[20:03] <Guest13864> I'm looking for help getting audio to play on my newly installed Ubuntu Studio
[20:04] <Guest13864> I see aufio in the VU's but don't hear anything
[20:07] <tucemiux> you want to hear sound in headphone/speaker? do you have a laptop or desktop?
[20:07] <Guest13864> it's a desktop
[20:07] <Guest13864> CA1060 (if I remember correctly) is the driver
[20:08] <Guest13864> for the chip set
[20:08] <Guest13864> thru speakers
[20:09] <Guest13864> I had two soundcard in a previous install but removed the pci slot one to simplify
[20:09] <Guest13864> have since reinstalled
[20:09] <tucemiux> is it detected?
[20:10] <Guest13864> yes
[20:10] <tucemiux> and it's card #0?  --> aplay -l
[20:11] <Guest13864> I see audio playing if I play a mp3 file
[20:11] <Guest13864> card 0 CA1006
[20:11] <tucemiux> Guest13864, and I assume you checked all the physical connections?
[20:12] <tucemiux> try killing all of your applications and then run this: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
[20:12] <Guest13864> yes I have
[20:13] <tucemiux> You checked the volume and made sure speaker is not muted using "gnome-volume-control"?
[20:13] <tucemiux> Can you hear any sound by running this in a terminal: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[20:14] <Guest13864> I don't hear anything
[20:15] <tucemiux> open up gnome-alsamixer in terminal and then raise the volume to the speaker, PCM, and Master and try playing your mp3
[20:15] <Guest13864> gnome-volume-control is the speaker icon n the top right?
[20:16] <Guest13864> gnome-alsamixer is not installed it reports
[20:16] <Guest13864> should I intall it?
[20:16] <tucemiux> sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer
[20:17] <tucemiux> gnome-volume-control is the speaker icon to the right
[20:19] <tucemiux> Lets find out what sound card you have, what's the output of this: "lspci | grep Audio"
[20:19] <Guest13864> ok it's installed
[20:19] <Guest13864> it seems I'm looking at inputs but I don't see outputs
[20:20] <tucemiux> raise the volume in "Master" "PCM"
[20:20] <Guest13864> it's all the way up
[20:21] <Guest13864> I've got the pusleaudio volume meter on screen
[20:21] <tucemiux> make sure they're not muted, also try  clicking on "External amplifier", doesnt hurt to try the other options in the click boxes
[20:21] <tucemiux> Im still curious, what sound card do you have?  "lspci | grep Audio"
[20:23] <Guest13864> it doesn't give me a response
[20:23] <Guest13864> but its a creative labs chip set on the mother board
[20:23] <Guest13864> using CA0106 driver
[20:24] <Guest13864> I believe they call the chipset CA0106 as well
[20:25] <tucemiux> if it doesnt give you a response then the issue could be hardware, is the sound card onboard??
[20:26] <Guest13864> yes
[20:27] <Guest13864> it's a MSI K8N Neo4 motherboard
[20:27] <tucemiux> try '"lspici -v"
[20:27] <tucemiux> do you get any output when you try "lspci -v"
[20:28] <tucemiux> sorry -- its supposed to be "lspci -v"
[20:28] <Guest13864> yes
[20:28] <Guest13864> Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster
[20:28] <Guest13864> 	Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 1009

[20:30] <tucemiux> it looks like everything is configured correctly, can you try using headphones?  Also try seeing a youtube video on firefox
[20:34] <Guest13864> sorry don't have flash installed yet
[20:35] <Guest13864> now it is
[20:35] <tucemiux> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:40] <Guest13864> well it looks like you were right earlier on
[20:41] <Guest13864> I plugged earbuds in and it's working
[20:41] <Guest13864> something has happened to my speakers
[20:41] <Guest13864> I'm sorry sorry for the inconvience and my stupidity
[20:42] <Guest13864> the speakers had been working when I brought them from home
[20:44] <Guest13864> must be a bad connector cause it just started working big time when I plugged them back in again
[20:44] <Guest13864> thanks again
[20:46] <tucemiux> Guest13864, not exactly - it could be your speakers.  Only way to find out is if you had a pair of speakers you know work, once youre able to figure out and youre still having issues then go to launchpad, the symptoms youre describing sound like a bug
