What to do when suddenly no sound from usb headset

I haven't use my linux in the past 3 days and when today I logged in I noticed I don't hear anything. I checked some other apps, but no good.
It works when I unplug my usb headset - I mean the built-in speakers do.
In pavucontrol I saw the lines moving so there is sound, I just can't hear it. I tried changing the device for output and the application currently in use, but nothing.
The only suspicious thing is that I have a 3rd device called "LADSPA Plugin Multiband EQ on Internal Audio Analog Stereo". I guess it's related to the pulseaudio-equalizer I installed about a week ago, but after doing that I had sound, I watched some movies and I had no problem at all.
Having no better idea, I removed pulseaudio-equalizer, restarted my notebook, but I still have that device.
I wanted to check the volume levels in alsamixer, but I don't have that, because it usually scr*ws up the volume levels, I only have installed what's said in the pulse wiki, but it's unrelated now, I guess.
My linux is fully up do date and I don't see anything unusual in my rc.conf.
What should I do? Where to look for the solution?

This problem is bizarre.
Basically - I have an audio interface connected via USB, then one day i get the message 'usb device disabled drawing to much power....'
So i tried a few different cables, and 1 cable worked fine.
Now all of a sudden, the problem is back - the cable that was working fine is now not working fine.
I've tried 8 USB leads, reset the SMC, reset PRAM, etc etc......
All the 8 USB leads i have work fine with other stuff, but as soon as i plug this audio interface in, it doesnt see it. The interface is fine because i've tried it in another computer.
I've lost a lot of faith in apple products over the last year or 2. It seems like theres always some sort of bug/problem. This will be the end of the line for me now. I just can't trust the quality or reliability of their products anymore.

Something has changed on my iPod. When I sync it now it scrambles music between playlists. So, I will be listening to my jazz playlist when suddenly holiday music from another playlist is there. When I go to iTunes, however, the playlist is as it should be--jazz in the jazz playlist, holiday music in the holiday music playlist. I have two iPods--one is syncing properly while the older one is not. Any thoughts?

You are currently managing your music manually. You can either sync or manage the music manually, not both. If you want to sync, all the music currently on your phone will be erased and replaced with whatever you decide to sync to it.

I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

Audigy 2 ZS sound from USB headphones but none from speakers

<Audigy 2 ZS sound from USB headphones but none from speakersw Hello everyone. Lately my computer has been acting up a bit (HP xw6200 workstation) and I updated the graphics and sound drivers to fix the issues with crashing. I first tried to update the audio drivers from the Creative support website but when the installation was finished and the computer restarted there was no longer any sound and all of the volume controls stopped working (sliders, buttons, checkboxes, etc. turned gray). I tried a couple more times to uninstall, then reinstall the driver but it still didn't work. Finally I went to the HP support website and downloaded the audio driver from there and installed it. Now the volume controls work again and when I plug in my Logitech USB headset I can hear sound just fine but when they are unplugged and I try to use my desktop speakers there is no sound at all. I played around with the volume controls, made sure the device and output was correct, and plugged the green output cable to the speakers in all of the sockets I could find while playing a song on Windows Media but it still doesn't work. Anybody have an idea of what might be going on and how to fix it's

@? OK another update (sorry I know I'm posting a lot). I downloaded and installed a different driver from the Creative support site and I now finally have sound in my speakers again. BUT the original problem I was having came back. Whenever I play a game (lately it's been Warcraft III) that seems to have more advanced 3D sound (more than, say, a web video on YouTube) the screen will all of a sudden turn some really weird pattern, the sound will stop, and the entire computer freezes; I then have to manually shut down (with the power button), wait a few seconds, then reboot. I thought this was a graphics issue so I downloaded and installed the latest driver for my video card (nVidia Quadro FX) which didn't help. Now I think it might be a sound card issue (or maybe motherboard?) because this problem doesn't happen when I use my USB headphones to play games. Might my sound card be dying or "breaking" somehow?

