It's also relatively easy to mute a Mozilla window and not notice - Ctrl-M should mute/unmute - or clicking on the speaker icon in the appropriate tab.

Hopefully, a music player app will open the file and start playing it. Alternatively, does your computer have a CD/DVD/BD drive? If so, insert a music CD. Hopefully, a music player app will open and play the CD. Or, you might get a chooser dialog asking what to do; try to find a choice that plays the CD. My guess is that some sound system feature got misconfigured, such as a mixer setting. On Xfce, I have a panel with an icon that looks like a speaker. If I left click on it, I get some mute buttons and sliders I can adjust. If I right click and choose Properties, I get a tabbed pop-up window with more settings. Looking in the menu (e.g. Start button) -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control, a tabbed app starts with lots of settings. I expect Gnome has similar features. See what you can find. Look for icons with an "X" on them, that might mean mute. Click on them to turn muting off. If the above ideas fail, do you know how to issue root commands in a terminal? David

One detail I can add. I too plugged earbud. They register as headphones (unplugged) as output and Rear Microphone (plugged in) as input.

Similar sound playing occurs with any sound-playing app. For example mpg123, vlc, etc., all require a sudo or be logged in as root to work. I have looked all around the WWW to try to find a solution to this problem. The most common solution is to make sure that user ids are in the audio group in the /etc/group configuration file. Of course, I have that, and have confirmed it. This is not a brand new installation after all, but an upgrade. Other common remedies I have tried are to fiddle with the pavucontrol and alsamixer settings. My sound card does not show up in the pavucontrol (pulse doesn't find my sound card), but DOES show up in the alsamixer. I have also looked at the debian sound wiki, and other sources to try to fix this problem. Then, I remembered that I often used this form to learn about debian way back in the days when I first started using debian about 1994 or so. Perhaps I can get some expert help. Maybe a source I can go down a list of troubleshoot to nail this one down. It is obviously a permissions issue (I also looked at device permissions, etc.). Just a bit puzzled and frustrated. P.S. BTW, my sound card is a C-Media, Xonor DG with chip set CMI8788 and uses the oxygen HD audio driver. lspci -v output corresponding: 05:02.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

It did in my case. When the original MB on this box died about 3 years ago, and I replaced it with a newer, but equivalent one that was compatible with my old CPU, RAM, etc., the sound barely worked -- LOW Volume. After tinkering with it for sometime, I just totally uninstalled/purged the sound (ALSA, Pulseaudio and Pulseaduio-equalizer), reinstalled, configured the drivers, settings, etc., and it worked!

Because of the new hardware, the original install for the old hardware is probably missing needed drivers, configurations, etc. What I would do, basically, in purge ALSA and Pulseaudio, if installed, manually delete all ALSA and pulseaudio system directories and configs, etc. and reinstall ALSA, set config files, if needed, etc. > How do I go about checking the sound driver?

Re: Problem with Sound Volume
Perhaps it's hardware related and not software related. Do you connect by line outs to amp ins or do you use a headphone directly connected to the mobos output or are you using any digital interface or something else? The mobos today might use the same sound chips and internal amps as the vendors use for mobile phones, tablet PCs etc., if so, then by EU Regulation and perhaps for non-EU countries too, the maximal output level is limited. If you connect a good consumer or professional headphone with e.g. 600 Ohms, the output will be silent, you need a headphone that has less than 80 Ohms and even then the sound still will be not as loud, as many people want it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You keep posting ill-informed guesses that are insulting the people who
give you an entire operating system for free ("sound is a disaster
area", "developers and maintainers have ignored this problem",
"arbitrary and superfluous constraints"). At the same time it seems that
you cannot even be bothered to google for "C-Media USB sound adapter

Re: new problem with sound
Lubos, lv> is that a card using snd-intel-hda? No. According to investigations described in the previous half dozen or so messages, the C-Media USB sound adapter invokes snd-usb-audio and snd-hda-intel. The on-board device invokes snd-intel8x0. Sound input _via_ the C-Media adapter failed months ago at the time of the upgrade from etch to lenny, as I recall. Sound input _via_ the on-board hardware and snd-intel8x0 failed just a few days ago, 2008-08-11. I've reinstalled the alsa related packages including xfce4-mixer-alsa to no avail. I've also just made a test user account to see what happens there.

hi, Bad idea. After that sound is no longer acquired by the on-board Intel device. Sound input failed on the USB device months ago. I've tried 3 different microphones; unlikely that all have failed. The devices appear OK in Skype but there is no reply from the echo test. is that a card using snd-intel-hda? i've had the problems with a microphone on intel hda card since i got the computer... many people have the same problem, as can be seen on internet, but none of the solutions suggested worked for me...

new problem with sound
Folk, I'll start with an apology for raising another problem with sound. The conflict between USB and on-board devices was such an ordeal. Once the conflict was solved, I was ambitious enough to install the volume control in the xfce4 panel. Bad idea. After that sound is no longer acquired by the on-board Intel device. Sound input failed on the USB device months ago. I've tried 3 different microphones; unlikely that all have failed. The devices appear OK in Skype but there is no reply from the echo test. Another obvious symptom is that the green "master" volume bar in the xfce4 panel can not be raised. It can be dragged up with the mouse but disappears when the mouse button is released. Is there a microphone analogue of speaker-test? Does anyone recognize these symptoms? Any ideas? Thanks again, ...

