| volta | Hi folks. I'm having a wicked sound issue in ubuntustudio 13.04. i.e. no sound at all. My laptop is an alienware m14x. | 22:08 |
| volta | /proc/asound shows me two cards: HDA Intel PCH and HDA NVidia | 22:11 |
| volta | pavucontrol seema to be configured correctly | 22:11 |
| volta | (sorry -> seams) | 22:12 |
| holstein | volta: you dont really configure pavucontrol | 22:13 |
| holstein | you can use it to configure pulse | 22:13 |
| holstein | !audio | 22:13 |
| ubottu | 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. | 22:13 |
| holstein | volta: if you refer to that ^^ you'll see that if you open a terminal, and run "aplay -l" you should see what alsa is capable of using | 22:13 |
| holstein | if it were me, i would just load up a few live CD's til something works.. or just check the usual places.. alsamixer and/or pavucontrol.. and dont trust any labels for volume controls | 22:14 |
| volta | Did all the volume applet stuff. There is apparently a signal. But nothing to hear from the speakers | 22:15 |
| holstein | volta: look for, and apply all upgrades | 22:15 |
| holstein | volta: try other live CD's | 22:15 |
| holstein | volta: confirm that the hardware is functioning | 22:16 |
| volta | the issue exists only in ubuntustudio. My dualboot debian 7 works flawlessly. | 22:16 |
| holstein | volta: then, check alsa versions and kernel versions | 22:17 |
| volta | did all system update, upgrade and system-upgrade today | 22:17 |
| holstein | volta: there is nothing about ubuntustudio that is different, and going to cause you an issue like that | 22:17 |
| holstein | its config related | 22:17 |
| holstein | volta: what is the output of "aplay -l" ? | 22:17 |
| holstein | volta: have you read that linke? | 22:17 |
| holstein | link* | 22:18 |
| holstein | have you tried another ubuntu live CD? | 22:18 |
| holstein | do you need ubuntustudio? | 22:18 |
| volta | suppose so too, but the **** thing is not speaking to me - must be my (configuration) fault | 22:18 |
| volta | I like ubuntu studio. It's fast (xfce), slim and nice to handle | 22:19 |
| holstein | volta: im not suggestions its your fault | 22:19 |
| holstein | volta: what is the output of aplay -l ? | 22:19 |
| volta | may i post it here? | 22:19 |
| holstein | volta: you can install slim and xfce in debian 7 | 22:19 |

| holstein | the intel should be working finr | 22:20 |
| holstein | fine* | 22:20 |
| holstein | !bot | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntustudio's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 22:20 |
| holstein | anyways, i would try the same installer disc you used live | 22:21 |
| volta | lol | 22:21 |
| holstein | its likely just something tricky | 22:21 |
| holstein | volta: one interesting thing that happens via xfce.. if you mute with the keyboard, you cant unmute | 22:21 |
| holstein | volta: so, if you have tried unmuting.. try doing it again, and differently | 22:21 |
| holstein | volta: try from the live CD, so you can bypass what you have done so far | 22:22 |
| volta | FN seems to work fine (mute unmute) | 22:22 |
| holstein | volta: FN is what im talking about | 22:22 |
| holstein | volta: and it will *seem* like it is fine | 22:22 |
| holstein | volta: but, as i said, and in actualility, its not | 22:22 |
| holstein | volta: its a bug in xfce/alsa where that will *not* unmute | 22:23 |
| holstein | volta: so, if you have, as i said, used the keyboard to mute and unmute, use the GUI instead | 22:23 |
| holstein | volta: understand? | 22:23 |
| volta | I installed from a usb stick and already deleted the image, so i woud have to do the download again and prepare the stick.... | 22:23 |
| holstein | volta: are you following? | 22:23 |
| holstein | volta: OK | 22:24 |
| holstein | volta: then, try the mute suggestion please | 22:24 |
| volta | got that. going to mute/umute from the mixer (right klick on sound symbol) | 22:25 |
| volta | right klick on sound symbol offers mute option. I tried it with no result | 22:27 |
| volta | I had to manually add the sound symbol to the bar because it disappeared before | 22:28 |
| holstein | volta: try as a different user | 22:29 |
| holstein | volta: try in #xubuntu or #ubuntu since this is really not ubuntustudio related | 22:29 |
| holstein | volta: try with different kernels, if you have an older one | 22:29 |
