Sound problem on ~Current-2023-12-26
I get no sound on Current.
EDIT: Downgrade this to a problem to Chomium-based browsers. Chromium-ungoogled-120.??? & brave 1.61.??? I think it boils down to this. Code:
bash-5.2$ cat /proc/asound/cards Can I get around it by correcting some currently unknown config file, or putting something like Code:
cat " 0 [PCH ]: HDA Intel PCH at 0xc0210000 irq 28 " > /proc/asound/cards EDIT: I can'[t actually do this. I'm not allowed (as root) or can't stop pulseaudio or alsa either. :confused: |
/etc/rc.d/rc.alsa and /etc/rc.d/rc.pulseaudio should not be executable.
Forget alsa utilities. Run pavucontrol. On the top menu, click "Output Devices'. There is "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" or similar and a speaker icon. Is the speaker icon on a grey background (muted)? Click to unmute and you get a blue volume slider below. Do you get any sound now? Is the "Port" correct? The pulseaudio settings are saved in $HOME/.config/pulse. |
Thanks for the reply.
Pulseaudio wasn't executable, fixed rc.alsa, went through pavucontrol. Things looked slightly better. Chromium-ungoogled worked with brave 'bravely chickening out' to quote Sir Robin's Minstrel (referencing "Monty Python & the Holy Grail") Just ignore that if you're not into Monty Python. So you fixed chromium-ungoogled for me, and I'm thanking you for the solution & marking this solved. |
Rc.alsa-oss neither? Lately I haven't had chrome/chromium audio either (works in all other web browsers) so I'll try this later.

As I stand now, alsamixer is still randomly required to select & unmute the correct soundcard, and store settings.
Chromium sound works, Brave works. Palemoon has sopund but no video on some sites. I haven't made serious efforts to sort that. |

pavucontrol sees no input, like I don't have any sound card fitted:confused:

No output devices - like I've no sound card fitted. 15.0 is OK, this is just on Current. But it's a 10 year old laptop, with a cheap intel cpu & chipset, so what can one hope for? At least it's faster than it was new, because I upgraded the spinning rust to an ssd.

I thought turning off rc.pulseaudio would turn off audio, but it didn't... what's the reason to actually have rc.pulseaudio disabled? I think I also have some old programs that use ALSA and maybe even OSS like someone explained above is needed for soundcard configuration/volume.

I didn't think the issue was with pulse or alsa.
My soundcard is seen 1½ times in alsamixer. The ½ is selected bu default, and the '1' is muted. I have to deselect the '½' and select the (muted) '1' and unmute it. When I finish, neither pulse nor alsa is running. |
After I turned off the rc scripts, seems I no longer can get input for my Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS platinum front panel microphone socket.
