Re: Re: Flash/AVI/Skype sound issue in Squeeze
Hi guys This line in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf did the job for me: options snd-usb-audio index=-2 I stumbled over it because I had to do the same in order to make sound on my Mac Mini work. This doesn't render the device unusable AFAICS, so blacklisting it isn't needed. Thanks for your hints, my sound is back. :-) What I don't get though is this: Sometimes the sound would have come back earlier after updates, and sometimes sound didn't work for flash if the .adobe and .macromedia folders were present in my home folder. Strange, no answers to that. Whatever. The current solution works. HTH, ändu signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Flash/AVI/Skype sound issue in Squeeze
Hello list, I'm having trouble with my sound in a rather fresh Testing box on KDE. Before I lay down the situation, let me clarify that I have googled, rather extensively, in pursuit of a solution to my problem, yet I have not found a solution that solves my problem. So, instead of turning my system into a bundle of conflicting packages very possibly unrelated to my problem, I decided to post my inquiry here. Now to the presentation: My sound works well for system sounds and notifications, such as the music playing when logging into KDE and when emptying the trash. I can also listen to music through Amarok and have sound from games as well (namely, Tremulous). However, I do NOT have any sound from flash player (I have installed flashplugin-nonfree) in both Iceweasel and Konqueror or any sound from AVI videos (tested through vlc). I also get a Problem with Audio Playback when making calls through Skype, but I can live without Skype. Here is what the iceweaselrc file says about my /dev/dsp wrapper for iceweasel: ja...@debian:~$ sudo nano /etc/iceweasel/iceweaselrc # which /dev/dsp wrapper to use ICEWEASEL_DSP=aoss I have tried setting it to all the other values that the iceweasel manpage says there are, yet still no luck. Here is what lspci -v says about my hardware sound (I have omitted output unrelated to audio devices or controllers): ja...@debian:~$ lspci -v 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22 Memory at fdff8000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: access denied Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be2 (rev a1) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 Memory at fcffc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: access denied And below are some screenshots from system settings-multimedia http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p190/Bulgarian_Toothpaste/?action=viewcurrent=multimedia1.png http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p190/Bulgarian_Toothpaste/?action=viewcurrent=multimedia2.png I have installed the following packages possibly related to my issue, after googling a bit: libasound libasound2-doc alsa-base alsa-utils alsa-oss alsamixergui May I also note that after running iceweasel with an aoss wrapper ja...@debian:~$ aoss /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel I see the following output on the terminal, repeated constantly: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave Yet I still get no sound. I'd like to add that I've examined the terminal output after choosing my Debian partition from Grub and noted the string: Setting up ALSA... done. kmix is well set and configured, and so is alsamixergui. Might there be any solution to my problem? I believe this is all I can provide you with for now, please do not hesitate to ask for more information and I shall give it.

Thanks, J Hi, I got a similar problem having a web cam with integrated microphone. Restarting the computer with the web cam unplugged would bring back the sound in iceweasel. Blacklisting snd_usb_audio in alsa-base-blacklist.conf did solve the problem, in a not too nice way, but it did what I wanted. Of course, I cannot use the microphone on the web cam now, but I really don't care for it.

Of course, I cannot use the microphone on the web cam now, but I really don't care for it. Hope it helps Thierry Hello Thierry, For reasons I have yet to explain my .avi and flash sound indeed worked once I unplugged my Logitech USB microphone and rebooted. Right now, what I need to do is blacklist it the same way you blacklisted the microphone component of your camera, because I also have a Windows partition in which the microphone is fully operational and needed, and I don't want to have to plug it in every time I log into Windows. This is my alsa-base-blacklist.conf: ja...@debian:~$ sudo cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf # Uncomment these entries in order to blacklist unwanted modem drivers # blacklist snd-atiixp-modem # blacklist snd-intel8x0m # blacklist snd-via82xx-modem # Comment this entry in order to load snd-pcsp driver blacklist snd-pcsp # Comment this entry in order to load pcspkr driver ja...@debian:~$ I added the lines # Blacklisting microphone input blacklist snd-sb-audio But the problem persists. I think I might have something wrong with my syntax. Here is what lsusb says about my mic (other USB devices ommitted): ja...@debian:~$ lsusb Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0556:0001 Asahi Kasei Microsystems Co., Ltd AK5370 I/F A/D Converter What should I do to keep my mic connected to the box, but not have it interfere with my sound the way it did?

J Yes it is snd_usb_audio pls note the underscore. As far as where the real problem is, I hope someone here will be able to explain more. And my guess is that there is a better solution than the one I gave you. Any help/tips are welcome.