| volta | Funny thing is that I can see a peak signal in pavucontrol | 22:29 |
| holstein | volta: that is from something playing audio | 22:29 |
| volta | tried already an older kernel | 22:29 |
| holstein | volta: you can "see" that if you have no audio device | 22:29 |
| holstein | volta: forget that | 22:30 |
| holstein | volta: its something you have muted | 22:30 |
| volta | yes, I#m running vlc for testing purposes | 22:30 |
| volta | ok | 22:30 |
| holstein | volta: run many things for testing purposes | 22:31 |
| volta | same with totem and kaffeine, no sound | 22:32 |
| holstein | volta: i understand that | 22:33 |
| holstein | volta: im just saying, try other things, as you test | 22:33 |
| holstein | volta: you have something muted, friend | 22:33 |
| holstein | volta: i would try a live CD, and you should have sound out of the box | 22:33 |
| holstein | volta: it is a debian base, so all the same "tricks" apply | 22:33 |
| holstein | volta: you are using different UI's here, and are likely just not accustomed to them, and have done something accidentally | 22:34 |
| holstein | volta: you may also, as i said, insatll xfce in debian 7 and enjoy | 22:34 |
| volta | probably right. As I wrote I have sound from this same machine, just with another linux. | 22:34 |
| holstein | volta: then, as i said, you can refer to that kernel version, and alsa version | 22:35 |
| holstein | volta: the same software is the same | 22:35 |
| volta | Would be nicer to find just the right "unmute-button" . | 22:36 |
| holstein | volta: install whatever DE you are used to using | 22:37 |
| volta | Thanks a lot for your help so far. | 22:37 |
| holstein | volta: how about the other user? | 22:37 |
| volta | good idea | 22:37 |
| volta | I'm going to log out, log into the other user and then come back | 22:38 |
| volta | hi. Had to add a new user, so it took longer. But no sound symbol and also no sound with the new user. | 23:00 |
| holstein | volta: try a live CD, friend | 23:00 |
| volta | and copy some configuration from the cd?! | 23:00 |
| holstein | or, just add the 2 packages you are interested in running into your debian which is working | 23:00 |
| volta | just want something more bleeding edge than debian, something to toy arround | 23:01 |
| volta | tried a lot of distros ;-) | 23:01 |
| volta | I'm happy I have these two quite well configured. Dispite this little catastrophe ;-) | 23:02 |
| holstein | volta: i would see that *everything* works from the live CD | 23:02 |
| volta | I'm quite shure it does. But I will try on occasin. | 23:03 |
| volta | *occasion | 23:03 |
| volta | I'll go through the links you sent me earlier in detail. See what happens. | 23:04 |
| volta | ...not that I did't already google some of them ;-) | 23:05 |
| volta | +n | 23:05 |
| holstein | volta: you can also try #xubuntu or #ubuntu | 23:05 |
| holstein | volta: i know this is challenging to understand, but this is not ubuntustduio specific | 23:06 |
| volta | I still think it's meplayingtoomucharroundspecific. But that's ok ;-) | 23:07 |
| volta | Could jack just be in the way? | 23:07 |
| holstein | volta: are you using jack? | 23:07 |
| holstein | if not, it wont be | 23:07 |
| volta | yes | 23:08 |
| holstein | volta: if you are never going to use jack, then dont use it | 23:08 |
| volta | ardour asked for it | 23:08 |
| holstein | volta: jack will break the config that i have been talking you through | 23:08 |
| volta | and some other tools | 23:08 |
| holstein | volta: you should restart the machine | 23:08 |
| holstein | launch *nothing* but vlc | 23:08 |
| holstein | troubleshoot what you know | 23:08 |
| holstein | get pulse working | 23:09 |
| holstein | !proaudio | 23:09 |
| ubottu | For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 23:09 |
| volta | Just to mention it: soud did work before, on this same installation. | 23:10 |
| holstein | volta: then, you broke it | 23:10 |
| holstein | volta: that clears that up | 23:10 |
| volta | jippeeee | 23:10 |
| holstein | volta: i was troubleshooting as though it *never* worked | 23:11 |
| volta | new stuff to learn | 23:11 |
| holstein | /join #opensourcemusicians and read the links | 23:11 |
| volta | sorry | 23:11 |
| holstein | i suggest testing with a live CD.. still.. again | 23:11 |
| volta | ok | 23:11 |
| holstein | you wont break anything permanently by messing around | 23:12 |
