http://askubuntu.com – I have trouble with sound on a fresh installation of 12.04. I have just installed a new graphics card and with that, I decided to install 12.04 from scratch. Previously, the computer ran 11.04 and I reused the old /home partition. In 11.04 there were no issues. I have an Audigy 2 card, which is also reflected nicely by alsa: xerxes@xerxes:/proc/asound$ cat cards 0 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - SB Audigy 2 Platinum [SB0240P] SB Audigy 2 Platinum [SB0240P] (rev.4, serial:0x10021102) at 0xec00, irq 16 1 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic (HowTos)

Stories similar to ALSA does not see sound cards after restoring previous HOME

Hi,

I recently did a new install of 12.04 now I'm having sound issues.

I'm trying to get my Audigy2 to provide me with 5.1 sound but presently ALSA mixes the speakers incorrectly.

Sound stopped working 17 weeks 6 days ago

Fedora 17 KDE Soundblaster Audigy sound card

I was opening my phonon configuration to check what backends I have and since then I don't have any sound at all. In the Device Preferences, my "SB Audigy Degital Sterei (IEC958)" and "SB Audigy Analog Stereo" are always grayed out.

Alsa can't find my soundcard 31 weeks 3 days ago

Hi !First of all, I'm new to this forum so, if I made a mistake about posting in the wrong section, I'm sorry.I've a strange problem on my netbook with alsa. It's a fresh arch x86_64 installation. Udev detects my sound card.

Every time I restart the computer, the Sound Card in "Sound and Video Configuration" at "Phonon" under "Audio Hardware Setup" is reset to "HD-Audio Generic".

Which does not work, so I select "SB Audigy" instead and sound works just fine. Until I restart the computer.

Hi,

since I upgrade to Karmic my Audigy 2 zs notebook is displayed as a Audigy 2 Value. While the command

Code: aplay -l still shows the notebook card.

After so many many attempts to solve my audio problems when upgrading to Karmic, I finally found a working solution :p !

First, let me decribe what the problem was: 1) no audio card was detected at all => cat /proc/asound/cards returned an empty content => cat /proc/asound/devices did not include any audio devices

I'm using the out-of-the-box sound setup (ALSA, nothing else).

My audio card (Audigy Sound Blaster) was noisy (it sounded like a scratchy record previously on Windows XP but got much worse on Ubuntu) so I bought a cheap new StarTech 4CH card. When I put it in the PCI slot and booted up, my system ceased to acknowledge there was a sound card on board. I swapped back to the Audigy that functioned noisily before and it wasn't recognized either.

Hello pals.

I'm going back to fedora, cause printing problems on arch. But, at now, I've sound problems on fedora :(:fp:

But, with volume levels on max, no sound.
