Sound gone after upgrade: Solved

Hi all!
I saw similar problems elsewhere in the forum and in the mailing list, but reading them and trying those ideas did not work. So I am hoping that someone has some more recent ideas, thus I will describe the problem again.
I updated my Arch box to the latest versions of everything, which included removing hotplug and switching on hwdetect. hwdetect loads a dozen or so ALSA sound modules which all seem to be reasonable to my eye:
$ lsmod

The only problem is -- nothing somes out of my speakers any more. Yes, I am in the audio group, yes, the speakers are plugged in correctly -- everything worked before the upgrade. Even now, when trying to play an MP3 audio file with mplayer, there is no error message and I see that mplayer thinks it plays the song.
I have tried playing around with alsaconf, alsactl and alsamixer, also tried to mute/unmute thing in kmix, but nothing works and the speakers stay silent.
Any idea are greatly welcome.

Sound (optical) gone after upgrade [SOLVED]

Hi All,
I have had great fun after the last upgrade. First problem nvidia driver would not load, solved by allocating more ram on the kernel line (in /boot/menu.1st
Second problem is I no longer have a visible optical sound interface (the one on the motherboard, intel chip ) The nvidia hdmi sound channel is there though ..
pavucontrol shows no optical device just nvidia hdmi ..
Anyone know how to debug this?

ok, looks like we need to check the basics first.
from console run alsamixer, select the card with the s/pdif output and verify is is not muted (it should show OO at the bottom for that channel).
Note the name of the S/pdif channel, run aplay --list-pcms to make sure you have the correct pcm name for it.
then try aplay --device=pcm_name /path/to/any/soundfile
(/usr/share/sounds has many) .
If that commands outputs sound, you'll know for sure the s/pdif output is working.
This is what aplay --list-pcms returns:

OSS sound gone after upgrade.

Does any of the following updates concern sound?
I'm asking because the sound has stopped working. I did an upgrade and rebooted. Then the sound started to drop out from time to time. There was sound for a while. Then the sound went away for a second or two and came back for a while. When I rebooted it took a few minutes before the sound started working. In the end the sound was gone entirely.
I was using OSS4. Switched Alsa, but no luck. Have not been able to get the sound back again. Have been running OSS4 for several months without any problems. The sound is sent from the computer to the receiver through an optical cable.

All bought titles and albums gone after upgrading I Tunes

Hi Guys,
unfortunately all my recently bought titles and albums from the I Tunes store are gone after upgrading to 10.7.0.21
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks you very much...
Best regards - Greg

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My iPhoto pictures are all gone after upgrade to Photos

Can anyone please help!!! All my pictures from iPhoto are all gone after upgraded to Photos tonight. Anyone know how I can recover them?

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library.
BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Message sound differs after upgrade to ios5

messsage sound differs after upgradded to ios5 please let me know how to do it
andd also reqquired how to downgrade to ios 4.3.3 i dont have shsh

Try "resetting" the device...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Sound gone after update - no such file or directory

I updated my mythtv machine tonight, sound is gone. I get an arts informational message that "device: default can't be opened for playback (no such file or directory)
Sound was working fine before the upgrade.
I got some alsa errors right after upgrade, just before the logon screen, but couldn't locate them in any log. I reran alsaconf and it seemed to set up fine. Running alsamixer gives me just one column, (playback) rather than the multiple mixer columns I had previously. alsactl store does not save the setting I put in here.
The upgrades included ivtv-utils; there was something about using jack as a control; I'm still trying to figure out exactly what jack is and how it might fit into all of this, but I downloaded and ran qjackctl, it failed with error messages.

I'm not an expert, but I do have experience with the cx88xx cards and sound. Mine is an NVidia force 2 board, but I believe it still uses the snd-intel module.
Do you get sound in any other applications besides myth?

