Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide

**LordRaiden** · July 9th, 2006

tlaloczint - I would not know why it would be garbled out? Did you follow my guide? If you did, I would suggest filing a bug in alsa-project since they would better understand and are better able to to deal with that sort of problem.

pinballkid - check in your home directory whether or not you have a .asoundrc file (it's hidden). Assuming that aplay -l works your card is installed. But I am sure that other hda-intel users would at least get the Master volume and not just PCM. Did you get any warnings or errors at all?

Just a few notes while I'm going through this:
aplay -l works and returns this:

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

.asoundrc exists and contains the following:

Code:

Names of available sound cards:
Intel
stephen@stephen:~/pystarburst$ cat /home/stephen/.asoundrc
pcm.hda-intel {
   type hw
   card 0
}

ctl.hda-intel {
   type hw
   card 0
}

however, "asoundconf list" shows that there is an "Intel" card, but asoundconf is-active returns nothing.

Unfortunately I havn't noticed any warnings along the way in your tutorial, but I'm considering starting again to see if I catch any the second time round. Once again thanks for all the effort reading through other people's problems!

Prob on that, alsa-project.org is loading up on my end, if anyone can help me I have a ESS 1869 Audiodrive.

Thank you again your Lordship for this help. I am using XMMS for playbac of files and I cannot find anywhere on their screen whether it supports surround5.1. Do you know if XMMS supports it and where I can make sure that it is optimized for surround?

But I also now have a newbie question for your. I went back to alsamixer and unmuted the button labelled 'duplicate' and lo and behold 5 out of six speakers are now working. Obviously the left rear and right rear are now duplicated what is coming out of the left and right speaker. (Newbie question warning) Is this duplicate the same as SurroundSound? I feel dumb asking this because is should not be. Then the next question is should I mute this and try to solve it in some other way.

At least I know that all speakers (except the center one) CAN work with the built in sound card.

Thanks again.

pinballkid - delete the .asoundrc file, then reboot and try again.

Slurm - I wouldn't know if duplicate means Surround Sound, but like you say it should not. Try using the suggestion here http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/sus...und-sound.html

post back if it works and i'll add it to my guide.

Hi everyone.. just wanted to let you all know how I got my SPDIF sound working w/ my VIA8237 chipset in Kubuntu Dapper:

First, I brought the 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SP5A' fader in KMix (or alsamixser) all the way down to 0. I read in another thread that if it wasn't like this, it wouldn't work.

Next, I performed 'speaker-test -c6 -Dplug:surround51' .. when I looked at my Sony receiver it displayed the 'OPT' indicator.

Then, I control-c'd speaker-test and attempted to play 50 Cent's 'In Da Club' (not that that has anything to do with getting sound working.. just thought you would like to know

) in Kaffeine.

It was very low (had to turn the receiver up to MAX to hear it), but that was fixed when I adjusted the 'VIA DXS' fader in KMix.

This was all done using a fresh install of Kubuntu. I'm using an Asus KV8 mobo w/ AMD64. I haven't actually rebooted since doing these things, so this might just be a temporary fix. Hope this helps.

Edit:
I rebooted and everything seems to be as it was. THe sound is working from Kaffeine, systems sounds, even from firefox's flash plugin (thanks Russian Girls, on Google VIdeo!)

**pinballkid** · July 11th, 2006

I've removed .asoundrc as you suggested and I am seeing one difference: when I start gnome-sound-properties now HDA-Intel appears under 'default sound card'. Unfortunately alsa-mixer still only shows PCM and there is still no sound, but I feel like I'm getting somewhere

**ivuntu** · July 11th, 2006

Hi!

I followed your guide, it's very easy to follow for a newbie like me. In Breezy the sound worked perfectly, but when I upgraded to Dapper I got several problems, and the sound is one of them. I get stuck afte I installed the sound module and have to go to point 4 again sudo modprobe snd- gives nothing with TAB, if I fill in the used driver like this (sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0) it gives no output at all.

It does seem to load the sound driver into memory ( cat /proc/asound/modules gives the following output:
0 snd_intel8x0
1 snd_mpu401)

But it cannot find my soundcard. aplay -l gives:
aplay: device_list:221: no soundcards found...

I don't know what to make of this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

here are a few outputs that might give a clue:

I think the soundcard is recognized, but I am not sure!
I post here the output of dmesg also, it might help.
As you can see, there is more on my system that is not working (especially my usb Lexmark printer). But that is probably off-topic here (except if it is related, somehow)

Code:

pinballkid - keep at it. I think you are close.
ivuntu - paste results of the command

Code:

lsmod | grep snd

here.

I will add a section to my guide about how to reinstall and the kernel modules using apt-get from scratch soon.

I also would like some feedback about the MIDI guide. Is it working for anyone of you? Any things you think I should add?
