Pulse Audio, Lost Sound

I'm using Gnome with Pulse Audio and was working well for a while.  Earlier today I was playing a .wmv file and my whole desktop locked up forcing a hard reboot of the computer.  When I got gnome back up I had no sound and can't figure out why.
Volume control thing on the taskbar shows that sound is unmuted and at full volume.  The pulse audio app shows the same thing.  If I open up alsamixer it shows only 1 channel which is also unmuted and at full volume.
Any ideas to troubleshoot this?  Thanks.

Well I (sort of) solved this.... I reverted back to plain ALSA and it works fine
The hard reboot was caused while watching a .wmv video.  I don't remember precisely now in what program, I don't have vlc installed on this computer so I'm pretty sure it was Totem.
Can't find anything on the wiki pages to help me, but thanks for your suggestions.

Well I do back up all my data religiously, but don't even know what to restore to make this one work short of a full image (which I don't have).  I have snapshots going back a few months but not sure which file(s) need(s) to be rolled back.
I'm happy with ALSA for now, I never got much out of Pulse, just installed it out of curiousity.

    I am confused have you installed alsa or not?
    your first sentence says that you have, your last says that you don't. and your title talks about pulse audio.

  • [Gnome 3] Uses for System Sound Alsa instead of Pulse Audio?!

    If I open "Sound Settings" click on the reiter "Applications" then I see which programs are currently playing sound.
    Because I have installed the freedesktop sound theme I hear some sound if I raise or lower the volume.
    But why does it listen that the gnome-shell uses the alsa-plugin instead of pulse audio directly?!
    Best Regards

    Hmm... well I'm using Gentoo, and I have alsa flag turned on in my instalation of sun-jdk. So I don't know, but as I say, playing buffered sound with SourceDataLine and hardware mixer (not Java Sound Audio Engine) causes the same artifacts at the end of the sound as mplayer using oss. Might as well not be related at all, but then maybe you (or anyone else) can tell me if you can observe the same kind of behaviour while playing sound with java on your machine? I have cheap Realtek High Definition sound card, but it doesn't change the fact that in Windows, the sound plays correctly.
    But thanks for reply :)
    PS. by OSS in this context I mean oss emulation in ALSA.

  • Problems with sound (pulse audio) configuration

    My sound system is somehow not working properly. Only one playback at a time is working. Either flash player, a media player, a game. But never both at the same time. I want to use Cinnamon + Pulse Audio. I don't know what I need to install to get it working (pulseaudio, also, oss, ....) I assume the problem is that I installed several sound systems at the same time.
    Could you be so nice and help me to determine and fix the problem? I have no clue where to start. I read the appropriate Wiki articles but I'm not sure what exactly I need to do. All I want is a working and autostarting/respawning pulse audio ...
    Thank you in advance!

  • [Solved] Pulse Audio won't work on newly installed system with Gnome

    About a year ago I got a new computer and more or less retired my old one with my first arch install. Recently, I decided I would set it up as a Linux system for my sister. I first updated the computer, which broke it royally (since it was last updated before the /bin symlinking happened) but I eventually got it fixed. However, after doing that, Pulse Audio wouldn't work, then I broke X and decided to do a full reinstall.
    Now, on this clean install, Pulse is again not working. I have set up Gnome and gdm to work, and everything works great except Pulse.  The wiki says that Pulse with Gnome 3 requires no extra setup, so I have not edited conf files at all. I have, however, installed "pulseaudio-alsa", which created this conf file:
    # Use PulseAudio by default
    pcm.!default {
    type pulse
    fallback "sysdefault"
    hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
    ctl.!default {
    type pulse
    fallback "sysdefault"
    # vim:set ft=alsaconf:
    which seems fairly standard. Anyway, I tried removing it and had the same problems. When I have Pulse Audio running and try to play sound, I get the error:
    ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
    Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
    which is obviously trying for ALSA, or from mplayer:
    AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
    Running "pacmd list" nets me:
    Daemon not responding.
    and pavucontrol gives me:
    Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK
    when I try to start it.
    No pulseaudio commands seem to work (e.g. pulseaudio -k). They don't raise any errors, but also it doesn't have any effect on the server.
    The only asound conf file is "/etc/asound.conf", clearing ~/.config/pulse does not fix the issue.
    Journalctl does not seem to give anything interesting (Stale PID is the only message when starting Pulse), though admittedly I'm just vgrepping all of journalctl since I don't know how to narrow it down more, nor does the output from pulseaudio -vvvv. There are a lot of errors in pulseaudio -vvvv, but they all appear to be related to loading devices that don't exist, and so I assume not a problem, I can post it if necessary. Sometimes when I kill Pulse the process refuses to go away and I have to reboot in order to clear the process out, but I don't think that's related.
    If I kill Pulse or keep it from starting on boot, I can play sound, but only through ALSA, and while I didn't have the problem I expected (I can still play multiple things simultaneously) there's still the issue that the volume buttons in Gnome will no longer work and that the volume levels ALSA reports are basically nonsense to a human being.
    I basically just blurbed everything I thought of/found on the wiki or forums, and I'm not really sure where to go from here. It's a fairly old computer, so that could be related, and I'd be willing to dump Pulse if Gnome could integrate well with ALSA, but obviously fixing Pulse would be the preferred option.
    Any suggestions on where to look next? I've run out of ideas.
    Thanks.

