Upgrade to udev 177-3 caused sound issue

My upgrade to udev 177-3 resulted in sound issue. Now during kernel load as soon as udev loads it blacks out the screen for a few sec and then a I hear click noise in right speaker and and after udev is loaded I continuously get a hissing noise in one of the speaker(right). I have tried removing snd_hda_intel module and reinstalling module but it does not change anything. Interesting thing is the speaker that has the noise works when I play something. volume in the other speaker is very low and almost I can't hear anything on that. This is happening from early morning today after I upgraded to udev 177-3. Anybody experienced similarr issue or know how to solve this?
Although the upgrade went through without any error, I see following errors in errors.log

uograded to udev 178 and kernel 3.2.1-2 but I still hear noise in one speaker and no sound on the other speaker of headphone. Noise starts at the time of udev load during kernel load. Looked through many postings of forum but could not make any progress. Uninstalled pulseaudio, unloaded snd_hda_intel and reloaded but it did not make any difference... any ideas or direction?
here are the details:

  • Upgrade to IOS 5 gives podcast sound issues

    I upgraded to IOS 5 on my IPad, but the sound of the podcasts and MP3's is now dramatically changed.  There is an echo in them that was not there before.  It is not in the original MP3's and podcasts if I play them on the computer I download them to and then sync the IPad.  Anyone seen this?

    I'm having the same issue.  I think the "echo" you are hearing is a result of the podcast playing at 1/2 speed.  That is how it sounds on my iPOD touch.  But on my ipod touch I am able to adjust the playback speed (1/2, normal and 2x speed).  I have been trying to find the playback speed adjustment on the Ipad and haven't been able to.  It seems to have disappeared with the IOS 5 update.  It was there on the previous version.
    I have no clue as how to fix it. 

  • IOS 7.1 on iPhone 4 causing sound issues - no text alert, lock sounds, lack of vibration (sometimes) - anyone else got this issue?

    Basically pretty much ever since I updated to iOS 7.1, I'm no longer getting my text alert sound for SMS or iMessage, the lock sound no longer plays and there is sometimes a lack of vibration, I can assure the sound is up on high, it is not on silent or do not disturb - though i have it on this sometimes. Has anyone else got this issue? As it is very irritating and needs to be fixed.

    If you update ur iphone 4 and lost all those features, the only way you can fix it is with itunes, plug in to ur computer and restore the IOS , before do that make sure to back up all ur info on icloud and ur computer.
    Good luck

  • ICS Update Caused Sound Issues

    I just received the ICS update last night (at 3 a.m. - thanks for the heads up on that VZW...), and now when I make & receive calls the user on the other end can only hear me if I use my speaker phone.  Is anyone else having this issue?  Ideas on how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    Wow, you guys are not going to believe this! I found someone who had the answer, at least it worked on my T-Bolt. This gal (I assume because user name is Joy11) called Verizon customer support and they told her to go to (ready for it?) Settings-Call, scroll down to Other Call Settings and unclick the Hearing Aids check box. I just did that, sure enough it was checked, unchecked it, and made a call. Phone worked. Person could hear me just fine.
    I have absolutly NO idea how that box got checked. It had to have come that way with the ICS update. When I woke up Friday morning and saw that the phone was updated, I did not goof with it but went on with my morning routine. It wasnt until I tried to call a client that I found he couldnt hear me. I cannot believe how much aggrivation and time I have put into this ******* problem and how close I came to doing a Factory Reset or <Comment deleted per the ToS.> phone.
    I promised on another forum that I wouldnt rant about Verizon, HTC and sneak attack updates until I got my phone fixed. If you will excuse me, it's time to go and fullfill my promise. I have plenty to say.

  • Apple TV after upgrade only video no sound issue.

    So I had no issues with ATV until yesterday(10/25/2013) when I updated ATV with the latest update .Since then , whenever I play a video on my iphone 5S and airplay it , the video plays well on the TV  but there is no audio at all  . I tried changing the Dolby setting s and the Audio Output settings , but it doesn't seem to work .
    Never had this issue earlier .
    Only restarting Apple TV and my Router seems to solve this issue for now .
    Is there any fix for this issue.

    Hi @31danny 
    I understand that one of your notebooks is not playing sound using HDMI, using all the same hardware. Also that you have performed some of the standard checks. I am happy to assist with this.
    As to why the one is working and the other is not, is impossible to say yet. Like any complex device, there are small variations between the components, and in some cases that can result in differences between how one performs versus the other. So no two pieces of hardware will be exactly the same.
    Anyway, I would recommend you check through this page and since you have already done many of the things within, I would look to the options further down, and start with the hard reset:
    Troubleshooting HDMI Display and Sound Issues
    Let me know if those steps help at all, and if not, any other information you can provide.

