no sound with ubuntu 7.1

Maybe the following thread in ubuntuforums may help you:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449

The first post of this thread is a guide of solving sound issues, and many others that follow have also included some other helpful tips.

Hope this will help you to find a workaround.

Hi Bixejo:
 I have tried this four times and get sound until I reboot. then it is dead
again.

*Getting the ALSA drivers from a *fresh* kernel*

Sometimes, sound might be configured correctly, but for some reason or
another (tinkering) it stops working. One way to go back to the old setup is
to reinstall *Ubuntu*. However, this step is actually quite unnecessary
since you are reinstalling everything because of one thing.

A faster way, is to just remove the problematic packages and reinstall them
cleanly.

(1) Remove these packages Code:

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils

(2) Reinstall those same packages
 Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils

[list][*] *VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: *Ubuntu (GNOME) users have reported that
packages 'gdm' and 'ubuntu-desktop' are removed after removing the
linux-sound-base packages. If this happens, then do the following
 Code:

sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop

Strange... could you please post the output you get to the following command when both you get sound and when you don't?

lsmod | egrep "snd|sound|audio"

You may copy the whole previous line and paste it directly to the terminal.

Seems you have 2 audio cards, using BIOS setting please disable the motherboard card.

Hope this helps

Hi Marcobra:
 The VIA8235 is the south bridge chip set. I do not know how to disable it
in the BIOS and would it not effect all other functions of the south bridge?
It works fine in Win XP. Is there no way to make my Sound Blaster card the
default with Ubuntu?

I have found that if my speakers are connected to the sound card output, Totem MP,my CDs will play.
 If I connect the speakers to the mother board output, the system sounds will play. Still have a conflict between the VIA 8325 (mother board chip) and the SB live PCI card.

OK, post now the output you get to the command I told you when you do get sound, and also the output for aplay -l at that moment (could be slightly different from the one you posted in your starting post, probably the "VIA 8235" may vary a bit.)

Looks like you're indeed getting a conflict between two different audio cards. Once you decide which one you want to use, you may configure the audio driver to use that one, just by following the method from ubuntuforums whose link I posted in my first reply.

Sorry, I see now that you posted the first part I was asking for in my previous post. Do post the second one, please.

Hmmm... Try the following: go to

System --> Preferences --> Sound

You will see a window in which you may select the output audio device for "sound events", "music and video", and "sound conference" (or something like that, I'm guessing just trying to translate what I see in my own window which shows text in Spanish.) Normally, these three options are set to "Autodetect" (or similar.) Try to change them and do make tests with the "Test" (or similar) button you will find at the right side of each one of these combo selectors until you get all test sounds (a rather nasty beep noise) through your desired output device.

Probably, each one "autodetects" a different output device, and that could be the origin of your problems.

Good luck,

--Bixejo

Hi Bixejo:
 Thanks for all your time. I have tried all the combinations on the Devices
Tab. Multichannel playback & ADC Capture/standard PCM playback are the only
ones that will give me a test sound. The Multichannel Playback gives the
best sound . None of them will give me test on the Sound Tab for System
sounds.
 I have SB Live selected as the Default Mixer Tracks. VIA 8235 & c- Media
will also give test sounds on the Devices tab but not on system sounds.
 Lets give this up for today. I NEED A DRINK.

Hi bixejo:
Success!!!
 This morning ( after several drinks last night) ,I pulled up the
Multimeter Systems Selector. On the Default Output :
 Plugin=ALSA
Device =Default
  Default input
  Plugin= Test sound
 When I rechecked Sound Preferences / Sound playback =ALSA
It was not listed before.
In some of the things I tried yesterday, I downloaded ALS MIXER. That may
have helped .
After rebooting I still have all the sounds.
Thanks again for all your time and effort.

Problem Solved:
 gstreamer-prperties =Multimeter Sysems Selector
Default Output
  plugin=ALSA
  device=Default
Default Input
  plugin=test sound
After rebooting ,all my sounds are normal now.
THANKS

Hi Peter:
 Thanks for the input. My problem was solved by changing the Default Output
Plugin to ALSA on the Multimeter Systems Selector

Hi Mac,

Great that your problems got finally solved. Now I'm the one who's going to have a drink to celebrate it.

Congratulations,

--Bixejo

Hi bixejo:
 Don't celebrate too much, the system sounds are gone again.

So I haven't ever heard anything similar to this... You got the problem solved, even after rebooting, and how no sound at all again??

Who knows what's happening into your system... Devil's in the details...

--Bixejo

Hi bixejo:
 Beats hell out of me. This morning there was not system sound again. I
went back to gstreamer-properties and set it up like before and still no
system sound.
 I have a copy of PC LINUX OS. I may give Ubuntu a rest and see how this
works. Thanks again for your time and help.
