No sound from speakers.
Hi,
I have no sound from my speakers after installing debian 9 on a lenovo x220. I can only get sound through my headphones.
I have read a lot of similar problems with advice to editing the /etc/modprobe.d/alsabase.conf file, but I dont have one.
Im not even sure if alsa is controlling sound or its pulseaudio, very confused.
It seems that the soundcard is detected and the correct module loaded but i'm not sure.
The output of aplay -l is :
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: CX20590 Analog [CX20590 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0 is the correct device but I just have no idea how to solve this.

Is PusleAudio installed?absconditus wrote:Im not even sure if alsa is controlling sound or its pulseaudio, very confused.
Code: Select all

pgrep -a pulseaudio

But it sounds like you already have an analogue output (via the headphones) so can we please see the output of

Re: No sound from speakers.
Simplest possible approach, open alsamixer in a terminal. You will probably see only one control, master volume for PulseAudio, so hit (IIRC) F6 to select sound card and select HDA Intel. I suspect you'll find the speaker output muted or set to zero (if you see "MM" at the base of the slider it's muted. <M> key enables it). PA is much more sophisticated than straight ALSA but it can be a pain to get configured just right.

Thanks for the link but it appears my sound is being detected, and I do have sound through the headphones only.Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Possible solution from the error message:

Re: No sound from speakers.
^ That looks fine (although it would be easier to read had you used code tags), install and run pavucontrol and see if you can make things work from the GUI.

Re: No sound from speakers.
Apologies, Ill have to have a read on code tags.
pavucontrol all looks fine, speakers 100%, config tab "built in audio" and profile "analogue stero output"
