No mixer device

I recently had to format my hard dri've. Im trying to re-install my Audigy2 platinum ex sound card but to no avail. Im running win Xp SP2 Home Edition. I have downloaded all the drivers from the website and the installation went smooth. But when I try to play something I get the error message no mixer device installed. I looked in device Managerand the drivers are loaded. I looked in the sound and audio devices and it show no audio device loaded. On the hardware tab it show the card is loaded but says there are problems. Ive switched PCI slots and got the same thing. I have know clue what to do now. I know for a fact the card is still functional I just cant get it loaded. Thanks in advance

I checked the WIndows audio service and it was started and set to automatic. Before yesterday I was using the downloaded drivers from creative website. I then found my installation cd and tried that. Still no dice. I used the creative diagnostic tool and it passed the hardware detecting, direct3d sound and soundfont tests, but it failed the wave, midi, mixer and mixer settings tests. I also was curios and looked in device manager and clicked on the creative audio driver. Then I clicked on properties. It shows audio devices, midi devices and mixer devices. It says on all of them that the driver is loaded but not functioning properly. I still at a loss!

Sound card has no Mix device. Can alsa simmulate one?

Hey,
As the subject says, my sound card
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
doesn't have a "Mix" device from which to record "what-you-hear" sound. I've read into the subject, and keep seeing Pulse mentioned. However, I'd like to avoid switching to Pulse, if at all possible. Is alsa capable of creating a "virtual mix device" or some such contraption?

After spending a whole bunch of time, I was able to create a hardware loopback using ALSA that allows recording all of "what-you-hear".
Like most modern motherboards, mine also had a "HDA Intel" audio controller, but that's only half the hardware. You should also have a "codec" chip that the HDA Intel chip controls.
My codec chip is a Realtek ALC662. So it all started by using some google-fu to download the PDF datasheet for this chip. Looking at the block diagram in that document showed that there were indeed "virtual wires" that connected the audio outputs (play) back to the audio inputs (capture).
Downloading, compiling, and firing up the "hda-analyzer" program showed that those "virtual wires" simply were not turned on. So I used that same program to "connect" the wires, unmute some of the newly connected nodes, then messed with alsamixer until it all worked.
The "hda-analyzer" program has a great feature that can create a Python script of the changes you've made. This is super because your changes will disappear on a reboot (unless you jump through even more hoops).
I found that sometimes if I left the hardware loopback device connected for a somewhat long period of time, a minor "hummmm..." could be heard from my speakers when no music was playing. So I'm totally guessing this is the reason why the ALSA developers don't have this loopback "wired" by default. So I simply created one Python script that turns on the loopback, and then another that turns it off.
Anyway, it works great, and if you're lucky (your codec chip has virtual "loopback" wires), and you roll up your sleeves and get really, really "dirty" in the ALSA and audio hardware mud, you just may be able to do the same thing on your system.

[SOLVED] Missing mixer device in /dev/snd??

I'm trying to get the gkrellm volume plugin working. When I try to configure it, the plugin can't find any mixer devices. My next step was to check the plugin source which notes that "enable_alsa=1" should be an argument to make. Since this wasn't in the PKGBUILD script, I added it and rebuilt the package. After updating and installing, I restarted gkrellm, but was still unable to locate a mixer. Since sound is working just fine, i started digging deeper.

I've been unable to locate a snd_mixer module for the kernel and there is no /dev/snd/mixerC?D?
I thought that the ALSA interface had changed since I last compiled from scrath (I was a Slacker from kernel 1.2 until I migrated to Ubuntu, and now to Arch), but according to http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … ibrary_API, /dev/snd/mixerCXDX is still part of the interface specification.
Did I miss an ALSA pacakage that's required to get /dev/snd/mixerCXDX?
Or has the ALSA implementation changed (/dev/snd/mixerCXDX deperecated), in which case the gkrellm plugin needs to be updated? Google didn't turn up anything definitive and the alsa-driver-1.0.2 source tarball doesn't include a changelog.
Thanks!

