[Wine] Sound card selecting issues

Since a month or too, after one of my weekly updates, wine started to select the wrong sound card for its audio playback. Thus, alas, no sound in wine applications.
When selecting the audio tab in winecfg, I get the following console output:
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA NVidia, disabling mixer
fixme:jack:JACK_drvLoad error loading the jack library libjack.so.0, please install this library to use jack
I don't use jack, so that can be ignored. The HDA NVidia - the S/PDIF on my NVidia video card I presume, I don't use either. What I do use is my onboard sound chip in combination with alsa, which works perfectly on non-wine applications.
So, I got the following set up:
$ cat /proc/asound/modules
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_hda_intel
$ aplay -l

Note that I already blacklisted snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi, which was in the above output before blacklisting.
Also note the weirdness of having two identical modules for card 0 and card 1. I guess the chip on the video card is Intel as well. I this possible?
Now the list of things I tried, all without a positive result.
First, I completely reconfigured my alsa set up.
Secondly, I blacklisted snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi in /etc/rc.conf
Thirdly, I used the info from http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys to force wine to use card0:
AutoScanCards=N
AutoScanDevices=N
DeviceCTL1=hw:0
DevicePCM1=hw:0
Fourthly, I edited .asoundrc to force alsa to use only card0:
# define soundcard to use, hw0:0
pcm.!default {
type hw
card SB
# device 0
# define control device to use, hw0:0
ctl.!default {
type hw
card SB
# device 0
Finally, I tried the above globally in /etc/asound.conf
I even waited two wine updates to see if that would fix it.
All above did not solve the sound issue and winecfg still gives the same error output as before.
Note that the sound works fine in everything, except in wine.
Anyone has any ideas or insight?

Seems the card is not well specified in your /etc/asound.conf

I think you should put the device also, as shown on your "aplay -l". Try and let me know (I will try asap).
Edit: Forget what I just said and just follow strictly the wine wiki page. In my case it was a problem when installing lib32-openal from the repos. It gave an error and did not install the first time, but I thought it was removed from the repos and wasn't needed anymore.

Usb Sound Card Playback Issues - Alsa [SOLVED]

Hey folks:)
Just want to say Archlinux is lovely and you guys are doing great work (if be it a little frustrating at times i might add)
My problem is that i can't configure my USB UA-25 sound card properly.
If i want to record with ardour, or hydrogen using JACK, everything is fine.
BUT.
If i want to play back a simple music file, or run 'youtube' for example, sound refuses to come out of my computer.
In system>preferences>sound the driver is set to ALSA.
How can i get sound to play back normaly through my externel sound card? I think Archlinux is trying to use my onboard laptop sound card.
Thanks!
Last edited by coffeemonster (2007-04-09 18:33:11)

fixed the probelm;
Had to reinstall alsa dirvers, removed all instances of 'usbaudio' from the modules. Reboot. modprobe snd-usb-audio. unmuted all mixers.
Selected alsa as the driver. Test. Yay! :"")

Sound card driver issu

I have above card & 5. dell surround sound speakers. Were working perfectly until i had a operating system crash about 2 months or so ago. Had to restore OS losing all my data & programmes. When restored noticed sound was bad, so installed the very latest drivers from creative. However my front left & front right speaker have no sound. They give that faint hiss sound when put to my ear so they should work. I have tried uninstalling that driver and trying others to no effect. I have reseated sound card, tried different drivers & nothing works at all(& yes i've checked the obvious). Heres a few things i've noted.. I can no longer use the creative volume panel on my taskbar. A strange white box appears with nothing in it. I have to use control panel in start menu-so i've lost the equaliser.2. The driver date when i access hardware manager is showing as August but it was recent i d/loaded that driver.3. After installing driver it defaults to 2. speaker setup.4. Earlier I enabled a sigma tel High def audio CODEC & the speakers worked(Fleft/Fright), but the other 3 do not work. I had disabled this about 3 week ago because i was trying to get a game to work. That was'nt the problem with the game & i forgot to reinstate it. I'm no expert but is that the onboard sound card? I don't need that enabled right?I really am clueless now. i have ran diagnostics on sound card & it says it works fine & the speakers definitely work ok, so i'm guessing it's a corrupt driver but am no expert. Have tried fdriver cleaner to, & i followed instructions to letter but this may have worsened it.

Forgot to add what card i use. It's a Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme music card. Other specs if needed - 4.3 ghz pentium, 7600gt, 2gig system ram.

