I don't think the OP is using Debian, but if they are then they need to read:
https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
Don't make a FrankenDebian

Debian Stable should not be combined with other releases. If you're trying to install software that isn't available in the current Debian Stable release, it's not a good idea to add repositories for other Debian releases. The problems might not happen right away, but the next time you install updates.

The reason things can break is because the software packaged for one Debian release is built to be compatible with the rest of the software for that release. For example, installing packages from buster on a stretch system could also install newer versions of core libraries including libc6. This results in a system that is not testing or stable but a broken mix of the two.

Repositories that can create a FrankenDebian if used with Debian Stable:

Debian testing release (currently buster)
Debian unstable release (also known as sid)
Ubuntu, Mint or other derivative repositories are not compatible with Debian!
Ubuntu PPAs
So this is another FrankenDebian, and not Debian any more, maybe change the title to
" I was using Debian Stretch 9.4, but then I made a FrankenDebian "
What do I do now ? :mrgreen:
I did not cause this. I did not modify my machine so that I can have fancy stuff and mess around with linux capabilities like an expert. It was like this from the getgo. The volume problem i'm having. I don't think i'm going to get much help here. Seems like I am being pointed in another direction (blame, humor) so I have to go back to trying to figure it out on my own.

No, the errors show that APT is refusing to install packages so all the OP has to do is remove the offending lines from /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/whatever.list} and run `apt update` (as root).

You're not paying attention, or being purposefully difficult. There is /etc/apt/sources.list and a subdirectory /etc/apt/sources.list.d that has some other files in it that add to your sources. You added them either yourself, or some ubuntu thing you installed added them.

Everybody knows this because you posted "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu cosmic"

That is not a debian repo, nothing in debian would do that.

So just own up, what did you do to cause this?

p.s. check out the sample in /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list

Well, apt is having present difficulty for sure, but that does not mean something wasn't previously installed that might be the cause.

Yes I see files in that subdirectory. I didn't look in it. I wasn't paying attention to that extra .d

Do I delete them all? I don't remember adding any. I may have when I wasn't paying attention but I assure I had volume problems before this.

It's already frustrating as it is that i'm reaching out for assistance and people like you just want to have fun with it. Is this enlarging your ego? You feel like you're everyone's daddy telling them they need to pay attention and mocking them?

I just want to fix the problems, not cause anymore. If I made a mistake, help me fix it. Or go away.

Tell the truth, stop wasting honest people's time. I love linux, I see people all day trolling the forums. Get real. Have you tried a plain debian stable install without the ubuntu crap? Why didn't you tell people about your apt problem to begin with?

And wazzup with the large font bold face in your first post? pretty stylish, yo.

I KNOW the apt problem is not the source of my volume problem.
It's just font, get over it.

Okay, here's my advice:

On a clean debian stable install:
Confirm the volume is changed when headphone plugged in after purging pulseaudio

p.s. yea i'm your daddy

p.p.s.stillwaiting to find out what the ubuntu thing(s) you installed when you wasn't paying attention? might be in /var/log/apt/history.log

well since you're not getting paid to help, I can see why you enjoy trying to provoke reactions in others.

Proof: You'll respond to this.

Just reinstalled debian, and the same issue persists. I played a youtube video on firefox on a fresh startup, as soon as plugged in my speaker jack, the volume dropped down low after about 1 second. Same thing with headphones and anything audio related. I am not finding any solutions anywhere, let alone anyone else going through the same thing.

SOLVED

#34 Post by that1guy »

Ok mark this as solved.

command:

apt-get -t stretch-backports install linux-image-amd64

I discovered this by avoiding the old method of making my wifi work like I would during previous installments of debian by using many commands. All I had to do was update the one thing above, and I got my wifi working AND the volume reduction is gone. :lol: If others had this problem, there's the solution.

After install debian stretch 9, my wifi wouldn't work. So i'd find a work around forcing the firmware to be install through terminal.

Taken directly from another post in another forum:

If it has been added only starting from the 4.14 kernel (and not backported), then Debian 9's 4.9 kernel is not good enough (indeed there's no CONFIG_R8822BE option enabled in Debian 4.9.0-8-amd64 kernel when looking in the config file).

You already got the package having the firmware from stretch-backports, but that's not enough: you must also add the stretch-backports repository and get the newer kernel from it, which will make use of the firmware.

In an non chicken-and-eggs problem that would be, once set up after following previously linked instructions:

apt-get -t stretch-backports install linux-image-amd64

So please edit your OP's title to reflect its solved status. While you're at it, could you tell us what audio hardware you have?

Code: Select all

inxi -A

Somehow I'm not surprised it's Intel audio. inxi can come in very useful.