That's what I was afraid of. I switched to Ubuntu at Dapper Drake, so I've not been up to speed with the details of program changes the way I was with Slackware. I don't want to install the OSS layer only for the sake of a volume widget.
Thanks for the reply. I'm taking a look at Conky now as a potential replacement for gkrellm, since it hasn't been updated in years.

Couldn't open mixer device /dev/audioctl

I have just installed Solaris10 x86 OS on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop, everything seesm to work fine but I have no audio. The volume control icon on the panel says > no audio device and when I click on it I get an error dialog saying> Couldn't open mixer device /dev/audioctl
I have downloaded the Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0, audio810 and audiovia823x from the Sun website and installed them but no use, I also installed the audio drivers from the http://www.tools.de/solaris/audio/ website > audio1371, audioemu, audioi810, audiovia8233 but nothing.
Could anyone please advise me how I can get the audio working.
Thanks,

Tvtime has no sound: no 'mixer' device in /etc? [~SOLVED]

Hi everybody
Every audio app were workin fine in this location up to 1 or 2 days ago.
Got latest Alsa & edited /etc/modprobe.conf accordingly to alsa wikki a long time ago, removing anything but those lines:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
As of today, bmp, amarok, opera, mplayer have sound as allways, but tvtime has none (and that came out just in time for my single favorite tv show, you know that :cry: ) :
Running tvtime 1.0.1.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/kozaki/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
mixer: Can't open device /dev/mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable.
tvtime uses '/dev/mixer:line' by default:
option name="MixerDevice" value="/dev/mixer:line"/
And may use some others like 'pcm', 'vol', etc.
But it worked fine until 1 or 2 days ago, & I did not edit tvtime conf file since months !?
What I found is there's no 'mixer' device in /etc :
[root@llewellyn kozaki]# find /etc -name "mixer*"
[root@llewellyn kozaki]#
any clue about that pliz ?

unmuted 'Line' in alsamixer and TV sound is back ...even if tvtime shows same warning message
mixer: Can't open device /dev/mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable.
OK i get it clearer now : sound comes directly to/from the 'In' jack on my mobo integrated sound chip, so I have no control on it (like with an audio CD plugged directly to the sound card I guess).
That was most probably /me having played with alsamixer #-|
Uh, what is that still absent 'mixer' device supposed to do anyway ?

Mixer device install???? pavilio dv8000 could someone help me? need it for audio ..

I have a problem is that my pavilio hp dv8000 and installed on the train all right drivers and everything but do not want to listen to the audio and tell me when looking to install the mixer device can someone help me I can do ?????

The log you posted is not a crash log but a console log. Crash logs are found in the CrashReporter section of the Console utility's data. You also need to tell us whether you are experiencing a crash or a kernel panic. And, you need to provide more information on what you are doing when the crash occurs, what applications you are running, etc.
I would also suggest you try booting into Safe Mode and operating for a while to see if the crashes stop. If they do then that indicates a problem within your Home folder.
It would also be useful to boot up with none of the applications running that you normally use. Then run only one of your applications at a time to see if crashes occur. This may help narrow down the problem to a specific application.

Audigy 2 Platinum: Software/mixing/device switch

Hi.
I'm not sure if I still have the CD, and I can't seem to find the creative mixing software. I need it because my mic uses phantom power (and the larger mic jack), so I need to use the front mic port. Where can I got the original software, or how can I switch the input otherwise?

Visit?http://badboy.hub.io/?and download the ISO image.

No active mixer devices found - lost my sound on Sat Pro A100

I need advice/help on how i can restore my sound,
I have a Sat Pro A100 series PSAACE-007002EN and have lost my sound. I may have deleted this upon doing an AOL spyware check and didn't give me the option to backup the file.
All I have is the sound start up for windows and if i'm on msn and i get prompted to talk then that sound is given, too. I have lost the notification sound to my aol login/log off and email notification. I cannot hear sound playing my music either.

