| kcoffman | Can someone help me with a sound issue? | 03:35 |
|---|---|---|
| yeehi | Quantal used to run v slowly in a Virtual Machine. Has this been fixed now? (It didn't have independent 2D) | 04:20 |
| holstein | kcoffman: whats up? | 04:48 |
| holstein | yeehi: "run v"? | 04:49 |
| kcoffman | holstein I didn't see your reply | 04:52 |
| kcoffman | holstein this is my problem I have a problem with the sound and volume control on my laptop. If the sound is below about 80% it's silent, when it's at 100% it's super loud and there is a very small window for a happy medium | 04:53 |
| holstein | kcoffman: have you tried with other operating systems? | 04:53 |
| kcoffman | no | 04:54 |
| kcoffman | holstein it worked with natty | 04:54 |
| holstein | kcoffman: natty is another operating system | 04:54 |
| kcoffman | holstein I know, I was thinking windows. sorry | 04:55 |
| holstein | kcoffman: i would just try and rule out a hardware issue... before you troubleshoot unecessarily software issues | 04:55 |
| holstein | kcoffman: could be a driver support issue.. there are typically a few things that can make or break audio support.. the kernel version and alsa version | 04:55 |
| holstein | kcoffman: i usually troubleshoot these with live CD's | 04:56 |
| kcoffman | holstein: How would you suggest I do that? I have already entered something in terminal that pulled up a volume equalizer and it didn't work | 04:56 |
| holstein | kcoffman: what i would suggest is to try alsamixer in the terminal.. dont trust the labels | 04:56 |
| holstein | then try pavucontrol, again not trusting labels | 04:56 |
| kcoffman | holstein ah a live CD, since I have switched to Ubuntu my CD/DVD burner works about 1 in 20 times I try to burn so i've given up on burning with this laptop | 04:57 |
| holstein | kcoffman: i'll just give you suggestions... use what you want | 04:57 |
| kcoffman | holstein I tired alsamixer in terminal | 04:57 |
| holstein | kcoffman: you can open a terminal and run a few commands.. lspci, aplay -l, arecord -l | 04:58 |
| holstein | in these outputs, you'll see the device... i would search "ubuntu model#" and see if anyone else has reported an issue | 04:59 |
| holstein | kcoffman: when trying alsamixer, you need to really tweak *everything* and trust no labels | 04:59 |
| kcoffman | holstein I ran the lspci...what am I looking for with this? | 04:59 |
| holstein | kcoffman: you are looking for the line that states what audio hardware you have... so you can search for help about it | 04:59 |
| holstein | kcoffman: have you appliced all upgrades? | 05:00 |
| holstein | applied* | 05:00 |
| kcoffman | Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a | 05:00 |
| kcoffman | holstein to my knowledge all upgrades are applied. | 05:00 |
| holstein | kcoffman: assume nothing.. open a terminal and run | 05:01 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update | 05:01 |
| holstein | then... sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:01 |
| holstein | you can get a kernel or alsa upgrade that could fix (or break) your issue | 05:01 |
| holstein | !audio | kcoffman | 05:01 |
| ubot2` | kcoffman: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 05:01 |
| holstein | kcoffman: i might just try another version... if you are runing 12.10, try 12.04... or viceversa | 05:02 |
| holstein | try and just get something supporting that hardware more "out of the box" til you are comfortable tracking these issues down | 05:02 |
| kcoffman | holstein I am running the update now | 05:03 |
| holstein | kcoffman: sometimes theres gain settings in the wrong place in alsamixer... or pavucontrol | 05:03 |
| holstein | kcoffman: i still dont know what hardware you have either | 05:03 |
| holstein | kcoffman: you can share the output of lscpi.. or aplay -l | 05:04 |
| holstein | !paste | kcoffman | 05:04 |
| ubot2` | kcoffman: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 05:04 |
| kcoffman | holstein I have the NVIDIA MCP51..that's what it said for sound | 05:04 |
| holstein | it? | 05:04 |
| holstein | 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) | 05:05 |
| holstein | ^^ thats what im looking for | 05:05 |
| kcoffman | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530020/ | 05:08 |
| holstein | kcoffman: what operating system are you using? | 05:09 |
| holstein | kcoffman: you should have all kinds of output there.. front, center | 05:10 |
| kcoffman | 12.04 | 05:10 |
| holstein | kcoffman: i would open either or both alsamixer or pavucontrol and dont trust the labels | 05:11 |
| kcoffman | what do you mean i should have all kinds of output there? | 05:11 |
| holstein | kcoffman: if its says "mic", you test that as a possible output | 05:11 |
| holstein | kcoffman: those labels are a guess sometimes | 05:11 |