My satellite L675D-S7015 all of a sudden, no sound from HDMI

I have a satellite L675D-S7015. It came with HDMI out, blu-ray player and all the bells and whistles. Up till a week ago the only thing I had to do to it was replace the screen after my friends kid broke it. But last week, I lost all sound to my receive. Now I have checked everything I can...made sure it was set to default....in the sound icon and by going through the realtek HD audio mgr. Made sure nothing was muted and all that good stuff. I then went into my device mgr...only to see that my ati HD HDMI driver had been replaced by some generic HDMI sound driver. I've uninstalled this several times and reinstalled the Realtek driver...only to have it replaced again. Is there a way to stop this? or what do i need to do to fix it? the generic HMDI driver will play sound, but I have no control over its settings it seems. And also...I thought that HDMI was more than just stereo? but the realtek HDMI settings, even when I have the box checked for it to allow true dolby d and dts, it doesnt give me any other optin in setup other than a stereo one? am I missing something?

I found this on the Microsoft websiite. (I am assuming you are running a Windows 7 machine)
Windows 7 auto update overwriting Realtek audio drivers on startup in Windows 7
And here is another thread in our forums stating the same issue.
Realtek Sound Drivers keep getting replaced by generic sound drives causing no sound
Here are a couple TOSHIBA KB articles for troubleshooting No Sound issues:

All of a sudden loud sound from the right

All of a sudden my macBook Pro is making a loud sound from the right which I think is the fan? It happens when I first turn it on so it is not too hot.
I'm concerned because my last ibook g4 had a dead hard drive in less than a year..this sound is somewhat similar to the clicking hard drive, but forgive my ignorance the hard drive is not on the right?
Is this a normal new sound? Does feel that way.
cursed with macs.

MissWit,
Its the fan, you got two one in each side.
I have same problem, but mine often appears when the MBP is warm or let me say been running for a while, at the same time I feel vibrations when I touch the casing or maybe housing is a better word, well the aluminium cover...
I am 99.9% sure the hard drive is located to the left.

Suddenly no sound from pavilion dv5. How to get it back?

I seem to have done something that told my HP pavilion dv5 that I didn't want any sound. What now?

Hi,
The easiest way to solve this may be to run Windows System Restore. If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you will need to disable Nortons Tamper Protection as shown in Step 2, on the link below.
http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20091112171719EN&ln=en_US
Once you've done this, shut down the notebook. Windows System Restore is usaully best run in Safe Mode. Tap away at f8 as you start the notebook to enter Windows Recovery Console. Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and hit enter. When this has loaded, from the Start Menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and launch System Restore. Pick a restore point at least 24 hours before the Audio issue and then proceed with the restore process. When complete, Windows will reboot as normal.

Hi PhiPsiVol354
corrupted CMOS occurs when there is strange problem happen to laptop
Not necessary that corrupted CMOS prevent laptop from booting , may laptop boot successfully but CMOS not recognize the component of your laptop like sound card or video card or any other part specification .
so you need to load default BIOS setting to CMOS , but it fails to load default BIOS because corrupted CMOS needs to be cleared first before loading default BIOS.
this work (clear CMOS) is done manually by connect jumbers together inside laptop motherbaord
OR
By using software like HIREN BOOT CD ( this is famous Repair cd ).
follow this steps:
1- Search internet to find and download (HIREN BOOT CD) cd image. or ask any friend may he has that cd
   ( prefered to choice v.9.7 or v.10)
2- If you download (HIREN BOOT CD) from internet ,Burn that cd image to cd with low writing speed.
3-Insert that cd into cd driver ,at laptop startup press F12 to boot from cd .
4-Menu appear , show:
   -boot from hard drive
   -boot from cd
   -load mini windows xp
select second option ( boot from cd)
5-another menu shows with numbers browse to find (BIOS/CMOS TOOLS)
enter that section you will find many tools select from them (KILLCMOS).
6-Run (KILLCMOS) tool , it will show confirmation message ( ARE YOU SURE WANT TO CLEAR CMOS),press arrow button to select (YES) , after clear cmos done , press ESC button to exit ,then press (ALT+CTRL+DEL) to reboot system , and immediately enter to BIOS setting by press F2 .
7-Load default setting by press (F9) and save change and exit (F10).
8- the system restart and enter to windows .
9- If process failed to solve the problem , Repeat it again.
Good luck
I hope this will solve your problem.

