continue to ponder pavucontrol and now udev. my clean install ubuntu 20 lts did not find my built-in audio so i have posted to the bug site hoping you will have previously sorted this. i am guessing udev is not finding sound setup, did not correctly populate alsa and is currently not correctly populating pavucontrol setttings.
i do not want to start editing conf files using pacmd. really wanted a strategy that would automatically repopulate the settings. i am just experienced enough to brick this install...a bad thing. i realize you are sorting out issues for the greater population. ubuntu 20 lts is almost completely functional. i can manually configure gui pavucontrol on each start and go on with life. i have a week's worth of data and config under my belt and do not intend to restore my clone or investigate other flavors linux. the previous 4 years of ubuntu 16 lts was not without its quirks...and the decades of windoze, mac and even in late 80's an ibm pc. i no longer have to deal with vertical market software for the architctural industry and have fully converted all my office apps to libreoffice. i don't want to be a weiner...i am a greyhair, retired and just tired of messing with confusers. hope my comments are useful as you continue to develop ubuntu 20lts. now for something completely different: national lampoon magazine from 1971 subscription ads "you may already be a weiner" and "buy this magazine or we will shoot the dog" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1898072 Title: no sound Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: no sound issue 4 years using ubuntu 16.04. weekend 9.26.20 clean install ubuntu 20.04.01. planned 3 days install. day one clone and full ext hd backup all files. day two clean install, paste files and use clean system. all mostly works but no sound from prior working setup. day 3 troubleshoot sound, install new versions of apps from prior working system. seems no sound is a very common issue. ubuntu/settings/sound not showing my outup options, being locked to an hdmi ouput was baffling and i considered restoring my clone except for the 2 days of sucessfully transferring my files. i am satisfied the system is functional for my core uses so i will continue to try to work this sound issue. politely asking for advice from community. no shouting here and i do appreciate help. the following is my no sound experience on day 3 of clean install: ubuntu/settings/audio. only showed hdmi output device, everything else blank. online advice to search devices lspci: found my sound card 00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) tried online advice: search pci devices kill alsa, reinstall kill pulseaudio, reinstall alsamixer: turned up/on everything, finally speaker feeback for alsamixer loopback setting so i knew sound was capable of something. pulseaudio, tried every random setting. finally the setting "analog surround 4.1 ouput + analog stereo input (unplugged) (unavailable)" setting worked normally thru my audio jacks. now pulseaudio does not save these settings thru shutdown. whaaa? relief! baffled. reluctant to touch anything else because it works...so far. went thru pulseaudio settings files, seems almost all options are commented out. i pasted these files at end this message. alsa mixer keeps settings. ubuntu/settings/audio still only shows hdmi output device, everything else blank. now i am considering online advice to kill and reset all pulseaudio. Reset PulseAudio If the system is not playing audio, first try reseting the pulseaudio daemon: systemctl --user restart pulseaudio Applications may need to be restarted. If this fails then try removing the user configuration files for PulseAudio: rm -r ~/.config/pulse Then, kill all instances of PulseAudio: pulseaudio -k When PulseAudio starts again (which it should do automatically), it will create new configuration files. https://support.system76.com/articles/audio/ sound output works if i manually reset pulseaudio after start. i am not confident to blast away or edit conf or daemon files. i would like working pulseaudio settings to survive restart and i would prefer ubuntu/settings/audio reflect actual settings. thanks in advance for suggestions/comments. following are existing pulseaudio files: ******************************** william@william-Studio-XPS-7100:/etc/pulse$ tree . ├── client.conf ├── client.conf.d │ └── 01-enable-autospawn.conf -> /run/pulseaudio-enable-autospawn ├── daemon.conf ├── default.pa └── system.pa ******************************** This file is part of PulseAudio. # # PulseAudio is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # PulseAudio is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
