No sound in my slack64 Box...

Alexvader · 03-31-2010, 02:51 PM

Hi...

It's not that i use it for fun or entretainment... so, I had never noticed this...

yesterday I wanted to watch a youtube video, and no sound...

Sound ctrl works allright in my Kde 4.3.x, lspci is fine... i guess i may be missing a driver or something...

Can someone here give me a hint...?

Let's start with the obvious: you have run alsamixer and unmuted the channels, right?

Alexvader · 03-31-2010, 03:21 PM

Hi Dugan ( dunno why I mistyped AlienBob... )

Alsamixer seems allright... master is set to 48/100, speaker to 100/100... channels ale unmuted...

Thks for your help

sycamorex · 03-31-2010, 03:28 PM

Is that card your only audio card on that computer?

Alexvader · 03-31-2010, 03:34 PM

Hi Sycamorex

thks for your help

I think so, as per lspci, I think it is... ships in my HP pavillion dv5 1170 lappy...

T3slider · 03-31-2010, 04:15 PM

Is your user a member of the audio group? Is it just flash that has no sound, or the whole system?

Alexvader · 03-31-2010, 04:18 PM

Hi T3slider...

No sound in my system... no flash, no gxine... zilch... :|

How do I check user <alex> has sound enabled... ?

I never do log as root, and the only time i use root previleges is to makepkg, installpkg, removepkg, or src2pkg or trackinstall something...

...i do not like "accidents"

mRgOBLIN · 03-31-2010, 04:23 PM

Actually in the screenshot your speaker is muted. Not sure which speaker that refers to but it might be worth a try

"groups" should list "audio" in its output.

If it's not there, add it: su -c 'gpasswd -a alex audio'. Then log out and log back in.

Alexvader · 03-31-2010, 04:33 PM

Hi...

But how, if master is set to 55/100... ? never used alsamixer though...

It is there allright...

Code:

brianL · 03-31-2010, 04:45 PM

Are you sure you ran alsaconf before alsamixer and alsactl store?

Alexvader · 03-31-2010, 04:53 PM

Nop... I did not...

Will run alsaconf as root now...

damgar · 03-31-2010, 04:54 PM

Just as an alternate way of doing the same thing: I always use kmix -> configure channels -> visible channels and make everything visible, then check to see what's going on when I'm using a new card. Also, if I use alsamixer I have to scroll to the right to get to the controls that matter for me.

Alexvader · 03-31-2010, 05:00 PM

Ran it already... no sound yet... will reboot in a few minutes... this is compiling heavy stuff now...
