[SOLVED] No sound after installing pulseaudio

Hi,
I recently installed pulseaudio to be able to use skype since their update to version 4.3.
I installed with additional stuff using the command:
$ sudo pacman -S pulseaudio pulseaudio-alsa pavucontrol lib32-libpulse
After installing I ran the commands:
$ pulseaudio -k
$ pulseaudio --start
At this point, skype and sound were working properly again.
After rebooting my computer, I completely lost the sound. I tried killing and restarting pulseaudio and reinstalled twice, but I never managed to have to sound back since...
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help

    Do you think on Phonon preferences. If is, I got nothing to select.

  • [SOLVED] No sound after installing/uninstalling gnome

    I thought I'd give Gnome a try again after a year or so away from it using bspwm, just to remind myself of it. Once it was installed though my sound no longer worked within bspwm. Uninstalling it with pacman -Runs left me with no sound still. I then reinstalled Gnome so that I could at least have some sound while I worked out the problem, but this time had no sound in Gnome either. I tried using pacman -Rnsdd the second time but again I'm left with no sound. Now if I open alsamixer, the default sound card appears to be HDMI, but changing it back to PCH does nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
    Last edited by shpongledspores (2015-06-03 12:55:05)

    Fixed it by changing the default control and pcm card to 1 instead of 0 in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

  • [SOLVED] No sound after installing NVIDIA driver

    I have just got a new graphics card (NVIDIA GT 610) and I have installed the proprietary driver for it. My PC has in-built Intel GPU. I had a problem with that that was fairly straight forward to fix. I blacklisted the i915, intel_agp modules as suggested here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … grated_GPU. But I now have no sound. I am almost certain that this is because there is an in-built sound card that I have now blacklisted because before I blacklisted those modules sound seemed to be working fine.
    I'm not sure of any great diagnostics tools for sound but speaker-test outputs:
    speaker-test 1.0.27.2
    Playback device is default
    Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels

    Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
    And aplay -l outputs:

    If anyone has any ideas on how I could go about fixing this or what I can try playing with I would very thankful.

    Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
    Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
    Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

  • Portege 3110ct has no sound after installing XP Pro

    I'm a novice when it comes to laptops, so here is the problem: My 3110ct has no sound after installing XP Pro. Didn't have sound when I bought it with another operating system on, report says no sound device installed.
    Does this mean I need to get a chip for the laptop or is it a driver I need & where can I find the part or the driver for this.
    Please help.

    Usually if the sound driver was not installed you will get no sound but also a yellow exclamation mark should appear in the device manager.
    If the sound card chip is damage I presume you will be not able to see the yellow exclamation belonging to the sound card in the device manager.
    You bought this Portg as a second hand unit. Am I right?
    So possibly the sound card is faulty.
    The computer uses a ESS ES1978 (Maestro-2E) and ES1918 sound chip.
    Check if you can find an XP sound driver in the internet.

  • [Solved] No sound after resuming from suspend

    After suspending and resuming I no longer have any sound output (through headphone jack or my laptop speaker). The laptop is a toshiba portege r835. I can't say how long this has been happening, since I've only tried to play any sounds after resuming recently.
    Searching the forums I found the following thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151001
    I haven't tried this because it isn't exactly the same problem, but mostly because I'm currently stuck on kernel 3.5.6 because of the sandy bridge power regression issues.
    Does anyone have any other ideas on how to possibly fix this problem?
    Thanks!!

    Solved, sort of.
    I had some double suspend issue: I had set up suspend with systemd before using xfce and then after installing xfce I set my power settings so that the computer would suspend after shutting the lid, so I would have to open the lid, shut it, and then open it again for the computer to actually resume. After turning off the suspend setting in the xfce power manager, and just using the systemd suspend, the sound works fine on resume (both headphones and speakers)!

  • NO SOUND AFTER INSTALLING WINDOWS 8.1

    Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help.  My sister has a compaq 58 laptop and after installing windows 8.1, now has no sound.  The sound was there when 8.1 was installed but after logging off and logging back on again, the sound disappeared.  We reinstalled windows 8.1 and same thing happened.  We have run scans and got sound again but once again logging off and logging back on again, the sound disappeared, very frustrating.
    The product code is DOX18ea#abu and serial number [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
    help would be much appreciated.

    Devina,  This seems to be a common problem with Windows 8.1. It does not save a working state when logging off. I was afraid to touch my pc when the AUDIO was in a working state. However Microsoft logged me off with no fear and did not save the working state. What a great "glutware" corp. Having said that when the AUDIO is working it appears to work great! Sure wish HP/MICROSOFT could get their act together. Can you say "BASE BAND" , "DSP", "FIR" ETC. Well they think they know the fancy stuff. Now if they could just get it to function for normal people. Can you say "KISS".
    ham123 ps: just send it back!! for total care!!!

  • No sound after installing Adobe Flash 11.7

    After installing the new Adobe Flash Player 11.7 I have no sound.
    I reinstalled, uninstalled and started the imac new but I find no solution.
    When I'm starting the imac, I always heard the opening sound.
    After searching and contacting the support with no results, I try to turn
    up the volume at the source and connect the soundsystem again and
    now can hear the music.
    I think Adobe reduce the sound of the source at zero, and the imac
    rest on the last position.
    I'm right? Many Thanks in advance.

  • No sound after installing windows 7 on HP Pavilion dv1710us Notebook PC

    I recently helped my uncle install windows 7 on his HP Pavilion dv1710us Notebook PC
    and there was no sound after installation.. i downloaded several drivers for the realtek high definition audio driver (R2.39, 38, 37, etc)
    then i tried the original driver from the HP drivers page and installed it.
    usually when there is no sound, there would be a red X on the volume icon, but when i installed the original driver from the HP drivers page, there was no more red X.. Thinking that the sound was fixed, I tried to go on youtube and watch a video... i see the green bar moving up and down on the volume slide, but then i can't hear anything.
    So is there any realtek high definition audio driver compatible for windows 7 on the HP pavilion dv1710us?
    Is there something I have to do, like right click on the application and then change compatibility settings?
    thanks in advance.

    I got it to work with windows 7 32 bit. I just went to hp website to support and downloads section. Type in your model number, then select windows xp as the operating system. Then download the audio driver and save it to your desktop. After the file is on your desktop you need to right click on it and click properties, then go to compatability tab and tell it to install as windows xp service pack 3. Hit apply then install. Hope it works for ya, worked for me.