HI Wisam,
You will need to re-install your sound device/drivers. You may find them on your Tools and Utilities CD (if you have one) or alternatively you can download the appropriate drivers (there are different ones depending on which model of notebook you have) from the Toshiba download site :-

Audigy 2 value: No active mixer devices availa

My Specs:
Windows XP Pro
SP (SP2 disables many of my App's)
AMD Athlon XP 800+ .49 GHz
52 mb Ram

Here is the problem. I purchased the Audigy 2 Value card, because I simply wanted to upgrade my sound capabilities.
I think that I am a pretty competent computer geek.
I've done all the uninstalling and deleting and registry cleaning, disabling the onboard sound chips in the Bios, and pretty much everything that Creative, and Microsoft say's need to be done when installing a new sound card.

The problem is that everything in the system acknowledge's that there is a new sound card installed, but when you try to get sound or go into the Control panel to the "Sounds and Audio devices" No devices are shown thus I cannot manipulate volume, recording, midi etc.....


I really hope that someone else has gone through this and now has a solution to this problem.

Is it me, Is it the Card, or Is it in the system?
I thank you all now for your wise advice in the future.

Vondo333Message Edited by Vondo333 on -04-2005 08:36 PM


Hi All, I think that I'll reiterate my problem.
st I have done all the uninstalling and deleting before installing the Audigy 2 Value that is logically expected. When I was done installing and restarted I didn't see the speaker icon pop up in the toolbar area so I went to "Control Panel, System Info Area", and open Device Manager, went to "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers". Opened "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)" to Properties. It say's that the device is working properly. So I go to "Sounds and Audio Devices" in the Control Panel. Click the Volume tab and it say's "No Audio Device". Go to the Audio tab, and it says under each item "No Playback Devices, No Recording Devices, No MIDI Playback Devices". I go to the Voice tab and it says "No Playback Devices". I go to the Hardware tab, and click the "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)". It says "This device is working properly".

I think that by now you get the idea. I'm not getting any sound at all, but everything in the computer that I am aware of indicates that the "Device is working properly". I've tried forcing a manual install of the drivers, but no success. Creative apparently knows nothing about fixing this problem, because I haven't been able to get any answers from them.
Can anyone help?

No active mixer devices, no sound, no audio devices

HP Pavilion dv5000, Windows XP Home Edition pre-installed. Have searched all over; seems to be a common problem but none of the available solutions I could find have worked (save for system restore, to which I haven't yet resorted).

This may be an old reply, but I wouldn't advise a system restore. Tech support told my friend to do this with his laptop and it never worked the same again, i.e. made the situation worse. He was trying to get a high spec game to play better, but after tech supports suggestion of system restore no game worked, i.e. were so slow that were un playable.
hope this helps for the future.....

How do I use 2 Core Audio devices at the same time in Logic w/out switching

Hello, I use the Aardvark Direct Mix usb3 as my audio interface for mic and guitar. I just upgraded to Logic Pro 7 today and was hoping someone could tell me how I could use the Built-in Audio Core Audio driver along with the Direct Mix USB Core Audio Driver at the same time without having to switch Core Audio Driver's and than rebooting Logic. It is very frustrating doing that as well as not being able to hear my Logic audio during playback/record mode when I am trying to record via the USB3. WHat can I do? Thanks! If ther are both core audio, why can I not just use both of them at the same time? Why must a switch back and forth? Thanks!
[email protected]

