http://ubuntuforums.org – Since I installed 13.04 I have not had a working sound mixer in Unity, the mixer exists but it does not see a sound device so the controls don't work. I have been having to use AlsaMixer. Is this a common issue (search didn't find anything)? Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix it? Thanks much. (Hardware)

I have a Turtle Beach PX3.  It's a USB wireless headset.  I got the sound working and everything and I can control the volume through the XFCE mixer or the ALSA mixer but I would like to be able to use the physical knob.  On Windows 7, it just sends a signal to bump up the volume in the software mixer much like the volume controls on a keyboard would.  For the short time I

On a freshly installed lubuntu quantal ppc I have no alsamixer in terminal. I have reinstalled alsa-utils package and ran the command sudo rm /etc/modrpobe.d/blacklist.local.conf which did the trick in 12.04. I still have no sound or audio icon on taskbar, but alsamixer showed up in terminal for a while with a message; "this sound device does not have any controls".

I have a Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi HD USB sound card. Seems to work out of the box when I plug it in, using snd_usb_audio module. When I start alsamixer, in the Playback view it shows two controls: PCM, and PCM Capture Source which allows me to switch between Mic, Line and Phono, three different inputs on the card.

Good evening #! users. This is my first 'Main' Linux OS, and I am having an issue here. My sound is abnormally low, my speakers are max and I can barily listen to music effectively. On the sound icon, the slider is at the top (maxed) and in the mixer, I have HD ATI SB(Also mixer) set to highest, and I am on PCM setting.Any help guys?

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome Classic interface on my ThinkPad laptop. My sound card is a Intel 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller.

Now, while using ubuntu, the gnome mixer (gnome-sound-applet) disappears randomly and the volume up/down buttons on my pc stop working.

I have recently (?mistakenly) purchased an Arcam rpac USB DAC for my Ubuntu (12.04) PC. I have torn out all but 3 of my hairs trying to get this to work and have had absolutely no luck so far.

I can see the Arcam USB audio device when i run aplay -l, however I cannot see it listed under the Sound settings.
