HARDY No Sound

[l0pt]

Hi ppl,

Since i made the updates on my new ubuntu i dont get sound. Everything seams to be installed, the driver and even in alsamixer everything is ok.

When i play some sound, it plays but no sound output.
And has nothing to be with bios cause in windows is working.
The device in use is:
0: HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)

Any ideas?

PS: I installed at same day Compiz / Emrald / Wine

Go to System>Administration>Software Sources>Open up all your repos, including: proposed, partner, updates and backports. Exclude src. Then do a:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[l0pt]

everything open.
when i made the updates of ubuntu, the sound stoped to play.

Open the volume control panel, right click the speaker icon on panel select Volume Control, select edit->preferences and look for surround. If you find surround, select it then close. Make sure surround is not muted and crank up the volume. That worked for me.

Note: This keeps the speakers on even with a headphone plugged in. Anyone know how to avoid this?

I dont have the surround option and headset is unselected, and dont work aswell, averything plays and still no sound.

Your sound card is the same as mine. Have you tried going to System->Preferences->Sounds and trying the tests with various mixers?

[l0pt]

yes tested.

i open an mp3 file for example, i see it playing till the end but i cant listen anything.

[l0pt]

fully reinstalled ubuntu, new fresh instalation.
and the same i see a movie player or a mp3 but no sound output. Strange.

any ideas?

BTW the computer is a laptop ASUS F3SV.
And i see i am not the only one with same prob?
Anyone with it working?

Propably it would work with PulseAudio, the main package is already installed, but it is needed to install libasound2-plugins and pavucontrol.

Then, you should find in the menu Applicatins the tool "PulseAudioColumeControl". Open that and and by the point "Output Devices" choose with a right click your Soundhardware as Default.

Next, go to System --> Preferences --> Audio and choose PulseAuddio - Soundserver.

Is Sourround-Sound (5.1 or higher) needed, you need to configure the PulseAudio deaemon.conf file.
You find this file by /etc/pulse.
Change the Line "default-sample-channels = 2" to default-sample-channels = 6 or like your Soundsystem.

PulseAudio works with many Applications, but not with all.
Curiosly, by my laptop Rythmbox (all Gstreamer Applications) does not work with PulseAudio - but it does that by my Deskop PC, where PulseAudio is the main soundsystem, too. :confused:

thnkx for the reply m8 :)

well i reinstaled ubuntu and nothing, no sound but then i made the updates and the sound is working and i see the alsa installed is the .16 and not the .15 as i can remember, anyway maybe it just got a new update today dunno, but i think it was solved by a new version.

Thankx all for the help.

Cheers,