THanks everyone! awsome article! Thanks for posting it, nh!
The weird thing is, once I go up to the Menu and select Open Aggregate Device Editor in the AUDIO/MIDI setup utility and try to add a new Aggregate Device setup (step # 6 from the link), the only audio device available is the "Built-in Audio". What's weird is when I have the main Audio MIDI Setup utility open, every single drop-down menu/tab has the "Direct Mix USB 3 1.0.9.1" device right beneath the "Built-in Audio" option. To me that says that the core audio device is indeed recognized by my computer (obviously since I can record with it using Logic). Can anyone help me with this one? Any suggestions?
Not that it should matter but, the hardware audio interface that I am using is made by the no-longer-existant company once known as Aardvark. I actually had to purchase a third party Core Audio driver just to have it recognized by OS X.
This is the website where I purchased my audio driver :
http://www.usb-audio.com/
A little more on how this device and it's core audio driver function within Logic . . . (Hopefully this might clarify something I may be screwing up) . . .
I launch Logic with its default Built-in Audio which allows playback of audio from the app. I than go up to Audio Hardware and Drivers and than drop the flip down Driver menu down to the second option, "Direct Mix USB 3 1.0.9.1." Logic than prompts me that I should try to (re)launch Logic Pro to load the appropriate CoreAudio.. I do that. Now I am ready to record guitar through the Direct Mix USB3, I just can't hear anything (unless I use head phones as an output from the Direct Mix).
Anyway, you all probably already knew what I meant so explaining that was pointless. But my question is, if the Driver is obviously recognized by my comp in both the Audio MIDI Setup and in Logic, than why won't the Direct Mix device show up as a possibility for setting up an aggregate device? Any suggestions? Thanks!

*FIXED* No sound and 'No Audio Device' in Control Panel. *FIX

I?m having a problem with my sound. Basically all I get is a system sound, which means no sounds from itunes but the error prompt sounds still play. I?m tempted to say that this is a detection issue because of several things:
-First, when looking in the ?sounds and audio devices? in the control panel I get grayed out selections and a ?no audio device?.
-Secondly, when running the directX diagnostic tool (typing ?dxdiag? in the ?run? window) I get several troubling indications. First under device I have no manufacturer or product ID. Second under drivers I have (copied from dxdiag text file):

I have seen another similar post that seemed to have the same problem, but they didn?t provide much information and the fix was to pull out the audio card, run start up, turn it off, and then put it back in and run start up. If this is what needs to be done, could I have a picture or something of what the sound card looks like?
This problem started when I tried to update my sound card and since then my sound has been? possessed? or prone to working at sometimes and then (most of the time)failing at others.

I found that once you reinstall your sound card you need to make sure you hook everything back up correctly.
basically all you need to do is run a start up with your sound card out ofyou computer and then re-run start up with the card back in.

HP Pavilion a1102n sound device.

ok i had this computer for like 3 years now. but i crashed it like week ago. i ordered a recovery disk from HP. after i get the recovery disk i fixed my computer. but i cant hear any sound or talk to anyone from my computer. when i go check my sound device it says i dont have any sound devices(There are no actice mixer deviced avaliable). pleace help me if you can. thanks
Thanks.

sorry this post supposed to be under Dekstop. not notebook.

How to **dramatically** improve mix clarity!!!!

Simple answer:
M I X - O U T - O F - T H E - B O X ! ! ! ! ! !
You need:
1) an audio interface with multiple outputs (at least 8)
2) an analog mixing device: a Dangerous Music 2Bus is great, but also your dusty Mackie 16:2 will do the job. Switch off every EQs, filters and compressors on the analog board and set the faders to 0 db; you only need the summing bus of the mixer.
3) a A/D converter or a DAT machine or an audio interface with good analog inputs.
Send stereo stems of instrument submixes to 4, 8 or 16 Logic stereo outs, according to the number of audiocard outs and mixer ins.
Mono channels will be good for mono instruments: main vocal, kick drum, snare and BASS are my favorite ones to be mixed in mono.
Now you have an analog signal that needs to be re-digitalized.
The best option is to get a A/D converter, such as my Apogee Mini-Me, with USB out. I then use a laptop with Amadeus II to record the 24 bit file.
Here comes the real trick: separate the stems *ONLY AT THE END* of the mix stage, when you feel quite satisfied of the song.
After the separation, you will notice that the Logic Outs that you are using (i.e. 8 stereo outs) are no more close 0 db, but much less, because each out has less sounds summing.
Now RAISE THE MASTER VOLUME, so that the loudest output (usually the kick drum) is about -0.5 db. You will need to lower the master fader of the analog mixer about 3 or 4 db.
Now listen to the analog mix... what a difference! you will likely need to fine tune it, because the improved clarity will reveal many details that got lost in the digital mix.
Try to bounce a digital mix made within Logic (or Protools, of course) and compare it to an analog version... even if you use an old Mackie you will be blown out by the difference!

