Ubuntu
alsa-driver package

as per others - no sound after upgrading, but existing solutions dont work

Asked by rob_s

well, 9.10 isnt doing too well on my dell inspiron (jaunty was far from perfect, but still)

after upgrading via the manager the sound has gone, although it works with iplayer via firefox plugin...iplayer didnt even work with firefox 3.0, so it is almost a step in the right direction lol

http://pastebin.ca/1651737 holds the driver details - its all the same version & recognises koala, any suggestions most welcome

As to some other problems, I dont suppose anyone has got the inspiron nvidia working without crashing the system have they? getting a bit fed up with the poor colour quality of the built in driver

Thanks all

This might be the problem:

# Simple mixer control 'Master',0
# Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
# Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
# Limits: Playback 0 - 31
# Mono:
# Front Left: Playback 13 [42%] [-27.00dB] [on]
# Front Right: Playback 13 [42%] [-27.00dB] [on]
# Simple mixer control 'Master Mono',0
# Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined
# Playback channels: Mono
# Limits: Playback 0 - 31
# Mono: Playback 0 [0%] [-46.50dB] [off]

Please increase Master volume to 100%

And please unmute the Master Mono channel and increase that volume to 100% as well.

Hi Mark

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that and messed around with the alsamixer settings, but it made no difference. The weird thing was iplayer was working, but nothing else was.
Well, I have now been ****ing around for over an hour, lost the sound card (which refuses to reinstall) so am further back than when I started!
Just backing up my pics and am going to have a crack at a fresh & full 9.10 install...

A clean install is a good idea, indeed.

Can you help with this problem?
