No sound other than directly from built-in mic.

Hello there!
I've got a problem... I'm using Arch with GNOME 3 and I have a weird problem. My sound is gone. alsamixer doesn't affect the sound at all and Gnome's volume manager (or whatever it's called) doesnt have any sound output (only Dummy - or something similiar, I'm translating from polish interface). But I hear my mic (very loud). I don't even know where to start diagnosing this problem and would be very, very grateful If you'd help me or just point me out the right direction.
Cheers!

Alsamixer at HDA Intel said, that there are no controls for this device. And as I've mentioned before... everything used to work, and it was possible to 'tune' levels in alsamixer.
It turned out, that I've got a second laptop (both Toshiba Satellite) which has the same problem. Sound used to work, but now it's gone. Even alsaconf said, there are no sound cards in there. I've found a similiar (quite) problem in here:

  • Is there no way to import new movie content other than direct from camera?

    I just imported all my new footage into iphoto then deleted the lot from the camera sd card. Then i went to imovie thinking i could import from iphoto turns out i can't. So is there any way to get my new photos , which are on my computer, into imovie. Because at the moment i'm fiddling around with my time machine trying to go back in time before i deleted the new material. Please help.

    How are you trying to "import" in iMovie ?
    In iMovie you need to click on the camera icon (in the "middle" bar at the right. You will then see your iPhoto library and the photo's. If you wan t to use the photo's you can click one or multiple photo's/folder or event and drag that in your project (not the events)

  • X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs is configured as Internal other than Anonymous from internet mails

    Hi Admin,
    We want to restrict distribute group not to receive internet mails, but the internet mails are still going through even if the option"only senders inside my organize" is selected. The part of mail header is below,
    X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthSource: myexchange.com
    X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs: Internal
    X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthMechanism: 10
    The value of X-MS-Exchange-Organization-AuthAs is configured as "Internal" other than "Anonymous" from internet mails. Maybe this is the root cause, but I don't know how to resolve it. Currently the internet mails are first checked by
    our symantec mail gateway then transfer to our CAS server (myexchange.com) as above.
    Could somebody instruct me on this?
    Many thanks in advanced.

    Did you check "Externally Secured" on the anonymous receive connector or add the ip address of the Symantec Gateway to the allowed IP anti-spam list in Exchange?

  • No Sound from built-in mic recording to a basic track

    I am not a garageband user in the past so please bear with me.
    I want to record from the built-in mic and I did and there was a obvious record patten on the basic track.
    BUT No Sound, I thought maybe the file was wrong I then recorded an itunes and the record patten was visible and I even tried raising the record level and the patten got higher. The recording level bars in the basic track were green and when I raised the volume there were occasions that they went red.
    However both times No Sound when trying to playback.
    I checked the speaker levels and raised them to maximum in both the GB and my computer.
    The track volume constantly shows 0.00 dB-
    Any thoughts as to why I cannot get the sound to playback.

    I got it to work in Guitar track Midi.
    I was in real Instrument.
    Any reason why there would be a difference that sound plays in Guitar Track and not in Real Instruments ?

  • No sound other than MIDI files

    it appears that only MIDI files will play on my system.  we have not updated anything in the last week and the sound just quit other than MIDI files.  we are running XP on a HP M7067c desk top.
    any help please!

    Hi confused1nca,
    It's possible that Windows Update installed some updates while you were sleeping
    You may want to reinstall your sound drivers or install an updated driver. Here is the latest audio driver for your PC from HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-29786-2&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
    See if installing that helps and let us know how it goes.

  • Garageband is recording from built in mic (i think) even though interface is plugged in and selected. Only after updating app.

    I am trying to record guitar through a LambdA interface and have never had problems before. Now after the most recent update, I have the interface selected but it seems like my computer's built in mic is picking up the sound. So when i have the monitor on, it is picking it up and feeding back. Even if the volume is all the way off on the interface, I can snap my fingers and it picks it up. It's probably something stupid but trying to figure this out for an hour... Please help.

    I'd seen this posted to a similar question, but either I'm blind or doing something completely wrong. In my midi/audio screen (from GB> Preferences > Audio/Midi) I see no such option. Searched the '08 help for anything remotely close to "aggregate device" provides no topics.
    Am I looking in the wrong place? Has this feature been renamed in GB '08?

