Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-media
#lsb_release -rd >Description: Ubuntu 9.04 >Release: 9.04 I installed jaunty to try and get a more integrated sound system than heron. I have working on and off for the last month to get softphones and audacity to work. At one point, I did go through the helpful article about choosing the correct kernel sound module for my intel motherboard sound. #lspci | grep Audio >00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio >Controller (rev 02) gnome-volume-control-pulse is 2.26.0-0ubuntu3 I found that the microphone and headphone worked in audacity, but not in kphone. After googling and trying several things that didn't work, I came across this: http://platonic.techfiz.info/2009/01/22/fixed-no-sound-on-ubuntu-904-alpha2/ which says: "After upgrading my Ubuntu laptop to Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04’s code name) Alpha2 release , I was not able to listen to music for couple of days and I was very much tensed. Today thought of recompiling the kernel as Volume Manager didn’t give me much options to fiddle with the settings. Luckily I went through launchpad once again to find Question #57928 where in I was pointed to Use Gnome Alsa Mixer to get this issue resolved. That was right, I was sure that I had no issues reported in kernel which is related to SoundCard. Hence it should be related to settings which are hidden at the moment in volume manager. So, I hit the command gnome-alsamixer to find Mute on all output’s. Remove all the mute options and you should be good enough." My concern is that I had to load an optional package and unmute these undocumented (to me) devices and enable three copies of "Input source". IMHO, having to jump through hoops like this is equivalent to sound not working for most users. I suggest that at a minimum, when installed all devices be enabled and unmuted. Better way to much sound than none. ** Affects: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- no sound until optional gnome-alsamixer umuted ambiguous devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410360 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-media in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