Sound problem after upgrading to 10.6.3

I'm not 100% sure, if this is related to 10.6.3 but it occured after upgrading today (as far as I remember).
I often use the headphone with my MacBook - and sometimes I use the normal speakers... it happened earlier, that my computer "forgot" that it has built-in speakers, but plugging in the headphone jack and removing it helped.
But today, after updating to 10.6.3. my MacBook refused to play sounds of movies etc. permanently. Changing the volume displays a "not available" sign, System Prefs don't now anything about built-in speakers.
Restarting the Mac plays the normal boot sound on these very speakers, but even repairing permissions or resetting the parameter ram didn't solve the issue.
I even recognized a red LED light shining out of the headphone socket for a few minutes...
Anyone expereincing the same problem? Or any idea what else I could try?
Cheers
Dirk

Hurray!! Solved!
The QTip was the solution. I couldn't see any dirt inside, and compressed air didn't help either. Also the first round or QTipping wasn't working - but then, gently turning and even more gently pressing turned out to be it.
A little grey color on the white cotton showed, that something definately was not right here. And now it works.
Thanks guys.
P.S. Even though I'm lucky to have one of three german Apple Stores nearby, I'm happy to not needing a new logic board..

Battery life gone after "upgrading" to 4.3 (iPhone 3GS)

I've lost all battery life after upgrading last night to ios 4.3! I barely get 5-6 hours, whereas I always got a full day (probably two if i let it run down) before the upgrade. I can't believe this is a coincidence. How do I go back to 4.2? Or is there a cure for this?

OK, problem solved, with the help of Apple Support.
They suggested that I re-install the upgrade using Restore on iTunes. So I backed-up the iPhone, did a Restore to factory settings, and then restored all the apps, music etc from the back-up. The phone was fully charged 8 hours ago now, and has gone down to 80% with some occasional use .... this is typical for my 3GS. So: "Restore to Factory Settings" worked. Don't ask me why!

Sound distorted after upgrade to windows 10

sound playing is generalldistorted after upgrade to windows 10 pro. Individual sound elements in windows sound scheme seem to be OK.

Yup, you're not the only one with audio problems. I have a HP Split X2 also, my model is the m121-sa. The problem is that the company that makes the audio chips is IDT which has been sold to a new company called Tempo Semi Conductors (This has been done in early 2014). The new company will have to provide new Windows 10 drivers to support our audio chips, whilst they have made Windows 10 drivers for their newer chips; our old ones has no current drivers made officially for Windows 10. Microsoft are aware of this problem and will not be making any drivers - their solution is to use the Microsoft drivers by unistalling the driver through device manager and updating the driver to the Microsoft High Definition ones. The problem with the HP Split is that you loose beats audio and the audio is quiet, but it works on all apps. NEITHER HP OR MICROSOFT WILL PROVIDE A DRIVER That is above the IDT .6499. It is upto Tempo Semi Conductors to do this and they don't provide end user drivers but OEM's like HP. The problem only lies with metro apps, win32 apps such as Chrome has audio working... If you are having problems with the audio being quiet with the HP Windows 8 drivers (IDT), use the following settings. (though, I think my laptop is defective, but my warranty is gone so, I just turn up the treble - even though it sounds high pitched) On a side note, my other laptop (Toshiba) have been good by providing drivers for all components - Hopefully, Tempo do provide support for IDT as not only HP but other companies also use this chip. By the way, do you problems with start menu being black and blurrly text? For some reason, Windows 8 drivers don't do this but Intel Windows 10 drivers do this. Miracast also only works on the .37 driver and not the newest Windows 10 driver; will need to test this further. Yes there are new TEMPO drivers, but these again are for the new chips and not our old ones. It didn't work on my HP Split but you can try them below: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501-72000/sp71717.html - notes for new driver 6.10.6504.0 http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501.exe - setup 6.10.6504.0 (64 BIT ONLY; WILL NOT WORK ON 32BIT) 32bit driver is 6.10.6503.0 EDIT: HP seems to be deleting my images. Not sure why.

Sound problem after upgrading to Yosemite.

