No sound card found
W510 - Win 7 Enterprise x64 -
On day, randomly, my sound card went missing. The windows speaker icon has an x over it, it claims no sound card installed.
The device manager has no record of conexant (though the nvidia HD Audio drivers are still there).
I have tried to install the conexant drivers through the lenovo support site, but get the error, "Driver Installation Failed: Could not find the MEDIA device for this driver."
I have updated BIOS, I installed the toolbox and did a system check, and I hvae rebooted many, many times doing little things here and there to try and diagnose this problem.
Its as if the actual hardware of the sound card does not exist to the operating system. No drops or major bumps occurred to the laptop.
Any ideas of what I could do next, presuming this can be fixed without getting warranty repair work done (which is a little out of my reach due to my location right now)?
Try a ThinkVantage Toolbox diagnostic.
Alternatively, try a bootable Ubuntu LiveCD.

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. -
Sound Card Found-Satelitte P50-Now I can record sound off the laptop.
Greetings,
Hopefully, this will save some people from going through what I went through.
When I tried to record music that was playing on the laptop with a sound recording program, it would record the audio through the webcam microphone. And it sounded terrible. Toshiba support had no idea how to fix it.
However, after many hours of poking around I discovered the fix. Go to the All Control Panel Items and click on the Sound. Then click on the Recording tab. Do a Right-Click and click on the Show Disabled Devices.
You will find Stereo Mix. Enable this device. Now when you run your sound recording program, you will have the choice of selecting the Stereo Mix and you will be able to record what you hear on your laptop.
Why Toshiba has this feature disabled is beyond me...but I hope this helps others.

What is a decent sound card to use with DJ Mixer Pro?
I'm having trouble finding a compatible external sound card to use with my Mac Mini. Specifically, I need one that supports surround sound to use with DJ Mixer Pro. I am currently unable to use the "Preview" function of the program during my sets to ensure proper blending from one track into another. I've gotten pretty good at working around it, but with the proper sound card I should be able to preview a track in the "rear" of the surround sound without disturbing the "front", which plays live to the crowd. Most information I can find on sound cards pertains to home theatre application, which I have no interest in. I also don't need anything too sophisticated as I use the program for local club performances instead of professional production. I would prefer something that connects through firewire to prevent any kind of delay, but most of these seem to be discontinued or expensive overkill, so I hope a USB 2.0 will suffice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dv6265us connexant PCI sound card + windows 7 = Not working
So I'm here becuase I can't find a driver on my own. I've scoured the internet for hours, finding very little to help with my issue. So here goes...
I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 (Dv6265us), and ever since I installed window 7, Windows cannot figure out what drivers to install for the PCI sound card. The best I've found so far says this:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it"
"Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio"
"If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
Now here's the funky part...everywhere I've found information on my laptop, it says I have a Conexant PCI sound card. If I'm wrong I would love for someone to tell me; better yet, a link to a download to actually be able to use the PCI sound card. Right now the card is under other devices and is listed as "PCI Device".
Now the Link I've provided from the conexant site will tell you this under PC Audio Support - Windows® 7,
"Conexant develops audio solutions that are used in a wide range of products including personal computers. We provide customized audio drivers to our customers, which include major computer manufacturers globally. At the request of these manufacturers, Conexant does not provide end-user support or drivers for PC audio products. If you have an issue with the audio configuration in Windows 7, please contact the manufacturer of your computer.
I tried calling HP support, but they wouldn't even answer my yes or no question... "Do you have audio drivers for my laptop that will allow me to hear sound?" Instead of saying yes or no, I was told that I needed to pay fifty to one-hundred dollars;....fifty dollars for a one time fee of telephone service, or one-hundred for the year. I even went as far as asking..."if you can't fix my problem, do I get a refund?" I was told no...so here I am. I've had problems before with hp...but this is rediculous, and whats worse is from the way things look, Connexant was told NOT to support their own product, or provide drivers for windows 7 by their customer(HP). I realize everyone is hurting for money, but **bleep**, this is a new low...To answer your question, there are no windows 7 drivers for that model notebook. The notebook was designed for Windows 2000, Windows xp and windows vista.
This is one of the issues with upgrading the OS on a computer before checking the specs of the hardware.
I do understand the frustration but it would be more beneficial to revert back to the original OS that the notebook came with. That is what the HP support desk will have you do to prove functionality of the notebook should you have paid for the Diagnostic Support.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP. Clicking the "Kudos star" to the left is a great way to say thanks!