Problem with sound - HP Pavillion dv6500t
Hi, I recently installed Debian 4.0 on a HP Pavillion dv6500t laptop. The problem is that the mute button turns on at some point during the boot (it is not on when the booting starts) and remains so. Pressing the key does not turn it off. As a result I get no sound even after using alsa mixer to set the volume to the maximum. I think the mute key stroke is detected. But it does not cause any change. I printed dmesg to see the operations that are being done about the same time as when the mute turns on. All I found was that Bluetooth, Wifi, and the Synaptics touch pad are turned on just before this happens. I have looked on google but could not find a solution.

The problem is 'solved'. To me it's no solution, since - as I wrote in the OP - I hadn't done any changes. Running for months and just apt-get update / upgrade. And then it *must not* break on Sarge. This is what I found in dmesg: ACPI: PCI interrupt :00:1f.5[B] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7 unable to grab IRQ 7 Intel ICH: probe of :00:1f.5 failed with error -16 And /proc/interrupts were identical; showing IRQ 7 to be occupied by LPT0:, contrary to what lspci makes me believe. I rebooted and disabled the Parallel Port at reboot and now everything is back to normal. Better said: 'normal'; because there is no inherent necessity to load the audio controller to IRQ7; and neither does it complain; I ask you to read the dmesg properly: ACPI has its problems with it. This is how it looks when working properly: ACPI: PCI interrupt :00:1f.5[B] -> GSI 7 (level, low) -> IRQ 7 0: 66676279 XT-PIC timer 1: 22 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 7: 170589 XT-PIC Intel 82801DB-ICH4, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem 8: 4 XT-PIC rtc 9: 0 XT-PIC acpi 11:9023557 XT-PIC eth0, ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, y enta, yenta, ohci1394 12: 58 XT-PIC i8042 14: 182138 XT-PIC ide0 Since I don't need the local LPT0:, I shall leave this 'solution' in place.

Are you using udev or devfs? If udev, is the daemon running? /dev/dsp should get created by udev when you load the snd_pcm_oss module. I don't have a computer running devfs to check, but I would imagine it's largely the same.

Problem with sound - Ensoniq 5880
Now comes the sound ... The card is recongnized (lspci) correctly as in the Subject. I googled type and debian and found that I should use the sb module. I also added the Sound-core and Sound OSS when it didn't want to install. Then I found from that same search, that sndconfig could be used. I installed and ran it. To no avail. It also recognised the card correctly, but when it came down to playing the sample, it said "the following error occured playing the sample: OK" (meaning, that no error was indicated). The same machine runs RH 8 flawlessly, including sound. Thanks for any help ! Uwe -- Which is worse, ignorance or apathy? Who knows!

i dont know what worked. but here is what i did after my problem.
downloaded and installed libmikmod, splay and aumix packages
got out of kde and ran splay from console
used aumix to up the volume and it rocked.
as kent had identified, it seems to be problem of kde than of debian.
because the moment i have k running, i cant hear anything. get into
gnome and all is well!
any solutions for kde problem? it shows device /dev/dsp not found or
some such thing.
thanx in advance,
sandip

It looks like everything is in place, but if I remember correctly, the
same could be said for my setup when it still didn't work, at which
point I believe I installed the alsa drivers, which solved my problem.

If you have broadband (or a decent dialup connection) you can modify
/etc/apt/sources.list to point to an ftp or http site rather than to the
local CDs. Then "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get install splay".
If you want, you can use XMMS from within X, but do it without KDE/Gnome
(for the present time, for testing purposes); use something simple like
ICEWM. Kill any session managers ("/etc/init.d/wdm stop" where "wdm"
might also be "kdm" or "xdm" or "gdm". Then create (or if they exist
already, rename and then create) .xsession and .xinitrc in your home
directory with the single line "icewm", and then start X manually with
"startx".

It's been forever since I had to get it working, and I don't have any step-by-steps, but the general idea was to compile a 2.4.18 kernel, including module support for the via8233, then apt-get the alsa stuff (seems like there were three relevant packages -- I'm not at that machine currently to see what I've got installed; IIRC alsa-modules was one of them). I think I wound up manually compiling the alsa-modules (./configure, make, make install), and then modprobing the resulting via82xxx-snd module. I wish I could give you a step-by-step, but I just don't remember. Sorry. About the only general suggestion I could make would be to recompile the kernel and strip it down to a more minimal setup (don't worry about NVIDIA or accelerated X, or USB support (unless needed for keyboard/mouse), etc), just for testing purposes. Once you get sound working, assuming you do, then you can go back and add all the bells and whistles. Also, don't load the sound modules from within X, again, to keep things simple for testing purposes. Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You'll either need such a module loaded (lsmod shows only the ethernet nic module loaded), or you'll need support for that chipset compiled directly into the kernel (which would probably only be the case if you've compiled your own kernel and included that support, which you seem to indicate that you've done). If the kernel sources or modules don't work properly, you may need to use an "outside" driver, such as the alsa drivers. I had to do this for my onboard AC'97 chipset (via8233).

