dear Mike,
thank you for your reply!
obviously i was no clear enough in stating, that i have been using jack
for years together with pulse tied to it. And it went fine for years.
And i cannot do without, as e. g. audacity by far does not do the job
for me, and i am a happy user of e. g. ardour 3 for quite a while yet.
So please believe that what i was trying to describe is something i am
experienced in. As you hint to as well, i cannot understand why the
thing is broken now suddenly.
Obviously i am left clueless by something which reasonably *should*
work. So please help me by hinting to configuration files or the like,
where something might be needed to be changed.
Which is why i told about the strangeness observed within alsamixer output.
Any ideas somebody?
Yours, Arno

Betreff: no sound at all after switch to ubuntustudio

dear list,
can you please help me? I can hear no sound on my machine.
I had previously "normal" Ubuntu installed, and everything worked.
Now i have installed ubuntustudio from synaptic along with lots of audio
applications.
Since i rebooted and logged in into ubuntustudio, i can hear no sound.
No matter whether i want to play from normal applications like chrome,
or specialist applications like ardour3, nothing.
There is the pulseaudio-jack module installed.
When i am playing e. g. something via mplayer -ao pulse, i can see that
the volume indicator shown in pulseaudio's volume control application
does move as it should in both the application’s tab showing mplayer is
"sending" and the device tab, showing the pulseaudio-jack sink's volume
moving.
In qjackctl the pulseaudio sink is wired to the system as it should too.
i am running on a fujitsu s792 lifebook.
jack is connecting (alsa) to hw(0,0), which is named ALC269VB Analog
under the (only) HDA Intel device which is what i have on the mainboard
of my notebook.
I cannot play either via mplayer -ao alsa, or -ao jack, or -ao oss. All
other applications i could find failed to play either.
Mplayer does not throw an error message or other hint that something
might go wrong.
When booting into windows, everything is fine, so the hardware does work.
Do you have any idea what might go wrong, or where i would need to
investigate the case?
The only "suspicious" thing i can find is that when launching alsamixer,
it only shows one "master" track.
Pressing F6 shows a list with 2 devices, one "- (default)", the second
"0 HDA Intel PCH". So maybe somewhere is an empty thing defaulted? If i
switch alsamixer to the second entry, i see the usual dozen of "tracks",
although i did not find a possibility of unmuting or the like there to
change my situation.
Any ideas? I would be more than grateful for any hints!
Yours, Arno
if you havent used JACK before, its probably just a matter of not
having any experience with the tools. if you are not planning on using
JACK, i would just go back to xubuntu, but, basically, they are all
ubuntu. ubuntustudio *is* ubuntu, so if you are using the same kernel
(which you likely are, even if you installed the lowlatency one, if
you didnt do anything to select and boot it). the main difference is
likely this simple... you are clicking on applications (such as
ardour) that try and start JACK. JACK gets started, and basically
takes over your audio (as it is supposed to do).. you then have no way
of going back to using the system normally with pulse, since you have
just started using JACK, and are likely not configuring it properly
(if at all)...
i would first relax, and ask yourself if you are in need of JACK. if
the answer is "no", then, dont use it. if you want to casually edit
some audio files, you can do that with audacity from inside *any*
major operating system, such as stock xubuntu without adding the
ubuntustudio packages. if you need JACK then, you would want to start
from a fresh boot, and open "qjackctl" and start configuring that GUI
tool to start JACK. you would select your audio device and click
"start" and troubleshoot any errors that come up for you in the window
there.

cheers!
