If your outputs are muted or have 0% volume, you won't get sound. You can uninstall pulseaudio with: sudo dpkg --remove pulseaudio (You can always install it again if you want to.) If your audio works with pulseaudio uninstalled, but fails with it installed, then you'll know you have a pulseaudio problem.

No sound in Wheezy; Pulse audio through Nvidia graphics card to HDMI
Hi, Just reinstalled debian and are having lots of problems getting the sound to work through HDMI. I had it working but now it has just stopped. I'm watching the screen through the same HDMI so I presume hardware is good. Eventually I want to use this system to run MPD.

Here's my setup as described by aplay; james@Hawaiian:~$ aplay -L The fact that aplay -L never mentions NVidia in the CARD= sections should tell you that you have a problem. Does your kernel see an audio device associated with your card? It should look something like this in lspci: eddie% lspci | grep -i nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce GT 640] (rev a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1) Whatever you have for your PCI IDs for your graphics card, there should be a .1 device for the Audio Controller portion. If you don't see that, you may have an older card that doesn't support directing audio to HDMI with software. The older cards typically require a wire to connect the SPDIF output from the motherboard (or other) sound card to an SPDIF input on the graphics card. If you have that kind of card, check your cabling. Eric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I did notice that after the first restart of the system the audio worked for some time and then stopped. This hasn't occured again so far but I am testing to see what will happen further. If the problem continues I may try with the 3.9 kernel. I uset the alsa-compile.sh script from alsa-project.org however it has a bug. On line 457 the script is trying to check if the current kernel source package (linux-source-3.2) is installed however the script is using: linux-source-$(uname --kernel-release | sed 's/-.*$//') to match against the kernel version. This will output: 3.2.N However in Debian the kernel source packege is: linux-source-3.2 or linux-source-3.9 so the pattern is 3.N. I changed the script to suit my needs locally - I actually hardcoded it to my package name and installed. I am trying to register with the ALSA project and report this bug but am unable to since I can't seem to find the answer to the captcha question... Anyway a correct sed regex in this case would be: uname --kernel-release | sed 's/.[0-9]-.*$//' in order to omit the last . (dot) and digit. Thanks for your help.

Hello to all. I am posting this to alsa-user and debian-user simultaneously, hope it is not a violation of the rules. It now seems that my original email to this newsgroup was not posted.

No idea if pulseaudio is using system groups (not familiar with pulseaudio), but I would check that your user is a member of group 'audio'. AFAIK this is still needed for plain alsa.

Thanks. I've tried but still no sound even I got no resource busy
error this time. Just to be sure I reboot into Windows and there was
sound so my audio card and the connection to the loudspeaker is
good.
Having recently run into this myself, try the following:
# speaker-test -t wav -c 2 -D hw:0,0
# speaker-test -t wav -c 2 -D hw:1,0
# speaker-test -t wav -c 2 -D hw:2,0
(You have three devices, but perhaps not all of them are (say) capable
of playing PCM sound. In my case, I had an analog and a digital
output and the wrong one was device 0).
If you get one of those to work, you can tell ALSA to use that device as
default by adding the following to /etc/asound.conf (assuming device 1
was the one that worked)
#8
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl !default {
type hw
card 1
}
#8
This should also (I think) route pulseaudio to the correct device, too.
Bye,
a

No sound on Wheezy
Hello! I am using a Wheezy 64 bit on a machine with integrated audio and ATI 5570 video card with HDMI (but I am using DVI-HDMI converter). Gnome audio find only HDMI audio which I cannot use because of converter. I search on Google find some solution and found how to disable HDMI audio. I add the following to the modprobe blacklist snd_hda_intel blacklist snd_hda_codec_hdmi Next start my system did not detect the HDMI audio and did not detect the internal audio as well so I have only Dummy Output for sound which is bad. I try to blacklist only the snd_hda_coded_hdmi but no success. What is the problem? I am using fglrx for video which was an another adventurous task to get work. lspci -v extract for audio: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