Unable to make microphone to work on NVIDIA MCP55 onboard sound card
Hello.
Some time ago, I bought a nice HP xw9400 Workstation (with Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216) from Germany. Despite it's starting to become old by today's standards for some stuff like gaming, it's still quite okay to use and the SAS HDD makes it boot fastly. And it has one of the best cases, you can plug PCI/PCIe/PCI-X cards very easily and it's very nice to change or add HDDs. Maybe I'll upgrade the CPUs (I can upgrade the bios and it seems it can support better CPUs) if I find them on eBay or other place.
I have less problems with Arch than the rest of distributions, but I still have weird issues. Despite my computer hardware is somewhat old, I still experience weird problems everywhere (it seems I have some kind of weird "luck").
I have problems using my microphone under Arch with "NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" onboard sound card , here is the relevant info.

I also tried create /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the following line to it...
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack
And no luck! I tried it and still appear both "Rear Mic" and "Front Mic". I'll provide a screenshot later.
I'm starting to understand this, maybe it can help me...

I had an Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro, but removed it to see if there was some problem. I'm still unable to use my Microphone even on onboard audio hardware. I'll try to use it once I have the microphone working

arecord -l
Have you tried making a virtual loopback device like above and using
arecord -vv -fdat out.wav
You should see the #### fluctuate as you speak into the mic. If not, then unmute and turn up your mic in alsamixer. That loopback device will allow you to capture your sound card and hear it at the same time. Another way to do it is to use a jumper from line out to line in on your sound device. You won't be able to hear it while you record though.
If your sound device works, then you can capture what's going through it. You'll need to determine which vitual device your mic is.
Example
arecord -l

[SOLVED] Mic does not work on Intel ICH8 (rev 3) sound card
Hi, folks.
I cannot get my sound card to record anything, using a built-in microphone. Audio output works just fine, though. I hope someone can help me, I have been banging my head against the wall for some time over this issue...
My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A200-1J0 (PSAE6E-04R036G3). alsamixer settings are fine, I tried supplementing additional options to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, but no luck, tried some of the combinations (model=<> position_fix=<>).
When recording sound with gnome-sound-recorder, with Capture set as input, nothing is heard. Skype can't record anything, either. I can't even get the crackling or hissing sound like some users do.
Should I try to get the latest ALSA?
Debug details start from now on:

I had the very same problem with the same soundcard and found this thread.
The problem got solved for me by adding the same line as you have to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.
However, I also had to create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and add:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba power_save=0
Notice the difference on the "model=toshiba" part.
However, my laptop is not a Toshiba, but a Compal IFL90.
I remember that in Ubuntu I needed(a long time ago) to add a line to /etc/alsa.conf with model=toshiba. I figured it might be worth a try, and well, it did.
I hope this can help someone else.
As for the OP: "You have my thanks!" -
Sound card works but not when rebooting
i followed all the steps...
alsaconf
alsamixer
/etc...noise.wav
alsactl store
edited the rc.conf
sound works but when i reboot, before the root i get the error... sound card not found?check in rc.conf and see if your sound module isn't listed. Odd that it doesn't find your sound card on boot.
U may also need to run alsactl store as root. Permission problem, possibly?
sounds like alsaconfig is finding and loading the module each time u reboot, but its not being loaded because I think u need to run alsactl store as root, since it needs to be loaded by the kernel. That would require root privileges I would think. That's my best guess.

