Hello all!

I lost my sound today and after i read this thread i tried to fix it, but with no luck. Maybe my bad english or that i am not well known with linux yet. I apologize!

show_notify = 0

If i understand well, the card_index = 0, need to be the same number with device number. Both, are (0)
Now testing the command volti &, i got this output.

muttley@black:~$ volti &

muttley@black:~$ Only one instance is allowed

What am i missing?

So what did you try from that HowTo? Is "Master" muted?

`volti` is already running, so do

killall volti && volti &

Muttley Black · 2015-11-24 16:51:46

I got "Master" muted every time i plug or un-plug headphones. But i can unmuted manually. The problem is that there is no sound no matter what.

killall volti && volti &

This command, Kill volti and refresh it but when i exit terminal i lost icon from tint2. And still no sound.

There should be an icon there if volti was started. (Did you use "&" at the end of the command?) Try again, then post the output of

killall volti && volti &
pgrep -a volti

Muttley Black · 2015-11-24 17:41:47

Yes i use "&" at the end of the command.

The output

muttley@black:~$ killall volti && volti &
[1] 4353
muttley@black:~$ pgrep -a voltivolti: no process found

Maybe to restart my laptop to see if volti saw up?

Describe *everything* that you have done to your system since installation -- leave nothing out.

Have you read the "Don't Break BunsenLabs" link in my signature?

Probably best to read it now if you haven't.

Please also post the full output of:

speaker-test -c0 -l1

Muttley Black · 2015-11-26 08:54:55

Hello.

I didn't do anything special since installation. Only update and thats all. I am gonna read the "Don't Break BunsenLabs"!

The output:

muttley@black:~$ speaker-test -c0 -l1

Muttley Black I had the same problem but solved it by running: "sudo alsactl init" in terminal, i hope it solves your problem as well!

^ This is a good idea smile

@OP: Make sure your output devices are un-muted and set to a non-zero volume level.

From the `speaker-test` output, it looks like your audio system is working just fine.

EDIT: Load up the BunsenLabs ISO and see if your sound works in the live environment -- if it doesn't, your sound card is probably broken or disconnected.

With "sudo alsactl init" I got my sound back! smile

But: If i plug my headphones i lost sound again. Master auto-muted and i dont have sound. Even if i unmuted and unplug headphones.

Need to run "sudo alsactl init" again to get back sound.

So... i can have sound only with my headphones pluged or with no headphones. tongue
I can't have both options work.

Thank you! It seems I'm not the only one with this issue. First the sound was working fine, but after some updates and upgrades something must have happened. Once I noticed that the sound icon got messed up a bit. Speaker test delivered ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16, Device or resource busy. Now it is working again.

martix · 2016-05-02 17:28:35

After the last upgrade I had an issue with my headphones as it stopped working. Same machine, same headphones, different distro delivered no problems. It turned out that I had to do "sudo alsactl init" again and after that it started working.
