Sound does not work after 10.04 and alsa upgrade

Asked by Denis Fertin

After upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 sound did not worked. I have reinstalled alsa and pulseaudio from package repository after complete removal ... still does not work.
I followed the advice of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure and here I am pasting the result of the script.
Effectively there are strange message in the dmesg outputs.
I followed all the steps of the process.

Step 3:

Your ALSA output shows the following issue.

The following channels are MUTED or set to 0% volume:

Simple mixer control 'Master Mono',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Mono: Playback 31 [100%] [0.00dB] [off]

Simple mixer control 'Mix',0
  Capabilities: cswitch cswitch-exclusive penum
  Capture exclusive group: 0
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Front Left: Capture [off]
  Front Right: Capture [off]
Simple mixer control 'Mix Mono',0
  Capabilities: cswitch cswitch-exclusive penum
  Capture exclusive group: 0
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Front Left: Capture [off]
  Front Right: Capture [off]
Simple mixer control 'Channel Mode',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: '2ch' '4ch' '6ch'
  Item0: '6ch'
Simple mixer control 'Downmix',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: 'Off' '6 -> 4' '6 -> 2'
  Item0: 'Off'
Simple mixer control 'Exchange Front/Surround',0
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [off]

Please install gnome-alsamixer and use it to increase and UNMUTE the volume for the channels I mentioned....

I also suggest experimenting with different settings for the 'channel mode', 'downmix' and 'exchange front/surround' channels.

This sound output issue is pretty similar to the following bugreport:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/621970

That is why I still recommend experimenting with the ALSA mixer channels that I mentioned above...

My problem has nothing to do with muted channel. Even if this could appear from the log. I have installed gnome alsa mixer since a while and try to tweaked it.

The sound started to work after erratic manipulation. I have no real clue why ...

I shutdown and booted up the day after ... the sound was not working (in skype, in rythmbox) ...
I opened gnome-alsa-mixer pulse audio and tweak here and there no sound ...

Then I went to see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
and typed aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav and got a cryptic message including "...setting sample rate ..." and suddenly it worked.

I will try to reboot and see what happens.
I cannot say for sure whether it is working or not.
But definitely, it seems there is a problem of setting the sample rate!

I manage to have a repeatable behaviour:

1/ When I boot up, I can hear the ubuntu system sound

2/ When I launch Rythmbox, I cannot hear my music (note that my MP3 files are still stored in the windows XP partition)

3/ I open a terminal and type the foloowing:

$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

... and it works

therefore I have a workaround (not sure my wif will be able to manage this though ...)
