| flip | hey, my audio was showing as dummy driver and i uninstalled alsa and reinstalled then restarted alsa and nothing. THis is the second time it has happened. any idea what to do? please? | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | sure | 01:46 |
| holstein | i mean, my first step would be, to identify if the hardware is working | 01:46 |
| holstein | i use, either, the promised, supported operating system, likely windows, or a known-good linux live iso | 01:46 |
| holstein | *if* i surmise that my hardware is functioning proerly, id move on to simple tests to see that the hardware is present, and alsa is "seeing" it | 01:47 |
| holstein | i would, look in my bios, see that its enabled.. i would then, either from my installed OS, and/or a live iso, run lspci and aplay -l and arecord -l | 01:48 |
| holstein | lspci can show it, and you still can *not* get audio from the device | 01:48 |
| holstein | lspci just means the os is seeing it, not alsa using it with a driver and all that is needed | 01:49 |
| holstein | !audio | 01:49 |
| lubotu1 | 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. | 01:49 |
| holstein | all of that is outlined there ^ | 01:49 |
| holstein | then, if i still had issues with my system installed, i wouldnt start removing and reinstalling and sudo doing things first | 01:49 |
| holstein | you can just break, or make things works | 01:50 |
| holstein | worse* | 01:50 |
| holstein | i would, first, simply "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to search for and apply all upgrades | 01:50 |
| holstein | i would then, reboot, if there is a kernel upgrade, and apply that.. test.. i would look into *if* this is something that used to work, or was recently "broken" by a kernel upgrade.. regardless, i would note the kernel that *is* supporting it, if i find one that is providing support | 01:51 |
| holstein | *then*, i would simply try as another user, as well.. see that its not just my users config causing the issue | 01:52 |
| holstein | anyways, theres your wall-o-text, flip | 01:52 |
| flip | sorry, thanks man | 01:53 |
| flip | i really appreciate it. im in multiple chats since i didnt have good luck at first | 01:53 |
| holstein | well, you may have specificaly broken soemthing worse with a sudo command.. or, have broken hardware | 01:54 |
| holstein | i wouldnt waste time til you see that you have hardware that isnt broken.. | 01:54 |
| holstein | you can sudo mess with whatever you like for days in a row, and if the card is broken, its broken.. | 01:54 |
| flip | apparently lscpi brought up if the card was connected | 02:08 |
| holstein | lol | 02:15 |
| holstein | yeah, plugging the device in is important ;) | 02:16 |
| mhall119 | hey guys, is this loco team planning on attending SELF? | 19:25 |
| holstein | mhall119: i would say, not as a team, for sure | 19:26 |
| holstein | i usually cant do self | 19:26 |
| holstein | havent been able to :/ | 19:26 |
| mhall119 | is there anyone active in the SC team? their IRC is pretty much empty | 19:26 |
| holstein | i think its a little worse than this one, for sure | 19:26 |
| holstein | mhall119: they may have a list.. | 19:27 |
| mhall119 | yeah, I'll look them up on loco.u.c | 19:27 |
| holstein | you never know who just doenst do IRC, and is still on the list | 19:27 |
| holstein | not able to come to meetings, or whatever | 19:27 |
| holstein | i plan on picking this one back up ASAP | 19:27 |
| holstein | im building a house, and other things that i cant thin out anymore right now | 19:28 |
| mhall119 | understandable | 19:28 |
| mhall119 | holstein: are you an Ubuntu Member? | 19:29 |
| mhall119 | ah, I see that you are | 19:29 |
| mhall119 | holstein: if you have the time to attend, and it's just a question of money, you can request sponsorshop to go through this: http://community.ubuntu.com/help-information/funding/ | 19:30 |
| mhall119 | we've used that to send Ubuntu Members to many conferences around the world | 19:30 |
| holstein | mhall119: oh, the $$ is fine | 19:32 |
| holstein | mhall119: i just work on those times.. | 19:32 |
| mhall119 | ah, unfortunately we don't have a pool of extra time to hand out :) | 19:32 |
| holstein | im a musician, and what works for "normal" folks usually is but buisness hours :) | 19:33 |
| holstein | mhall119: if you find that pool, please! let me know.. | 19:33 |
| mhall119 | heh, definitely | 19:33 |
| holstein | mhall119: im thinking fall for getting this team back on the rails | 19:33 |
| mhall119 | holstein: that fund is also available to use for loco team events, if you want to do a release party or meetup with food or drinks provided | 19:34 |
| holstein | mhall119: maybe something to help get it off the ground, in the fall | 23:00 |
| holstein | after schools start back.. etc | 23:00 |
