[Jaunty] Updates broke sound

[Kevbert]

It seems last nights updates have broken sound on my PC. If I click on the speaker icon I get "The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plug-ins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured." If I then go to Sound settings top three settings are set to autodetect and capture is set to ALSA. If I clcik on Test I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument".
After that I can't close the Sound Preferences Window (have to do a reboot).
Audio is nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2).

file a bug on it and I'll confirm , I have the same situation here except that I can close the sound prefs window without reboot.

[Kevbert]

Thanks ronacc. The bug report is #296738 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/296738). Since the initial error occurred something has been changed (in this mornings' updates), but still no sound. It's looks like someone is working on sound drivers...

[ronacc]

confirmed and added comment . I wouldn't worry too much they borked sound early on in intrepid too .

[Kevbert]

Sound is now working again. Found sound settings in volume control set to minimum (after update ?) Set to mid-range and they're working again.

Maybe "hal" was guilty?

[ronacc]

just updated a few minutes ago ( 15:30 eastcoast US ) and my sound is still fubar .

[MaX]

My sound works for like 30 minutes at a time, then I have to starte pulseaudio again...

This is what happens:
W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
W: alsa-util.c: Device front:0 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz.

Yup, mine dies like that too.

From PAs mailing list:

If you are using 0.9.13 please make sure you are using:

1) All the patches included in the Fedora package (all backports from git master)

2) The latest alsa-plugins package (and alsa-lib and drivers too!)

If things are still wrong, please let us know :)

Luke must have seen this....:confused:

(GIT works perfect now)

I filed bugs during Intrepid but it was no interrest about it...

[theozzlives]

just upgraded my laptop with 64... no sound and Amarok will not load

[ronacc]

open your volume control and unmute your side , center and front they muter at every reboot that should get you sound , if not check the threads in this fourum about sound pulse is having problems right now , run amorok from a term to see why its not loading .

Try running the command "amarokapp" from the terminal... and you may find a bug like this:

amarokapp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkhtml.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN3KJS9ObjectImp4markEv

Which is reported here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/+bug/301109

Apparently rolling back kdelibs to Intrepid's version is the solution for now, but I am lost as to how to do that...

[ronacc]

if you updated from intrepid you may have the deb for the intrepid version still in /var/cache/apt/archives .

[jmdsdf]

I only have kdelibs_4%3a3.5.10.dfsg.1-1ubuntu4_all.deb in /var/cache/apt/archives/ (the Jaunty version), I installed Intrepid off of CD, so they're not cached. I figure I need kdelibs_3.5.10-0ubuntu6_all.deb. I downloaded it from here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/all/kdelibs/download

but... dpkg -i kdelibs_3.5.10-0ubuntu6_all.deb doesn't downgrade the dependencies... what really obvious thing am I missing? :)

SOLVED:

The needed dependency to fix the problem is kdelibs4c2a_3.5.10-0ubuntu6_i386.deb

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/kdelibs4c2a/download

Once installed, Amarok will work again. Now I understand the term "dependency hell".

After the wireless NIC probs I had with the Intrepid Alphas, I swore I'd wait til April.... hmmmmmmm

That's not good, my laptop is the only computer I shutdown.
