=== JoseAntonioR is now known as JoseeAntonioR [03:35] Can someone help me with a sound issue? [04:20] Quantal used to run v slowly in a Virtual Machine. Has this been fixed now? (It didn't have independent 2D) [04:48] kcoffman: whats up? [04:49] yeehi: "run v"? [04:52] holstein I didn't see your reply [04:53] 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] kcoffman: have you tried with other operating systems? [04:54] no [04:54] holstein it worked with natty [04:54] kcoffman: natty is another operating system [04:55] holstein I know, I was thinking windows. sorry [04:55] kcoffman: i would just try and rule out a hardware issue... before you troubleshoot unecessarily software issues [04:55] 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 [04:56] kcoffman: i usually troubleshoot these with live CD's [04:56] 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] kcoffman: what i would suggest is to try alsamixer in the terminal.. dont trust the labels [04:56] then try pavucontrol, again not trusting labels [04:57] 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] kcoffman: i'll just give you suggestions... use what you want [04:57] holstein I tired alsamixer in terminal [04:58] kcoffman: you can open a terminal and run a few commands.. lspci, aplay -l, arecord -l [04:59] in these outputs, you'll see the device... i would search "ubuntu model#" and see if anyone else has reported an issue [04:59] kcoffman: when trying alsamixer, you need to really tweak *everything* and trust no labels [04:59] holstein I ran the lspci...what am I looking for with this? [04:59] kcoffman: you are looking for the line that states what audio hardware you have... so you can search for help about it [05:00] kcoffman: have you appliced all upgrades? [05:00] applied* [05:00] Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a [05:00] holstein to my knowledge all upgrades are applied. [05:01] kcoffman: assume nothing.. open a terminal and run [05:01] sudo apt-get update [05:01] then... sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:01] you can get a kernel or alsa upgrade that could fix (or break) your issue [05:01] !audio | kcoffman [05:01] 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. [05:02] kcoffman: i might just try another version... if you are runing 12.10, try 12.04... or viceversa [05:02] try and just get something supporting that hardware more "out of the box" til you are comfortable tracking these issues down [05:03] holstein I am running the update now [05:03] kcoffman: sometimes theres gain settings in the wrong place in alsamixer... or pavucontrol [05:03] kcoffman: i still dont know what hardware you have either [05:04] kcoffman: you can share the output of lscpi.. or aplay -l [05:04] !paste | kcoffman [05:04] 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] holstein I have the NVIDIA MCP51..that's what it said for sound [05:04] it? [05:05] 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [05:05] ^^ thats what im looking for [05:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530020/ [05:09] kcoffman: what operating system are you using? [05:10] kcoffman: you should have all kinds of output there.. front, center [05:10] 12.04 [05:11] kcoffman: i would open either or both alsamixer or pavucontrol and dont trust the labels [05:11] what do you mean i should have all kinds of output there? [05:11] kcoffman: if its says "mic", you test that as a possible output [05:11] kcoffman: those labels are a guess sometimes === dniMretsaM is now known as dniMretsaM_away === albert is now known as Guest7248 === yofel_ is now known as yofel === Guest7248 is now known as Phryq === dniMretsaM_away is now known as dniMretsaM [17:43] anybody found a workaround to stabilize minitube on 12.04 yet?