After upgrading to Yosemite, Sound driver suddenly stopped working as you see in the image.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do notappear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Digital AV Adapter: "Accessory not supported" and "TV Out" settings gone after upgrading iPad 2 to iOS 5.0.1

I've used the digital AV Adapter (bought in Apple Store) nicely on iPad 2 with iOS 4.3.x.
After upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 the TV Out settings have disappeared from the General Settings menu (no matter if adapter is plugged in or not).
I thought that maybe it was time to do a full reset (just in case), so I did that, while the adapter was still plugged in.
When the iPad finished resetting I got a popup message on the lock screen saying:
"This Accessory is Not Supported by iPad"
The adapter sort of works, i.e. there is a picture on my TV, but I cannot control the TV output settings which I could in iOS 4.3.x.
The TV Out settings are completely missing from the General Settings menu (if they were moved in iOS 5.0.1 somewhere else, I could not find them).
The "TV Out" menu item is not there at all.
I cannot select between PAL/NTSC output anymore which is crucial for me as it seems that the iPad current setting is PAL, while I need to be it NTSC, otherwise video drop frames/stutters when played back over a TV.
What I would like to know if there is anybody out there who has iOS 5.0.1 and actually can see the "TV Out" settings under the General Settings (I think it should follow the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" directly), because no matter what I did I cannot the settings menu to be displayed (I've reset the device, plugged and unplugged the adaptor and HDMI cable multiple times, tried different TVs, etc)
Or, if the settings are in fact, gone by design, then how am I supposed to play 23.976 or 24 FPS media on a 1080p50 TV without stuttering (don't answer that, I know it is impossible, I am just frustrated). This is the first ever device I bought from Apple and I must say I am not that impressed by such turn of events.
I mean, what kind of update removes essential features and makes the officially produced accessory suddenly "not supported"? Did they even test their own official accessory?? Seems not to me.
This thread is talking about sort of similar issue (although it is about the VGA adapter):

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

Complete library is gone after upgrade to 9.0.2

My complete library is gone after an upgrade to 9.0.2, however, the files are still on my external hardrive. Do I have to manually drop & drag each file to restore to iTunes? Is there an easier way to restore?
TIA,
Lynn

Let's try the following document first, Lynn. (No need to reinstall iTunes, though ... you can skip that step.)

Faces gone after upgrades to Mavericks and iPhoto database.

After upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, the iPhoto Database had to be upgraded by iPhoto to work with Mavericks. It went thru the process and afterwards many (but not all) of my Faces were gone. The photos are still there...and they're still tagged with the appropriate Faces name, but they will not show up in Faces. The only way I can get them to show up there is to delete the Faces names that are already on the photo and re-enter the Faces from scratch. But since there are at least 1500 photos that are affected, there's got to be a better way! I've done each of the following to no avail:
1) Repaired permissions.
2) Rebuilt Thumbnails.
3) Repaired the Database
4) Rebuilt the Database
5) Restored the Database from Time Machine to pre-Mavericks. The database had to be converted by iPhoto like before. And the results are the same - lots and lots of Faces missing - though everything else appears to be there. The only thing I can see is that it's the same set of years where the Faces are missing (it's something like all Faces from 1942-1970 are missing - but the ones before and after that are there).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Since you've tried all of the standard fixes there's only one left:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
If no change try rebuilding the thumbnails again.

Get Info panel metadata all gone after upgrade to Yosemite!

Shortly after upgrading to Yosemite I discovered that all the metadata I had typed into the Get Info panel for a multitude of image files has been wiped out! Need less to say I'm ****** off. What happened and is there any way to recover this info? On a related note I also discovered that the field where you type info now behaves like a tag entry field, where typing a comma creates separate snippets of text. Whose brilliant idea was that? Is there a preference that can be reset so the field will accept text normally? Thanks.

I have the same problem, and no I haven't moved it.. but it's back to the default WIKI after the upgrade..
It seems there's the data in there.. a good 7-8 gig's worth, so I'm not thinking that's the default/empty data.
There IS a
Config
Config.original
Actually.. I'm not sure about the exact wording cos I can't access the computer as Yosemite is hanging right now.. **** Yosemite, I'm never going there again...

Sound gone after upgrade: Solved
