http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, Well I installed Ubuntu a couple of days ago and, first I had no audio, but solved it with Alsa-mixer. Now I play the sound test, I try with center and plays it with subwoofer, and viceversa. I saw somewhere that with this command (gksu gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf) I can swap the channels editing the text. I tried but at restart didn't work.

Well, as the title says, my subwoofer and central audio are swapped. I tried, as a post said, to mannualy modify the audio channels, In /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets/default.conf. I made a sound test, but subwoofer played center's audio and viceversa.

Please Help! I need somebody!, but not just anybody!

My Sound Card is a Creative SB Live! 5.1 PCI

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 my first try on Crunchbang distro, I'm still getting used to it, but I can say it's very good. :)I'm trying the CrunchEee lite version, and I don't know how to get the sound working.

Can someone explain the relationship between the different sound components and if they all need to be installed in order to get sound?

For example, I have one called "Playback: ... (PulseAudio Mixer)" and another called "Intel ICH5 Alsa Mixer" which both seem to affect my sound. Can I uninstall one of them and still have working audio?

I have a Dell Inspiron 17r, after a fresh install of 12.10, the subwoofer seems to be not utilized. No sound comes from it and in the Sound Control Panel the settings appear grayed out (see screenshot).

I've just installed xubuntu on my friends netbook (model above). And I have no sound output, I have checked the obvious options in the mixer and on none of the options is anything muted.

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:

So, long story short, when I installed Mint 12 on my Dell laptop I realized my HDA-intel sound board have problems with pulseaudio. I uninstalled pulseaudio and got my sound back, but removing pulseaudio also removes that nice little mixer icon on the top panel of gnome-shell, and messes up with the sound configuration app.

Is there any other solution to just removing pulseaudio?

After Installation I Installed first Pulseaudio, then ALSA, but still I have no sound. Arch is up to date. I checked sound in Mint, so it isn't hardware problem.Drivers seem to be ok, I also unmuted all channels in alsamixer. speaker-test doesn't produce any noise. I have no idea why it doesn't work.
