Getting sound and video
I belive there is 3 different sources
Ive got dvd and some web vision but no sound
I have tryed before with 2 different head set’s and there all coded I’ve just tryed a web tutorial no sound
Are you saying sound doesn’t work at all ?
Have you clicked the little speaker icon by the clock and selected “Unmute” ?
If that doesnt’ work, send the output from:
sudo lshw -C multimedia
and remind me which distro/version you are running… I can’t remember what everyone is using ?
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$ sudo lshw -C multimedia

I’m using ubuntu 10.10 think I’ got all the video now but no sound
I be back late wednesday now ?
Jeez… will you EVER answer all my questions ?
WHAT LINUX DISTRO ARE YOU USING, AND WHAT VERSION ?
and
ARE YOU SAYING SOUND DOESN’T WORK AT ALL ?
and
ARE YOU SURE THE SOUND ISN’T JUST MUTED ?
is this sigfificant
(firefox-bin:2637): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine=‘BasicEngineFc’, font=‘文泉驛正黑 Medium 14.6669921875’, text=‘日本語’
it only appears when I launch a help through firefox
absolutely no sound
I’d allready tryed the muted button all apps appear to have only one button it’s on full - unmutting ?
Distro I thought I had ubuntu 10.10 is that not what you mean’t ?
I'd allready tryed the muted button all apps appear to have only one button it's on full - unmutting ?
I don’t mean unmuting in an application… I mean in the OS.
Do like I said… Click the little speaker icon by the clock and selected “Unmute” (if its muted).
Distro I thought I had ubuntu 10.10 is that not what you mean't ?
That’s exactly what I mean… but you can’t expect me to remember what distro/version YOU have if it isn’t mentioned somewhere in the current thread… also, how am I supposed to know whether you have changed disrto or upgraded, remember Ubuntu 11.04 has recently been released.
When you start a new thread… it’s a good idea to mention your distro/version again.
OK back to the problem.
No the b: Pango-WARNING[/b] has nothing to do with the sound issue, that’s firefox bitching about some font(s)… we’ll come back to that later if necessary.
Post the output from:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
I made sure it is unmuted OS afraid its what I know, but still no sound on any app ?
If I remember right you helped me do something before and said that is all the codec’s you will ever need ?
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: SigmaTel STAC9227
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$
Different type of codec… that is the hardware codec chip on the soundcard, not the software audio/video codecs.
Open a terminal, and enter:
sudo sh -c 'echo options snd-hda-intel model=ref probe_mask=1 >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf'
Reboot, and see if sound works.
If it doesn’t, tell me a bit more about the soundcard.
Is this a laptop ? … if so what make/model ?
how many jack plug sockets are there on the card ?
Also send the output from
aplay -l
No change, no it’s not a lap top, it has three sockets for the jacks built-in to the motherboard
gordon@gordon-sdesktop:~$ sudo sh -c ‘echo options snd-hda-intel model=ref probe_mask=1 >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf’
[sudo] password for gordon:
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found…
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$
OK, run:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
find the last line that reads:
options snd-hda-intel model=ref probe_mask=1
and change it to:
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
SAVE the file and exit gedit.
REBOOT… and see if your soundcard works.
If not, send the output from
asound -l
is this a typo ?
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$ asound -l
No command ‘asound’ found, did you mean:
Command ‘csound’ from package ‘csound’ (universe)
asound: command not found
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$ csound -l
The program ‘csound’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install csound
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$
yes… my mistake:
aplay -l
and
sudo lshw -C Multimedia
the output is ?
gordon@gordon-desktop:~$ aplay -l

You might also want to play with the settings in alsamixer, and see if anything is muted.
aslamixer
is it normal to have the device listed twice ?

Yes for HDA devices… one is analogue, and one is digital.
I take it that it’s still not working ?
have you tried adjusting sound levels in alsamixer ?
I have partial sound you tube, web tutorials and I can play a mp4 saved on my computer are OK but If I play a DVD I know some times get sound some times the picture frezae or jumps finishing with the “errors pa_stream_cork() Failed” and “pa_stream_writable_size failed:” both finish with connection terminated
That’s handy info…
OK, this seems to be related to a known bug in either gstreamer, or pulseaudio… see here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/644644/+index?comments=all
First, make SURE Synatic, Ubuntu Software Centre, and Update manager are ALL CLOSED.
Lets try adding the PPA mentioned and then updating those packages…
First let’s install the ppa-purge package, so we can back out of the changes easily if necessary:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
If the above command fails with ANY errors, STOP NOW, and let me know… DO NOT carry on with the following instructions yet.
OK, now let’s add the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diwic/fighting-rewinds
then update the package cache and upgrade the system
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Now reboot, and check your audio.
Thank you that does appear to have fixed the audio I’ve got all 3 playing with audio and vision Thank you again for all your help
