[Solved] XBMC no Sound after update

Hi Everyone, I setup XBMC on my Arch install. I wanted to make XBMC standalone so I did:
systemctl enable xbmc
Everything was fine for a while , except that it didn't always boot straight into XBMC but ..one problem at a time.
Fast-forward, I updated recently (pacman -Syy then pacman -Syu)
I boot in...
No sound...
I checked my groups and the XBMC user is in the Audio group...I can get my sound to work if I login to a XFCE session and then launch XBMC.
When I boot straight into XBMC.. No sound.
The audio output options are different as well...
This is driving me crazy, can someone help Please.
Cheers,

Are you sure your user needs to be in the audio group? I think systemd doesn't like that.
Post what packages did you update.
What do you mean by 'no sound'? More details please.
Edit: I see that xbmc service file got changed https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … 13e315dea8 but I don't know if it matters.

- Sound is restored
- You can set the slider back to rotation lock again

HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
(I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2)
And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

Poor sound after updating to ISO 7

Poor sound after updating to ISO 7. Before updating i had terrific sound both on my music and videos I recorded with my cam, i had to turn it down. Now, after update, i put volym on Max and can hardly hear the music or whatever. Anyone else with same problem?

I also loved my iphone because it HAD great sound. Since the update of the iso7 for my iphone 4s, i am missing my calls because I cannot hear the phone ringing. The sound is so low even though I have it on the highest sound possible. The is something in the update that caused this problem among others such as the phone blinking out while I am viewing videos. Help Apple! THe battery is going from 100 percent to 20 percent in two hours even when I have almost turned off everything on my iphone. I need my sound back! Apple please find out what happened in your update that caused the loss of the sound!

And yes, I know what's the problem with Pulseaudio - the tip in Arch Wiki didn't help.
Edit: Oh, I only tried that workaround, I didn't try to change user. I'll edit mpd.conf when I come back home.
according to your config, you used that workaround wrongly. it will only work, if you point to the pulse server IP in mpd.conf. So add the server line in your pulse output. (its most likely 127.0.0.1)

No sound after updating to 10.7.3 - no boot camp available

All sounds gone after updating to 10.7.3
tried to reset NVRAM + PRAM via pressing (cmd)+(alt)+(p)+(r) while starting - this was not helping.
Found also the thread below, but i have no boot camp available
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17477460
All ideas welcome----

You should correct the model of mac, cannot be PowerBook, perhaps MacBook or MacBook Pro.
I have read that many people have had problems after last update, here all is fine. The only idea I have is to download from Apple site the combo update (the bigger update), and re-run it. This often solves issues.
As about BC, can you see that partition in Disk Utility? If yes, open Finder preferences, do setttings look like here?

Update:
Tried reinstalling, change the fonts, remove all font clear the cache.
change, look up the settings, looked up size, tried monitor dpi.
checked all the config files for anything remotely related to this problem.
Had a quick look at the bug tracker for google-chrome-beta as well no reported
font problems as far as i can find.
Update2:
Tried adding custom.css to the browser not even that worked.
update3: [SOLVED]
So i solved the problem.
The problem was a faulty font that was stuck and used in the pre somehow.
Removed and added another to the list and somehow that worked.
recommendations - if anyone has this problem in the future.
open firefox and look in the font tab what is used. and remove that
or try to install a fixed one. that should work.
-Nothing has yielded any working results.
So any ideas at this point would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
-L

No more sound after update to IOS 8

After updating to IOS 8 the ringtone, keyboard click etc.. doesn't function anymore.
Earphone works alright.
When rolling back to IOS 7.1.2 all works fine so I think I can rule out a
hardware problem.
I have checked/tried the following:
-Mute bottom
-Volume
-DND function
-turning off Bluetooth
-turning off Wi-Fi
-Checked airplay
-cleaned connectors
I already had this problems
when I was trying the beta versions of IOS 8 and assumed that it was a beta
bug. So I downgraded to IOS 7 in the hope that by the release of IOS8 it would have
been solved. Apparently not...
Anyone some ideas what I can do?
I am using an iPhone5 (32GB)
P.

Although this reply is late. I just want to share that I have the same issue - no LTE after upgrade to 8.1.3 on my iPhone 5. No matter switch on/off iPhone or LTE option or Airplane Mode - they all didn't work....but after an upgrade to 8.2 today. I got my LTE back now after a month...not sure if it is a bug or a reset work. Good luck to anyone who looking for the resolution of same issue.

Problem with sound after update

Hello
After update to 11.3 I have no bass sound in subwoofer in Firefox browser (youtube). I uninstall the newest version and install previous (11.2) and bass plays ok.
My os: Windows 7 x64. Sound card Creative X-fi.

Hello!
My problem is summed up in this topic.
Updated Flash Player with 11.3 this morning (june 12th 2012) and since then my 7.1 Sound System works only 2.1. If i enable EAX Effects, works on 7.1 but since it`s just a room it sounds very odd.
I have no problem with sound on HTML 5 websites for that matter, Winamp, Video Players, games.
Uninstalled Flash Player, sounds work ok without it on different browsers, other than Chrome (since it has FP built in).
I hope for a sollution soon.
Thank you.
*edit*
Untill there is a permanent solution, i found a way to deal with my issue and i hope it will help others.
I personally use Chrome and this is for this browser:
1. Type "about:plugins" w/o the quotation in the navigation bar.
2. On the upper right u will see "Details" click it then find the word "flash", and you will see something like this:
Flash (3 files) - Version: 11,3,300,257
Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Version: 11,3,300,257
3. I say again, this worked for me on Chrome. The 3 files i have, two of them are Version 11,3,300,257 and one is 11.2.31.144
4. Simply disable the lates version 11.3 and enable the previous version 11.2
I hope this helps.

[Solved] Severely broken system after update

I need help with system that doesn't boot after update.
I tried to make pacman -Syu on a system which was not updated since 2010 xmass... probably being overwhelmed by number of issues I did something wrong, but now the system is in a very bad state.
I think that the main issue was glibc update. I followed the instruction to install all other packages before glibc, but every second package was complaining about glibc (although they all updated). Then pacman became broken, but I solved this and finally everything got updated.
Everything looked fine right after update, but now the system is "unable to find root device" on boot.
I tried to boot with recent arch usb stick (cd drive is broken in the computer), but it doesn't boot (reboots right after "loading archiso.img"). I managed to boot with ubuntu usb stick. I chrooted to my arch partition using these instructions:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chroot#Change_root
then, following pacman wiki I reinstalled linux, mkinitcpio and systemd.
It didn't help. The last thing I can think of is to reinstall all packages via chroot. Is there any handy way to do this, taking into account that some packages could have been installed from AUR (I don't care about them at this point, but I wouldn't like this to stop me from reinstalling all other packages)?
Any other ideas?
Last edited by senjin (2012-09-15 19:34:26)

It's not a solution since arch installation usb stick doesn't work for me, as I mentioned above. I must either make this installation work, or move to ubuntu (gah!)
edit:
I managed to boot. After the error message at the beginning I'm left with "you can type exit to continue booting, but it will most likely fail"... it doesn't fail, and system appears to be working normally (well, except some error about consolekit when X is starting, probably unrelated).
Now the question is how to avoid this error message at the beginning...
