[solved] no sound when booting with webcam attached

Hi everybody,
hopefully this is the right section to post since I'm not quite sure if the problem is related to KDE or a general hardware thing. ;-)
Anyway, the problem that I have is that I don't have any sound at all when booting my system while my webcam, a logitech 9000 pro, is attached to the USB port.
Even when unplugging the webcam afterwards the sound does not work. I need to reboot my system first with the webcam detached and than it'll work again. I also did already manually insert the modules in /etc/rc.conf but no change. Every time it seems that the webcams audio interface will be recognized as the primary audio device.
When not having the camera plugged in and plugging it in while KDE is up, everything works like a charm.
But of course it bothers me quite big time to unplug the webcam every time after using it and rebooting the system again after I forgot to unplug it.
I also checked for other modules to be loaded automatically (compared the output of lsmod before and after plugging in the webcam) but there was no change.
So does anyone have an idea what to do in order to get the order of the audio devices right?
Thank you!...

In your /etc/rc.d/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf try to put zero index for your audio driver, so it will load first. In my case it's this line:
options snd-hda-intel index=0

  • DAQ Input Signal kept rising and stop at Max Voltage when run with nothing attached

    I just installed PCI 6229 card and a BNC 2110 (Labview 8.6v). When I started the DAQ Input, the signal kept rising and stop at max Voltage  (10V) when run with nothing attached (instead of fluctuating at around 0). Just wondering what's wrong with it and how to solve it. Terminal configuration was "Differential"
    I just created an input DAQ with a scope and while loop to look at it. Please let me know if I do anything wrong
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I just re-read your original post.  Why do you have the terminal setting to differential?  This sounds like a single ended setup to me.  Change the terminal setting to RSE.  With a differential setting. you need to connect one source to AI1 and another source to AI9.  The difference between the two will be reported.  With RSE, only AI1 will matter and the voltage with respect to ground will be reported.  Make sure you have your AO ground tied to your AI ground.

  • Continious beeping sound when booting up Satellite L350-235

    Hi everyone,
    I have an issue on one of our Toshiba's. it gives me now a Continious beeping sound when booting up the machine after giving in the bootpw.
    If i remove the battery and plug it back in it boots normally. But After the next reboot the problem occurs again.
    Any idea?
    Wim Bolanger

    Hi WimB_1,
    > it gives me now a Continious beeping sound when booting up the machine
    That means your hardware is malfunctioning and something must be repaired or exchanged.
    So in my opinion you should contact an authorized service provider. The guys can check your notebook and repair it. If your notebook is under warranty, the repair is for free.
    Here you can find a list of them:

    I compiled my kernel with this line:
    # make -s clean bzImage modules modules_install
    Any ideas?

    Ok, I fixed it.
    When doing mkinitrd auto it would make an initrd image from the modules at /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH when it had to do it from /lib/modules/2.6.16.18-ARCH
    I fixed it with 
    mkinitrd kernel_version=2.6.16.18-ARCH
    Also my menu.lst was wrong, a new image was created under the name of
    initrd-2.6.16.18-ARCH.img.
    My menu.lst pointed to initrd26.img. I didn't change it before because I didn't know, someone should update the wiki article about compiling the kernel from source.

  • [SOLVED] RTC and dual booting with Windows 8/8.1

    I am planning ahead of installing Arch on a windows 8.1 laptop, and need to understand whether or not the known Windows registry hack to get windows to use UTC for the RTC is still valid for Windows 8/8.1?  I have been searching via google and the usual sources of information, but it is not clear to me if there are problems doing this, specifically if arch is dual booted with Windows 8/8.1 rather than older versions of the MS OS. Certainly I have used the technique without any problem in the past when dual booting Windows XP with Arch on several different machines.
    Does anyone have personal experience with doing this on a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine and can report here on whether it works successfully or not?
    Thanks for any advice.
    Last edited by mcloaked (2014-02-11 21:16:21)

    Since there were no replies at this point I thought I would just go ahead and implement the registry hack on the Windows 8.1 O/S in the laptop and see if Windows behaves.  It appears to be OK, with the displayed time being correct after reboot, and time synchronisation remaining fine with no problems seen in the displayed time, although I won't be able to read the RTC directly until I have completed the Arch install in the coming week or two.  I now don't foresee any issues with the time synchronisation between booting Arch and Windows 8.1 so I will mark this as solved.
    Since the RTC is now in UTC then normal clock config in Arch using chrony should perform normally once the install is done and the new system set up.

