[ubuntu] VIA VT1708B - Crappy Sound - Ubuntu jaunty.

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Can anybody tell me how to fix my sound in ubuntu 9.04? I have a VIA VT1708B. I upgraded the alsa drivers to the latest ones (1.0.21) and it didn't make a scrap of difference. I've got sound on the rear output but it's really crappy and distorted,and the front phone jack (on the case) doesn't work. I can't find any more info on how to fix this. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, jim. Edit: Problem solved sort of...The PCM stereo link doesn't work. Breaking the link and turning either L or R right down seems to work. (Hardware)

Sound is too quiet alsa 33 weeks 6 days ago

Hi, I am having an issue with the sound output on my thinkpad x60. It only has a headphone jack no speakers. I read the alsa wiki thoroughly and even got the low sound workaround, but it just made things sound distorted no help with the volume.

Just as an introduction: before the upgrade to 12.04 I was only able to get surround sound working by using the AlsaUpgrade script to upgrade alsa to 1.0.25. Without that I would have only stereo options in Sounds Settings.

The upgrade to to 12.04 overwrote the alsa on the system back to version 1.0.24, but Sound Settings does show 5.1 output.

I've done an exhaustive search for a solution. Any links or information regarding how to get HDMI sound to work will be greatly appreciated.

I installed arch linux on my brothers computer. I am using XFCE. The problem is, sound doesn't work right. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't work more times than it does. Usually all he has to do is CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to get it fixed, but sometimes it doesn't fix it. I have not installed ANY sound drivers or anything.

[ubuntu] no sound with koala 3 years 28 weeks ago

hello there, few days ago i upgraded from jaunty to karmic. everything goes well except of sound. with jaunty everything was ok, but koala remains silent no matter what i try... at first i thought it was problem with codecs as ogg files were played ok, but after installing ffmpeg, and other codec packcages there was no sound at all.

1) After install update Ubuntu 10 to 11 version, sound system runs slow, I can't use output on earphones, no sound, only laptop speakers run.

I has trying reinstall alsa, but sound system doesn't known earphones output.

2) I connect by USB port Creative Xmod Xfi, an USB sound interface with input/output/line plugs, its another sound card. Sound System doesn't recognise it.