Sound problems, ALSA can't find sound card at boot
Sometimes, my sound randomly drops out, and I can't get it back until I reboot. Even when I reboot, 1/20 times, it will not be back.
When I watch stuff on youtube, sometimes the sound just drops out. Nothing gets muted. My audio player can't produce sound.
If I do
lsmod | grep snd
I'll see the some output.
When I reboot and try to play music from Quodlibet, I'll get an error like this:
Output Error
GStreamer output pipeline could not be initialized. The pipeline might be invalid, or the device may be in use. Check the player preferences.
"lsmod | grep snd" will have NO output and when I try to start alsamixer:
[xz@gestalt ~]$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
I can't figure out what's going on, and googling has just led me to various not-completely-related posts on this board... what could be the problem?
EDIT: A few more things to note--
I have alsa in my daemons list in rc.conf
I'm part of the "audio" groups.
soundcore is not blacklisted

"A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP
Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
. Remove the sound Card
2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
7. Restart PC
8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
.Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!
My Specs: P4 3.2Ghz Prescott on Intel D875PBZ MB, pqi GB PC3200 Dual Channel RAM, Win XP SP2, Plextor CD-R and DVD Dri'ves, BFG 6600GT OC 28MB and the Audigy 2 Sound CardMessage Edited by Flying_Ghost on 05-04-2005 09:38 PMThanks for pointing that out, it was not apparent on the day i used them and wrote the How-To. The links have been replaced with the SID# (Solution ID #) and the title given for the Article.

HP Pavilion dv2500 no sound card detected after reinstallation
HP Pavilion entertainment PC (Laptop) dv2500
OS Windows 7 Ultimate
AMD system, nvidea
I recently upgraded a friends computer from Windows Vista to, windows 7 Ultimate.
The icon for sound in the task bar ( a speaker) has a red x marked on the speaker.
After trouble shooting using the windows trouble shooter, I got a message "below"
Trouble shooting Has completed
The troubleshooter has made some changes to your system try attempting the task you were trying to do before
problem found
Hardware changes might not have been detected Detected !
the red x is still there and i still have no sound.
does this mean that I may need a new sound card or can it possibly be that I need to install a driver.
If I need a new sound where can I find this driver. Is it possible to us an external driver Is there such a thing
Thankyouthis looks like a driver issue. can you share the computer product number, it must be on the bottom of notebook. its something like AB123CD#ABA. that will help me share correct driver to you. thanks

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
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 96 to 87381
Period size range from 48 to 43690
Using max buffer size 87380
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 21845
was set buffer_size = 87380
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 upmix
slave.pcm "surround71"
delay 15
channels 8
pcm.!default "plug:upmix71"
pcm.dmix6 {
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"
slave.channels 6

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.
Any ideas? -
[Wine] Sound card selecting issues
Since a month or too, after one of my weekly updates, wine started to select the wrong sound card for its audio playback. Thus, alas, no sound in wine applications.
When selecting the audio tab in winecfg, I get the following console output:
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer
fixme:jack:JACK_drvLoad error loading the jack library libjack.so.0, please install this library to use jack
I don't use jack, so that can be ignored. The HDA NVidia - the S/PDIF on my NVidia video card I presume, I don't use either. What I do use is my onboard sound chip in combination with alsa, which works perfectly on non-wine applications.
So, I got the following set up:
$ cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_hda_intel

Note that I already blacklisted snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi, which was in the above output before blacklisting.
Also note the weirdness of having two identical modules for card 0 and card 1. I guess the chip on the video card is Intel as well. I this possible?
Now the list of things I tried, all without a positive result.
First, I completely reconfigured my alsa set up.
Secondly, I blacklisted snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi in /etc/rc.conf
Thirdly, I used the info from http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys to force wine to use card0:
AutoScanCards=N
AutoScanDevices=N
DeviceCTL1=hw:0
DevicePCM1=hw:0
Fourthly, I edited .asoundrc to force alsa to use only card0:
# define soundcard to use, hw0:0
pcm.!default {
type hw
card SB
# device 0
# define control device to use, hw0:0
ctl.!default {
type hw
card SB
# device 0
Finally, I tried the above globally in /etc/asound.conf
I even waited two wine updates to see if that would fix it.
All above did not solve the sound issue and winecfg still gives the same error output as before.
Note that the sound works fine in everything, except in wine.
Anyone has any ideas or insight?Hi!
