Sound suddenly broken

Scroll down for a new issue!! (not mine)
as for mine...
usr err, please replace usr
(a recompile of alsa and some fiddling with alsamixer fixed all... not sure what it is)

I have a similar problem with my Intel HDA audio card:
00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 30a5
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
Memory at d2400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access>
I have tried almost everything: with and without aliases in modprobe.conf, with and without:
options snd-hda-intel <model>
from this list of options.
Tried also:
options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1
But all this was useless.
At the end I have managed to make it work with an unbelievable solution: I blacklisted all the snd modules and removed alsa from the DEAMONS array in /etc/rc.conf.
Then I made a little "script" called /etc/start_snd:
modprobe snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-pcm
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
alsactl restore
chmoded +x it and added it to rc.local. I set up the alsaconfig and did an alsactl store. After reboot everything is working fine. (but I didn't test the mic).
I really don't understand why it does work... maybe some issue if the modprobe is at the beginning of the boot sequence with the udev....
Hope this can help.
PS : Sorry 4 my English

Pavilion dv6-3243 Entertainment laptop....sound all broken up, stutters

went to the CBS site to watch a program..I've done it very rarely in past without problem......sound all broken up, and the picture seems to be in slow motion also. Any suggestions, anyone running into this problem? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if you can now watch your CBS program Ok - if you can, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart IE.

My sound suddenly stopped working, how do i fix this?

my sound suddenly stopped working after i unplugged my headphones, how do i fix this?

Common problem.
Check the headphone port - if you can see a red light, the port is still live, cutting off the internal speakers.
The cause is a little leaf switch that is pushed over by the jack when you insert it. Sometimes these stick.
Try inserting and removing a jack a few (dozen) times.
If that doesn't free it you may attempt to tease it with a slim non-conducting tool (like a toothpick). Ensure the Mac is not only shut down, but unplugged if you try this.
And be careful; the leaf is fragile and it's an expensive bit to get to and replace, in fact on some models it's directly on the logic board.

Sound suddenly stops working (Youtube)

Hi!
Since I installed a Flash Player update 1-2 months ago, the sound in almost half of the videos I watch on Youtube suddenly stops working (usually only in videos that are longer than 10 minutes). First there's a short crackling sound (not all the time, though) and then the sound simply stops, even though the video is still playing. Reloading the page or jumping ahead a few minutes, then going back to the original spot usually only fixes it for less than 5 minutes and if I do that 2 or 3 times, the sound won't even be there for more than a few seconds. Restarting Firefox doesn't help, either. If I want to try again with the same video a few days later, the problem occurs again.
I'm using headphones (Sennheiser HD 201) that are plugged into speakers (Logitech X-140) but I'm 100% sure that those aren't the culprits since I can listen to mp3s, watch videos (avi, mp4, doesn't matter) or play games just fine and the problem has never ever occured while doing that. So it definately has something to do with the update 1-2 months ago and the latest update (maybe a week ago) didn't fix it. I also already saw a few comments on videos I'm experiencing the problem with about the sound suddenly stopping.
OS: Windows 7 (64 bit)
Browser: Firefox (36.0.4) - also tried loading the video in IE11 but all the buttons (quaility settings,...) were missing, so I closed it again.
Flash Player: 17.0.0.134
Any idea how I can fix the problem and if there's already a fix in the works?

Most of the videos on YouTube these days are HTML5. If you right-click on the problem video, are you getting About Flash Player, or About HTML5?
If it *is* Flash, do you have the same problem if you disable Hardware Acceleration? See the section on it in the troubleshooting guide below:

Sound suddenly "mutes" (?) when gam

Hi there,
I have some strange issues with my audigy--card (player?).
I noticed while playing Doom or Black and White 2 - sometimes the sound suddenly mutes... All windows-sounds are still functioning.
This happens quite often in a while... only thing is to restart the game or swith to "window mode" in doom..
This has never happened before until I bought a Logitech Cordless Desktop 3000 in April 2005. I re-installed my system in june - still some probs (and I am no noob...).
Also I noticed sometimes little crackling for example in Tiger Woods 2005 when typing on the keyboard - but only randomly...
I use a nforce2-based motherboard if this hel
ps.
. and of course windows xp..
Using msinfo32 - there is no conflict on a shared resource for the audigy...
Sincerly,
Rain

Did you check the audio preference pane? The Mac might assume you want to use the audio interface and switch audio to the interface, which wouldn't make any sound if it weren't directly connected to speakers or headphones.