    Wonder if you have a conflict between two audio cards ... for example, I have a friend with some PulseAudio problems caused by conflict between the HDMI audio from his graphics card and his onboard sound. Something would switch PulseAudio to the wrong card and it would just quit after getting itself into a twist. Unsolved, I'm afraid, but have a look at commands such as:
    aplay -l
    pactl list sinks
    pactl stat
    (Latter two will need PulseAudio coaxed into life first)
    and of course, the Arch wiki.
    If there is a conflict, blacklisting kernel modules might also be needed.

  • [SOLVED] Pulse Audio / ALSA audio sharing.

    SOLUTION AT POST # 4
    My computer has integrated audio and HDMI.  From my understanding, to be able to switch between these two types of audio hardware I require a sound server.  If this is not correct, please let me know so that I can uninstall Pulse Audio.  Assuming it is correct, I have numerous problems with my audio.  When running multiple programs, often I have to open pavucontrol and move the volume slider around in order for the audio to play in a newly opened program.  I have XFCE's volume control set to ALSA, and I am unable to change it to Pulse Audio for some reason.  This is a problem because every time I mute or change the volume using XFCE's volume control, I then have to go into Pulse Audio later to change the audio back.  If I run a game or VLC, and then open Firefox, I get no Flash audio.  However, if I run Firefox first, I have no audio in VLC or in game.  Usually I can fix this by opening pavucontrol and messing with the volume sliders.  This is not ideal.  Ultimately it seems the problem is that the program I am using are not sharing the audio hardware, so only one can play audio at a time.
    What can I do to make my audio work as it should?
    Here is my audio hardware
    # lspci | grep -i audio
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
    Screenshot of the only sound card option I have in the XFCE Audio Mixer Plugin:
    http://imgur.com/3TJWC
    I searched the Wiki, but it is out of date.  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#ALSA
    . . . For the applications that do not support PulseAudio and support ALSA it is recommended to install the PulseAudio plugin for ALSA. This package also contains the necessary /etc/asound.conf for configuring ALSA to use PulseAudio.
    To prevent applications from using ALSA's OSS emulation and bypassing Pulseaudio (thereby preventing other applications from playing sound), make sure the module snd_pcm_oss is not in the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf. If it is currently loaded (lsmod|grep oss), disable it by executing: . . .
    How can I do this using systemd instead of rc.conf?
    Edit: Since there is a lack of response, I am completely changing the entire post in order to be clear and productive.

    I found a solution here: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get- … audio.html
    You must create /etc/asound.conf and insert the following:

  • Equium L40 - Lost sound in the headphone jack

    Hi, Hoping someone can help.
    My current sound driver is Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio. And from what I remember has always been. I've downloaded it a few times from the Toshiba site for my computer and it always comes back to this driver.
    The problem I have is that somewhere along the line it has lost sound in the headphone jack. I can no longer tell if i have a hardware problem or if the jack is broken. I now have Windows 7 installed but the problem was there when I had the original Vista program installed.
    A few things my system tells me(Don't know if it helps)
    Location 0 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus)
    C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ADIHdAud.sys
    C:\Windows\system32\drivers\drmk.sys
    C:\Windows\system32\drivers\portcls.sys
    If i can't fix this because it is the jack can anyone tell me of another line for sound out I could use please? possibly USB.
    Thanks for reading.

    Hi buddy,
    Can you hear sound via internal speakers?
    That means the problem only is the headphone jacket?!
    I think if the internal speakers work but no external speakers or headphone it seems to be a hardware issue. Have you also checked the Windows sound settings for audio output port?
    In worst case you need professional help from an authorized service provider. Here you can find a list of them:

  • Pulse Audio jack detection problem.

    Hi, In my work I use headphones for listening musing and if I shutdown the laptop and then remove the headphones and when I start it in home there is no sound. I found the solution: plug headphones and unplug them. For me Pulse audio does not make check on system start if there are headphones connected but uses last value, and only changes it on plug and unplug.
    Is there are script that I can add to systemd on startup to check jack for headphones?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    since one recent update in January 2014 I notice the same Problem as Indomitable reported.
    I am using Archlinux on my Lenovo X201 (KDE and Pulseaudio installed). After reboot I hear no sound from the internal speakers. As Indomitable sayed, plugging and unplugging some headphones fixes the problem until next reboot. (First I was afraid of a damaged jack causing a false detection - so I am now eased up that somebody else reports this behaviour, too.)
    As a quick workaround in KDE (when you have no Sound through internal speakers and no Headphones laying around) you can go to [Audio & Video settings > Audio Hardware Setup > Device Configuration] and choose the Connector: "Speakers" instead of "Analog Output".
    Of course this is no permanent solution since this bypasses the automatic jack detection.
    Is this strange behaviour a bug or just a misconfiguration?

  • Lost sound when upgraded to Windows

    I lost sound when I upgraded my Gateway Solo250 from Windows 98 to Windows XP Home. On Device manager, the systems reports that my sound controls are working but the Multimedia Audio Controller is not installed (Problem 28). I have downloaded drivers from Gateway and from Creative Labs Sound Blaster Li've but can not install them. I get the error message that no sound card is being detected. What happened? How do I fix this without messing up anything else, since the computer is operating smoothly, except without sound. Thanks for your help!

    I have the exact same problem. I got numbers off of the creative chip on the motherboard, if that helps to get a solution. Gateway lists that XP is not supported on solo250. Creative is the only source that can solve this, since all of these companies laid off all of the developers. Did you find any help at all? I would hate to go back to win98...
