Title:
[P5E3 Deluxe,AD1988B, playback] No sound at all during "speaker test"
under "system settings".
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Quick Specs:
-----------------
OS: Ubuntu 12.04.3, Gnome3 desktop (not classic)
Motherboard: ASUS P5E3 DELUXE/WiFi-AP@n
alsa-base version: 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu1.1
alsa-tools version: 1.0.25-1ubuntu1
alsa-tools-gui version: 1.0.25-1ubuntu1
alsa-utils version: 1.0.25-1ubuntu5.2
alsamixergui version: 0.9.0rc2-1-9.1
All ALSA version are the ones reported by synaptic package manager.
Description of the problem:
---------------------------------------
1.) There is no audio when clicking on the the "test" buttons under the
speaker icons located in "System Settings" --> "Audio" --> "Hardware" -->
"Speaker Test". Note that I do get audio when doing a similar test from the
command line which is partly what makes me think this is a bug.
Notes:
---------
1.) Ubuntu makes it very difficult to figure out which package belongs to
which graphical interface. In the "Speaker Test" section of the System Settings
mentioned above, I have no way of finding out what package is responsible for
that interface.
2.) My speakers are on, and all relevant volume controls have been
turned up both in hardware and in software. This is evident by the
fact that I can hear audio (although with no way to control the base
being at max volume all the time no matter what is done to try and
stop this from occurring) from test performed on the command line.
3.) I followed this trouble shooting guide all the way through to the end
without solving the problem.

Extra information on the software settings and specs obtained while following
this trouble shooting guide can be found here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=46175bd3a0eecc64a3e60efeec1869080ed89629
4.) I filed a question (with all the information recommended from note 3
above) that no one answered at the following web address:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/235159
5.) I followed the steps outlines at the following web address which brought
me here:

Questions:
--------------
If any one knows what package is responsible for the "Speaker Test" graphical
interface, can you please explain to me how to bug test this further to see if
it is the GUI or if it is some package the GUI is communicating with that is
responsible for no sound being heard when clicking on the "test" icons
described in the description of the problem above?
Specific requested info:
===================
1.) lsb_release -rd
--------------------
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
Release: 12.04
2.) apt-cashe policy pkgname?
------------------------------------
Package name still needed, see question above.
3.) What I expected to happen.
------------------------------------------
When I clicked on the "test" button under each speaker icon of the 5.1 analog
surround sound room map shown under "System Settings" --> "Audio" -->
"Hardware" --> "Speaker Test", I expected to hear the relevant audio file
played for the speaker icon "test" button that I was clicking on. So for
example, if I clicked on the "Front Center" "test" button, I expected to hear
the audio "Front Center" to be played over the front center speaker.
4.) What happened instead.
No audio was heard at all when clicking on any of the "test" buttons under
there respective speaker icons noting that the volume was turned up and that
audio could be heard when doing the same test from the command line as follows:
speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav
That command line does produce sound on each speaker with the correct
respective audio file (with the exception of the sub-woofer which is labeled
LFE in the test but the audio played is "rear center" and appears to come out
the front center channel and the sub-woofer at the same time but that problem
is most likely a hardware issue). For reference that command also output the
following text to the command line while it was performing the speaker tests.
speaker-test 1.0.25
Playback device is plug:surround51
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
WAV file(s)
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 22 to 5461
Period size range from 11 to 2730
Using max buffer size 5460
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1365
was set buffer_size = 5460
0 - Front Left
4 - Center
1 - Front Right
3 - Rear Right
2 - Rear Left
5 - LFE
Time per period = 8.564185
Please let me know if I can add any extra information to this request or if I
need to clarify my question any further.
Thanks.
