[SOLVED] Reconfigure audio outputs

Hi guys!
Some weeks ago, my motherboard died and I had to replace it. I bought an ASUS P8H61-MX USB3, wich has "8-channel high definition audio". However, when I tried to plug my 6.1 speakers to the new motherboard, it was like "wtf? only 3 connectors? where do I have to plug black and yellow jacks?". After some research, I got it working on Windows (colors didn't match, but the software included with the drivers did the trick). Now I have green2green, black2pink, yellow2blue, and can only plug the microphone to the front mic connector. If I "speaker-test -c 7", only Front Left and Front Right sound. How can I reconfigure the other two audio outputs on linux? I use Arch+Openbox, no DE.
Thank you.

[Solved] VLC 'Audio output failed' no sound from anything

Very new to Arch so not sure what outputs to post.
I installed arch about a week ago with no dramas, then after installing xfce-volumed I lost all sound and got this from vlc:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such file or directory.
So I did a new install and only installed vlc and the same thing happened again.
Here is the terminal output from vlc:

No. I doubt it's a hardware problem either. It's a matter of getting the right sound drivers loaded for your card. Don't give up on Arch yet. These are the experiences you embrace with Arch. Not run away from! :-)
You said you were new to Arch so stick to the Beginner's Guide starting out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide . Make sure you read every single sentence related to "sound".
The Wiki is an awesome resource. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page It's power is in the search box so do some generic searches there and it will take you to whole articles related to your problem.
For sound problems, be sure you check out:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sound
and
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA
at the very least.
In fact there's a whole page devoted to your sound card:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Realtek_ALC892
It mentions installing some packages from the AUR.
For AUR, you really want to install "yaourt".
Read about that here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt
Once you have that installed then you use it just like pacman with all the same switches. So to install the "alsa-driver.hda-intel.hda-codec-realtek-git" package from the AUR as the Realtec_ALC892 wiki page suggests, you'd issue "yaourt -S alsa-driver.hda-intel.hda-codec-realtek-git" from the command line running as your regular user.
Don't give up. It's time to dig!
Hopefully this will get you a little further down the street.

Hello! I have an iMac that I lose the audio output for certain profiles. The audio output will work on one profile, but when switching to another profile, I lose the audio output. I've reset the NVRAM/PRAM and that hasn't solved the problem. Help!

Hello!
I have an iMac (running iOS 10.6.8, not upgraded to Lion) that I'm having audio issues with. I have 5 profiles on this machine. The audio output will work fine out of one profile, then when switched to another, the profile will not have any audio output at all. Rebooting the machine will occasionally solve the problem. Administrator permissions are not the issue since this has also manifested itself on the administrator profile. I've also reset the NVRAM/PRAM and that hasn't helped. All my software is up to date and I recently upgraded the RAM to 2x2GB sticks. This problem was existing prior to the RAM upgrade.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hi Tony,
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

[SOLVED] Only HDMI/Displayport audio outputs; no sound from speakers

I have a Dell XPS14 running Arch, which has worked fine for a while, but now has suddenly stopped detecting the internal speakers and headphones, so it will not play sound. I have tried a few things to narrow down the problem, but I've had no luck so far. In GNOME shell, when I press the physical volume up/down buttons on my laptop, it displays a sound icon with "HDMI / DisplayPort" underneath . When I go into the gnome shell audio settings menu, everything is greyed out, and no output devices are listed.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what the problem might be or how I might go about troubleshooting it from here, I would appreciate it.
One thing that struck me was that I had installed a music player, Clementine, recently, and I'm not sure if I did or did not ever have sound after that. I installed Clementine and two optional gstreamer0.10 plugins (bad and ugly). Since this seemed like it would be possibly related, I've since removed Clementine, the new gstreamer plugins, and all of their dependencies not needed by any other package. So I now don't think that is likely to be the problem. Just to be thorough, though, here are the packages which were installed:

Thanks again for the info and suggestions. I thought the same thing regarding the sparse output of alsamixer, but since I never had trouble with the sound before, I don't know how much would have shown up when everything was working well.
I still haven't really found a smoking gun here, unfortunately. As far as I can tell, the power saving settings look about right, because the power saving settings for the HDMI audio (which works) looks to be the same as the others.
Thanks for the link with more information regarding the module options for the intel sound driver. I'm going to dig into those when I have time next week. The thing that makes me less optimistic that I'm going to fix it with module options is that I can't figure out how those module options would suddenly change.
I'm also going to try out the linux-lts kernel to see if it behaves any differently, and then maybe boot another distro with a usb key to see if it works, and if so, what looks different.
Here's what I get from the suggested tests. Let me know if anyone sees something strange that I missed.

[SOLVED] No HTML5 Audio output in Firefox

Hi folks, it seems I don't have any HTML5 audio output within Firefox and was hoping I could get some advice. Here's a run down of the situation:
Everything is unmuted in alsamixer.
Audio works through ALSA with every other application I've tried such as moc, vlc, mplayer etc.
I have an .asoundrc file which correctly sets the default and an alias for another card. I use it to switch audio when using mplayer sometimes.
I've used various HTML5 test pages that report audio tag and and playback is working.
Firebug console never reports any errors when trying to play audio within a page.
I've done a fair bit of searching but the documented solution is almost always to setup an .asoundrc config file, but I already have one.

[SOLVED] MPlayer/Pulseaudio, No audio output

I can't seem to figure out how to make mplayer's "ao=pulse" option to work.
It works fine with alsa, but I couldn't find anything definitive on Google about what might be wrong. I think one of the problems might be that I couldn't find any errors in mplayer's output.

Is there something else I can check with the MPlayer feedback?
Also, I'm using mplayer-vaapi, but I took a look at its abs PKGBUILD and it didn't have any configure options disabling pulseaudio. At least I'm assuming the abs PKGBUILDs reflect the default options that the binaries come with.

You were right about it being muted through the PA mixer! I didn't think about that, and installed pavucontrol. I figure I'll try to learn how to learn to do it through pactl/pacmd sometime.
Though, I have "flat-volumes = no" so I have a kind of global maximum volume and normally can set other applications' volumes individually from within the program. Pavucontrol reflects MPD+ncmpcpp volume changes, but apparently doesn't seem to pick up MPlayer's application volume.
Is there any way to fix MPlayer so it's internal volume adjustment will be the same as what is under Playback in pavucontrol? Or if it isn't exclusive to MPlayer, is there any way to have all applications start at the 100% playback volume (not the output device volume)?
EDIT: Quickly found it! Haha I had "softvol=yes" in my config file, I think to try to increase the Alsa volume when I had that on. Thanks for your help anyway!

[solved] installed KDE - just one audio output possible

hey folks,
i just installed KDE and uninstalled my former XFCE and Gnome.
i finished configuring my system and now i can only have one audio output at a time.
i'm using phonon-vlc and alsa. there are known issues or am i doing something wrong...?
edit: looks like phonon is the problem... clementine and firefox the same time are working...
Last edited by arcc (2012-02-28 17:43:45)

i remember having the same issue at one time, but after installing pulse it was ok. i think you have to install alsa-utils as well
although i never used phonon-vlc, try the phonon-mplayer which is much better in my opinion.

Audio output will not work on external speakers. Internal speakers will work. What do i do to replace audio output slot

audio output will not work on external speakers. Internal speakers will work. What do i do to replace audio output slot

Right click your volume icon in the notification area and select "volume control options". From there, you should be able to select the external speakers.
I hope that helps!
Best of luck,
Kyle

Help!! No AUDIO output from iMac through FW to mixing board (zed r16)

With my system stated below, I run an Allen-Heath ZED R16 board via FW. PROBLEM: I get NO Audio output to the R16 when I play iTunes or DVD/CDs in the iMac.
I DO get audio feed when I playback projects from Logic.
I have checked all System Prefs on the iMac (cahnged to the ZED); on Logic (changed to the ZED). I tried all different channels, routing, etc. NOTHING.
Can someone help?

Well, the Allen-Heath support site had the answer... quite surprised and pleased!!
Have to reconfigure the iMac speakers in the Audio/Midi preferences. The details are found in this URL:
http://allen-heath.helpserve.com/index.php?m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=238
The ZED R16 is a great board but certainly not Plug' n Play.

