if you go advanced you can see the # symbol but I find it quicker to do this
wrap the words code and /code with square brackets []

2)
Quote:
cat /proc/asound/cards---your result only one
damn

can you look into your bios please and see if there is something there to change to something other than hdmi

(b) can you temporarily disable skype in case its interfering by grabbing your analog device.....grrrr.....grins

if nothing I accept your reluctance to use a model=string so lets move on

#################

confirm dbus is running pls (on debian) try
Code:
 /etc/init.d/dbus status
if above bios no good try this

open terminal type pacmd and press enter as a local user pls

type help and press enter

type list-modules

look for the udev detect module if found or not pls report

I may have to goole to see if skype is holding and not releasing your analog device.....and yes I know you have 2 devices

yeah a quick google shows this link
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeTroubleshooting

I suggest you delete your .asoundrc first

next do as link suggests

Skype has been known to mess up the mixer settings. So disable the automatic configuration of the mixer controls in Skype: right-click with your mouse on the Skype icon in the system tray - Options - Sound Devices - remove the tick at: Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels. Click Apply. Then close Skype (right-click with your mouse on the Skype icon - Quit).

Here is something else I've noticed just now: If I have something plugged into the headphones port on the front panel (e.g., a set of headphones) everything works fine except that pavucontrol still thinks that the front headphones jack is the only port available. Sound comes out of both the headphones and the speakers, I can do a speaker test, everything. I'm beginning to think that the only problem is that, for some reason, the pulseaudio subsystem doesn't know that the backplane speaker port exists. ALSA doesn't seem to care whether anything is plugged in or not, so doesn't care about the second port (and may, in fact, not be aware of it either, but it doesn't matter).

Maybe we're wasting our time chasing the wrong problem.

Also, again, on the target system (Fedora 19) I don't even have Skype installed yet. That's only on the Fedora 18 partitions, which I don't have booted. I truly don't think that's the issue.

If by the "bios" you mean the bios screen I can pull up after powering on, I don't find anything about HDMI in there. Also, I don't know what you mean by
Code:
/etc/init.d/dbus status
There is a /run/dbus, but no /etc/init.d/dbus.

Thanks for pointing out the "#" button, BTW.

I GOT IT!

I got it, I got it, I got it.

I've been doing some Googling and found the following: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...io/+bug/946232. Then, I went down to comment #32 as mentioned in the bug description, opened /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf (as root), commented out all of the "required-any" lines, and saved it. Finally, I rebooted, opened the "System Settings / Sound" control, and Voila: All was golden.

Now I just need to decide what to do next. Report it to Pulseaudio? Print off and save a copy of the above-mentioned bug report for future use? Forget the whole thing? Decisions, decisions, ...

Thanks for your help, aus9.

ADDED LATER:

I tried the above on my Fedora 18 install, but instead of rebooting I simply killed and restarted pulseaudio. That worked as well.