2nd sound card possible issue

Has anyone been successful in using the onboard sound chip of a K8N Neo4 Platinum with a other PCI sound card?
I used to have a Abit with Nforce2, i was using the onboard sound chip for my speakers and a PCI sound blaster audigy for my headphone and mic. That would allow me to watch video or listen to music on the speakers (onboard sound) and talk to buddies over Skype or Teamspeak over my headphone. But now with this new MSI board i am having every day total freeze of the computer, sometimes it would do a 1 second squeaking noise and would frooze totally. So i decided to remove my ATI tv pro tuner and see if that was the cause, but no it would still happen. Then i went and bought a cheap c-media base sound card to replace the sound blaster. But that was worse, has soon has i would use onboard sound i would get a blue screen of death with a cmedia.sys error.
So now i'm back to the sound blaster but tired of those regular freeze, and i disable it to find out if that pci card could be the cause. But then i thought maybe there is a way to what i wanted to do with only one sound card? Is there? can i listen to tv/video/music throught the speakers connected to the line out and talk to my friends and hear them only throught my headphone? I sure can plug the mic in the onboard jack mic in, but how can i get sound from voice to only my headphones?
If that is not possible i then need to know if i can use a second sound card on that K8N Neo4 Board.
Thanks!

You need to blacklist the card you do not want. How to do that is described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … Sound_Card

Sound Card Selection

I have installed the full version of Captivate and attempted
to make my first recording. There are no options that I can find to
select my sound recording device, and it seems to ignore the
settings in Control Panel. I have an Edirol USB Audio Capture
UA-25. If I go ahead and just record, it acts like it is working,
then when I stop recording, Captivate crashes with several Error
216 windows. I recall reading something about USB devices and
Captivate some time ago, but can't remember exactly. Any
ideas?

Hi Ken
Indeed, I believe many folks have discovered that Captivate
frequently has issues when using USB mikes.

Lenovo N100 with Intel Sound Card (Speakers Issue)

Hello.
I was trying to deal with it but no luck on finding any info. The issue is that then I plug external speakers the laptop ones don't mute.

Any one had a similar issue with more or less similar hardware?
Peace.

Hi,
I have very similar problem, my speakers are working, but if I want plug headphones into jack plug-in is nothing happen, speakers are still playing and I couldnt hear anything in headphones.

P.S Sorry for my english, i cant write very well.
EDIT
It was simple problem. I had to recompile kernel without ALSA and install the newest alsa-drivers 1.0.14rc1. Now is working. I hope that this will add to Arch, because this what I've done is unusual and temporary.

Wine sound issues after update (Arch64)

I've had Spotify running under Wine for a while, but after a recent wine update it said that there was a "problem with your sound card" and running the audio test via winecfg failed.
I deleted ~/.wine and ran winecfg again and the audio test was successful... But when I ran it (or any other wine program) subsequently it failed.
I re-read the wiki and tried running "WINEARCH=win32 winecfg" instead and adding "export WINEARCH=win32" to ~/.bashrc, but that hasn't helped either.
A few days ago I set up a new PC and had the same problem, so I was expecting to see other people reporting it, but I can't find any mention of the issue, so I'm really stumped!
Can anyone suggest how I can find out the cause of the problem?

karol wrote:What do you use for sound - alsa, oss ...?
I use alsa... I think! Although I don't remember specifically having to set up sound when I installed Arch. The XFCE mixer panel applet shows "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)" in the sound card pull-down menu.
Since the Spotify instructions suggest selecting OSS in the winecfg, I did so - and didn't really expect it to work, but it was working fine like that for months. Now the audio test (in winecfg) fails whether I select alsa, oss or jack.
karol wrote:The most recent change wrt sound involves not autoloading snd-pcm-oss anymore.
Yes; the problems I'm having occurred after a wine update roughly two or three weeks ago. The more recent changes to /etc/rc.conf and module loading don't seem to have made any difference to the issue.
It just seems really strange that the audio test works the first time I run winecfg with no ~/.wine profile... And it's also odd that it just stopped working suddenly without me doing anything (as far as I know!) and that no one else seems to be having the problem, yet both of my Arch PCs are affected...
I've just discovered that if I delete ~./wine and never touch the audio tab in winecfg, Spotify works on both PCs. If I click the audio tab, wine says that "There is no audio driver currently specified in the registry. A recommended driver has been selected for you...". If I apply the changes the audio fails every time whichever driver I choose.
Ideally I'd like to find out what's causing the problem so I can fix it and have winecfg working as it should be, but at least I have a workaround so I can listen to Spotify again...