Sound suddenly stopped

I was listening to my iPod 5th generation (30gb, video) a few days ago when the sound suddenly stopped. The controls continued to work, as did the display, but no sound came through the headphones. I tried other headphones, and still nothing. I followed the "5 R's", and it still didn't work. I ensured that I have the latest edition of iTunes and software for my iPod, prior to restoring. And THEN, upon restoring, I tried to sync my iPod again to get all of my music back onto it, and after syncing a portion of the music, a dialog box appears in iTunes that says that it can't continue, and that an unknown error occurred. So now I have an iPod that won't sync properly AND won't play any sound. I've only had it about 8-9 months, and I'm really hoping somebody has some knowledge of these problems.
Thanks for reading and trying to help!

This is the closest I could find to what i am experiencing. I have a suspicion that several of my songs may have gotten corrupted but I don't know how or why and much less...how to prevent further corruption!!!
Here it goes...
All my songs work fine and have worked fine for over a year now. I recently updated itunes and it seems that this is when the problem appeared. (Unless it is a coincidence?) I have now counted six songs out of about 300 that suddenly stop either in the middle of the song or towards the end of the song. The music stops the timer stops but I am able to use the control to go to the next song or even to previous time frame within the same song that suddenly stopped. However when I go to an earlier part of the "stopped" song it can no longer be heard. I use these songs everyday and they were fine before Friday.
What has happened to these particular songs and why? but more to the point how do I fix the problem and how do I prevent it in the future??? Has anyone had this similar trouble?
Thank you!

Loss of sound suddenly

my pavilion g6 laptop running Win 7 lost sound.
turned unit on and all of a sudden a BIOS update from nowhere started over my home network and since
then i have no sound at all
I have tried a driver reinstall and a restore - no joy - what now and where in heck did this BIOS update come from?Never
seen anything like that before. HELP please!!!!!!
David

Hi
You have a couple of options as I see it.
Please First check if the speaker icon on the unit is not muted.
Go to device manager and uninstall the driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
Click start in search box type Recovery Manager then click yes on user access control then select I need immediate help the select Drivers & application recovery select the driver and install it.
Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.
Try to update the driver from hp.com website.
Last step is to run a recovery on the unit before this please back up your data.
If still does not work speaker on the unit has gone bad needs to be replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the speaker replaced.
Let us know how it goes!

How come my mini ipad retina does not have sound suddenly ?

After I updated my mini ipad 2 to iOS.7, the sound in my ipad suddenly was not functioning!

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Suddenly broken: "To execute 'save as PDF' command you must have Acrobat Distiller 5.05 or higher"

I've been using FM9 with Acrobat Pro 9 just fine for months on end, and suddenly FM9 "forgot" about Acrobat Pro 9. I've reinstalled the entire suite TWICE.
Googling the error messages reveals that this is a very very old problem; I'm quite surprised to see it again in TCS. But all the suggestions I've read so far have not worked.
Any new ideas?
BTW, this is one reason why I am not planning to buy TCS for my entire team; at least not until these sorts of problems are fixed.
-Dee

Dee, a couple of thoughts:
2) The workarounds, using .ps and Distiller, or print-to-the PDF driver, result in a PDF with broken links. None of the FM9 hypertext links work, not even the TOC. This is what I'll have to ship to my customers, a PDF with broken links.
In the FM Print dialog box, did you activate the Generate Acrobat Data checkbox and uncheck the Print to File checkbox? You need to Generate Acrobat data to enable hyperlinks.
3) I had installed all the updates... old Forum posts suggested that the updates might be the problem! So I've tried it both with and without the updates...
It's possible. However, forum posters tend not to be mainstream users... so I'd suppose that the updates work for >95% of users, who don't have any reason to post because the updates work.
Also, as noted before, you didn't provide any system information... but if you're on XP, I'm assuming you installed the Microsoft HotFix for PostScript printers (including PDFs).

