. Now I seem to have problems. I have latest drivers for my audiophile. The operating system is 10.4.11. The keyboard just doesn't seem to register - in or out. I've spent hours on the environment, trying to decide which of the conflicting video tutorials to follow......

Unable to get upmixing to work with USB 5.1 sound card

Hello!
I'm having some trouble with an USB 7.1 sound-card that I want to use for my 5.1 sound system.
The sound-card is connected to my Lenovo Thinkpad T400 via docking staton on USB.

So I put this into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:
options snd_slots=snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel
options snd_usb_audio index=0
options snd_hda_intel index=1
to always get a correct sound device order.
When I then - after reboot - play music, It works only on the two front-speakers. All other speakers - rear and center - are dead.
But when I invoke speaker-test with
$ speaker-test -c6 -D surround51
speaker-test 1.0.27.2
Playback device is surround51
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels

Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)

0 - Front Left
4 - Center
1 - Front Right
3 - Rear Right
2 - Rear Left
5 - LFE
Time per period = 14.569581
all speakers make a noise when they are shown during the test correctly.
In the wiki, I tried some examples on the configuration of ~/.asoundrc as described, but none of them worked - everything I specify there is effectles, even after reboot.
What I've tried so far in ~/.asoundrc (without success):
pcm.dsp {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix"
pcm.upmix51 {
type upmix
slave.pcm "surround51"
delay 15
channels 6
pcm.!default "plug:upmix51"
pcm.upmix71 {

type asym
playback.pcm {
type dmix
ipc_key 567829
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
channels 6
pcm.!default "plug:dmix6"
So what am I doing wrong?

Hello there!
In the german forum, I found some more help.
This configuration now got 5.1 sound mixing to work via ALSA (without using PulseAudio).
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd_hda_intel index=-2
options snd_usb_audio index=-1
$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default
type plug
slave.pcm "surround51"

But this doesn't solve all my problems.
I'm still searching for a way of how to use the internal intel sound card as default PCM device if the USB sound is unplugged or not available during boot.

Thanks Harm for the prompt reply, nice one!
Sound Card is a "Realtek High Definition Audio"

It was shipped with this Dell PC.
I checked the driver was up to date etc. So not sure what to do now.

Sound card is messed up needs help!

Okay, one day I was out of the house and my brother used my computer. I came back and my sound card is not working at all. He told me he was only playing Team Fortress 2 but I think he's lying. He did something that made the sound not work. When I restart my computer the sound does work for a while but then in 5 minutes or less it just suddenly makes a painful ticking noise and jsut sto
ps.
I try to go in open volume mixer or playback devices but they dont open or they just freeze and i have to use task manager to close the windows.
If I have my speakers turned off or my headphones unplugged the sound blaster is okay, it only freezes up when sound is played, and when frozen, it stays broken until i restart the computer. Sometimes when I restart it already doesnt work or when I try to shut the computer down it says the system cant shut down because it says its currently playing logoff sound so i have to end program to turn it off, and sometimes the computer doesnt shut down! It turns the moniter and mouse off, but the computer is still on and I have to hold the power button to turn it off. I reinstalled a fresh Windows Vista Ultimate hoping that would fix the problem but it still does the same, so its prabably not a software program, its the sound card or probably the moherboard. I have a HP computer with PCI-E Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio and have the latest drivers. Someone please help me I might need sound for an online summer coarse!

'Re: Sound card is messed up needs help!y someone2,
Here are links to some threads on similar questions with some troubleshooting you can try. You may find more using the Forums search function. Checking that Windows Audio is started and set to Automatic is simple in XP, but Vista may differ. If you can run msconfig, disable everything on the Startup tab, and see if you get stable sound. If so, then enable items one at a time until the problem returns.

Help! Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card -

Hello. I've just recieved my new soundcard. It is the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7. Sound Card - OEM. (Located here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...atid=&subcat=)
My motherboard is a Asus A8N SLi se.
Now, I have put it in my motherboard, and just tried to install the drivers. I got an error though. It said "No compatible creative product detected." So I downloaded the drivers off the Creative site, and that did not help either. I disabled the onboard sound in the BIOS, and yet it still did not work. I tried plugging in the soundcard into each of the soundcard ports on my motherboard, and none of them detected the card.
I am sick of using onboard, and would like to get this problem fixed.
Some additional information:
The back audio/microphone ports on my motherboard never worked. I have been using the front sockets on my case. I see cables running from my motherboard to the front of my case. Maybe one of those cables need to go into my soundcard in order for it to work? I'm not sure which though, so I didn't try it, just incase.
Here are some screenshots of what I'm getting. They might help.

Now, I have no other creative parts in my computer. So this should be the soundcard, right?
Thanks in advanced for any replies.

Does the cable from the MB to the front I/O panel simuliar to this one? I installed a Audigy2 ZS in my other system and connected the black cable with the 0 pin connector to the card to use my front phone/mike jacks. Also in your device manager I see the Realtek AC97 still listed. When I installed the XM card in my 600 I disabled it in the BIOS so the entry does not show up in mine just the SB XF-I is displayed.

Trying to get my sound card to work with ArchLinux

Okay, let me tell you my problem. I'm still somewhat of a noob when it comes to linux so don't be hard on me . And, yes that's half of my problem, anyways I've got a sound card called the Soundblaster X-FI USB and I've been trying it to get it to work with the alsaconf command which hasn't worked of course Let me point out that whenever I use my backup flashdrive with PuppyLinux it the Alsaconf inside of it see's the card that I'm using and automatically sets it up.. Plus whenever I type the ' cat /proc/asound/cards ' command I get this..
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xefffc000 irq 21
1 [S51 ]: USB-Audio - SB X-Fi Surround 5.1
Creative Technology SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 at usb-0000:00:1d.2-2, full speed
*(The first one being my dead onboard audio)
So please help me out here I really want to have sound again and hey maybe I'll learn something new about linux!

there's some experimental driver that maybe makes it work with alsa, see here:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … &px=Njc3NQ
My card is a USB which isn't compatible with the driver that they include. So no help there ;(. I've loaded Ubuntu recently and it has worked perfectly with my soundcard (Creative X-FI USB Surround 5.1) right out of the box. I personally think there has to be a way to get it to work in Archlinux since it worked in Ubuntu...
Although. I suppose I could just use Ubuntu but I'm more of a fan of Arch. So does anyone have any idea what Ubuntu used as in drivers wise to get my card to work in linux??
