Public bug reported: About three weeks back, after installing an Ubuntu upgrade, my sound hardware disappeared. Since, then I have no sound from my desktop. I have tried several fixes but with no success....
Any help is greatly appreciated...... Following is the output of the command: ubuntu-bug audio 4509 ERROR: symptom script /usr/share/apport/symptoms/audio.py crashed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 56, in thread_collect_info package = symb['run'](report, ui) File "/usr/share/apport/symptoms/audio.py", line 192, in run (package, card, isOutput, jack) = ask_jack_and_card(report, ui) File "/usr/share/apport/symptoms/audio.py", line 22, in ask_jack_and_card cards = parse_cards() File "/usr/share/apport/symptoms/_audio_data.py", line 301, in parse_cards cards = add_pa_cards(cards, pactl_parsed) File "/usr/share/apport/symptoms/_audio_data.py", line 188, in add_pa_cards for pa_card in pactlvalues['Card'].itervalues(): KeyError: 'Card' -------------------------------------------------------------------- actionparsnip said on 2011-06-08: #1 Can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------- Saurabh Bajaj said on 2011-06-08: #2 here it is: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7c357774e2103d56907068c6a7c7b32468dac87e Mark Rijckenberg said on 2011-06-10: #3 Driver version: Library version: 1.0.24.1 Utilities version: 1.0.24.2 You have no ALSA driver version, which you need. Try: sudo apt-get -y --reinstall install alsa-base alsa-utils; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* Then reboot, should be ok These instructions have been given in the past by actionparsnip and may help here. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Saurabh Bajaj said on 2011-06-10: #4 Thanks for your reply. I ran those three commands, but still no sound hardware is detected.... I ran the alsa script again, and looks like still there is no ALSA driver version. Here is the new link: http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=cb73e2841ba221eabc76e25e6c56ec53c4ae67e9 Also, FYI, I noticed the below statements when I ran the above script. I though they might be useful in diagnosing the problem: grep: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory cat: /proc/asound/modules: No such file or directory grep: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory /sbin/alsactl: save_state:1519: No soundcards found... cat: /tmp/alsa-info.tv0FWucEec/alsactl.tmp: No such file or directory Thanks! ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798000 Title: Ubuntu 11.04 No sound cards detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/798000/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
