The first symptoms I had is that kmix wouldn't move the sound sliders, and enabling/disabling inputs wouldn't work. Launching alsamixer at a command prompt gives this:
$ alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory
Sound worked well in gutsy on the same laptop, a Fujistu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505, with Intel Centrino Duo chipset (945G)

I can confirm this after an upgrade from gutsy to hardy. My PC is a toshiba satellite A100-237. Sound worked perfectly in Gutsy . Furthermore there are no more inputs (no microphone), only outputs. Pulseaudio seems to be functioning properly, with proper level meters on playback, however no sound can be heard. KMix does not work. Media players (VLC , mplayer) are working as far as they are set to use the hardware device. Amarok with xine is unable to initialise audio devices. Alsamixer and amixer does not work:

Some additional information:

kmix only shows Master, Microphone, CD, PCM and Digital, all in the "output"-tab. There are no more channels available.
kmix shows the soundchip as Realtek ALC861.
Muting and moving of the sliders is possible but has got no effect.

Since the upgrade to Hardy, Pulseaudio sound server is not working properly. I am not sure if it is related to this bug, but again it seems to be using alsa-utils.c, can anybody else confirm that?
Pulseaudio seems to connect successfully and its clients are registered correctly, however no sound is coming out, as it cannot send the stream to the output.

I haven't done anything except installing the latest updates (I did't even care to look what those were) but now this morning I had sound in youtube videos...
polarch (deadflagblue) wrote : | #9 |
This is not a no-sound bug for me, it is an alsa-utils bug. Since a player is set to use the alsa device directly sound is working fine; VLC, mplayer, JACK audio server or the flashplugin all have sound but there is the shortcoming of only one of them using the alsa device, so no sound from flashplugin if VLC is open. What is not working for me are the alsa-utils described above, pulseaudio which can take care of the software mixing and xine engine (and amarok). Probably the last two also use some pf the alsa-utils.

symptom was initially left channel dead/very quiet - with model=auto they seem to be OK; but the mixer is confused over the channels - I can't find any that actually does volume; and the volume channel seems to be 100% or 0% (not that it makes any difference).
(Possibly related; during recover from hibernate I thought I heard an odd sound - can't really describe it)

As "Adna rim" said the status for alsa-driver was set to "Fix Released". I don't think that's correct because it's assigned to nobody and importance is also unset.
Because I think that alsa-driver also is or could be affected I would say it should be "Confirmed".

I'm also on a Pi 1505, and still stuck. And since it is now April and no test fix has been released yet, I'm afraid this bug will stay with Hardy...
Zenigata (drebon) wrote : | #26 |
Well the trick of using an asound.state file seems to work, and using pulse audio allow one to set the volume of the pulse device using alsamixer. So this bug is probably going to be quite transparent to the typical user that is doing a fresh installation.
Anyway it is a bad thing to have in a lts, maybe it is due to the version mimatch between the different alsa component, but the fact is that one is able to change the mixer settings using the old asound.state file.
I use a file with all the outputs, not only one, that allow me to tweak my settings quite fine.

I can confirm this bug on Hardy Beta AMD64 with all available updates (kernel 2.6.24-15), on Uniwill M31E. Alsa mixer is not available, and in avaliable mixers there is no HDA Intel (Alsa mixer), only Realtek ALC861 (OSS Mixer) for onboard audio. I cannot effectively set volume in GUI.
Running exactly same system booted with vanilla kernel 2.6.24-3 fixes these problems - so i think alsa modules in Hardy's kernel are somewhat broken.
JockeTF (jocketf) wrote : | #28 |
Same thing here, there is no intel HDA ALSA device, only a Realtek ALC861 OSS mixer.
I tried installing libasound2* and alsautils 1.0.16 (compiled for debian unstable) and ran alsaconf, this did not solve the proble. However, while running alsaconf it told me about "being able to change volume using applications such as alsamixer or gamix" so I installed gamix and I was, using that, able to change my volume. Something which also might be worth pointing out it is that the "digital" mixer disapeared in gamix after I installed libasound2* and alsa-utils 1.0.15.

Confirmed here, also intel, blah blah (my laptop is a generic-brand, I don't have it bootable right now but I think we know by this point the specific hardware isn't entirely important). I'm thinking users not being able to control volume levels? Umm, "high" importance in my opinion.

Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen (marc-nieper-wisskirchen) wrote : | #33 |
Same problem here (amd64). Audio device is "nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)" according to lspci -v.
Once solved the problem by compiling the alsa kernel module from the alsa source package, but this kernel module has been overwritten by the latest kernel updates.
As this seems to be somewhat independent of the hardware and affects important functionality, I also vote for heightening the priority.

I also get the problem with my Dell Inspiron 9400, both in Kubuntu and Ubuntu. Sound control works for some functions and not in others. Also, startup sound is too loud and a bit distorted. I also think this is my biggest issue so far.
Ryan Rawdon (flieslikeabrick) wrote : | #35 |
Confirmed again, on an ASUS Eee PC (4G Surf, though the model shouldn't matter). I've had this problem since shortly after I upgraded to hardy a month or two ago. It was working for a short period of time, but some set of updates broke it.

If you don't want for the updates to get uploaded to repositories just do:
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
module-assistant a-i alsa-source
reload the sound modules (or restart) and it should be working.

Recent kernel updates made it work for me (ie. all te expected mixers an working sound) on 2.6.24-16-generic kernel.
Strangely, it stopped working witm my old compiled kernel (no apparmor), but a new one with apparmor patches woks very well (2.6.24-16-generic break CPU frequency scalling for me).

@Jose Bernando
Any luck with compiling the alsa drivers from source? Still no sound for me.
It's strange cause all the alsa-utils and players seem to be working fine,
the device is being recognised correctly, alsamixer is working fine, nothing
is complaining about errors, however no sound is coming out from the
speakers or headphones..
The worst is that after removing the compiled alsa-modules and reverting
back to the standard kernel alsa-modules (with broken alsamixer) and still
no sound coming out!
Jose Bernardo (bernardo-bandos) wrote : | #46 |

Yes, that is exactly the same behaviour I am getting here, unfortunately. No more sound, whatever the app or interface, the only thing out of the speakers or headphones is background noise if I turn on CD or mic monitoring.

I had to manually set the model=asus-laptop (in my case) to solve those problems.

With 2.6.24-16-generic and nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio I still have the problem here. With manually compiled alsa modules, it works though.
P.S.: Is there a way to prevent that manually compiled modules (via m-a a-i ...) are being overwritten when the kernel packages are being upgraded?

Adding model=3stack-dig isn't the best solution. With it I now have a "master" volume control that does nothing, and the "pcm" channel is the one that works.

Is this bug ever going to be fixed?
Hardy is released now, and still I need to run "sudo module-assistant auto-install alsa" in order to get alsa working properly on my laptop (tried from a fresh install of hardy final yesterday, in the beta it worked fine, but in the rc and final it's broken).
My laptop is a Zepto Znote 6314w, with intel HD audio (ALC861), and I run Hardy 64bit.
Without it, all I see in gstreamer-
If I try to start alsamixer I get:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
Is it only my imagination that the ubuntu forums are getting pretty many threads about broken sound since the hardy release?
I'm sure this bug is the cause of at least some of those posts.

Now that you mention it, when I check dmesg output, I have exactly the same problem with pcspkr.
My motherboard also has a realtek 861 codec, but unfortunately the only option that enables me to get sound out of the speakers is 3stack-dig. I only have 2 outputs and spdif is shared with the headphones plug. With the 3stack-dig option, I get a "master" volume control that does nothing at all.

thank you, jocke. the sound works loudly with asound.conf
i've got the medion akoya md96630 notebook with Realtek ALC888 High Definition Audio.
but there is an other problem, too, which had also been in gutsy: it is not possible to separate the intern sound from the headphones.
i tried the linux driver from realtek.tw but they didn't solve this problem.

