No sound from speakers (OK through headphones)

#1 Post by littlebigman »

Hello

I'm running LXDE Debian 8.7 on an Asus 1001PXD notebook.

Sound plays fine through headphones but I get no sound through the built-in speakers. Google didn't help so far, and am reluctant to try things for other distros in case I make things worse.

Here's some infos:

Code: Select all

Alsa Mixer just says "Card: PulseAudio" and "Chip: PulseAudio". There are no menus I could open.

# cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0xf7cf8000 irq 44
                      
# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1

Any idea what I could try?

Thank you.

Edit: Posts on the net seem to say that the issue could come from the fact that this audio chip is incorrectly reported as from Intel while it's actually from Realtek:

Code: Select all

# head -n 1 /proc/asound/card*/codec#*

Codec: Realtek ALC269VB
I also tried creating a .asoundrc file, but still no sound:

Code: Select all

# aplay -L
…
front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
    HDA Intel, ALC269VB Analog
    Front speakers

# echo 'pcm.!default front:Intel' > ~/.asoundrc

# aplay ./acme.mp3
Playing raw data './acme.mp3' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
aplay: set_params:1233: Sample format non available
Available formats:
- S16_LE
- S32_LE

Seem alsa-XXX package is not powerful for multi-sound case
Maybe you can try uninstall alsa-XXX package then install "pavucontrol" to replace it
I'm sorry for my bad English skills
I'm don't want to be a nuisance.

Have you tried alsamixer? Maybe the speakers (or another channel) are muted?
