[SOLVED]No Sound with ALSA - Intel Corporation 82801G HD Audio

Hey all,
I've succesfully installed Arch Linux. My past two attempts have met with failure, all because of my own failure to read and follow directions correctly. This time everything is installed correctly. I am running Kdemod3 on my laptop with Arch and everything works great. I LOVE Pacman and the simplicity of Arch's configuration files. It's super fast and all together simple. My only remaining problem is this:
My sound with ALSA is not functioning. I followed the installation instructions at the arch wiki and after unmuting all of my channels I still would not get any sound. My sound module is snd_hda_intel and it is detected, loaded and the whole nine yards (as far as I can tell). My user is a member of the 'audio' user group also. I looked at the troubleshooting tips on the bottom of the Wiki but decided not to try them as they do not seem to pertain to my card (snd_hda_intel) but I will try them if anyone would like me to.
If anyone has any ideas, they'd be greatly appreciated!:D Anything I can provide that you need I will be more than willing to provide.
Thanks for such a great distribution,
Dan

Problem resolved. I ran alsaconf, selected my soundcard, and everything was working from there out. Thanks MisfitI38 on the IRC!!!

  • [SOLVED] No Sound with ALSA & Pulseaudio

    Recently I made the transition from Debian to Arch, installed on a
    seperate partition using the chroot install method.
    All went smoothly, with the exception that there is no audio whatsoever.
    Over the last week I've read through the related topics on the wiki and searched the forum,
    but to no avail
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    a couple of days i had a similar problem, because sound modules for my internal modem were loaded. maybe you can try to blacklist the snd_hda_codec_realtek module, which looks like a network card.
    you can achieve that by putting
    blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek
    in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and reboot.

  • [SOLVED] Low sound with ALSA

    Hi! I'm using alsa on a laptop with master, speaker and PCM at 100%, and I still can't get an output as loud as I'd like.
    On ubuntu with pulseaudio, I had the option of setting the volume to 120% on the sound preferences menu, which made a desirable volume level for me. Is there an equivalent thing in arch? Is this like setting PCM to something higher than 0b?
    Cheers!

    Just installed pulseaudio. Not really a solution to the name of this thread, since I didn't get a loud volume with ALSA, but it solves my problem of having low volume on my PC

  • [SOLVED]No sound with ALSA. I'm looking for help with troubleshooting.

    Hi!
    Recently I bought a new laptop (HP Probook 450 G1). For some reason I can't hear sound from the laptop's speaker or headphones. I already read the troubleshooting guide on wiki. Unfortunately none of the solutions described on the wiki helped. I'm not using PulseAudio and I'm out of ideas.

    So that the right output becomes the all-important *default* output. And it's conveniently a simple one-liner.
     I am very aware of that, why not use index instead? It is as convenient as enable. Why leave the user with a disabled device, when it can continue to work? I consider this highly inefficient, because it does not solve the actual issue and creates a potential problem in the future.
     In this case, user interaction was the cause, so it does not matter.

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

    I installed Arch on another laptop and I am unable to get sound working.
    # lspci | grep -i audio

    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?

  • No sound with ALSA and/or Pulse from built-in Intel 5 Series Card

    Hello,
    I posted a thread about a similar problem to this 4 years ago, but that solution is no longer working for me, and I'm just now returning to Arch after floating between a few different distros, so I'm not as knowledgeable about this as I might once have been.
    Basically, my problem is that sound does not work on my laptop, neither through the internal speakers or headphone jack, and neither with plain ALSA nor Pulseaudio. This leads me to believe that there is some underlying problem that once solved, will allow plain ALSA and Pulse to work properly, but that's just speculation. I've put several hours of research into this so far with no luck. Everything in alsamixer is unmuted and looks right. I'm going to dump as much relevant info on my setup below in hopes that someone more knowledgeable than I can spot the issue:

    same problem with me on Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series.
    actually, internal speakers works, it's just on mute (you can change it with alsamixer), but headphone/external speakers doesn't work. and there's no sound card detected in gnome control center -> audio section.

  • No sound with ALSA on Intel ICH5/ICH5R

    Howdy.
    I just installed Arch and can't seem to get sound working.. I have an Intel ICH5/ICH5R as displayed by lspci..

    /proc/asound/card sees it and so does "alsaconf" but when I eventually go to use alsamixer..
    # alsamixer
    alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
    It displays ^ that. (Which is being run by root)
    Any ideas? (I've seen a lot of people suggesting moving to OSS which would be a bother..)