What's the error message? What does 'dmesg | tail' say?
In case there's no error message most likely the channels of your sound
device are just tuned to a low volume or are muted.
Run a mixer application (aumix is good) and turn up the volume and
unmute the appropriate channels.

Just logging out of X should be sufficient, although you could also kill your session-manager if you have one running (something like "/etc/init.d/kdm stop"). Then make sure you have a console-mode sound player (apt-get install splay). Now try playing an ogg (or if you must, .mp3) file like so: splay myrockingtune.ogg What are the results? You might need to run a mixer (like alsamixer or amixer) to unmute the audio or to up the volume. Also, you'll need to be in the audio group (just type "groups" to see what groups you're in; to add yourself to audio, as root type "addgroup your_user_name audio"). You can also check out the results of "lspci" to make sure Linux agrees with you as to what sound card you have. Also "lsmod" will show you the loaded modules. Hopefully these tidbits will help get you a little further along. Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problem with sound card.........help?
Hi, This is my first day using Debian and I've got everything installed and working and I've even found a load of the configuration stuff, but the one thing I can't fix is my soundcard. This is my system: Debian Woody with 2.4.18bf2.4 kernel Soundblaster Live! soundcard Running Gnome on top of Enlightenment Neither the Gnome sound server nor the Esound daemon are able to connect to the sound device. Errors say that /dev/dsp is inaccessible: permission denied. The permissions on /dev/dsp are fine: crw-rw root audio /dev/dsp I did try changing that to: crw-rw-rw- root audio /dev/dsp just in case, but that didn't have any effect. I've tried both the sb and sb_lib modules - the sb module gave an error when I tried loading, but the sb_lib was reported as successful. modprobe -l shows all the sound modules loaded anyway. pnpdump doesn't seem to be on the system to try that methodapt doesn't want to install it either - says it can't find itbut there must somewhere be a little config program, like etherconf, that will allow me to set it up manually if it can't detect it... So what am I doing wrong? Or more to the point, what have I missed when I set this up? Its got to be something pretty minor that I've forgotten along the way...I've got far too used to RedHat doing it all for me!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated - I promise to return the favour one day when I know how to work things properly ;o) Thanks in advance, Matt Claridge Linux Systems Administrator & Debian newbie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Strange problem with sound in Flash plugin (maybe OT)
Hi all, This is a really weird problem with sound in Flash movies. The problem is that the sound only plays once in a while. E.g., if I point Mozilla at the well-known Star Wars Gangsta Rap animation, http://www.its.caltech.edu/~po/gangsta.swf, and I keep reloading the animation, I will get sound maybe 40% of the times I reload. The same is true with Netscape 4.77, although in this case I get sound about 90% of the time. I do not have problems with any other sound-playing program: xmms, playmidi, etc. all work properly every time. Any ideas?

Logfiles are stored in /var/log like /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages Useful information about your hardware is "stored" (not really stored) in /proc. For example $/sbin/lspci -v reads from /proc/bus/pci and displays information about you PCI-devices. Phil

I think I wasn't too harsh or something. But rebooting in order to see if the sound card was detected at boot-time is about the most dumb reason to reboot I can think of. Phil

Re: problem with sound
Sorry, that my knowledge does have a big gap so far what linux matters. But I think you wasn't born with your momentary knowledge, too. So please try to treat somebody with a little bit of the respect he gives to you, even although he has to advance in his abilities. I always try to do so, too. Ok? What do you think?

Re: problem with sound
I didn't compile it as a module, because one told me it would be better to compile it direcect into the kernel. And so I did. I've compiled the '100% compatible SoundBlaster 16 driver' and a driver for OPL/3.

Which module did you compile? (I hope you compiled it as a module...) How did you try to load it? modprobe? Was it loaded? ($/sbin/lsmod) If you use a kernel module you simply need to load it (maybe adjust mixer settings) and it should work. There is certainly no need for a /etc/sound.conf Phil
problem with sound
Hi! I can't get my sound card to work under linux (SB16). So far I've recompiled my kernel with sound drivers, what else do I have to do? In the howto is a script mentioned to create the /etc/sound.conf but I cant't find such a script. Thanks for any help! Christian (Germany)

If you know the IRQ, DMA and I/O port settings for your card, run modconf and set it up so that the cs4232 module is correctly loaded. If you don't know them, I suggest you apt-get sndconfig, which I am not sure is available for potato. HTH. -- Allan F.