"A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
. Remove the sound Card
2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
7. Restart PC
8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
.Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!
My Specs: P4 3.2Ghz Prescott on Intel D875PBZ MB, pqi GB PC3200 Dual Channel RAM, Win XP SP2, Plextor CD-R and DVD Dri'ves, BFG 6600GT OC 28MB and the Audigy 2 Sound CardMessage Edited by Flying_Ghost on 05-04-2005 09:38 PM

Thanks for pointing that out, it was not apparent on the day i used them and wrote the How-To. The links have been replaced with the SID# (Solution ID #) and the title given for the Article.

External sound card sample rate issue

After installing Yosemite I am having problem with Sample Rate settings on my external audio interface. It was working perfectly before the upgrade.
The issue is that the sample rate on my system is set to 44.1 Khz. When a new application attempts to access the audio card it plays but breaks up. This is indicative of a sample rate issue so I tried to set the rate to 48 Khz and then back to 44.1 Khz. Once I do this the system works properly until another application tried to use the card and I have to repeat the same process over again. While it DOES work it is not correct functionality and there is obviously something wrong.
At first I thought is was just my system until my friend also commented on it happening to him too.
I am using an RME Fireface UFX with the latest drivers issued on October 8th of this year.
My friend is using an M-Audio unit and he is finding the same issue.
I have already checked everything in Audio / Midi Set-up control and reinstalled the drivers for my audio interface. I also looked for any new settings to Yosemite to see if there was something new that might affect this. No luck and no leads on where to look for the next option.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
The sound card do not support all sample rates. Which sample rates your sound card support you will find in the the manual.goto help in the toolbar select find examples and search for sound Open the Sound Input to File.vi file.This will give you a template for recording sound.You have to set the sample rate then open a sound file for write.
Please post a sample VI that you have created.

Logic Pro X and Eleven Rack Sound Card Problem. Intermittent? MacBook Pro Yosemite. Anyone having this issue too?

Ok,
Avid Eleven Rack Audio Interface with latest firmware into usb MacBook Pro running 10.10.3 (latest Yosemite)
Logic X and the sound card do not see the Eleven Rack all the time. *Intermittently*, but more often than not, I can't select the eleven rack as my interface either in Logic X Preferences>Audio>Devices or System Preferences>sound pref as the eleven rack does not show up in either list to be able to even select it.
Real pain when you are writing and have a flow of ideas and need to get a recording down. Anyone else having this issue? I have tried both usb ports in the macbook pro and the same results.
Of course I unplug and replug the usb cable. Still nothing. I have to quit Logic Pro X and restart to even get a chance for the eleven to even show up in either list.
Once I can select it then I also have a problem with being able to record (it records and gets input not prob) but on playback their is no output (with correct output selected) so I then have to use a Logic X template where the output is set exactly the same as what I am trying currently but for some reason it works with the template on the same exact settings. Mighty pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to try my Eleven on another computer to see what happens too but thought I would ask here.
Thanks
ejh

First make sure you are using the latest drivers...
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Eleven-Rack-Drivers
However the latest ones are not yet confirmed as working to OS X 10.10.3 so you may need to wait for an update from Avid....
Test and see....
Note: It's always a good idea not to update OS X or Logic Pro until after you have checked if there are working drivers for your external hardware first.. especially, in my personal opinion... in the case of Avid hardware drivers which are know to lag behind in development..

The old sound card issu

oki this is going to be one big hell of a soup.
HEre is the problem:
I CANT GET MY SOUND TO WORK.

as soom as i tryed a new thing i re installd the sound drives and rebooted and then tryed ru pöay something in mediaplayer, and have allways got a error mess in my face.
and here is the status:

If I'm not wrong, you are having either the 915P based or 925x based mobo running with Azalia embedded 7.1 Audio sound chip.
I recommend you to try the sticky at the top of the forum and see if it solves your problem.

Sound Card not compatible with WIN 7

I have a Dell 8200 Dimension Desktop (vintage 2002)?that I?ve just upgraded from XP Pro to Win 7. My Turtle Beach sound card no longer works since it is not compatible with Win 7. When I tried to install a non-Dell sound card, I found that the two sockets were not compatible with the Dell cables. I was told that I must have a Dell card since the plugs were proprietory Dell. I was given a Dell part number (38FRH) which supposedly was the card that would work as a replacement, i.e., be compatible with Windows 7. Dell no longer stocks this card since they stop supporting their computers after they are 5 years old.
Can?anyone help me solve my problem?

