[SOLVED] no sound after reinstall

**EDIT**
POST IS IRRELEVANT
My hp nc6220 laptop has an ICH6 soundchip and ac97 codec
Installing alsa-utils and running alsaconf was one of the first things I did after a reboot into the new system.
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav worked. I set levels with alsamixer and did alsactl store.
Then I proceeded installing xfce4, mplayer, audacious and a whole lot of packages. When I wanted to listen to music, there was no sound. Not outside of X either. I don't remember if I rebooted inbetween. The three mediabuttons mute, lowervolume and raisevolume register, but do nothing. I see the osd come up when i press them playing video in mplayer, though.
buttons:
.Xmodmap
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
Is this kernel too new? I have the 2.6.29-ARCH kernel. The modules snd_intel8x0, snd_intel8x0m and snd_ac97_codec are loaded. I'd like to go with alsa, I think it's more usable than oss. I have the same problem with debian sid and made a lengthy post about it. I finaly chose oss over alsa there.
for reference:

**EDIT**
Nevermind. Sound works as expected. I think I accidentally set something wrong in a mixer.

HP Mini 110 (XP) - No sound after reinstall

Hi there! I have a problem after reinstalling my HP Mini 110, and would appreciatte any feedback on this.
I formatted the pc and installed a fresh version of XP Home edition (SP2).
Everything went very smooth and all drivers where installed (Downloaded from the HP driver support site).
Video, network, Intel chipset, Wifi, Bios, everything is working like a charm... expect for the AUDIO.
I've installed the IDT driver, but when the installation starts it says something in the lines of "your sound device is not supported by this installer" and shuts down.
I've tried with several different drivers (all from HP site) with no luck.
Another thing that caught my attention is that there are no sound devices in the "hardware management" tab of the system.... No sound card is detected! This seems really weird to me...
What could be the problem ? Any clues ? I should point that before the format the sound card worked perfectly.
My machine is an HP Mini 110 (1020 LA).
Thanks a million for any feedback!
Ale_Argentina.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Paul,
Thanks again for your feedback.
The interesting thing is that there is no device showing on de hardware management tab... Under sound there are no "unrecognize" devices or anything.... This look weird to me!
I'm assuming i have and IDT sound device as all netbooks from this series have it, and i had the IDT software installed before formatting the pc.
It's also importanto to mention that the sound device was working until Sunday before i made the new installation of WXP.
The strange thing for me is that nothing is showing up in the hardware manager.... There should be at least an unknown device showing me a lack of drivers right ??
I will aprecciate any ideas of thins i might have to look into to solve it...
Thanks again!
Best regards.
Ale_Argentina.

[SOLVED] Lost Sound After Upgrade

Solved (for now at least). The problem appears to be a bug with alsa. Alsaconf writes a file called /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf, which contains the aliases for the sound card. But for some reason it then wasn't reading the file. Copying the alias entries to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to read directly from there seems to have worked.
Now to fix the frequency scaling.
===================== solved ===========================
I lost all sound after the last upgrade. I just rebooted because frequency scaling is also not working, and no sound.
all drivers seem to be there:

I tried firefox, xine, mythfrontend, avidemux2, xmms and mpg123 - there's no sound in any app. If I play something where there are indicators, like in xmms, the eq indicator levels jump, the song progresses like it's playing, but no sound. I reran alsaconf, it seems to be configured properly. The mixer sliders work and aren't muted. It doesn't work either as root or as user.
I have another computer hooked up through the line out and the sound still works fine there, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware problem.
I'm completely stumped at this point. If it's a bug somewhere, what's it a bug in to cause global sound loss? Is there anything else I'm overlooking? All I can think is that it must be muted somewhere, but I can't find it. Or else it has something to do with the cpu and cpu freq scaling that's also broken now.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

[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)!

[SOLVED] No sound after fresh install

Hi
I am having a little bit of a problem that I couldn't solve myself. My sound is not working after a fresh installation of Arch. Everything else is fine but sound is not working. My "user" is in "audio" group, I tried some solution nothing smart just trying to reinstall or try to delete pulseaudio or alsa, only to find they are dependant on something. I have a Gnome 3.12. Also I am not an expert (obviously) ,but some things are still unclear to me about linux and this is not my first expiriance with Arch.

No, I checked that in the beggining, however the thing that bothers me is there is, in gnome settings; sound; there is no intel hd or radeonhd choises just "Digital Output" (S/PDIF) -Built-in-Audio". And I can't seem to add new one or anything else. Aslo in the same menu sound; I cannot choose another profile. Just one: Digital Stereo.
I was thinking could the new kernel be guilty? Whenever I installed in the past everything was ok, including the sound. Now there is something that I didn't mention, there were two lines when I started installing Arch yesterday,
"Posible missing firmware aic94, smsmdtv."
This is not exactly how it was written but I do remeber posible and these two "missing" ones, because I writed them down.
That's it. Anyone has any ideas?