    However I have come across a few issues that seems to be, not so common as I cannot find any solutions online (Which is why I'm here).
    I am having 2 issues:
    1st Issue:
    SD Card Issue, this is a funny one as I have not been able to identify what actually causes this issue. Now this all started (or when I started to realise the issue) when I changed some settings in the Camera App. I saw that it was saving photos to "Internal Storage" and since I specifically bought a new SD card for the Xperia Z2, I wanted to store photos on the SD card instead.
    So I changed it to SD Card Storage and all is well (At least, that is what I thought).
    After taking some photos one day, I got home and wanted to preview them, in the photos app and Album (Sony's Photo Previewer) it shows that the photo is corrupted or missing (Depending on which app I'm using). This really annoyed me as the photos I took seems to be all lost and corrupted. So I tried to use a file explorer (Including File Commander) to find the actual file and open it, but it seems to have the same problem. I get this grey background with a picture of a mountain with like a thunderbolt sign (Broken sign).
    Following this, I have also tried to copy some video files onto the SD card and it has been giving me troubles too. I tried to copy videos onto the SD card in 2 ways, first way is to take the SD card out, connect it to a SD card reader and plug that into the computer. After it finished copying onto the SD card, the files would just disappear (I use computers a lot and this was very surprising and new to me... It's like the SD card deleted the files right after it was copied, or maybe even 'hid' the files).
    So since that method didn't work I thought I would try putting the SD card back into the phone and connect the phone to the computer then use Sony's MediaGO (Computer App) to transfer the videos and it sort of worked this time. I copied 14 videos over and only the first 2 videos are working, the others are all "Media is missing" or of some sort. I checked the video's format and they are all either .avi or .mp4 which I don't think is a problem as the first 2 videos are in .avi so surely other .avi videos would work too? Guess not...
    So it seems like I am having troubles with Video and Photos on the SD card as music is working 100% fine. Used Media GO to copy the music on and it's all working wonderfully.
    Some of you might suggest formatting the SD Card, I will say I have... I have tried the above methods before formatting AND after formatting (Formatting using Xperia Z2, or shall I say "erase").
    The SD card I have is Sandisk's 64GB Ultra (I bought this to anticipate 4K or at least 1080p video recordings).
    If the issue here is SD Card compatibility and I was silly enough to not have seen that prior, then I would gladly admit it's my fault and be happy that the solution would simply mean to buy another SD card.
    But that said, I highly doubt that would be the issue due to the fact that the SD card is made for performance (Not the best performance as the Extreme and Extreme Pro range are a lot better) and the card is new.
    2nd Issue:
    Now this issue is not as bad as the first issue, it's something to do with the sound. I understand the phone has 3 sound controls, one for the Ringtone for when you get a notification or/and phone call, one for Media and one for Alarm. 
    What I do is I have the Ringtone volume sitting at around 50% and Media will be dependent as I change it when I open an app but the issue I've been having is this:
    If I open an app (Mainly games that has sound/music) and I change the Media volume to say 70% or even 20%, whenever I get a notification whilst in-app the notification volume seems to be at 100% no matter what I do with the media volume. This is weird as my default Ringtone/Notification volume is sitting very low at around 50% or even if I change it to 20%.
    What am I missing here? Any thoughts?
    With the above 2 issues, last resort would be to factory reset my phone but will be willing to do it if there's a high chance of the issue getting fixed.
    Your thoughts will be greatly received as right now I'm just lost and not sure what to do with the issues. I'm slowly getting the feeling that I should just give up on the phone and use it for phone calls, music and forget about the whole photo/video taking which is very sad as I love the phone's photo/video taking features.
    Solved!