Flash sound suddenly distorted

The sound for my Flash player is suddenly mega-distorted (to
the point that I can't understand anything and my speakers sound
blown out). But the sound for all other functions (media player,
dvd player, etc.) is completely fine, so it's not the speakers.
It's not any particular website, either--I've tried Flash on
multiple websites and the sound is messed up across the board. The
playback might be slow as well, but it's hard to tell what's going
on without the sound...
Any ideas? Thanks!

UPDATE III:
OK, I figured this out. Hopefully this will help others. I
found a post on the Apple website talking about sample rate
settings in a utility called "Audio MIDI Setup" in OS X. This is
really just a more detailed sound preferences panel (so I don't
know why the h*ll they didn't just make an "advanced" mode for the
prefs panel, instead of making you seek out this special utility
that changes system settings). In it you can change the sample rate
and bit depth for sound input and output into the system. When I
opened this utility the first thing that I noticed was the system
was set up to output sound to the FW unit at 48k sample rate.
So I reasoned correctly that Flash can't output audio output
at 48k. It outputs at 44.1 k or less apparently. As soon as I set
the FW device's output sample rate to 44.1k, audio out of Flash
immediately sounded crystal clear again. The distortion was, I
suppose, system software trying to interpolate the 44.1k sound to
48k before output.
So the lesson is: pay attention to sample rate settings in
the "Audio MIDI Setup" utility. I just can't believe it took me
this long to find out that the utility exists and that the people
at PreSonus didn't know about it, or this potential issue. But
either way I'm glad I've got the Focusrite unit now and it works
swimmingly well.

Sound suddenly stopped working.

Hi, my sound on my HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC just suddenly stopped working the other day. Everything says that it is functioning, and my drivers are up to date, but I cannot seem to get the sound to work out of my speakers or out of headphones.
Product Number: A9P60UA#ABA
Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
If you could help, that would be wonderful! Thanks!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56900.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete,download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the link below.
Chipset Driver - Windows 7.
When this has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then hold down the Power and Beats buttons for 10 seconds. When done, reconnect the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

New mail sound suddenly stopped working

I assigned a 'new mail sound' (wav file) and for no apparent reason suddenly stopped working. Anyone else experienced this ?

This sometimes happens to me too, as well as my alerts with iChat. I have to restart the computer and that fixes it for me. Hope that is the case with you as well.

Sounds suddenly stop working

Certain sounds on my iPhone (text alerts, text sent sound, etc) will suddenly stop working. I will get notification of an incoming text with a sound all day long and then out of the blue there will be no sound to accompany the alerts anymore. When I send a text, I always hear a sound when it sends the text...but just like the alerts, the sound for that will suddenly quit too.
Yes, I've checked the loud/silent switch. I've checked the volume. The only thing that seems to fix this issue is powering off and back on.
I don't use headphones (I've seen this can sometimes cause the silent mode to get stuck) so that isn't the problem. I thought maybe it had something to do with the bluetooth connection in my car but the sound will quit sometimes when the bluetooth is off and I'm nowhere near my car.
I had this issue with my iPhone 4s and just put up with it until I got the new iPhone 6, figuring I wouldn't have the issue anymore with a new phone. My iPhone 6 is still doing this so I'm guessing there is some crazy, hidden setting somewhere I'm not aware of, or there is something wonky in the iOS.
This is incredibly frustrating as I have not known about an urgent message because the phone didn't make any alert sound to let me know I received a message.

Was wondering if you had found a solution for this? I went to the Genius Bar 3 seperate times to get this exact issue resolved. First they reset my phone as a new phone, then they replaced my speaker, and finally they replaced my phone. Still, with a brand new phone, it is happening. I have iphones for a long time and do not believe I am doing anything differently. Have you found something that worked for you? Thanks!