[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

Okay, my sound is working again. I fixed the problem by changing two settings in the pulse audio volume control. The first was to turn off the RV710/730 Digital Stereo (HDMI) output device and the second was to change the Internal Audio profile to Analog Surround 5.1 Output. I don't know if the settings will remain after a reboot or some other change, but they work for now.

[SOLVED]No sound after resuming from suspend thinkpad t23

On a T23 Thinkpad, suspend-to-ram works, but I have no sound and no network when resuming.
After googling for a while, it seems I must unload sound modules before going to sleep and then reload my sound modules after resuming.
lsmod|grep snd gives me this:
snd_intel8x0 28700 3
snd_ac97_codec 94756 1 snd_intel8x0

soundcore 6496 1 snd

However, from the command line, after
modprobe -r snd_seq_oss snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm snd_timer snd_mixer_oss
I get:
FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 is in use.
Even though I have no sound apps running.
I am planning on putting the modprobe -r command in /etc/pm/sleep.d/whatever to unload and then another to reload the mods.
Any help appreciated.

OK, solved it. Placed this in /etc/pm/sleep.d/11suspend
#!/bin/sh
mixers="Master PCM CD"
for mixer in $mixers ; do
/usr/bin/amixer -q sset $mixer mute
/usr/bin/amixer -q sset $mixer unmute
done
Just mutes and unmutes master, PCM and cd channels. Works perfectly. suspend-to-ram and hibernate now work 100%.
Thinkpads are so sweet.

[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?

I got mine working!
First I commented out the module parameter from my /etc/modprobe.d//intel-hda-audio.conf:
#options snd-hda-intel model=dell-eq
Since it works without that now, I will probably remove the file.
Next, I went into alsamixer, and noticed a couple items not there before, turned down low:
"Speaker", and two "HeadPhone" mixers, both turned down almost off. I turned up the volume on the speaker, and was able to get sound from the speakers. The same worked for the headphone entries (I have two headphone jacks).
After I did this, it works better than before because I used to only have one working headphone jack.
Also, I confirmed sound is still working after suspend/resume for me.
Hopefully this will help one of you.
Thanks,the problem has been resolved by downgrade.
Sound is absolutely normal before I suspend/resume my system, volume is normal, not too large,not too little. But there's no sound at all after resume it . I guess it's probably to have something to do with our audio card - HDA intel, my computer is also a dell laptop( dell 1420 , 2007/2008, really old ).
My advice is : don't upgrade to kernel 3.9.2 ,it's an odd version( odd version is not stable).

[Solved] No Sound after Windows 8.1 Update

I have an MSI GE70 and after updating to Windows 8.1 I can not get sound from any source.
I have tried updating drivers through windows automatic system and then through the MSI website. However no change.
Any ideas how to restore sound, without having to entirely reinstall Windows 8 and avoid updating to Windows 8.1?
Thanks,
Richard

I've resolved the issue for me. Instead of installing the drivers from MEI website. I got them from here:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS035939
Whether there is any long term effects of installing the sound drivers from a different company remains to be seen, but I have got my sound back. Hope this may help others who may experience the same issues.
Thanks for help,
Richard

[SOLVED] No sound after massive upgrade

Hello,
I'm just writing to ask for some information about my problem. Recently I upgraded my ArchLinux system after a while without doing it.
My surprise came when, after rebooting my system is without sound. No sound anywhere. Both the speakers and the volume are turned up at the maximun and there's still no sound.
I would appreciate any information you could give me to solve this problem which is killing me.
Also say that before the upgrade the sound was working perfectly.
Here's my rc.conf file:

My sound card stopped working today after I updated. I was surprised because my soundcard always worked before. My music player (audacious) said something like "No audio device available".
I had to reboot 2 times. After that, my sound card worked again. I don't know why.
I don't know if you have the same problem as me, but we both had a similar problem on the same day doing the same thing (working sound card -> update -> no sound). Maybe it's just a coincidence?
What a shame but that was not the solution, my computer has been rebooted more than twice since then and still no sound

By the way, I'm also having audio issues with KDE 4.9.3 now. I can play sound though, it's the mixer that's broken.
P.S. I could fix my issue in the KMix preferences. (The wrong audio interface had been selected since the upgrade.)
Do you think on Phonon preferences. If is, I got nothing to select.

[SOLVED] No sound after 2x amixer set Master toggle

For the past 6-ish months, I've been able to successfully play sounds with my laptop, but today I was in a place where I would rather no sounds play and used the command
amixer set Master toggle
which I presumed would toggle the muted status of Master. Unfortunately, when I returned home and used that same command, I no longer got sound. I tried using
amixer set Master 100
and
amixer set Master unmute
to attempt to restore sound, but when I tested the sound with
speaker-test
but still got no sound from the speakers.
I didn't edit any configuration files, although I did have vlc media player open when i toggled Master the second time. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both vlc and alsa-utils but still no sound fix. Any suggestions?

Discovered that whatever the issue was originated with vlc media player, since every time I toggle the master (which I bound to my laptop's mute key using xbindkeys) vlc mutes channels in pulseaudio, which I managed to unmute with pavucontrols. I don't know why vlc does this, but it happens and pavucontrols is the easy, graphical solution
