** Summary changed: - No sound output on Ubuntu 6.06 + not-a-bug------No sound output on Ubuntu 6.06
** Description changed: + Never mind, this is not an Ubuntu issue. It was a hardware + misconfiguration. + + http://cialug.org/pipermail/cialug/2006-December/006775.html + + + + + + + + I'm running a computer with a Soyo K7VME motherboard. The onboard sound is handled by a VIA V82xx device. According to everything I've seen, the system is set up correctly. I followed the instructions at RestrictedFormats[1] to allow my fresh install of 6.06 to play MP3s, but this didn't work. Programs can play mp3s now, but I'm not hearing any output. I know the speakers work, I just tested them by plugging them into my iPod. Audio-out worked Back In The Day when this computer was running Windows XP, so I don't think the hardware is damaged in any way. I set out to follow the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide[2]. It hasn't really helped. 1. Go to a shell and type: aplay -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aplay -l card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 0: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235] Subdevices: 4/4 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 Subdevice #3: subdevice #3 card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 1: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 2. Type this into the shell: lspci -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci -v | grep -A5 Audio 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) Subsystem: Unknown device a723:10fd Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 185 I/O ports at e000 [size=256] Capabilities: <available only to root> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 4. Now go back to the shell and type sudo modprobe snd-... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsmod | grep ^snd_via snd_via82xx 28824 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ the module was already loaded automatically at boot. I checked alsamixer, none of the outputs are muted. I hear no output playing an mp3 in Movie Player, Rhythmbox, gxine or mpg123. Clicking the "Test" button in gstreamer-properties for each of the audio output options produces no output. and so, even though this is a fresh install, I re-install the audio [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils ... [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop and reboot. and still no sound. someone at CIALUG suggests[3] blacklisting the snd-via82xx-modem module. So I made my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep -v ^# /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem blacklist snd-via82xx-modem [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ And rebooted. No effect. This was originally submitted at the Ubuntu forums[4], but recieved little (as of this writing, no) attention. Matthew Nuzum suggested[5] I file this as a bug here.
