[solved]no sound in vlc after change to fluxbox!!

hi,
im in the process of changing from kde to fluxbox. ive been using arch with kde for about 4 months, but got annoyed at memory consumption!! vlc was fine in kde.
i installed fluxbox, and used the existing kde programs to get me going in fluxbox, but over the last couple of days, i have swapped one kde app out for another app in (e.g. konqueror out - pcmanfm in) ive been using xmms for my music at which point i uninstalled amarok, but decided i wanted to watch a film, so.....
i got vlc going and the picture was there, but no sound!! so....
i reinstalled vlc, no difference!
i tried mplayer, no sound!
i then went to youtube.com and again, no sound!
so basically, i get sound out of xmms, but nothing else!! i havent played with any config files, i have just set a couple of apps to autostart, and installed about 5 apps thru pacman!!
any suggestion or advice would be extremely well appreciated!
thanks!

ok, i just went back into kde, fired up vlc before i did anythin else and sound! so went back into fluxbox, did the same, and sound in vlc!!! thought ok, it just needed X restarting! but then fired up xmms, and nothin else would produce sound!!
it seems like xmms is taking over the whole sound server and nothing else can use sound as long as its running! even if xmms isnt playing, but just running! is there a way around this? or can someone recommend another music player?

[SOLVED] static sound in VLC after upgrade to 2.0.5-3

Hello all,
VLC was working flawlessly, had sound, could open multiple videos at one time, no issue..
Performed a pacman -Syyu last night, VLC upgraded, and now I can only open 1 video at a time, and that video has static for audio.
I downgraded to VLC 2.0.5-2, and now VLC won't play ANY videos, I get this:
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "WMA2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "WMV2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
I tried this post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155205
I'm not sure where to go to get VLC back to where I can play video.

There seem to be a couple problems with latest VLC, e.g. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33833
I had a couple problems, including the unkown format WMA2 when downgrading only VLC.
To fix the problem for now downgrades to
ffmpeg-1:1.0.1-1
vlc-2.0.5-2
x264-20121113-1
should do the trick.

[SOLVED]No sound for user after new motherboard installation

So I installed a new motherboard, and thus a new soundchip. The system boots, it works fine, except for the fact that I just don't have any sound. MPD and mpv/mplayer don't give me any sound. I do, however, get sound from youtube in firefox. When I start a video in VLC, it tells me:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such device.
When I try to start alsamixer, I get: "cannot open mixer: No such device"
When I try to start alsamixer with sudo, it works...the levels are fine and the channels unmuted. Starting a video as root also gives me sound. Here is some output from mpv:

As usual, I try forever for fix it, then finally post a topic on the forums and immediately afterwards I find the error and fix it. I had an old ~/.asoundrc that was pointing to the now obsolete soundcard. Deleted that and now it works.

[SOLVED] KEYMAP problem at boot after changing Xorg keyboard settings

Hi everyone,
I successfully installed Arch following both the Beginners Guide and the dm-crypt guide to encrypt the entire disk.
Although I set the KEYMAP HOOK in the mkinitcpio.conf and regenerated the image, the correct keymap is not pulled at boot, making me unable to enter the encryption password correctly.
The only way for me to access my system right now is chrooting into it via the installation CD.
I double-checked the content of /etc/vconsole.conf and it is set to the keymayp layout that I want. During boot the messages confirm that the keymap HOOK has been pulled and that the keymap is set, but apparently not to the layout specified in vconsole.conf.
The keymap hook already worked a few days ago and I was able to decrypt the disk and boot into the system. Then I ran into some keymap issues in X. I played around with localectl to adjust the keymap settings for X and that's where I must have messed up because ever since then I got the above issue at boot.
My working theory now is, that the settings I made for X somehow influence the keymap hook, maybe they override whatever is specified in vconsole.conf?
Is that even possible? And if so, which files would I need to check?
And if it's not: what do I do now?
Edit: I was unable to figure this out so I resorted to a new install. Didn't screw up this time and everything works perfectly now. I definetely recommend the use of a keyfile to anyone who uses a different keymap. That way, if your layout ever gets screwed up you can still decrypt your system via the keyfile.

I don't really know how to start troubleshooting. speaker-test -c 2 doesn't produce any sound. Restarting alsa seems succesfull but doesn't make the sound appear, too. The loaded modules seem fine, too:

Concerning the hardware: The motherboard has an integrated sound chip but it isn't used (or it shouldn't be), the speakers are connected to an Audigy 2ZS PCI card, whose module (snd_emu10k1 as reported by alsaconf) seems to be loaded. Btw, running alsaconf didn't solve the problem, too.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
PhotonX
Solved: Problem disappeared by itself after another update (though no sound related packages were touched this time).

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.

