[00:32] hello all === havenstance_ is now known as havenstance === havenstance_ is now known as havenstance === Spass_ is now known as Spass [14:24] hello: im running ubuntu 18.04 and i dont have sound. when i run pavucontrol my sound device is listed as "dummy output" when i type "cat /proc/asound/cards" i get this output :: http://pasteall.org/1062236 could someone please help me diagnose this problem? [14:46] I keep ending up in xubuntu-unregged, even I DO have a registered nick... [14:46] something's wrong with that I suppose [14:47] nikolam, try using sasl [14:56] nomenon, I'll try that, thank you :) [14:57] yessum, it solved lots of my issues on freenode. [14:57] also link yournick_ yournick__ to yournick with nickserv [14:57] so your alternate nicks are covered under the one account [15:27] there is no "disable hdmi audio" in my cmos [15:32] my sound card is detected and apears to be working properly but i have no sound. i suspect that xubuntu is trying to send sound through hdmi. i do not want to use hdmi for my sound. i want to use the speaker jack. this is onboard audio. [15:33] can someone help me figure out an audio problem please? [15:42] surgy, did you look in pavucontrol? [15:43] diogenes_, yes it looks like it should work [15:44] also i looked in alsa mixer and changed it from hdmi output to hd-audio-gerneric but everytime i close alsamixer and go back in its on hdmi output [15:45] surgy, have you tried the live session with usb if the sound works there? [15:46] diogenes_, no.... but this is a brand new fresh install [15:48] diogenes_, im almost positive that the problem is that xubuntu is defualting to hdmi output. and i dont know how to tell it to not use hdmi audio output [16:01] i just checked my audio does not work in a live session either [16:01] pavucontrol lists my device as a [16:01] as a "dummy ouput" [16:02] diogenes_, [16:02] surgy: each streaming application has their own setting on pavucontrol, like firefox can stream to analog but mplayer to hdmi [16:03] GridCube, how do i access that setting? [16:04] when you are playing any sound pavucontrol shows you their dedicated volume control, there you can choose were each application streams to [16:04] GridCube, if i opend pavucontrol and go to the play back tab and click "applications" there are no further options [16:04] it will only show if there is a stream going on [16:05] yeah it says "firefox: audiostream" but i dont see how i can change it from hdmi to analog [16:05] surgy, can you disable your HDMI audio controller in pavucontrol in the lat tab - Configuration? [16:06] I have it disabled on my PC [16:06] Spass, what is "lat tab" ? [16:06] *last [16:06] https://i.stack.imgur.com/jh5oc.png [16:06] Spass, i dont see a last tab :/ [16:07] the last tab would be the configuration tab [16:07] your pavucontrol window looks different than that on the screen GridCube sent above? [16:08] GridCube, that "box" with the different audio devices. my pavucontrol doesnt have that [16:08] Spass, yes [16:08] then on the last tab of configuration you have disabled something [16:08] oh, in that case the issue is something bigger [16:08] it would not show if there aren't options [16:08] likely you either disabled hdmi or analog [16:09] surgy, so what tabs do you see exactly in that window? [16:09] sec ill get you a screen [16:10] http://pasteall.org/pic/2299ed3bd26d73c42ceba07c04656d0a [16:11] make the window bigger and you'll see the configuration tab [16:11] Spass, [16:11] it's hidden under the arrow [16:12] (that 'pasteall' website doesn't load in my browser at all) [16:13] beautiful! [16:13] lol [16:13] GridCube, i knew it would be a simple fix [16:14] now share an image of your configuration tab, when you press print screen use the option to upload to imgur in the screenshotter [16:14] but my headphones jack doesnt work... [16:15] http://imgur.com/WOqQtRwl.png [16:15] lol the tiniest of pics [16:15] can't read anything [16:16] http://i.imgur.com/WOqQtRw.png [16:16] ok [16:16] it says "Unplugged" on your hdmi [16:16] good [16:16] so it takes it as it's disconnected [16:16] im not using hdmi [16:16] so it wont show you any option to stream to it [16:16] my speakers are working now [16:16] but my headphone jack is not working [16:17] surgy, laptop or PC? [16:18] Spass, desktop with headphone jack in front bezel. i have good audio from the port on the back just no headphone output [16:20] open the third tab "Output Devices" and plug / unplug your headphones couple times, check if something is changing [16:20] maybe you have that output muted [16:20] mmhm, an easier way could be checking directly on alsamixer as well [16:22] surgy, you can also try to disable that HDMI controller for now, son in the Configuration tab choose "Disabled" from the first list [16:23] kewl [16:23] but my headphones are just saying "unplugged" wether its in or not [16:26] Spass, GridCube any ideas? [16:28] surgy, so when you play some audio using speakers and you plug in your headphones the sound still comes from the speakers ot is it muted? [16:29] did this work before? [16:29] Spass, yes and also pavucontrol continually says that the headphones are unplugged [16:29] are you sure is not a hardware issue? [16:29] have you tried different headphones? or the speaker's plug? [16:29] GridCube, positive it is not hardware. it worked in windows has not yet worked in linux [16:30] try using alsamixer and see that the "headphones" entry is not marked as MM [16:30] also you could try to unplug the speakers and plug in the headphones in the speakers place, see if the headphones work [16:32] yeah, looks like the front jack could be muted in alsa and pulseadio can't see it, definitely worth checking [16:33] nothing is muted in alsa mixer [16:35] well that's a weird issue indeed, so pavucontrol recognizes that you plugged-in your headphones, it mutes speakers, but it still shows your headphones as unplugged? [16:35] no [16:36] pavucontrol says my headphones are not plugged in ever [16:36] mmm [16:36] but it mutes the speakers or no? [16:36] in the configuration tab, do you have extra options for the analog device? [16:36] see it says "duplex" [16:36] do you have something like 7.1? [16:37] it does not mute the speakers [16:38] GridCube, thats for hdmi [16:38] mmm [16:39] so you can only disable or duplex the analog device? [16:41] analog stereo or duplex [16:42] try the stereo option? [16:42] sorry i can't think of any other option [16:43] surgy, paste the output of the command "inxi -Axxx" here -> https://paste.ubuntu.com/ [16:44] sorry... thank you guys for all the help but i have to go. [16:44] thank you and sorry for elaving abruptly [22:38] hello all [22:38] what's new? [23:03] hello kj4, nothing new really
