Debian Squeeze: No Sound
Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
I discovered this thread after installing Squeeze. Guess what - no sound.
alant@stormy:~$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller
I was also having other troubles, like Iceweasel crashing at the drop of a hat. I realised that I had LOTS of configuration files left over from other installs (I keep /home on a separate partitition). I previously used Lenny, then tried the new Ubuntu for a few days (shame!) and yesterday installed Squeeze.
I went through and deleted every dot file that I wasn't sure about. If I wasn't entirely certain I moved the dot file out of the way (eg, .mozilla -> .mozilla.old). Reboot. Of couse all my personalised settings were gone, but I had sound.
Hope this helps somebody.
Cheers,

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
For me almost everything the same, solution little bit different:
I downloaded the ALSA driver from the website. Compiled it. Ran
, choosed the first option when it asked me Intel or legacy. And that was it.
Hope will also work for others. (The compling process needs its time, so don't worry.)

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
Hi,
yesterday I have upgraded my squeeze. After reboot the sound dont' work and the KDE notification inform me that HDA Intel don't work
The last year I have added PSCP to blacklist because it generate a terrible rustle
If I deleted this entry the HDA Intel work but it generate (pscp) a terrible rustle.
What can I do?
many thanks to all!

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
I had this problem and tracked it down to squeeze not assigning my sound card device 0. Instead, the HDMI device was being set to default.
The .asoundrc below solves this problem. However, I haven't been able to get mixing to work which means only one app can access the sound card at a time. However, all the apps work individually including flash. You need to run cat /proc/asound/cards to find out the card identifier you want.
I hope this helps some people. If someone knows how to get mixing to work, chime in.

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
EDIT: I had made a question whose answer I saw after reading minimally carefully the previous post, but the rest of the post may provide some clues for these sound issues, from my experiences, even though it's not promising at all.[/b]
By the way, the issue I'm having is somewhat different, but probably related, I guess. I'll make a brief resume, perhaps it helps, who knows. Back in February I would have sound only every now and then -- I had a trial boot for a short while (win, debian, ubuntu), and I've found that if I rebooted directly from windows to linux (debian) I would have no sound, but if instead I turned the PC of for an instant, I'd have sound, albeit with no "universal" volume controls (alsamixer and its backends like kmix and etc), only on programs like mplayer and vlc. On ubuntu, however, the sound would work normally, if I recall correctly. But as I've searched a bit more today, apparently there are odd cases like just the gnome startup sounds working and nothing else -- but it may be a misunderstanding due to a cursorial reading.
I may have a somewhat "special" case, though, I had the impression that my sound card (VIA VT1708B, "Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller") is specially troublesome on linux.
When I do lsmod, there are quite a few sound related things appearing in a way that I think it's correct:
Just today I've found about a specific config file (another one) that may be helpful, but again, I'm not yet sure on what to put there. The file is /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, which I think is basically just a bunch of modprobes and some options. Some people on ubuntu forums have found that, for hda-intel at least, by putting the right settings on this file, they get everything working properly. It's all on the topic snd_hda_intel options database.
It's basically adding a line "options snd-hda-intel model=<model name>" on alsa-base.conf. They have a list of what you have to put there for a list of various boards, and there are some few options as well (whatever they might do).
For me, however, I couldn't find my one on the lists, the closest thing has been this site:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=caecf ... 211636a5cf#
I've found it googling for my motherboard (G31T-M7)and alsaconf or alsa. There is a part of the file that hints about alsa-base.conf-like options, but nothing blatantly clear on what I could use:
I've made some change in this file somewhere (I keep forgetting to do backups or comments on configuration files), and everything remains the same, except for the error message I get from alsamixer. It used to be "amixer: Mixer hw:0 load error: Invalid argument", now it is "cannot open mixer: No such device". I'm not sure about the error messages that appeared during the boot though, I guess they'd remain the same, but I can't find them on dmesg's output right now.
Well, that's all folks. I hope that there's at least some "clue" on what I've said.

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
Short piece of information. Curious, albeit it probably won't light a bulb over anyone's head, but just in case it does... my deleted question was on what to use for that .asoundrc file on the identifier. Without that, alsamixer would return the error message, "cannot open mixer: No such device". Now, with the file, and HDA-Intel as the identifier (which still does not fix everything, in fact, I lose sound on youtube, even though it remains on MPD/MPC), the error message is "cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument". Sort of a mix between the two previous error messages.
Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
I have recently reinstalled Squeeze on my laptop.
Now and again, my sound disappears. I solve the issue with 'alsactl init'.
I get the error message, but my sound starts again nonetheless.

