Details: No D-BUS daemon running No D-BUS daemon running ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: I just upgraded Unbutu from 10.1 (i think this is correct) to 10.4 to 11.10. My audio has been working for years. However after upgrading to 11.10 I get a constant hiss out of the speakers. I tried everything I can think of short of a fresh install. There seems to be a number of people with the same problem. If is all it would take to fix this is a new card I would do that but I dont know of a really compatiable sound card. apt-cache policy pkgname -> N: Unable to locate package pkgname My system is uses GeForce 9400 GT/PCIe/SSE2 and onboard audio. aplay --list-devices **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Why aplay --list-devices gives two identical results is puzzling to me. Another strange thing that I found is alsamixer comes up for the most part garbled. I can email someone a screen shot if they like. What I can see from the the top of the AlsaMixer screen (coppied from the terminal): AlsaMixer v1.0.24.2 q�� Card: HDA Intel F1: Help �� Chip: Realtek ALC662 rev1 F2: System information �� View: F3:[Playback] F4: Capture F5: All F6: Select sound card �� Item: Master [dB gain: -15.00] Im sure that somewhere along the line it must be my fault but I dont know what else to do. The hiss is almost like listening to someone scratching a chalkboard; at least I can trun on the mute and it stops. The sound is present no matter what sould level I change it to. Another strange effect is that when I do adjust the sound level it goes through a series of up and down pitches. I can still hear audio play but it is overlayed by the hiss. I also tried moving my cables around (testing for interference) and tried diffrent headphones but they all produce the same effect. - So please let me know what other information you might need.