    Hello Rickard,
    Thank you for the link, I have started the test and 10 minutes into the test the speed for writing dropped. Anyways I only managed to get through in writing 8GB of data then I gave up. I then started to verify that 8GB of data that was written on the SD Card.
    I have to say, it does seem like that SD Card is defective
    Thank you for providing the link, what I will do now is get another SD Card and see if the problem is still there.
    If the problem goes away I would consider my 1st issue being solved
    However I am still not sure about my 2nd issue as this is not related to the SD card. Even without the SD card in the phone I seem to be experiencing this problem.
    It's frustrating sometimes as if I'm trying to keep the volume down and play a game I can't because any notifications that comes through will be at 100% volume.
    Perhaps there's a setting I'm missing?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Strange sound issue on iPad2

    my mom is having odd sound issues on her iPad 2 that i was able to somewhat fix. and it goes from fixed back to broken o.O
    i thought it was interesting and worth mentioning, in case this happens to anyone else.
    her iPad 2 is up to date on the latest iOS (5.0.1) and the issue occured while she was watching a video in YouTube. sound is totally off in all apps. in Settings>General under 'use side switch to' it is set to 'mute'. when going to Settings>General>Sounds the volume control for ringers will work and cause the ringtone to play, so it seems the speaker itself is fine. however it will only work there and for that short time. afterward sound will continue to remain off. the volume control on the side of the unit will bring up the on screen speaker icon, except it doesnt show the bar that usually goes up and down with the volume. and sometimes at the top of the grey box it will say 'sound effects'. ive also tried switching the mute on and off which changes nothing.
    the one thing ive found that changes anything is the multi tasking bar volume control (double clicking the home button and then sliding all the way to the left, where it shows a screen orientation lock, brightness slider and a volume control bar). now the volume control bar is unfilled and doesnt show the dot that you can slide up and down to change the volume. however when i plug the iPad 2 into a computer (any computer seems to cause this) the volume control bar will suddenly fill and the dot will appear. now suddenly sound works in all apps and will change with the side control again as normal.
    now heres where it gets even weirder!!!
    sometimes when unplugging the iPad 2, after a short while volume will slowly fade out and be unresponsive again. the side buttons stop working and the volume control in the multi tasking bar will be unfilled and unresponsive. repeatedly plugging it in, going back to the multi tasking bar volume control and unplugging will eventually bring volume back. a couple times ive gotten volume to stay on and the volume bar to stay responsive by unplugging it while im in the multi tasking bar. but sometimes this is not the case.
    for the record, ive tried 'turning it off and on again' and resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings (both with starting up from a back up on iCloud and PC, and starting up as a new iPad). ive used two different laptops, one with Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. the iPad is synced with one laptop but aside from using iTunes to back it up and for charging, ive not made any changes to the iPad using these devices. during the entire duration of my attempts to fix it, the iPad has been on no lower than 80% power. ive also called Apple and discussed this with an Apple Care representative. who suggested all the same things id already done, and walked me through all the fixes to make sure i didnt skip anything.
    hopefully and most probable is that its just an issue with iOS 5.0.1. i also have an iPad 2 thats up to date with 5.0.1 and ive not had this issue, YET.
    i just thought it would be beneficial to the community to share this issue and get word out that this is happening. i would like to hear everyones thoughts on this issue and if this has happened to anyone else. the Apple Representative that i spoke to had not heard of or had to deal with this issue so it sounds like its rather new or rare. though she did mention that this is not normal behavior for the device and might be a software issue.
    id like to conclude with my love for Apple, and how user friendly iDevices are in general. ive had iPods from the very first generation and all of them still work (though the older ones cant be updated past a certain iOS). the few issues ive ever had were easily fixed with a visit to the Apple Store or searching on the Apple Support Communities. so as with before, i will remain positive and look forward to a bug fix in the next update.
    -thanks in advanced for reading, and any comments

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Sound issues in iOS6

    I'm having random sound issues since upgrading iPhone to iOS6. For instance, after using iMessage I will sleep the phone without exiting iMessage. 5 mins later I will have messages sent to me but there were no sound notifications indicating such. Only if I exit iMessage prior to sleeping the phone will I hear notifications of new texts or iMessages.   Also, random sounds like the swoosh when sending an email will mute randomly. I have to shut the phone off and restart before it works again.    Why is this happening?

    If you have a iMessage open and into a message, normally it will not sound.  I think it is because you already have it open and in it.  That is what I have noticed.

