[Bug 277339] Re: Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200
Could those affected indicate if they are still seeing this behaviour. I see from the report that the problem is transient in that it occurs on some boots and not others. Could we get the alsa information attached to this bug for a boot which has broken sound (not a good boot at this time).

OK, then it's not a (sorry, you're right...I'm used to people blaming Pulse for um...everything..."PulseAudio ate my lunch!") Phonon issue. The "aplay doesn't work either" thing means it's almost certainly the driver. Hm, will have to see if the quirk you need already exists or if you need a new one. -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 277339] Re: Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200
PulseAudio is not installed in my system (I thought in Kubuntu was not installed by default). So it could be a Phonon problem, but sound is not working in GTK applications, nor aplay either. output of lsmod | grep snd: snd_hda_intel 381872 1 snd_pcm_oss46848 0 snd_mixer_oss 22784 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm83204 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 10884 0 snd_seq_oss38528 0 snd_seq_midi 14336 0 snd_rawmidi29824 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 15232 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq57776 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 29960 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 15116 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd63268 11 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 15328 1 snd snd_page_alloc 16136 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/p pcmciautils powernowdpppd-dns policykitpowernowd.early procps -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 277339] Re: Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200
When it works on boot and stops working later while you're running, can you post the output of: ps -ef | grep pulse lsmod | grep snd Also try "aplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav" and see if any sound still comes out that way. I'm wondering if PulseAudio is dying for some reason or if the driver is being unloaded for some reason. -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 277339] Re: Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200
No ACPI events, I haven't try to hibernate or suspend yet. It just happens when I'm listening to something. For example, when watching a youtube video sound has stopped working in the middle of it. It doesn't stop working in the middle of listening to something very often, though. It's more common sound doesn't work from the beginning and I have to reboot to get it working. If there's something I should try or check, please, tell me. -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 277339] Re: Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200
When it stops working while it's on, is there anything specific you're doing? Does it ever stop in the middle of you listening to something? Any ACPI events in between, like hibernate or suspend? -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 277339] Re: Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200
Mackenzie: Yes, the problem still persists. I updated to Intrepid when it was oficially released, and now sound is not working one every three times I start my laptop (more or less). It's the same problem that happened with Hardy . Also,sometimes, sound stops working while it's on and I have to reboot to get it working again. -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 277339] Re: Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200
Just a bit of constructive criticism here. I don't doubt Mackenzie when he says that there are likely multiple bugs. But I think that people reporting a bug which certainly -seems- very similar on the surface should be treated with respect. People reporting bugs should be respectful, and people interacting with bug-reporters should be respectful. It's not reasonable to expect non-experts to know that multiple and widespread problems with sound in HDA Intel devices are all unrelated. That said, the fix for me was the following: sudo depmod -a sudo update-initramfs -u sudo reboot -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

By the way, can you file a separate bug for the volume key issue? That's unrelated to the sound driver. It's likely to be related to acpi. ** Also affects: linux Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 277339] Re: Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200
No, go file your own bug. They are separate issues. See where I listed STAC9205, ALC889A, and ALC888? Those are all separate codecs. They all use separate drivers. I just read all of your alsa-info.sh outputs, and you three *definitely* have very different hardware from Sikiatriko, Jean, and patcito. Those three have similar hardware, but they were integrated into different motherboards, which could have introduced bugs separately. HDA Intel is an extremely broad specification that is implemented very differently by every hardware vendor and then tweaked when integrated into the chipsets and motherboards. In essence, all being HDA Intel means diddly squat. Hint: it could mean one of 2^256 possible different pin configurations. 2^256 is an incredibly large number. HDA Intel only tells us what directory to look in, the files are still likely different. And what's with the scare-quotes around help? I do kind of know what I'm doing in this regard. I fixed the sound driver on my laptop, and I've been being taught about how the sound subsystem works by an ALSA developer since Hardy was released. -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Mackenzie This is clearly a related issue; HDA Intel (czar), HDA Intel (Derek), HDA Intel (Sikiatriko) and HDA Intel (Richard). So, thanks for your "help" but unless you have something valuable to share please keep this conversation on-topic and the multi-replies to a minimum. k, ty. -- Sound intermittently inaudible at boot with Sigmatel STAC9200 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277339 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
