Sound gone after installing a graphic card with HDMI

[JanvL]

Hi,

I have the following mainboard:
M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3
with integrated sound that was working
ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC

After I installed a graphic card my sound is gone, that card is
GeForce GT 220 with HDMI

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with KDE installed on top.

I have searched the forum and I can even see the bar moving when I say something in the microphone but I do not hear a beep.

Can someone please give me a guide on how to tackle the problem, I know how to give commands in the cli and am not afraid of changing files in /etc but I just cannot get a hold on sound.

Kind regards,
Jan

You may have to open terminal and start alsamixer and/ or in your sound settings enable S/PDIF audio.

[JanvL]

Thaks for the fast reaction!

I had the alsamixer started and saw 00 at S/PDIF and S/PDIF Default I changed it to full volume, no effekt

Card 0 is internal
Card 1 is HDMI (Nvidia)

at settings:
Digital output S/PDIF is on internal audio
Analog Headphone is on internal audio
Analog out is on internal audio
(mind you, translated from german)

the only stange thing I found in the mixer that
/proc/asound/oss/devices does not show a single line

Could that be the problem?

Kind regards,
Jan

This probably a bit related(maybe not) to your issue, but I had a problem in xbmc where the sound wouldn't work at all, went ahead and installed alsa, rebooted the box and bam!
in your case, either reinstall alsa or install pulse (log out/log back in and try, if not, reboot).
good luck

Hi,

I did install alsa new some time ago but I will do that again as soon as I have some time. Who knows . . .

Kind regards,
Jan

Well,

I installed ALSA new but no effect.

Does anyone know a step by step howto through which one can checkout the sound-seettings?

I have found all kind of good advice but with very different solutions and no one seem to tackle the problem I have.

Kind regards,
Jan

I know how to fix this ... I think I had a similar problem. Run kMix from the application launcher (you are using KDE, so it should be built in), and then click 'Settings' and then 'Select Master Channel' and then choose 'Built-In ...' to choose your motherboard audio. Hope this helps!

are you wanting the sound to go thru your HDMI port or are you only using your nvidia card for it's graphics?

I recently installed a 8400 GS and had the same issue. it has to do with setting the correct sound card as the default one. follow "Ad" here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/So...eshootingGuide

and make sure within pavucontrol everything is set correctly and alsamixer has volumes unmuted and turned up

[JanvL]

Hi,

That is exactly what I want.
"or are you only using your nvidia card for it's graphics"

Sorry RitzBitzn, that did not do it so I will have to try
Dannyboy79's solution.

Thank you for responding,
kind regards,
Jan

Hi

I see in the alsamixer S/PDIF and S/PDIF default both at 00,
but I do not know how to raise the levels, the pointerkeys do not work there.

What could be the cause?


Here is a listing of the shell-commands:

jan@Linux01:~$ aplay -l

So both are "seen".

just made a /etc/sound/asound.conf

pcm.!default {
type plug slave.pcm {
type hw card 0 device 1
}
}

rebooted, but after a sharp tic at boottime, no sound.
