http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hey guys, I've read what feels like every forum post going with regards to this issue, nothing is helping, ive got no sound from my soundcard and yet Pulse volume metre for playback shows sound. I uninstalled and reinstalled PulseAudio with associated tools and it does recognise my soundcard, just dosnt play anything, nothing is muted from what I can see, ALSA mixer shows one volume slider and in ALSAmixer i can select soundcard as SB Audigy and adjust the volume levels of all the channels but when i exit ALSAmixer it goes straight back to the single slider. I don't know what else to try pl (HowTos)

Hello pals.

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

05:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 03)

But, with volume levels on max, no sound.

Hello,since a few weeks my sound volume on Arch is very low but for me it became conscious now. The audio volume is at least half of standard ALSA, possible only a third. When I remove pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa and restart the system the volume is right. I use KDE SC 4.8.3 and PulseAudio 2.0 on Linux 3.3.6-1 but I can't say to you when the problem has occurred.

I have tried killing pulseaudio. I have tried editing alsa-base.conf. I have tried alsamixer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling alsa-base and pulseaudio. I have tried everything I could find, but still no sound.

My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 6190us with switchable AMD and Intel graphics. The sound stopped working suddenly after an update.

Hey all,When i try to adjust the volume, my sound is completely silent until about 3/4 the way through the volume slider.  In that upper 1/4 of the volume slider, there is only coarse adjustment from very quiet to max volume.I know it's an arch/linux issue, because it doesn't happen in Windows on the same machine, and it was there before I reinstalled from scratch last week (not for

Just a follow up to this for anyone with the same issue.  I ended up installing alsa, alsa-oss, and pulseaudio-alsa, and then configuring them with an Alsa Mixer (in this case xfce4-mixer, but there are others) and Pulseaudio Volume Control (pavucontrol).  In Pulseaudio Volume Control, I disabled 'HD-Audio Generic', as it is for the HDMI output of my graphics card, and set &#03

hey there,

this is going to sound like a newbie question, i just have never run into this problem...

how can i change alsa in fedora to default to a higher volume, right now if i open alsamixer or gmixer the max volume is 31%(i don't use pulseaudio, as i do pro-audio and pulseaudio is unnecessary).

how can i change this?

Okay so I know that there are hundreds of these similar posts concerning no sound and let me assure you...I've gone through most of them and at least 15 different methods of trying to obtain ANY sound.

I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty dual installed with Vista on my Hp Pavilion Dv6 laptop. everything works great except for the no sound issue. This 'no sound issue' includes:

ALSA Volume too low 7 weeks 1 day ago

I'm using PNMixer in tray and have noticed that the volume set in it reflects volume in alsamixer kind of logarithmically. This is what it looks like:PNMixer - alsamixer100% - 100%75% - 50%50% - 20%25% - 8%0% - 0%This gives good control at very low volume levels, but is useless and gives an illusion of overall volume being lower than when using pulse for example.