No sound after changing case

After changing to a new case for the phone (5s) I can not hear sound when receiving calls. Therefore, I'm unaware when there's an incoming call. I checked all the obvious settings, but still can't hear it ring! Help!

Your computer came with onboard audio. You shouldn't have to plug in any internal sound cables to get normal Windows sounds. I think the cable you connected os for SPDif. The SPdif part requires the cable, but that is only for digital audio. All you should have to do is connect normal speakers. You can test by plugging headphones into the lime green port on the back of the PC using a mini stereo plug.
OTher things to check is look into Realtek's sound properties to make sure Speakers are selected and not digital. Make sure nothing is muted in Windows Sound Properties (Doh!). Make sure volume levels are up... etc...
Here is your MOBO layout.

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

[Solved]no sound after suspend/resume after kernel 3.9.2 upgrade

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).

Will the penfailure be solved after changing the cartridges? Installing printer again did not help.

Rajein

Yes, I did try it.
I completely uninstalled Firefox (including personal settings, bookmarks, add-ons etc.) and then I installed Firefox 24 from scratch. The outcome is unchanged. Namely, it installs it and then right when it is about to start for the very first time, it hangs. If I run the task manager I can see the process firefox32. It shows as if it is running. But in fact it is hanging doing nothing. It is almost as if the process is waiting for something to happen and that never occurs. Note that this should not have anything to do with, say, an incompatible add-on/plug in because I had them all removed. I also removed adobe flash prior to the installation and run the malware removal program too.

[SOLVED]no sound in both headphone and speaker after update (alsa)

No sound after update. But, I can hear sound in headphone after install pulseaudio, while there is no sound in speaker (after plugging out headphone). I have tried some methods in related wiki articles, such as alsa and pulseaudio, but not works.
My enviroment is arch64, kde. I have installed lib32-alsa-plugins lib32-libpulse lib32-openal.
Anything others I can do? Thanks for advance.

XuYimin, can you please give more info on what you mean by "update (alsa)"? There is no "alsa" package in Arch as alsa & it's modules are part of the (linux) kernel.
As you have already gone into alsamixer to ensure the appropriate channels are unmuted & set at the desired level, have you also gone into your KDE systems settings -> Multimedia -> Audio and Video Settings & rechecked your settings?
sorry，it's really misleading in my words.what i want to say is 'no sound after update, and the sound system is alsa.'
i'm sure the approiate channels are unmuted. in the Video Setting, I tested all sound cards in the list, But i can't hear sound.

[Solved] No sound with ALSA (change default sound card)

I installed Arch on another laptop and I am unable to get sound working.

Two devices show up in alsamixer. The first (the default, I assume) shows up only an S/PDIF button that I can toggle. If I select the other sound card, I can change volume normally.
I followed this solution in the wiki with no success.
How can I make the second sound card the default one?

Yes, that is what I meant; F6 did not list them both when I use your options. I must have done something wrong the first time, because now it does.

Thanks for the link. That was what I was looking for.

TS3048 [SOLVED] after changing batteries: keyboard did not connect to iMac

After changing the batteries of my wireless keyboard, it refused to connect to the iMac.
It took me half an hour to discover that it was connected to my iPhone instead.
So if you ever created a BT connection on your iPhone, make sure it does not interfere with the iMac when you swap batteries...
I simply removed the BT connection on my iPhone.
Hope this helps others.

Please use Apple's Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues located by clicking http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3048. Also it is wise to keep a cheap USB keyboard & mouse around in the event of bluetooth problems.

[Solved] No sound on X, but it works on the console

I'm not sure what went wrong, so I'll tell the full story: I was struggling to get the Catalyst driver working. I have a Dell 5547, which has two graphics cards, an Intel HD 4400 and a Radeon R7 M260. I had installed the packages catalyst-hook and catalyst-utils-pxp from Vi0l0's repositories, but couldn't start X when I switched to the AMD card. Eventually, I downgraded to Xorg 1.14, also from Vi0l0's repositories, and now I was able to start X with both graphic cards. I'd read on The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill that downgrading to the Linux kernel 3.15.8 solved Daniel.White's problems, so I downloaded the corresponding linux and linux-headers packages from the Arch Rollback Machine. Later, I installed the last Linux kernel (version 3.16.1) and verified that I could still start X with both cards.
Before downgrading to Xorg 1.14, I installed Gnome 3 and everything worked great. I could listen to my music and watch videos on YouTube. Somewhere along the way, however, my sound stopped working. I'm using pulseaudio, and even after changing the settings using pavucontrol, I still can't get the audio to work -- on X. Sound works great on the console, but it refuses to work after I start X.
When I boot my computer and open an audio file with, say, mplayer, it complains that the "Audio device got stuck!"
pavucontrol reports that I have two built-in audio devices. The first one is off, and the second is set to "Analog Stereo Duplex". If I turn it off and then back on, mplayer stops complainning, but no sound comes out. On the "Output Devices" tab, pavucontrol now says that I have a "Dummy Output". It reverts back to normal once I reboot the machine.
Here's some info I think might be useful:
/etc/asound.conf:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {

Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks for reading!

