Here is my ALSAMIXER http://i.piccy.info/i9/23804f2383330...r_internal.jpg

How can I fix problem?

I have ALSA and PulseAudio on the server.

Hi

you don't mention which sound card you "want" as default sound device

leaping ahead, if you want hdmi then use pavucontrol to select that device in your config (extreme RH tab)

good luck

2) if on the other hand you want analog

in alsamixer, its difficult to see but me thinks you have muted Master control

press m to unmute and retest sound

3) I don't use ubuntu but you seem to not have set up your fonts as showing in that alsamixer image

Hi!
I want to use analog device.

I tried it. Didn't help. Will try one more time.

What do you mean? Alsamixer is pseudo graphic.

check out my signature doc.....alsamixer does not have sliders encased in X

buts thats not the main issue here, when you get a chance post the output to

Code:

dpkg -l | grep font

mine is debian so names will change but will give you an idea

Code:

not the OP

Hi

based on this thread, I think you might like to install the xfonts-base

http://blog.coolaj86.com/articles/ho...on-ubuntu.html

you may need more of xfonts but remember this is only going to be a secondary issue

have you solved the first issue yet?

so back on theme, alsamixer for outputs should show no MM (for mute)

I am far from physical server. And couldn't check sound right now.
When I will have possibility to do it I will reply about results.

Today I have access to my server. And aus9 was right. The problem was in muted master channel in alsamixer.
The first issue resolved.
Now I am trying to record sound with REC utility from SoX.

As you can see there are no sound in the file :(

When I am speaking in the mic I can hear myself from headphones.
Also I put some music through line input, and I hear this music.
But no music and sound found in the file.

Any ideas?

p.s. I will have access to the server during this week.
