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.
So I know there are many ways to change the volume when one is running ALSA. However, I like running PulseAudio, whose volume really shouldn't be changed with an ALSA volume control. So I decided to find a way to change the volume through the command line. I researched and found pactl, which lets the person mute, unmute, and change the volume, among a whole lot of other thin
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.
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 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
I'm using Fedora 11, kde desktop, and the alsa sound system, everything completely up-to-date via yum. Sound works with the exception that in order to get a reasonable volume from my applications (any applications), I need to set the master volume so high that the system sounds, like login/logoff chimes, are soooo loud I'm worried I'm going to wreck my speakers.
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 
I have a recent problem with my sound configuration. Basically, it's way too loud until I set the volume below 10%. And then it's very quickly too silent. Using the alsa mixer, I can set the headphone volume and PCM volume to about 50% and then obtain a reasonable range on the master.
I noticed that the volume control when I use xubuntu is not really working properly.
I can see, that xubuntu is recognizing that it should do something and displays a small image indicating volume up/down or mute.
