Sound troubleshooting

[gleedadswell]

I seem to have fixed it. On this page

the poster found that they had multiple copies of snd-hda-codec.ko and of snd-hda-intel.ko and that manually loading some worked while others did not. The issue seemed to be that the ones from the ubuntu-audio-dev ppa didn't work and those were what was being loaded. On that theory I removed the ubuntu-audio-dev package. This seems to have fixed my sound (. That still leaves me confused since I *think* I installed those in the process of trying to fix this. But it's possible I had already installed them during some earlier round of sound problems and a recent update rendered them broken for my system. Anyway, the problem seems to have been the incorrect snd-hda-codec which caused modprobe to fail to load snd-hda-intel.

My microphone jack and my internal microphone don't work, but they haven't worked for a long time. I think I just need to fiddle with my pin assignments using hdajackretask until I find a setup that works.

Cheers!

I'm running a MQTT app that I would like to be able to play .mp3 files. I attempted to simply run mpg321 but that fails with

Playing MPEG stream from 192.168.2.55 ...MPEG 1.0 layer III, 56 kbit/s, 44100 Hz stereo
Error opening unknown libao pulse driver. (Is device in use?)

Running mpg321 from the console works fine. And no, the device isn't in use. There isn't anyone logged into the console normally but I did try it both ways.

Running 20.04

 cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [NVidia_1       ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xdeef4000 irq 22
 1 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                    HDA NVidia at 0xdef7c000 irq 18

Thanks,
Jim

I have an AMD X570 mobo, 5600X CPU, Kubuntu 21.04 development latest with all updates, kernel 5.10.0-14-generic, and Nvidia GTX 1650 graphics card. Generally working well, but no sound.

Card 0 is NVidia HDA HDMI (I've turned off NVIDIA HDMI in System Settings audio settings)
Card 1 is Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: Realtek ALCS1200A Analog

The ACLS1200A uses snd_hda_intel and snd_hda_codec_realtek, the correct sound modules seem to be loaded, and both sound device show up in System Settings

The sound works using my Windows 10 "Win2go" (live image) USB stick, and the NVIDIA HDA HDMI using an audio splitter, but not on hirsute 21.04 thru mobo audio output jacks.

I've set the volumes in alsamixer and I've tried "lots of things" to fix, no joy.

My alsa-info script output is at http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=b66fb6...96442b5499c4d8

Appreciate help - Gus