  • Metallic scraping sound when booting Mac mini

    Hi,
    I just bought a Mac mini last week, and I've noticed that when I start it up, there's a sequence of two metallic scraping sounds coming out it when I start it up. I'm guessing that it's some part of the optical drive mechanism checking to see if a disc is inserted (there isn't a disc in the drive), but the noise is much louder than I've experienced when booting any other Mac or Windows machine that I've used. Is this normal, or is this something that needs investigation? If it matters, I have Boot Camp installed, so Snow Leopard is on one partition of the hard drive, and Windows Vista is on the other. The sound occurs regardless of which partition is set to be the boot partition.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Hi,
    Thanks for the info. I confirmed at one of the Apple Stores near me that the sound is exactly as you described it. I agree with you, this is the noisiest optical drive that I've ever heard, significantly louder than the sound that an empty floppy drive makes when booting a Windows machine.
    Thanks again,
    Ken

  • [solved] Black screen when booting installation

    The basic problem. I have a HD6870, my monitor is connected through DVI (& my second one through HDMI). No integrated graphics.
    After I try to boot the x64_86 version, the screen goes black after 'booting kernel'.
    Things I've tried:
    radeon.modeset=0 (gives drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS suppot in radeon module)
    radeon.modeset=1 (black screen)
    nomodeset (drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS suppot in radeon module)
    disconnected second screen (black screen)
    video=SVIDEO-1:d (black screen)
    i915.modeset=0 (I have no intel, but black screen)
    acpi=off (doesn't work either).
    It is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?

    I initially thought the same, tried with DVI, HDMI single and double monitor, but it didn't work.

    See above.
    EDIT 2: putting HD in AHCI mode makes just the screen black. Backlight stays on. In Knoppix and Ubuntu it makes the kernel hang at booting kernel _

  • Getting white screen when booting with alt key

    Hi, I've installed windows 7 with boot camp on my brand new iMac 27" on OS X Lion.
    Everything works fine when I configure boot camp to start as mac, or as windows.
    However If I press the alt key when booting, as per this tutorial http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/04/boot-camp-tutorial-install-windows-xp.html I get a white screen and that's it. Any Idea as to what might be the problem?

    Hi
    Try resetting the Parameter RAM (PRAM) - pronounced peeram. Restart the mac and depress the P, R, alt and command keys simultaneously. You should hear the boot chime. Keep the keys depressed until you hear the boot chime three more times. Release the keys thereafter.
    Other possibilities are: you're filling up the hard drive and you need to clear some space; a problem is developing with the hard drive and/or directory structure. You need to run a disk repair utility such as fsck, DU's Repair Disk coupled with Repairing Privileges or something 3rd-Party such as Disk Warrior.

  • No sound when previewing with ADVC300 and iMovie11

    Folks,
    I get no sound when I am PREVIEWING a VHS tape running through my new ADVC300. When I go to import a clip off the VHS tape, again I have no sound. However when I play that same clip in the Event Library, it plays just fine WITH SOUND.
    I am open to suggestions.

    When I go to import a clip off the VHS tape, again I have no sound.
    That is normal with iMovie 08 - 11.
    For making a DVD from a VHS tape, I use iMovie 06, an ADVC300 and iDVD 11.
    There is a regresssion in quality of the image between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08 through 11.
    The difference is the single field processing used by iMovie 11 (for faster editing) and the fact that it throws out every other horizontal line.
    Final Cut Express and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 will give full quality but are more complicated to use.
    Your workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, iMovie '06 is better suited. Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels, aspect ratio, and original quality.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 is a 100% "lossless" combination and my DVD's look like they came from Hollywood!