  • [solved] no sound with multimedia apps using Pulseaudio Dummy drive

    It seems audio issues are kindof frequent atm, but I couldn't solve the strange issue using the informations provided in the threads nor the wiki
    Issue:
    One app plays audio just fine: Deadbeef Audio player, but no activity shows up in Pavucontrol while playing.
        Deadbeef uses default Alsa outpput (currently Pulse audio server)
    The other multimedia that I use or tried (mplayer, VLC and paplay test.wav) play files with no sound to be heard. Pavucontrol just shows 'dummy output' activity
    as for mplayer that is the case with default pulse and alsa audio drivers
    Context:
    1/ Recently switched from ALSA to PulseAudio
    Have no  ~/.asoundrc
    2/ First appeared when:
    Installed software updates last week. I lazily hoped it will resolve itself with the next update which it didn't so far. None of the packets I updated had linux|pulse|alsa|sound|audio in its name.
    Another issue appeared at the same time: no software is able to play any media from the DVD drive. The optical drive itself is well recognized whether by 'lsscsi' or /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
    3/ PulseAudio did not start today after booting the system
    $ pulseaudio --start
        E: [pulseaudio] main.c: daemon startup failed
    Started OK after commenting "/etc/pulse/default.pa" config line that remap microphone to mono for Skype (as per the Pulseaudio wiki)

    Really? What do you think relevant_snd_module is? When you copy something from another thread, maybe it would be wise to read through it first. I tried to explain that there is no relevant_snd_module, it is a hint to the user, yes you, to use the module that is relevant in users case, which often is snd_hda_intel, which again is also mentioned in the other thread. Read it and correct your post accordingly please.
    As for the issue at hand, is module-suspend-on-idle loaded? If so, disable and unload it. Start PA with '-vvvv' switch and post the log here. You might want to try defaulting the configuration for PA, meaning delete your ~/.config/pulse. Does your GPU have a hdmi sound card?
    Check if you can get sound output with PA killed through speaker-test:
    speaker-test -c 8 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD PCH DEV 0}"
    speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD PCH DEV 0}"
    Both should work launched in that order at the same time.

  • [SOLVED] No sound (with flash)

    Hello.

    I am using ALSA.

    Orrrr it's because the flash plugin uses OSS.
    run `aoss firefox` and be happy.
    OSS does still work or at least the alsa backwards compatibility layer that emulates the old interfaces, right? did i miss anything?
    for newer versions of flash (like version 9) simply install firefox in wine and let it install the plugin. that usually works great!

  • Sound from speakers Intel Corporation 82801JI

    I just installed alsa , and when there is no sound playing i get a noise trough my speakers, sounds like my coimpueter has a pulse lol
    here is the audio line from lspci
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller
    How can i stop this nouse?
    any pointers will be appriciated, thanks Markp1989

    The power meter or the speakers or the cables aren't properly shielded. My bet is on the meter.
    If you wish to use the power meter, move the speakers and all cables as far away from the meter as possible and move the power meter as far away from your computer as you can. My own preference would be to not use the meter. Or I'd learn to dance to the beat.

  • No sound with ALSA & Fluidsynth enabled (as normal user)

    Ahoy!
    I'm using pure ALSA (no pulseaudio) and I have a problem that when I start Fluidsynth I have no sound anymore. Without starting Fluidsynth, everything is working just fine.
    I can play sound with Fluidsynth enabled though when I add myself to the audio group. However, I didn't need to do that in the past. In fact, I have Fluidsynth up and running with ALSA on my laptop and everything works just fine and I remember reading in the wiki that the user is not supposed to be added to the audio group.
    Here's some information:

    Thanks. I've set Fluidsynth up the way it is described in the wiki (FluidSynth). If I'm not mistaken it is already started with the "-a alsa" option through the config file (SYNTHOPTS="-is -a alsa -m alsa_seq -r 48000" ).
    Well, since adding the user to the audio group fixes the problem I'll do that now.

  • [Solved] No sound, missing alsa.conf?

    Hi Everyone,
    Tried looking this stuff up myself but found nothing helpful. I have no sound. Here's what happens when i try amixer
    amixer
    ALSA lib conf.c:3707:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
    ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default
    amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Reinstall alsa-lib, it provides /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.

    I think you confused 'alsaconf' binary with 'alsa.conf' config.