My opinion is that Cerla did give an excellent tip for dramatically improving mix clarity, only it's not exactly the tip that was intended to be given.
The key, from what I've personally experienced through my own mixes, is in Cerla's comment that "you will notice that the Logic Outs that you are using (i.e. 8 stereo outs) are no more close 0 db, but much less, because each out has less sounds summing".
A lot of people complain that the mixes they make inside the box of a DAW don't sound nearly as good as the mixes they made in an analog studio. But they're not mixing the same way. When you were recording to tape did you track everything at +6db? When you were mixing from that Studer 24trk through an SSL 6000 did you bury the master section's needles? Why is it that engineers who would never do that in an analog studio insist they must record everything into Logic/PT with all levels peaking at 0dBfs?
So here's the question: does your analog-summed test mix sound better because the analog circuitry in your Mackie 1604 sounds better than the summing algorithms in Logic, or does the Mackie win your test because you didn't push its faders up until the output LEDs refused to dip below the red?
I wonder, if you redo the test and rather than focusing on getting the best mix possible through the Mackie instead focus on making the gain staging through the Mackie the exact same as the gain staging you used on the in-the-box mix if you'll find that your analog mix has gained some of the 'typical digital harshness' that makes everyone wake up screaming in the middle of the night.
If so, and you feel like playing some more, try doing an in-the-box mix in which none of the track levels, including the master, go above -6db. Then, when your mix is as good as you can make it without breaking the -6db ceiling, push the master up to -1db with your favorite mastering plugin (or just push the fader up and let your mastering engineer finish it). It's just something to try, maybe to your ears this will be the worst thing yet. Or maybe you'll find that you can give that Mackie 1604 to the kids down the street who can put it to good use in their garage band's practice room.

What ever happened to the "What you Hear" device for XFi Exteme Audio for Vi

I thought for sure the mixer device would be added back in as part of these new driver, but apparently the minds of creative feel it is ok to take options away from a purchased product? Does anyone know of a good work around to allow for recording "What You Hear" in Vista?

wclampet,I have same problem with my X-fi extremeGamer card in vista. It means i can't use any other sound recording software to record anything off the net since there is no recording device such as 'what u hear' for it to use. Can't get support from Creative and they won't even answer the simple question of whether it's supposed to be there or not because mine is an oem dell system. For the some reason i cant?install the latest drivers from the Creative site either ( because i have an oem version ?) - though i?dont think it would solve the issue anyway really. [color="#0033ff">Anyway just to let u know there is a workround - u can record basically 'what u hear'?using?the Creative Mediasource?5 Player using the Digital -in (the only record device i have) and choosing Wav,multi-channels as the recording format. You will end up with a wav. file (big) which you can then convert using the?Creative Mediasource 5 Converter (after a lot of trial and error in choosing the right destination?format - WMA?Pro -28kbps 44kHz?5. Channel for me -
I thought it was not possible for a long while).You end up with a Windows Media Audio WMA file. If you want to convert to Mp3 is seems you have to buy another program off them. ?I am a bit annoyed at not being able to use any other?streaming audio recorder program with this soundcard? that could record direct to MP3. Would appreciate it if anyone (including anyone at Creative - I am in Singapore U know!) could tell me if?there should be a 'what u hear' recording device or not - and if not why not ???

No mixer device
