I have no sound in _SOME_ applications
I am running under Debian Testing/Unstable under KDE.
I am using the proprietary Nvidia driver version 304.88. I had all the sound on Wednesday, and then something "broke" and I am totally clueless. I have sound in some applications, like Amarok and Juke, for example. I have no sound in youtube and 3-D games, like Warzone2100 and Sauerbraten, for example. Now, I had a stroke in 2011, so I cannot figure this out. However, I have executed "alsctl init", I have messed with "kmix" and the "phonon" settings. I have even uninstalled the "sound" packages executed "aptitude clean" and reinstalled the packages. I suspect that the problem is with the Nvidia driver, but I cannot figure this out. |
Hi: ;)
I'm the a sound expert but I'll share with you what worked for me. Open the mixer and raise up the PCM & Master. Try running: Code:
alsa+1 init If that doesn't help-- Open the terminal and run: Code:
alsamixer Do a sound test which is file noise.wav. [00] at the bottom of the column means un-muted- [mm] at the bottom of the colum mean muted- Make sure that you have th Linux Sound Architecture Driver- Files that are associated with sound that you can look at: Quote:

you could also check that the correct device is chosen in every parameter of the sounds and multimedia section of systemsettings

Nope, not working
I have sound in warzone2100, but I still have no sound in youtube, nexuiz, or sauerbraten.

{solved}
OK, I created another account. For whatever reason, all of the applications had sound, thus, the problem was something within my $HOME directory. Then I deleted my temporary account and started deleting all of my configuration files, {sorry, I had a stroke and I cannot think effectively anymore}.
After a re-boot, everything has worked, but I have no idea what I had needed to delete. After re-configuring KDE and my browsers, I am now playing with sound. |
Thanks for the update. I expect that your filling in the details will help someone down the road.