Which Dell cables? To the speakers? If so, time to change the speakers then.
Also try online such as eBay. Google for "Dell 38FRH". Ignore the Windows 7 drivers links. First few I found were fakes/scams. Scroll down. On the first page there were a couple of sites that carried it.
I would rather change the sound card [get something "modern"] and speakers than continue to use proprietary stuff.
Using Win 7 on an 8 year old system? Yeeesh.

Snd_hda_intel, VT1708 Sound Card issue at Boot Up,

Hello there,
Since a week or two (after an update) my sound card isn't at the right order; therefore I cannot play any sound. Let me explain furthermore, I have an USB Webcam with microphone, and a ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo equipped with a VIA VT1708 S sound card.
I followed the "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" guide and everything was working sweet until that update, no the USB Webcam is always (if plugged in while booting) the default sound card.
Here is my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)

So at the moment, I do start up with the Webcam unplugged, but I would like to fix this issue as the webcam is needed very often.
Many thanks for your time and help.

Sound card issues?

Hi,
I am putting the system shown below together at the moment. I have had it up and running a couple of times now and experienced almost identical crashes.
the first couple of crashes the system just came to a halt and upon reboot I got the "config/system is missing" error. The most recent one has resulted in a Blue screen stop error with "unmountable boot device". However the manner of the errors and the time they occured is identical.
I have narrowed it down, I believe to the soundcard/sound drivers. The most recent time I installed XP Home SP1, some basic drivers (graphics and motherboard but NO sound). I then played Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (just because it was a free one with the graphics card) with no problem. This was soundcard physically connected but no drivers installed. I then installed the drivers from the creative cd - possibly a mistake! and played again and sure enough the system crashed at exactly the same point it previously had.
In between crashes I have moved the soundcard itself from PCI slot 2 to 3 in case there was some conflict. Obviously I have the onboard sound turned off in the BIOS but to perfectly honest some of the other BIOS setting baffle me and the manual isnt too descriptive so they have generally been left as is. I think I have disabled the RAID but enabled the SATA1/2 and 3/4 pairings (is this correct?!). The two drives are connected on SATA1 and 2 - the nVidia controlled ones as far as I can see.
Is there any known conflict between the Audigy cards and this motherboard? In the meantime I am downloading latest drivers for the sound card on my working desktop ready for another re-install!!
Any advice as to how/why the crash occured or any fixes would be much appreciated! Also any advice regarding BIOS settings as I realise the problem may lie with something I have accidentally changed!!
Many thanks,
Nath

Hi, thanks for the quick response!
I have re-installed XP Home SP1 on the main drive, installed DirectX9.0c and the 71.89 nVidia WHQL certified drivers. Everything appears to be going well so far! The motherboard drivers appear to have gone on ok, usb ports working, network things identified and shown in bottom right as disconnected.
I downloaded the drivers you suggested from the creative website (I think they were dated 12 May) and tried to install them and realised they were an update so I installed the original CD ones (you were right - December 03!!!) then applied the update. The sound is working in windows fine, the sample music plays through all speakers using a digital line through the decoder - perfect!
Before I install the suspect applications and run them again I thought it working checking the device manager, even though no problems appear to be showing up and sure enough I have discovered that the graphics card and sound card appear to be sharing the same interrupt (IRQ 18). Is this correct?!
I will wait to install games/applications I think may break the system until I hear something back as I suspect this may fix it! That said I can see no way of disabling automatic allocation - the automatic setting box is greyed out. If you need them I can give you a list of the other interrupts so we can select and IRQ for the sound card that will not conflict.
Anything else worth checking before I do much else?
Thanks again,
Nath

No Sound Issue with PHASE88 sound card

K8T Neo series motherboard, socket 754 - NO SOUND ISSUE
I'm using a AMD athlon64 processor
I am having problems with my PHASE88 sound card. Windows XP regonises it and says the "driver is enabled but has not been started." I can't fix this problem in the device manager anywhere and so I was thinking it may be a conflict with the onboard Audio. I can't find in the BIOS where to disable the on board audio - can someone help?

Hi
Page 3-20 of manual
Integrated peripherals - onboardPCI controller - AC97 sound -disable it.
You may have to install device with New Hardware Wizard in Control panel.
cheers