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
I have one of these Intel ICH6 sound cards. I was following this tutorial [0] to configure sound in Squeeze. It didn't work like most people has been complaining here. So I had to run "alsactl init" as root before running alsamixer and then everything worked fine

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
Got the same problem with no sound on my new Acer notebook. Some solutions from this thread were too complicated for me, others didn`t work exept the one - do as root in console alsactl init, and after that sound is ok. But I din't want to do that after every power off. So I put the string (alsactl init) in /etc/rc.local. It works for me. And maybe this is the less complicated way to get the thing done not just for me. At least no need to recompile anything.
I hope I will put that line out of my /etc/rc.local after next ALSA update...
Peace.

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
I had no sound when I initially installed Squeeze. The sound hardware was not detected and I think the problem was missing firmware.
I compiled the kernel from source with the config-2.6.32-5-amd64 that came in linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64. After I installed the two resulting packages (linux-image-2.6.32 and linux-firmware-2.6.32) the sound worked fine. It dawned on me that there were two packages as opposed to one in previous versions. I purged those packages and reinstalled the stock image and firmware-linux.
It's possible that the sound is still working because the packages I installed were not fully purged. Someone please confirm that installing firmware-linux solves this issue. Note that if you excluded non-free packages when configuring your package sources, your hardware may still not work if it requires non-free firmware. [Debian splits the firmware into two packages (firmware-linux-free and firmware-linux-nonfree)]

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
I had no sound until I enabled one of the audio channels, the 'analog/digital output jack.' I had to check a box. Might not help but I would check that. However, if you have compiled and added/removed stuff, it might not apply now.
Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
Hi guys, I sadly mst say none of the solutions given worked for me.
My on board sound chip is broken, so I installed a USB sound card, which I prefer not to change.
The USB sound card is listed in alsamixer, Gnome mixer, and wherever it may be, for I am certain the system knows about it.
I still cannot hear any sound, and my alsamixer's PCM volume meter is set at its maximum of -0.06. THIS is odd in the first place.
Let's take a look at the outputs:
UPDATE: I got my sound working after installing caps, but flashplayer is the only one getting it done, in google-chrome.
Sound card still selectable and adjustable from volume control applet, but no other output.

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
The problem is that your USB audio is the second sound card and most software will default to the first unless you fiddle.
Simplest solution is to go into you BIOS and disable the onboard sound, so that there is only one sound card in the system
Your onboard sound should work however .......
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Intel8x0
Always install Gnome-Alsamixer, many problems can be solved simply by systematically muting and unmuting all the parts of the system. Digital out is always a prime offender.
good luck

So actually gnome provides to set the default audio sink through the gstreamer-properties (which was/is (?) usually located under System>>Preferences>>Multimedia but is not there in Squeeze. You can call it from the command line.

Re: Debian Squeeze: No Sound
Thank you @mosesx for the tip!
It worked well for me.
The problem I have now is with the concurrent access to sound card. It seems I can't have two audio outputs at the same time. And it is quite annoying.
I found somewhere a post about concurrency and /dev/dsp, I willl return and post if something goes well.
Do this problem applies for you, too?

Yep. It's weird however, everything worked fine under Lenny. I would say it's not the right audiosink yet.

http://ptspts.blogspot.com/2009/03/how- ... -have.html
The first two paragraphs did it for me:
Use
Code: Select all
aplay -l | awk '/^card/{print$3}'|sort|uniq
in a terminal to find out the name of your usb sound device. As I realized this hw:1,0, or better the number assigned to the sound card can change from reboot to reboot but the name does not.
Than for global setting put
Code: Select all
defaults.pcm.!card Headset
defaults.ctl.!card Headset
defaults.pcm.!device 0
defaults.ctl.!device 0
Than I reverted the changes in gconf and set all keys containing audiosink to autodetect. And you have to restart alsa by
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
Now all gnome programs use the usb and mixing works. Hope that helps.
Short and useless general complain: Why is there now way to set the default soundcard via gnome-sound-properties as it used to be?
