http://askubuntu.com – 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. Pavucontrol shows that I am outputting audio in that progress-bar sort of thing, but I can't hear anything. Even headphones/external speakers don't work. I can change volume using my volume keys, but nothing happens. Please help. I am a linu (HowTos)

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

So, 2 days after installing latest #! on HP mini 110-3150 I noticed that there is no sound through speakers. Sound on headphones works. I addedoptions snd-hda-intel model=refTo:/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.confI reinstall alsa-base but still no sound.what is next? compile alsa-drivers from source?

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.

recent alsa update? 16 weeks 6 days ago

Was there a recent alsa or audio update?  I had my sound working perfectly, but I did a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade yesterday.  Since then I haven't been able to get sound out of my headphone jack.  The laptop speakers mute like they should when plugging into the jack, but then I get nothing out of the headphones.  mixer shows there should be sound and I've tri

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.

The problem is as follows:When skype plays his notification sound, sound volume in totem is going down to zero. When skype notification sound is finished, totem volume is back.

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?

So I feel like I've tried everything from changing settings in alsamixer and pulse audio volume controller, to editing alsa.conf files, to purging and reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio, to outright formatting and reinstalling.

This happens when I installed Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10, as well as Mint 11 and 12.

This is my lspci -v:
