[SOLVED] Speaker volume set to 0 when PulseAudio starts

Hi guys,
last pacman -Syu which I've run on February 1, 2013 brought some terrible bugs to me. E.g. the CPU fan is running permanently at full speed. Another one ist that the level of the speaker channel is set to zero every time PulseAudio starts, see attached picture:
It's related to this bugs:
1. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59217
2. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54673
3. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/921397
The fix for the first bug didn't work for me (modifying /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker-always.conf). As in the first bug report, I also have a Dell XPS L502X.
pacman -Syu upgraded pulseaudio from 2.1-1 to 3.0-2, see pacman.log:

Maybe someone know how to fix it. Please inform me if you need additional information or if I should better open a bug report for this issue.
Thank you.

Thank you all for your help, especially adee. pulseaudio-git package from AUR solves the problem. Therefore, I think it's not necessary to open another bug report at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/describeco … PulseAudio.

Howto set monitor resolution when I start with the monitor turned of ?

Hello,
I use the onboard Intel HD 4000 to display on my Dell monitor which works out of the box with native 2560x1600 resolution as long as I boot with the monitor turned on (both console and X11).
The problem is that sometimes I don't boot with the monitor being powered on and just need the monitor later.
I found in aur the program read-edid which gives me the needed info in case my monitor isn't powered at boot.
How could I use that information, for the console (I guess it's relared to grub2) and for X11 ?
Thank you very much !!!

This is related to KMS.
Take a look in the wiki: Kernel Mode Setting: Forcing modes and EDID and Intel Graphics: KMS (Kernel Mode Setting)

Very low volume from external speakers when watching Netflix

MacBook Pro Why might external speaker volume be extremely low when it is turned up to max in Sounds and on F11?

Do the external speakers have their own volume control?

Why does the volume maximize by default when I plug in my headphones?

Every time I plug in my headphones, if I don't check first and lower the volume, the sound is automatically maximized all the way up and blares through my headphones. Is there a setting or something to get my iPhone to stop doing this? This has got to be the stupidest feature.

The volume is suppposed to return to the last volume setting you had when you last used your headphones, not maximum unless that's where you left the volume (this is not a "stupid feature", it is some sort of corruption). It does not matter if it is headphones or an aux connection, the iPhone should remember the last volume setting for whatever was last plugged into the headphone jack, it can't tell the difference.
Before you run off to an Apple store, try the usual fixes first:
- Power OFF/ON, or
- Reset (press and hold Home and Sleep/Wake until you see Apple logo, then release), or
- Restore (connect to iTunes, initiate a backup, then click Restore button) At the end, re-load your last backup and all your media.

Speaker volume improvement in 1.1.3?

Has anyone noticed that the speaker volume has improved significantly when using phone speaker or listening to ipod music?

yeah as far as i can tell it seems about the same as previous update.

When I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting?

I'm trying to mix a recording in the latest 2014 version of Garageband, but when I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting? Does anyone know why it changes even after saving the file?
Below is my iMac settings.

Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

IPhone speaker volume changes when connected to apple tv

If anyone has had this problem as well I would be interested but when I first got my iPhone 4S I realized it was loud. After disconnecting from the apple tv my max volume is lower. When I reconnect to the apple tv (by using it to play music from my phone) the my volume is louder again. Is this a bug or just my phone. Lol. And yes my volume is maxed out in both situations. It's almost like the speakers get boosted when connected to a different audio source.

You would need to connect the speakers to the apple tv if that is where the video is playing.

Speaker Volume Specific Setting?

I’m just wondering if there is another way to control the speaker volume within the iPhone. If I want to bring the speaker level up I need to go into iPod and then raise the volume (I can do this with YouTube, too).

How about that volume button on the left hand side of the iPhone. That would be the larger of the two buttons. Also in settings under sounds.

[SOLVED] `Vim/Gvim: set mouse=a works only in Gvim?

I'm diving into the world of (g)vim this weekend and although I'm starting to get the hang of things, I seem to be having a problem with the mouse functionality. I have set mouse=a specified in my .vimrc and gvim respects it, but when I run vi in a terminal session (urxvt) I have to explicitly type :set mouse=a in ex mode before it will work. Am I missing something?
Here's what I've got in my .vimrc (linked also ~/.gvimrc) so far:
" (G)vim settings
set nocompatible " use gVim defaults
colorscheme wombat " define syntax color scheme
syntax on " enable syntax highlighting
set mouse=a " make sure mouse is used in all cases.
set backspace=2 " full backspacing capabilities
set nocindent " set C style indenting off
set cmdheight=2 " command line height
set ignorecase " ignore case in search patterns
set laststatus=2 " occasions to show status line, 2=always.
set ruler " ruler display in status line
set showmode " show mode at bottom of screen
set number " toggle line numbers
set nobackup " disable backup files (filename~)
set hlsearch " highlight all search results
set showmatch " show matching brackets (),{},[]
" Gvim Settings
set guioptions-=T " disable toolbar icons
set guifont=Consolas\ 8 " backslash any spaces
SOLVED: Silly me I was running 'vi' which has no X support... pacman -S vim fixed it fine.

I just had an issue with no sound after recent updates. Not sure it's the same problem you are having.
I found I had to open Audio Mixer, select Sound card: HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer), Select Controls, check box for Speaker and check box for Headphones. After doing this I found the Speaker volume was set at minimum (although Master and PCM were already set at maximum). Adjusted Speaker volume up and I finally had sound again.

IPad mini retina low speaker volume

I've just bought my iPad mini retina and I have noticed that the speaker volume is very low. I know the speakers are small as of the size of the device but even my iphone 5s with one speaker is louder and was not sure if this was normal or my device not working correctly? I've got until 11th of jan to take back for exchange and would rather get it sorted before that if it is the device causing this issue

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.

Voice memo volume very low, it played normally then today very low even with volume set full blast.

I played my voice memos yesterday and the volume was fine. Today I can bearly hear them. I have the volume set to the highest with the buttons on the side. Any thoughts?
NCMead

Hello NCMead,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'd like you to take a look a the follow support article, specifically starting at step 5:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

[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)

I guess it might be a rather basic configuration step that I missed and am blind to see. If so, sorry for wasting your time :-/ Hint appreciated.

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] Speaker volume set to 0 when PulseAudio starts