No Audio Output after Upgrading to windows 7; Soundblaster Card is installed

After upgrading to Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit), I found that my speakers (which are built into my HP w2207 monitor) are not recognized. In the notification area I have the speaker with a red x in it, and it says “No Audio Output Device is installed”.
I have a HP Pavilion D4890Y with the Sound Blaster Audigy X-FI 24-Bit Xtreme sound card. I tried looking in Device Manager, and found “Multimedia Audio Controller” under Other, which states no drivers could be found.
I tried following some of the advice online, and downloaded the latest Realtek High Definition Audio drivers, but and the download seems to run successfully, but I don’t notice any differences. When I reboot as prompted, I’ve still got the same error.
I then tried forcing the Audio Device to use a Realtek driver, but Windows protests (saying it’s not sure it’s compatable with my device, and I end up with “Realtek High Definition Audio” under “Sound, video and game controllers”, but it has a yellow exclamation point. If I click properties, the device status says “This device cannot start (Code 10).” If I try to update the driver I get the message that it cannot find the driver software.   If I uninstall the driver I’m back to the original problem (multimedia audio controller under original devices, with no known drivers).
I also tried downloading various files from the Creative site, but it’s not clear which one to use, and the 4 or 5 different ones I tried (including their recommended beta version for Windows 7), when each of them opens it says it can’t find any supported devices.
Suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,
"If the driver is a previous revision install it using the TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY tool that is part of the Windows 7 OS.
To use the tool, uninstall any drivers for the sound card you show listed in Control Panel/Programs/Uninstall Programs  list.  Delete the Device from Device Manager.
Download the revision of the driver from www.creative.com  website to a folder you've created and placed on your desktop.
After the driver is downloaded, navigate to the "setup.exe" of the driver and Right Click - select Troubleshoot Compatibility  ----
Let the compatibility tool select a possible solution then use its suggestion of TRY RECOMMENDED WINDOWS SETTINGS, if it does not find a solution it will submit only CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS and let you install it as you designate."
The preceding information comes from a Microsoft Windows 7 forum regarding an issue similar to yours.
the information you provided did verify that it is a sound blaster XiFi Extreme card as checked against the Vendor / Device list.
regards,
erico

Audio output device same for all users Yosemite

I use more then one account on my recent Macbook Pro. For the first account I like to have the audio output set to the speakers but for the other account I want the audio output set to the headphones.
With Mavericks the Macbook remembered the last audio settings for each user account.
With Yosemite any changes to the audio settings (input, output,system sound, etc.) on one account affects the audio setting on other the user account.
I tried various audio settings to see if it affected them all. It seems to.
I tried seeing if it happened only when the users accounts were logged in or it was different on boot etc. It seems to always change the settings for all users no matter what.
I tried resetting the PRAM but that did not solve it.
I tried a 3rd party program called AudiSwitcher from the App store to see if this could help but no luck.
I searched here and more widely to see if anyone else was reporting this and found one other person who seemed to mention the same problem and they concluded "I did some tests and came to the conclusion that the system now does not remember settings for each user, and applies the current setting of audio output for all accounts."
Curious to know:
     a) Does this affect other people? If not, I'll look for conflicting apps on my computer.
     b) Is this intended behavior or should I look for a way to report it as a bug?
     c) And most importantly if there is a way around it?
Thanks!

I'm also have the same problem. I tested it on fresh Yosemite installation without any additional software. Your mentioned my conclusion about tests.

[SOLVED] Default audio device no longer works after reboot

After today's reboot, the audio device no longer works. E.g., VLC says:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such file or directory.
This is the console log:

[0x7fac41055118] main decoder error: failed to create audio output
The strange thing is that the sound card does in fact work; e.g. the sound test for "HDA Intel PCH", the first entry in my KDE Audio Settings, works. But the entry "default" does not and I suppose that is also the device that VLC is complaining about.
I've tried blacklisting the HDMI driver and switched to the other audio output modules in VLC. I've also checked I'm still member of the "audio" group.
Edit:
P.S. Solved this myself. I had a USB-to-MIDI adapter cable plugged in during boot, which seems to have been causing these problems. I suppose systemd thought it was a USB sound card? I was wondering why dmesg said something about USB sound when the computer doesn't have any USB sound devices. Hardware detection epic fail. Although I guess the cable counts as a MIDI device at least, so in a way it's correct.
So it looks like I'll always have to unplug the MIDI cable before rebooting.

Issue with HDMI audio output

Hello everyone,
this is my first post in Arch Linux forum. I am a Newbie but have always managed to work things around with ArchWiki documentation, but I am having an issue I could not solve for some time now.
My HDMI audio output was working fine, but stoped working about a month ago, maybe due to some update. I use the open source ATI driver (xf86-video-ati package), and enabled the kernel parameter radeon.audio=1, like it is documented.
My graphics card is a Radeon HD 3650. I checked for the compatibility of the driver (http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#De … ting_names) and it seems to be ok.
Do you have any suggestion to help me?
Thank you in advance
