Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide

[stu01]

Thanks Lord Raiden,

I`ll post back what they say

Stu

[s0c0]

I've tried everything in here, but I believe my problem is a bit different:

I know my sound works cause anything I download using limewire works in its media player. I also get the default sound when prompted to login to ubuntu, but when I use stuff like amarok, miune, rythmbox, juk, or even the default ubuntu cd player i don't get sound.

For instance when I go into amarok and change to the xine engine (the only engine I have as an option) I get the following error:

xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers.

When I click on the Volume Control icon next to the system clock and click open volume control i get this:

No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.

HI'm using ubuntu 6. My sound card is Intel 82801BA-ICH2. Yes GStreamer is installed. I tried the manual on here. I'm just at a lost here.

Any ideas?

larka06 - after you do

sudo modprobe snd-via82xx

do

aplay -l

and paste the results here. If you see something like

then go onto the "alsamixer" section in my guide

This is what I get. I have also went to the alsa mixer and it is all set to work. I am now thinking that the sound part of the motherboard, MSI, is bad. I have had other problems with this motherboard.
Oh! On my first few tries to get this printout all the numbers would be #0. I have read all of your Comprehensive Sound Problem article but I am more in the situation I do not have alot of time nor, do I wish to learn alot about the sound end at this moment. This is because I am very busy with web work and just want it to work. I am now thinking of getting a sound card and just let this go unless, you can help me further.
Also with the sudo modprobe snd- I get a fatal module snd_ not found.
I truely appreciate your time and effort.
Thank You.

[LordRaiden]

larka06 - you need to go into alsamixer, and check if your sound channels are muted. It is basically the sound mixer for your soundcard which controls whether sound is muted/not-muted as well as the volume level. In alsamixer, you need to make sure that both your "Master" and "PCM" channels are not muted and they are both not at 0. Otherwise, you will not hear any sound.

I am also have trouble understanding why you simply do not type character for character

sudo modprobe snd-via82xx

. If you type

sudo modprobe snd-

you will most certainly get the error (as would anyone else) since "snd-" is not a valid name of sound module.

s0c0 - make sure that the xine is set to use the alsa engine. This goes for amarok and any other media player that you might be using.

[larka06]

LordRaiden-I went to the alsa mixer and set all my sound to the top of the green for volume. I also made sure that each one was on. All is set and ON.
I did type character for character. I even copy and pasted to see if I was doing something wrong. I got the same results whether I typed it or I pasted it. I just redid with cut and paste as well as retype it. I get nothing for a answer. It just goes to the prompt again. I apologize for my ignorance but I have not idea what s0c0 is or where to set it. I guess I am going to have to take time to learn more. Oh! I just went to the alsa mixer again and all is set to be ON. I will reboot and see what happens now. I am mostly interested in get realplayer to work cause I listen to online stuff alot. As of now I have to use my sisters windows machine. Ha! windows again.
Your effort to help me is so appreciated.
Thank you again.

No one has any solution for my problem?...at least an: "I don't know?". Should I just start a new thread?

[larka06]

Lord Raiden----Well today is a new day and I have decided to try to learn what you are saying in you solution guide. I have been just doing and then going on with my paying work. Here is something that brought interest to me and caused wonder. It says that it is only for root. Huh?
237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 7061
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 201
I/O ports at eb00 [size=256]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
I do not know what this means and I still have no Idea of what s0c0 is or, where to find and set it.
Thank you again; even if that seems so little for what you are doing for me it is all I got for the moment.

[LordRaiden]

larka06

s0c0 was another user who asked for help.

Your observation is interesting, you should post a bug report at alsa about it. (link in my signature).

[leif3d]

I installed Edgy and all my problems are gone...regarding the sound at least...because some problems with Maya 8.0 came up...oh well...

[arashf]

LordRaiden,
I've spent hours upon hours dealing with what should be a simple sound issue... here's my problem:

I'm on edgy and my sound was working perfectly until I started playing with some bios settings (namely pnp support and acpi/apic.) After a bit of fooling around, I managed to break my sound. I returned everything to their original settings and still have no sound. Everything looks okay, but I get no sound out of my speakers (and yea, I checked that it's not the speakers... :-p)

Here are the relevant outputs...

Here's the output of aplay -l