Suddenly no sound from speakers and only from headphones

Hello,
I have a HP 8440p VQ664ET#ABU Elitebook laptop running Windows7 64bit pro.
Since today I'm experiencing the following problem:
1) no sound is heard through speakers when headphones are disconnected.
2) If I connect the headphones, the sounds are heard correctly through them: this is the expected behavior
I don't think it's a speakers hardware problem because I can make the speakers play sounds for one or two seconds like this: while a sound is being played, such as music file for instance, if I move up and down the headset volume cursor (regardless if headphones are connected or not) I can hear the played sound through the laptop speakers for a few seconds, after which the speakers mute again.
So to summarize:
1) Headphones disconnected: no sound from speakers
2) Headphones connected: sound from headphones
I rebooted, suspended and restored without any luck so far.
I'm under the impression that there might be a problem with the headphone jack: it is like the laptop always thinks that the headphones are connected and therefore cuts the output to the speakers.
Any clues?
Thanks
Sergio

No Sound from USB Audio

I have a feeling this is a stupid mistake but I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it. I had a fresh install of arch and everything worked fine, and speaker-test played fine. I installed KDE and audio still worked, but it kept giving notifications on startup like, "USB audio device has been removed", when the USB headset was still plugged in. Every once in a while I'd be stuck without sound but it would fix itself after removing and reinserting the USB audio thing. Eventually it started up with no audio; Each time the audio device is removed KDE said, "Would you like this to be removed from the device list", and this time I clicked "No" and "don't show me again". I can't figure out how to revert to "show me again". At time of writing with my USB audio plugged in, in the KDE Phonon audio system settings manager, it lists five greyed out USB headphone devices, and one colored one. I have a feeling that's the problem...
If I start up VLC media player, for example, I can go into that program's audio device manager and select USB audio, and everything plays fine! When it plays to the default device though, no sound comes out of my headset, so I can't get audio out of most applications.
The module is loaded:
lsmod | grep snd_usb_audio
> snd_usb_audio 112633 3
I've tried the things recommended on the following thread and on the wiki, but neither have worked:
http://archlinux.me/w0ng/2012/07/06/als … b-headset/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … ound_cards
(neither the manual activation or the automatic script)
Oh, and looking at the problem on this page on the forum: I've changed the order of the devices and this hasn't helped.
Any ideas on what's wrong, or how to remove all the dead devices it lists?
Last edited by NeuroFuzzy (2013-06-23 16:26:32)

to remove the other devices you have to disable them. It could be done from that window but you don't have the tab. So try installing pavucontrol and disable the other cards.
And you have to select in asound conf to use your usb card on boot. Use the script from the wiki for that.

No Sound from USB Mic

I can't get sound from my mic. I have my guitar plugged in and have sound from it but not the mic. I tried setting up an aggregate device but it didn't work. When on my sound screen I have input volume from the mic but still no output. I only have one choice for my output and that is headphones. What am I doing wrong?

Hi moxie39, I have been fighting with my Snowball USB mic and read your post. I made an aggregate device that consists of the USB mic and output as you mentioned (I also tried USB mic and built-in-input), but I cannot change in the LE8 preferences to a different device. It doesn't give me an option to change it to an aggregate device only a built-in-mic and built-in-input, neither of which work. Any suggestions from you or from anyone?

Can't get sound from USB input device

I've got an Alesis iMultiMix 8 USB mixer plugged into my shiny new MacBook Pro (running Leopard). The Mac properly recognizes the USB Audio Codec as a sound input device, and in fact shows a signal being received from the mixer. However, I don't actually hear any sound from the mixer, even with it selected as my input device, and my recording program still records only from the built-in microphone. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Heh... it turns out that there was nothing wrong, at least technically. I got on the phone with Apple and asked if the native OS environment relays inputted audio through the speakers, and was told quite simply, "No." It looks like my PC schools Mac on that account.
As it happens, yes, the programs I was trying to use (Cubase, and I tried Garageband for gits and shiggles) DO have a monitor function to allow the ability, as well as ways to select your input. Cubase, the one I'd been experimenting with, simply has it coached in different (and extremely technical) terms and methods.
So, it looks like my difficulties arose from my lack of experience in a high-level audio program with a steep learning curve, coupled with what I perceive as a basic design shortcoming of Mac. (I think there should at least be an option in the OS environment somewhere.)
Ah well, live and learn. Thank you so much for your assistance.
