    Re: Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide

    The sudo modprobe tab thing doesn't work as nicely as like, if you have all the modules installed, you'll get a list of over a 150 modules. It's more useful for some than others. I might get rid off the part about it if it gets really confusing.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Yes, i have earlier followed you guide. My soundblaster live! value is detected correctly and there is sound.
    The only problem is that anything i play wave, mp3 or mpeg the will always be hiss or quirks breaking the sound. (so irritating)
    i feel that i'm close but not close enuff to resolve this.
    i've been tinkering away on the alsamixer but to no avail.

    I've followed you guide for Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel but still after that the sound is broken.

    i guess i'm hopeless when i comes to linux. currently everthing is working beautifully on my dapper. just this little tiny 'irritating' thing keeping me from enjoying my ubuntu.

    as on your comprehensive guide, there is everything except what to do if there is sound but its broken
    greatly appreciate any input on how to go about this.
    thanks!

    Re: Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide

    Go into alsamixer, what level is your PCM at? setting it lower might help a bit.

    rck_hitokiri - look at your pcm settings in alsamixer. Make it lower if you need it. Try muting the microphone if you don't use it.

    Hey.
    I wanted to first say thankyou for your post regarding stepping through sound problems. I did not follow it to the book but pretty much with your promptings, I got my sound to work. The problem is that it was working afew hours ago but now I have shut down my system, walked away for afew hours and now it does not work. HAs anyone else had this problem???

    Cheers
    Murray

    Did you run the following to make your settings sticky? With the first one you just add your sound module to the list if it wasn't being detected. In my case I added snd-sbawe to the list of modules to load.
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/modules
    Then after loading you sound module, assuming it just wasn't loading, you need to still do the following. (At least I did in my case, I'm guessing here because I didn't see in the thread what you are running being listed.) From what I understand alsa sound is muted by default. That is according to the Old Sound Card article on the Wiki.
    Code:
    alsamixer
    Then you need to make the alsa settings sticky so that sound is not muted by default.

    Code:
    Code:
    sudo alsactl store 0
    or if this is your nth sound card (where n is the number of soundcards in your computer) replace 0 with n-1. Many thanks to xpix for trying this out.-
    One note to LordRaiden I think it makes more sense to say “Do this step to ensure that your alsamixer settings reloaded with each boot.” At least to my American English.

    Question Re: Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide

    Many thanks for the excellent guide, LordRaiden. I have worked my way through all of it and still cannot find a solution to my problem. I have a HiFi-Link USB sound "card" that I use to connect my computer to my stereo system. I rip LPs using the internal on-board sound chip and want to play back through the HiFi-Link; this works perfectly under WinXP. However, under Dapper, I cannot get the HiFi-Link to work; I can select it with ALSA Mixer, but no output occurs. I have run the following commands:
    Code:
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
    0 snd_intel8x0
    1 snd_mpu401
    2 snd_usb_audio
    
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ asoundconf is-active
    
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ asoundconf list
    Names of available sound cards:
    SI7012
    UART
    HiFiLink
    
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ lsmod|grep sound
    soundcore              10208  1 snd
    
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ which audacity
    /usr/bin/audacity
    
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ ls -la /usr/bin/audacity
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2509248 2006-05-10 22:55 /usr/bin/audacity
    
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ sudo chgrp audio /usr/bin/audacity
    Password:
    
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ ls -la /usr/bin/audacity
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root audio 2509248 2006-05-10 22:55 /usr/bin/audacity
    
    walt@walt-ubuntu:~$ aplay -l

    The folks from Xitel (the HiFi-Link makers) said that it appears that the internal chip is not releasing the sound resources. Is there a way to disable the internal sound playback while retaining the ability to use the internal capture capability? Any help is most gratefully appreciated!

    Re: Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide

    LordRaiden, thanks for helping us who don't know what's wrong with our sound. I tried your guide but I still get no sound and I'm hoping someone can tell me something else to try. I have an Audigy sound card, here's some of the stats I've gotten back but I don't know if anything is out of place. My sound works in Windows and it worked in Breezy before I updated so it's not that the sound card doesn't work.

    ~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
    0 snd_emu10k1
    1 snd_usb_audio

    ~$ asoundconf list
    Names of available sound cards:

    Camera

    ~$ lsmod|grep sound

    also "lspci -v" gave me