  • What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

    I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
    I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
    Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
    I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
    I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
    When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows
    Tunnel adapter local aera connection* 6: Media State: Media disconnected
    description: teredo tunneling pseudo-interface
    dhcp enabled: no
    autoconfiguration enabled: yes
    I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??
    Also shows:
    node type: hybrid
    dhcp enabled: yes
    autoconfiguration enabled: yes
    default gateway: 192.168.1.1
    dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
    netbios over tcpip: enabled
    If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

    Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM

  • 10.5.3 update causes iCal issue on ONE account

    So far, 10.5.3 update has been relatively painless for me. However, on one of the accounts on one of my Macs, iCal is causing a problem. iCal will not open, and indicates that the account does not have the permission to move the calendar cache in Calendars. Instruction is given to check the permissions on the folder Calendars. I have done so, and those permissions look ok, and they look the same as the permissions for the folder Calendars in all other accounts on all other machines (which are able to use iCal on their local data quite fine). The permissions are: owner: R/W, staff: Read only, everyone: Read only. The exact error message is: '"Calendar Cache" could not be moved because you do not have appropriate access privileges for "Calendars". To view or change access privileges, select the item in Finder and choose File > Get Info"'. Help please. My wife (her Calendar) is ready to kill me.

    Well, I do not know about your specific problem, but I have learned from these forums about OS updates that I should always:
    1.) Note from Software Update that there is a new OS version update, but do NOT download or install from Software Update.
    2.) Download the COMBO version of the update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    3.) Using Disk Utility, run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk (and Repair Disk if needed) before the OS upgrade.
    4.) Run the OS version upgrade from the downloaded Combo version.
    5.) Restart the computer
    6.) Using Disk Utility again, run Repair Permissions and Verify Disk (and Repair Disk if needed) before the OS upgrade.
    Since you have a Permissions issue on the iCal file. the above routine might solve your problem.
    BTW, I have solved problems using that routine even after running an OS version update from Software Update. Running the Combo update on top of the Software Update (incremental) version seems to fix some things that the incremental might have missed; but the key is running Repair Permissions and Disk Repair (if needed) before and after running the Combo update.
    Hope this helps. (jk)

  • Macbook sound issue after standby

    Hello,
    Bit random issue here..
    This is not consistence but it is totally random. Randomly when i open the macbook lid when it comes out off standby by i hear a weird "ripping" sound issue i think its coming from left hand speaker or side. Im assuming its the speaker.
    Its hard to explain its starts with a weird fuzzyness and then it turns into a rip type sound and stops.
    It last about 2 seconds and is random and only happens after putting up lid.
    Is this normal? any ideas?
    thanks

    Upgrade kernel to 3.1.5 still not fix the sound issue
    On 12/14, I upgraded    imagemagick, pcre, texinfo, virtualbox-modules, wxgtk with `pacman -Syu`,
    after reboot, the sound comes back, everything works fine just like before
    But on 12/16, I lost the sound again, only found these line in kernel.org
    Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Too long irq loop, status = 0xff
    Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Disabling MPU_TX
    no matter how I tried to reproduce the upgrade on 12/14, still unable to fix the
    issue, and those warning didn't show up again, I also boot into live USB to check
    if this is hardware problem, but sound works normal in live USB
    it's so weird...

  • Sound issue... no audio output from adobe premiere pro cs6

    I can't get sound out of PremierPro CS 6. I can get audio to play through whatever device I choose from After Effects CS6 but not Premier. I uninstalled SoundFlower (a low-latency sonud bus system extension for OS X from cycling74.com) because someone suggested (some who was just guessing) that was causing the issue.
    There's a few weird clues:
    As shown above the Master volume control in the Audio Midi Setup.app Built-in Output Tab is locked in the minimum -ve dB position.
    As shown above there are seperate tabs for After Effects 11.0 since updated to After Effects 11.0.2 and Premier Pro 6.0., Selecting any of the devices doesn't seem to route audio to speakers nor headphones. I'm not sure if SoundFlower or Adobe or some other process created these tabs. 
    As shown above the Audio level slider for internal speakers in the Sound Preferences panel is greyed out in the max position and not adjustable.!
    Have no idea what is going on, very frustrating! I have restarted OS X since uninstalling SoundFlower if that had anyhting to do with it (I doubt it did I've been using soundflower for years with no issues in loads of AV software).
    I have sound 'appearing' in Premier and if I export a Render the audio comes with it and plays in QuickTime Player just not in PPro itself:

    So it turned out to be a free/$1 application called SoundBunny. I obtained it from Other World Computing when I bought an SSD. Bunny me.
    It allows you to mix the volume outputs of every app/process running on your Mac. Quite handy but I rarely use and at some time in the past must have faded FCP X and PremierPro to zero (probably trying to determine where some unidentified momentary but periodic sound was coming from. It turned out to be the notification bell in Gmail/Google Hangouts and I was binary switching apps volume on/off to trace it). Moral of story: turn down to 1 or 2 not zero you never know when you'll forget to turn back up.

