sound help

n_hendrick · 04-08-2005, 08:45 PM

I just did a fresh install of hoary ubuntu, looks great. I'm having a problem with the sound in gnome though...there isn't any sound...yet. I'm running a audigy 2 gamer card and the sound worked previously in Fedora Core 3, but now I'm without sound in ubuntu. When I ran warty ubuntu I had sound right off the install...no hassle. I'm not sure if this is a alsa problem or a gnome issue...but I would very much like to have sound support back on my PC. Any help would be appreciated.

What do the commands below output?

Code:

lsmod


cat /proc/interrupts


lspci


uname -a

(you can paste the outputs of each command and encase them in the coded section by having [/code] at the end of each output and [code] at the beginning of each output.)

I see the sound drivers loaded and the controllers are not coming up as unknown which means the system knows what they are too.

Are you not hearing like desktop theme sounds or is this a problem with say, xmms or cd player?

n_hendrick · 04-10-2005, 12:21 PM

I have no sound within anything...gnome, xmms, xine,...Its almost as if that sound is muted.
I may just have to try another distro...its odd that I don't have sound within ubuntu.

codec · 04-11-2005, 01:58 AM

I use ac97 card and there are no sound as well. It is said that hoary' may have sound problems.

the solution is get alsa-driver and compile it manually.

ToastedToad · 04-11-2005, 01:57 PM

Dosen't ubuntu use the esound output?

kevinatkins · 04-11-2005, 04:10 PM

Ubuntu, being Gnome-based, uses the esound server daemon, in contrast to KDE, which uses aRTs. But the actual sound card drivers
will be either ALSA or OSS (in the lsmod shown, they're ALSA drivers)

I have come across some problems with esound not playing well with certain soundcard drivers - on-board VIA chipsets spring to
mind; I don't know if that situation has changed.

You might try, as an experiment, replacing your esound server with the polypdaudio daemon instead - it's a drop-in replacement
for esound, and card support is said to be better. It's available from one of the Ubuntu repositories (can't remember which).
