sdf22, I do not have an audigy card. … But so many audigy card users have had trouble with their mixer, I can not help but think you need to look closer at your mixer settings. Now I note this from the amixer output that I asked you to run:
Are you deliberately using the SPDIF/Optical pass thru? If so, then OK. But if not, then should you not have Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack equal OFF, and have External Amplifier equal ON ?
We need an audigy user to chime in here, as I can only speculate and wonder, not having your hardware.
I can test with more speakers, but my headphones are working fine… with my other pc-s…
External Amplifier, does nothing if i turn it on/off… if Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack is off i can’t hear anything… i can only hear anything when Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack is on.
OK, then that means (I believe) that you are using SPDIF/Optical Passthru ? Which I think means digital audio ? Digital audio is also referred to as IEC958. Hence I am puzzled by this:
Simple mixer control ‘IEC958 Optical’,0
Capabilities: pvolume cvolume
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 100 Capture 0 - 100
Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] -99999.99dB] Capture 0 [0%] -99999.99dB]
Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] -99999.99dB] Capture 0 [0%] -99999.99dB]
Simple mixer control ‘IEC958 Optical Raw’,0
Capabilities: pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Mono:
Front Left: Playback [off]
Front Right: Playback [off]
In addition to those, you also have several other controls to which (with my NOT having the hardware) I do not know what they do … such as Simple mixer control ‘Aux’,0 (at Capture 0 [0%] -34.50dB] [off] ) and Simple mixer control ‘Aux2’,0 (at Playback 0 [0%] -99999.99dB] Capture 0 [0%] ) Simple mixer control ‘Analog Mix’,0 (at Playback 0 [0%] -99999.99dB] Capture 0 [0%] ) .
Have you very carefully checked out if any of those could be causing muting?
My card only have insde spdif, my sound doesn’t go through spdif… When i slide the “potmeter” on my headphones, i can hear a little noise (when sliding it) when i slide it downwards its getting lower, and when i slide it back to max its getting louder, so it looks like the headphone got the strain…
Ok, can you also give a quality check of the rpms you have installed now? ie:
rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/soundAnd post here the output.
Sometimes the script does not show everything I need .
Reference hardware, make certain you don’t have your connections backward to your PCs sound card. I know that sounds like a funny request, but inadvertently my maid has mistakenly broken the sound on my PCs a few times (knocking out the cables when vacuuming, and then putting them back in the wrong place), and I usually end up banging my head against the wall for some minutes before I figure that out (at some major cost to my ego).
Thanks. You still have not rolled back completely yet.
duke@linux-7tdg:/tmp> rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-1.0.18-8.9
** alsa-oss-32bit-1.0.17.git20080715-2.26**
alsa-utils-1.0.18-6.4
alsa-plugins-32bit-1.0.18-6.12
** alsa-oss-1.0.17.git20080715-2.26**
alsa-plugins-1.0.18-6.13
alsa-firmware-1.0.17-1.42
duke@linux-7tdg:/tmp> rpm -qa | grep pulse
libpulse0-0.9.12-9.5
duke@linux-7tdg:/tmp> rpm -q libasound2
libasound2-1.0.18-8.9Please try to do so. Then restart.
I note the latest kernel:
duke@linux-7tdg:/tmp> uname -a
Linux linux-7tdg 2.6.27.21-0.1-default #1 SMP 2009-03-31 14:50:44 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Its possible that kernel simply breaks your sound and you have to:
a. wait until the 1.0.19 alsa comes out for that kernel, and/or
b. write a bug report on the new kernel compatibility with your hardware
Unfortunately IMHO the advice to “use dmesg” was less than helpful. I learned that the hard way by suggesting that many times users look at dmesg, and then users did NOT have a clue as to what I was talking about, nor as to what they should look for. So I eventually learned reference giving that advice. Now adays, I typically look for occurences of “sound”, “snd”, “hda”, “alsa” in the dmesg.
How about posting the output so we can look at it? The EASY way to do that which I also recommend is to copy and paste this (with your PC connected to the internet):
dmesg > dmesg.txt && curl -F file=@dmesg.txt nopaste.com/a
then post here the URL. Just the URL.
Of course, i copy pasted what u wrote in your post(dmesg > dmesg.txt && curl -F file=@dmesg.txt nopaste.com/a) i run that command again here is the new result: dmesg.txt - nopaste.com (beta)
I tried my system already with other distro livecds… ubuntu, xubuntu… none of them had working sound.