Hi emeres, thanks for the answer. I edited /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa-base.conf as you suggested, then rebooted.
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel index=1
options snd-hda-intel index=0
$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
$ lspci -nn | grep -i audio

00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 8 Series HD Audio Controller [8086:9c20] (rev 04)
While mplayer is trying to play an MP3 file, I ran:
$ lspci -nn | grep -i audio
00:03.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller [8086:0a0c] (rev 0b)
00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 8 Series HD Audio Controller [8086:9c20] (rev 04)
I edited 50-alsa-base.conf once again and rebooted the system.
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel index=1,0
$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...
$ lspci -nn | grep -i audio

I even tried adding this to 50-alsa-base.conf:
options snd-hda-intel index=1 model=auto vid=8086 pid=0a0c
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto vid=8086 pid=9c20
Then rebooted. Nothing changed. I swapped the indexes and that didn't work either.
Then I exited Gnome and ran aplay -l on tty1:

pgrep indicated that pulseaudio was indeed running, and I could play an MP3 with mplayer -ao pulse a.mp3. So, pulseaudio is running before X starts. I've checked my ~/.xinitrc and /etc/X11/xinit. Nothing there. That's crazy; what could be running that only affects X? Also, this problem is window-manager independent. It doesn't matter whether I'm running gnome3 or i3, I can't play audio inside X. If I go to tty3, for instance, sound works just fine.

No sound in Flash after Rhythmbox

(I am fully aware there are over 9000 threads about Sound in Flash, however, many of them are 64-bit issues, or they aren't similar enough to my issue to work.)
Running 32-bit Arch on a Sony Viao VGN-CR507E (Sound card is Intel, along with 90% of other hardware)
Using Alsa & Pulseaudio. For some reason, I seem to need both. Just -Syu'ed.
Have installed: (pacman -Qe | grep -i pulse; pacman -Qe | grep -i alsa)
alsa-oss 1.0.17-2
alsa-plugins 1.0.24-3
alsa-utils 1.0.24.2-3
pulseaudio 1.1-1
pulseaudio-alsa 1-2
If I play a Flash video in any browser before loading and playing music with Rhythmbox, sound works just fine.
If I listen to music using Rhythmbox first, Flash's sound is nonexistent, and no combination of mixer settings lets sound play.
This seems to possibly be a Rhythmbox issue, as Flash's sound works fine after using Audacious.
A flash video played in VLC seems to be unaffected by this.
(I'm switching to Audacious as a temporary fix until this is truly solved.)

I assume you already did this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … #GStreamer

No Sound in VLC and Virtualbox

I have a workstation with two sound outputs - my ESI Juli@ and the HDMI out on my FirePro V5800. I have an issue where some applications cannot produce sound. That said, alsamixer and the OS itself do see the card, and it works just fine for sound from Firefox.
Originally, my issue was ALSA defaulting to the HDMI out and not giving me any audio. I first solved this by blacklisting the module for snd-hda-intel (the HDMI out). This "hack" allowed the OS to automatically choose the Juli@ as the default sound card and got sound working in the OS itself and Firefox. But then, I realized VLC and Virtualbox weren't working with the card and figured I should find a more proper solution. I got the following message from VLC:
"VLC failed to initialize your sound output device (if any).
Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue."
Looking at the ALSA page on the Arch wiki, I decided that manually reordering the modules was necessary. The documentation there was poor, though, and I couldn't figure it out. Eventually, I found a forum post about the above error message and someone put things in more simple language. As such, I've modified my modprobe.conf to look like this:
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
options snd-ice1724 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=1
I must've done something right, because the OS and Firefox get sound just fine with the Juli@ as the default sound card without me blacklisting the HDMI out's module. However, my issue in VLC and Virtualbox remains with the same errror message, so I figure I'm missing something.
Here is the output of aplay -l:

I'm thinking the system seeing the Juli@ as two devices means I need to add another line to modprobe.conf, but I'm not really sure at this point. It'd be awesome if someone a little more expert regarding ALSA and maybe this audio chipset could please give a guy some help.

BUMP for this one.
I've updated packages since then, as well as manually selecting ALSA as playback for these two programs with no luck. I've tried using the instructions here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … le-ice1724
But it seems like most of it isn't relevant... My Arch install has soundcore.ko.gz, snd-cmipci.ko.gz, and snd-ice1724.ko.gz just by proxy. The part about /etc/conf.modules is deprecated in Arch as well.
I'm dying to have sound in VLC and my VMs on my desktop. Please help!
