Re: Getting Sound working in BL

You have kernel driver oss_hdaudio driving your sound card. That should be snd_hda_intel.
PLease post output of:

sudo apt-get install alsa-utils pulseaudio

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

sudo apt-get install alsa-utils pulseaudio

alsa-utils is already the newest version.
pulseaudio is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

So, alsa/pulse is just setup incorrectly?

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

All  the necessary packages seem to be there.
Yet, the wrong driver is/was loaded.
I suppose you can't give us a list of exactly what commands tou used to try and resolve the situation.

Try rebooting and see if you still have that oss_hdaudio driver loaded.

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

No, sorry. I have no idea. But I'm a total newbie to anything not Windows/Mac, so I definitely did it by way of Synapse or apt-get. Both of which, as far as I understand are relatively responsible in terms of what they put in/take out.

I just restarted though, and the system seems to be aware that something is up with the audio. It said something like "oss_hdaudio codec not known yet".

Is there not just some file somewhere where I can just change oss_hdaudio to snd_hda_intel?

Also, when I open up pulseaudio, the only available device is dummy output...

Super strange.

EDIT: Is there maybe a way to uninstall all of the drivers and stuff and then re-install them?

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

The system should be detecting the correct driver for your sound card automatically.

If it does not do this, several things may cause this:

1. The correct driver has been blacklisted (by what you did earlier)
2. the automatic detection fails because your card is too new (BL is based on Debian stable branch, which is not always up-to-date with new hardware being introduced)
3. etc ...

Can you capture the output of command

dmesg 

in a file, post it on a pastebin site and post the link to it here?

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

Ok here's the pastebin:

http://pastebin.com/VAWDX4d2

And here's the bit relating to the audio driver:

[   10.233429] oss_hdaudio: HDA codec 0x10ec0269 not known yet
[   10.242405] oss_hdaudio: HDA codec 0x80862806 not known yet
[   10.245004] oss_hdaudio: HDA codec 0x10ec0269 not known yet
[   10.245455] oss_hdaudio: HDA codec 0x80862806 not known yet

It was highlighted in red, really hard to overlook

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

When you boot from the live image, do you have
/proc/asound/cards
?

If yes, show content of the file please.

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

You could also try installing a more recent kernel version from the backports repo:
See this post for a HOWTO

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

cards content:

 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xc0600000 irq 10

Even better is that the audio worked fine when I played a youtube video...

I think I just need to reinstall and deliberately avoid changing things.

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

Hello!
in my case, the sound keeps popping out fromt he HDMI port that is disconnected. how do I convince BL to sing from the motherboard audio out? everything worked until I installed the MAME... I've followed the guide and my ouput is the analog out, yet the sound is going out through the hdmi port. weird!
A brief look in pavucontrol shows me that audio is played but on the wrong exit - I have a tab with baconsizzling.com opened, but as for now no relaxing sound is being played...

EDIT:
I hit random buttons on Pavucontrol. it works now. lol.

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

Hi, I'm having some issues finding that volti config file.
I have not used Linux that much so bare with me.

~/.config/volti/config
^I'm not sure what this means, is it my home dir?
I tried looking in home, opened as root but I find nothing.
I also checked in /usr/share/bunsen/skel

My output:

lspci | grep Audio:
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)

lsmod:
soundcore              13026  2 snd,snd_hda_codec

lspci -k|grep -A2 Audio:
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
	Subsystem: Packard Bell B.V. Device c023
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

Thanks

Yes, the "~" symbol is shorthand for your current user's home directory.

I tried looking in home, opened as root but I find nothing.

~/.config is a so-called "hidden" folder -- these have their names prepended with a dot (".") and will not be visible in thunar (the BunsenLabs file manager) or in the output of `ls` in a terminal.

To view them, press <Ctrl>+h in thunar or run `ls -a` in a shell.

00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)

If you still have no sound after following the guide linked by @hhh then perhaps try this:

Re: Getting Sound working in BL

Just for the record: If you have microphone issues and a  Conexant CX20585, try the following (obviously make sure it's enabled in BIOS).
Put this line:

 options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad 

In a file created with the following name:

 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf 

This was the problem on my neighbours notebook (found this solution here:)  https://askubuntu.com/questions/163729/ … g-in-skype