  • The sound other than through head phone has stopped from the speakers of lap top

  • My iPod touch (3rd gen) isn't putting out sound other than static and high pitched noises through the tv hookup, the built in speakers, and headphones. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

    Everything on my iPod touch (3rd gen) works just fine except the audio out put.

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Contact Apple or a third-party service center.

  • Best sound other than AIFF

    To save space on DVD I've graduated to Dolby but using Compression set to NONE and dialog normalization set to -31, I find the sound harsh and some of the subtle tones are missing on certain music tracks.
    Can anyone suggest some compromise settings - I still need the space (AIFF takes me up to 4.7 GB on DVD-R).
    Quad 2.5 G5. 8 GB Ram. 250 & 500 GB Internal Drives. G-Tech G-Raid 1 TB   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   FCP 5.0.4 (FC Studio). Photoshop CS2. Sony HVR-Z1E

    You may already know this stuff, but I'll post it in case you don't.
    When you're setting the Dialog Normalization, you're setting a number that is entered into a math formula, not a final level. On DVD titles, you're interested in making the average dialog level equal across all tracks. Explosions, train whistles, soft breezes through the trees, can vary, but average dialog level is supposed to be equal. And that level should be -31dBFS (deciBel Full Scale).
    The way to accomplish that feat is to enter the number that represents the average voice level in the source file. If the source audio is coming from FCP, that number might be -12dBFS.
    That sets a Control Parameter, a flag of sorts, that the playback device uses for playback. It tells the player to attenuate the audio level by this formula:
    -31dBFS + DNV dB
    So, in the above example, the formula would result in the playback device attenuating the audio by:
    -31dBFS + (-12) = -19dBFS
    This would result in an average dialog level of -31dBFS.
    Make sense?
    If you set dialnorm at -31dBFS, then you are telling the player to NOT attenuate the audio at all from the levels set in the source file. THe risk there is that some peaks might be above 0dBFS, which is a Bad Thing.
    As for the Dynamic Range Compression, normally you should set that at None. The danger of setting anything else is the risk of possibly creating an unappealing volume pumping. Dynamic Range Compression will try to even out the difference between the highest and lowest volumes in your audio file. But it is not data compression.

  • No sound other than sta

    Does this mean my soundcard is dead? I was working with my computer and I have the latest vista drivers installed. The sound was working while gaming or listening to music. I shut the computer down and went to bed. I turned it on this morning and when windows boots, all I get is static and no other sound.

    Hi ElAguila,
    It would help if you would post up the model of your sound card and what other troubleshooting steps you have tried.
    Disconnect your speakers and connect a pair of headphones to the Line Out of the sound card. Are you getting static from the headphones?
    This article may help.

  • Why is Garmin & TomTom far better than directions from Siri

    My first smart phone is my iPhone 5S. I live in NYC. When I ask for directions, it takes me to the toll bridges and tunnels via the route with the most traffic.
    She never heard of the 59th St aka Queensboro aka Edward Koch Bridge. It took me to Staples, and 5 gas stations that were closed a long time ago. My Garmin and TomTom ask if I want to pay tolls or find a different route. They don't know traffic conditions and have to be updated for the gas stations.  I assumed the iPhone could know traffic conditions and stores that were still in business. Do you know any apps that can?

    I think Apple maps works fine for me. What you have to remember is that Tom tom and Garmin specialize in Mapping. Obviously Google do too.
    I know Apple maps are provided mainly by Tom Tom and AutoNavi who are chinese.
    Maybe Apple maps needs a little more work as its relatively new.

  • No sound other than alarm works . Says headphones plugged in

    today suddenly the sound stopped working through my speakers. If i hit put headphones in, it works, but taking them out , i get no sound. I push the volume buttons and it says "headphones" like they are still in, but they aren't. what could be causing this? ive tried poking around in the headphone hole to see if something in there but nothing seems to be working
    i do not have applecare, but i think its technically still under warrenty. would apple fix this for free?

    If still within 1 year Warranty, yes. Blow out headphone jack with compressed air. Plug and unplug headphones several times, try to clean out the jack.