  • Two Fx 4 windows open at the same time causes usability issues

    When I load two instances of Firefox, I get multiple issues with the second instance usability, display, and hot keys.
    The issues are as follows:
    # Menubar/Toolbar appear differently
    # Back/Forward buttons do not work
    # F-Keys no longer Function
    # Favicons show old, cached icons
    Please see screen grab of my two monitors with two instances of Fx 4 open, but the I played with my toolbar settings to get it to look somewhat ok.
    http://www.travellingwebguy.com/images/Fx-4.png
    This is what happens when I open a second window, and do not mess with the toolbars:
    http://www.travellingwebguy.com/images/Fx-4-2nd-window.png
    This issue was not happening with Fx 3.x.x.
    I am using a custom Persona, but I have changed the Persona a few times and I still get the same result.
    I've removed all incompatible extensions and upgraded all the ones that needed upgrading.
    Not sure what the issue is here, but would love to troubleshoot it down if possible. Please let me know if any other info is required!
    Cheers
    Tim

    Exact same issue here. Also, the add-on manger will not launch.
    I thought it might be an add-on causing these issues, but only one out of my ten or so addons work in FF4, and I disabled it with no success.
    This is a huge issue for me. I attempted to uninstall FF4 and go back to FF3 but I can't find an install file for FF3.

  • XFi-2- Latest firmware (1.20.08) has caused some issues on 32GB model...

    HXFi-2- Latest firmware (.20.08) has caused some issues on 32GB model... When I started my PC last night, it notified me that new firmware was avaliable so it downloaded it and installed it on my Xfi-2 32GB
    According to the release notes, it was to add support for the 64 GB model as well as some general improvements.
    I can't determine what the latest improvements were (anyone have any clues ) and the UI seems the same.....the only things that have changed are that my applications no longer work (when I go into the applications shortcut, it says there is no valid content: I haven't touched these folders etc and they are still populated with the three standard apps as far as I can tell)
    The other thing (which may not be related to the firmware upgrade) is that my photos shortcut now pulls up some of my music folders that contain album art. Is this a feature or a bug (I don't want it to happen, I just want it to show photos within the 'photos' folder on the device).... I think it may have been caused by me simply dragging and dropping music folders onto the device using windows explorer rather than going through Centrale (slow!)
    Cheers

    Hi Timmo.
    What release notes are you reading? I have seen no reference to improvements other than adding support for the new 64 GB model on this firmware version. From the description of the problems you have, it seems that your player has some sort of file system corruption on the internal flash. I would suggest reinstalling the firmware on your device after formatting it (formatting the device only should be enough, I think).
    The size of the new firmware release, double than the size on the previous one, means that it probably has new features and applications that will be enabled on the future; however I doubt it means it has new features right now and hope it does not means we have two firmwares (on for the 64 GB model and other for the previous ones) as the SRM/AlphaBIOS pair on the Digital Alpha systems (an ugly hack on these superb computers, in my humble opinion) -- by the way, the new firmware does not require more space on the internal flash (I have 5077 MB available on mine with all firmware releases).
    The behavior you describe about album art being shown on the photos shortcut happens with older firmware releases too; I prefer album art embedded on the audio files instead of being available as another file. I agree with you, only pictures under the photos directory should be shown as images.
    Cheers.

  • Sound Issues with Mac OS X 10.4.10 ?

    I had successfully updated to 10.4.10. However, now whenever I use iTunes and start a song, I get a "Pop" noise from my Creature II speaker system. After I stop the song and a few seconds later, I get a "Pop" noise from my speakers. So, it sounds like the MacMini is initializing the speaker before and after playing sound through the sound card. I don't know. Has anyone has issues with this "Pop" noise? Is there a setting I can look at to get rid of this "initializing" sound? This is driving me nuts! I do not remember this "Pop" sound during my normal usage under 10.4.9. Thanks, Tony.

    My wife's mini had a similar issue. She upgraded to 10.4.10 and her sound stopped working. She would also get the login screen freezes. Where her computer is located, turning off Airport is not an option, and the sound issue is very frustrating. I helped her restore her entire computer from a 10.4.9 backup she had made just a couple days before, and while the lockup problems are gone, the headphone jack still will not output sound. Just two pops when you plug the speakers in, and that's it. I've tried resetting the PMU with no luck. I hope Apple fixes whatever it is they screwed up, and soon. I won't be applying 10.4.10 to any of my other machines.