  • Intermittent sound on boot with Pavilion dv5

    Windows Vista
    Product number: NM597PA#ABG
    Ever since I started connecting my notebook to a second monitor with HDMI I've encountered a problem where it will only boot with audio roughly one in three times. The problem persists even when I revert to the previous setup I had, and when I run the notebook without any peripherals at all. Putting the notebook into sleep mode will also instigate the problem.
    Cheers.

    Can you try uninstall the audio driver and then re-install again?

  • MacBook Pro Retina, won't boot with USB3 attached.

    Hi!
    Enjoying my new computer(ofcourse), thought i ran into a troublesome problem:
    I plugged in Flashdrive 2, restarted and starting to hold alt to get into the boot menu.
    But it never showed up(tested for about 5min), the screen showed up in gray, but then no more action was seen.
    I pulled out Flashdrive 2 and had to hold the power key for a hard stop.
    Then started the computer as normal and the boot menu showed up just as normal!
    I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 1.
    And the very same course was repeated.
    Again I repeated the process but with Flashdrive 3 (with the very same ISO on it).
    The install of windows succeded without any problem at all!
    Note: When booted up in OSX i can read and format all the drives wiihout any type of error.
    Computer: MacBook Pro Retina; RAM: 8gb, SSD: 256gb. MacBook Pro and Air Update 1.0 Installed.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI - Booting with USB attached

    I've been unable to find anything definitive about this, so here goes:
    I have problems with booting (hangs on post) when I have USB devices plugged in (i.e. thumb drive, ext USB drive, USB scanner). I am using v3.6 now, but haven't tried v3.7. I've received advice in the past to check BIOS - disable boot to USB device - but it still doesn't fix the problem.
    Anyone experience this and know exactly how to fix it? I'm tired of disconnecting/reconnecting everything all the time.
    Thanks!

    OK
    I decided to take the plunge and update to BIOS v3.7, which I hate doing because MSI tends to break things while fixing others in their updates.
    And guess what....it works!!!!!!!
    I plugged in a thumb drive, USB scanner, and external USB hard drive, and it boot with them all connected.

  • Kernel Panic When Booting with Install DVD

    I get a kernel panic when booting from the OSX 4 (tiger) install DVD. I am using a Quad G-5 with 8 gigs of ram.

    Have to ask what version your Quad came with, whether same DVD you are using now. Apple now has Tiger DVDs w/ 10.4.6 for sale.
    When booting, or when you get to the screen to select Languages on the initial screen (before you can select DU or Installer etc)?
    How about Option booting to Apple Hardware Test and running extended test?
    Did you run memtest or anything when you installed RAM (assuming you didn't buy it BTO w/ 8GB).
    Any time adding or changing hardware, including memory, it is either a good policy or essential in some cases to boot into Open Firmware (command option of) on startup and type "reset-nvram" and 'reset-all" after installing. Same for PCIe or even swapping out disk drive (where sometimes a drive won't show up or allow you to partition).

  • [SOLVED] Disabling Bluetooth on boot with systemd

    I'm having a nasty-won't-go-away problem with the disabling of the bluetooth module in my Thinkpad X200s.
    Resorting to the old Arch way of disabling bluetooth on boot, I added this to my rc.local:
    /bin/echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable
    The thing is, this somehow made my boots hit'n'miss: kernel panics every two boots. As soon as I commented that line from my rc.local... no more kernel panics at boot.
    I was still using an rc.conf just with daemons, and in troubleshooting the kernel panics got rid of it and used the systemd way of enabling/disabling services. My problem here is that the bluetooth service seems to be impossible to disable.
    I first tried the good ol'
    systemctl disable bluetooth.service
    Which supposedly disabled bluetooth... but didn't. Even
    systemctl stop bluetooth.service
    Does not work.
    Digging around the interwebs, I found that there are "stronger" ways to disable services with systemd, meaning "masking" services - basically links them to /dev/null
    So, I tried masking the bugger...
    systemctl mask bluetooth.service
    Reboot and... the damn bluetooth is still enabled. Only way that works is to echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/bluetooth_enable... but I can't do it at boot with rc.local, otherwise I'll get the kernel panics again.
    Any ideas?

    It disables the bluetooth service which is very different from what your write to sysfs accomplishes. Don't you really just want to blacklist the bluetooth module? Your post is a bit hard to follow...
