In other workds to be helpfull!!! Maybe your problem is already fixed here |
Low Volume after update
Has anyone noticed extremely low volume after this update. I can barely hear sound coming from my speakers, and the PCM is all the way up in KMix and alsamixer.

I have yet to try the ACPI stuff mentioned here tho and this might do alot to clear up the sound but im not sure till I try it out. |

Sound only in headphones issue is also resolved with the latest release of the alsa drivers.

thanx for all
this solution work for the "lastest" driver of alsa about the low sound after making this how to ! i guess it will be from audio control just raise the the sound and it works fine |
I am also using an intel hda card and I cannot get my sound working. I have tried what you listed in the initial post to no avail. I am running gentoo on a sony vaio laptop and I can get sound to work using a kanotix live cd. My alsasound starts without errors but alsamixer is missing the pcm and master bars. Any help would be appreciated.

I am wondering if your mention of modifying the BIOS might help me? If so, can you give me some idea whether I need to edit the BIOS before Linux loads, or is there something from within Ubuntu I need to do? I keep looking for something more MS-oriented, like a Control Panel, but so far the things I have tried have all had to be entered into a Terminal Window as command syntax. If there is a GUI-based interface for making these adjustments, I'd like to know about it. I appreciate any help you can give. Regards, Larry |
Oh, I should have mentioned that according to the information I have gleaned so far, the notebook has an Intel ICH6 audio chip. I also have run alsamixer and made sure nothing was muted. I haven't tried a headset, though. I'll have to do that.

Modifyin' the ACPI is not an easy task. Requires a little knowledge in the command line. I really don't think you will find any kind of GUI for fixing these issues unfortunatelly all computer manufacters make their models to work with MS Window$ (Except for IBM Lenovo). One more thing, you have a ICH6 family chip and I have no idea if this chip is in the same situation as the ICH7 however, I'v read someplace that this chip was totally supported in the alsa driver v1.0,14rc. I'm sorry I cannot be of any more help. Best Regards Luis C. Suárez EDIT. I believe SLED 10 has a better approach to fix these issues with less effort than Ubuntu. I strongly suggest u to give it a try with SLED 10 |

Thanks for the suggestion. In the interim, I learned that I actually do have sound on the headphones, just not the speakers. I have read that complaint dozens of times on the forums, so it must be a pretty common hurdle. I also just learned today that my son ( who just handed me down this notebook) said he had been having some problems with the headphone jack, and had tried to work on it without actually having the right tools. Although it works, he thinks he could have damaged the jack in a way that would short it, making the jack appear to the notebook to have a plug in it all the time. That could disrupt the sound to the speakers full time. So I need to disassemble the notebook and check that out. Once I get done doing that, I'll know more. If I still don't get sound on the speakers, I'll try SLED. ( I have tried OpenSUSE Live DVD in the interim, but had the same situation there, so I rebooted the Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy on the hard drive.) Regards, Larry |
