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