[Bug 1684244] Re: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s
Anyone had the sound problem that your gnome sound control seems to be switching between headphones and speakers, again and again and a nasty noise comes out? It keeps switching by itself and sound gets interrupted always, nothing solves it. I even purged all pulseaudio and alsa. First time happened when Ubuntu 17.04 was out, and this week there has been an update and it's happening again :( Ubuntu 17.04 X64, Asus X55V where the problem happens mostly -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684244 Title: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1684244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1684244] Re: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s
Despite all the above, the sound problems remain randomly in Xubuntu too.. I found on Google that this seems to be a kernel related bug (or just a lack of support of my hardware) and that it perhaps will be fixed with the kernel 4.11 or 4.12. Also I found UKUU, an interesting tool for easily upgrading the Linux kernels for the Ubuntu family of operating systems. So I installed UKUU and upgraded the kernel to its last version (4.10.14-041014-generic while I'm writing these lines). It seemed to work as I got sound for the next few days. But if I restart with the earphones plugged in, then it happens all the same and it gets mute (no sound from the speakers neither from the earphones). Restarting the OS helps sometimes, some other times don't. By upgrading its kernel I got a notably faster, lighter Xubuntu 17.04 than before, though... and a yet much faster operating system than Windows 10, for the case, which it's nice as my laptop is not very powerful. The only way to recover the sound it's to start up to Windows 10. Then to vary the volume with its slide on the system tray. If I get sound in Windows then it (likely) will be sounds in Xubuntu, as well. In one occassion Windows 10 has advised me to open the assistant for troubleshooting sound problems. I did it twice (the first time Windows didn't find any problem, although there were no sounds, also in Windows!). The second time I launched the sound assistant, it made some changes in the hardware, because the sound hardware was deactivated -it said-, so Windows activated it again and asked me to confirm if there were sounds already. Yes, it had sounds again and the next time I started up in Xubuntu there were sounds, as well. So I think this is a problem of that the Linux kernel has a lack of support of the sound hardware of my laptop and, unless somebody writes some workaround, we will have to wait until the kernel is properly upgraded for totally supporting it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684244 Title: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1684244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1684244] Re: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s
I searched a bit in Google and -I think- that I've found the solution by resetting the default "sink": The webpage: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comments/5d3gcb/no_sound_in_linux_mint_18/ First, I tried the first workaround in the terminal: $ sudo alsa force-reload $ sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio $ sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio $ sudo alsa force-reload But I got not sounds yet. So, I tried the second advice: $ pacmd list-sinks My "sink" it's sink 0, so I wrote: $ pacmd set-default-sink 0 Then: $ pulseaudio -k I restarted the OS, and the laptop has sounds again; Perhaps it would have sounds by applying the first or the second workaround only and restarting, but the case it's that doing the 2 things advised above the sound works OK now. I have applied this fix on Xubuntu 17.04, but likely it will work with Kubuntu and other flavors, as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684244 Title: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1684244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have to say that Xubuntu 17.04 just got the same sound problem... All of a sudden, the laptop got not sounds through speakers nor headphones and a restart does not fix it. Ubuntu MATE 17.04 recovers from this sound bug by restarting the laptop (at least, the few times I had to do it before installing Kubuntu and now Xubuntu). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684244 Title: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1684244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1684244] Re: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s
So I installed Xubuntu 17.04 and sound works flawlessly. I didn't lose the sound not even one time this far. Only one time the battery light has started to blink in rows of four times but sound worked perfectly anyway. I don't know if the light has something to do with the sound problem or not, but AFAIK it never did blink in Windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1684244 Title: No sounds with Kubuntu 17.04 on ASUS A541s To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1684244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