I removed the generated alsa-modules-* package and now it does not work any more… Btw, is there anything else to do to revert the changes of module-assistant and alsa-utils reset ? Before doing that I had still very low sound, now I do not have any sound at all…

i also tried to build alsa but still the same problem as before: can't control the volume or mute the sound
in gutsy all i had to do is put "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in /etc/modprobe.
a) in gnome the mixer defaults to "Realtek ALC861 (OSS Mixer)" device and lists 3 pairs of sliders: 1) Volume, 2) Microphone, 3) CD; here comes the problem i already mentioned: can't control the volume [the Volume slider(s) will jump to max everytime i try to lower them] or mute the sound
b) if i switch to the next audio device ["Playback: ALSA PCM on front:0 (ALC861 Analog) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)"] i only get one twin slider: Master; this one seems to work [i can get the output volume lower/higher and also mute it]; the thing is.. i should have at least: one Master, one PCM, one Microphone, one CD [..] slider pairs [pairs as they are two for each channel: left & right]; another problem with this one: if i lower the volume down the next time i reboot the welcome/login sounds will have the volume set to loudest [even if i used to set this one -=Master=- down before restart]
c) the next device is "Capture: Monitor Source of ALSA PCM on front:0 (ALC861 Analog) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer); obviously this one has nothing to do with play [but recording]; i get only one slider pair (Master) and a microphone knob [besides the mute one]; the mixer's tab is named Recording, so this Master reffers to recording not playing
d) the fourth device is "Capture: ALSA PCM on front:0 (ALC861 Analog) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)", and has only one master slider pair and that microphone knob like the previous device [c)]
a temporary "fix" is to set the gnome mixer to the second device [as described at b)], but this doesn't solve the problem

I have got the same problem as LordFarquaad (and same codecs, too. do you also have Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505?).
I've tried a lot of the options but they all were quiet useless (although kmixer always looked a bit different). Sound was there but mixing was not possible, neither Master nor PCM and "alsamixer" showed an error.
After a-m there was no sound at all.
Today's new kernel made sound working again but mixer is still useless.

After one more m-a a-i alsa, sound is now working for me! Thanks Jose Bernardo for the "alsa force-unload" trick which avoids rebooting…
I also have that "master" channel for Pulseaudio Mixer, and it affects the sound level. I have to set both PCM and master at 50% for "normal" sound output level.
@FriedChicken: I have a Zepto Znote 6615WD, but those sound and modem devices seems quite common…
jocko (jomnal00) wrote : | #70 |
What will it take to get the developers to fix this?
As rebuilding the alsa modules fixes the problem, wouldn't it be quite easy to fix this and provide an update through the repos (kernel, alsa or ubuntu-modules)?
Or is this bug not serious enough to require some attention?

The fix should be permanent, only needing to rebuild alsa with a kernel update. That is, if you added the options line to /etc/modprobe.
darkangel88 (tipat88) wrote : | #74 |
Thanks for your quick answer Jose Bernardo.
Here's what I have done... don't know if I missed something but anyway, here's the steps :
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo m-a a-i alsa-source
After that, I modified the file "/etc/modprobe.
Then, reboot the machine but still no sound. As soon as I do the "sudo alsa force-unload; sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" I'm getting sound.. but after I restart the computer I have to do it again if I want sound !! I was thinking about executing a script that does those 2 commands but it sounds to me like a dirty fix.... there must be something I'm doing wrong here !
Jose Bernardo (bernardo-bandos) wrote : | #75 |
That is strange. What I can suggest is that you check the output of dmesg, both after rebooting and after resetting alsa. Check if there is anything different when loading the snd-hda-intel module. Also, check if there is a duplicate module somewhere under /usr/lib/modules. It was simpler before the ubuntu developers removed slocate in hardy, all you needed to do was "locate snd-hda-intel", right now you need to do a find or something similar.
Finally, check if there is another "option snd-hda-intel ..." entry either in /etc/modprobe.
Laurent Dinclaux (dreadlox) wrote : | #76 |
I have Hardy with latest update. My ASUS F3JC can play sound but not record either using integrated microphone or plugged microphone.
Do I have to recompile alsa? Or a specific line in /etc/modprobe.d will do it (tried some with no success)?

Maybe it's time to move to Intrepid, since hardy's been going on for good
now and this bug is getting pretty old without any changes (and pretty
long... and there are a couple of duplicates around). So it seems that it's
not gonna be fixed in hardy.
What I'd like to know is, in Intrepid, without any option or with
option=auto if you get any sound. Cause I hate all the bogus sliders that
option=3stack-dig or whatever produces for my onboard card, which has only
one input/output/CD and speakers... Also does the mic work? Cause mine is
not also that's probably an alsadriver problem for my realtek 861 chipset.
Another thing it does affect is the slmodem-daemon for alsa-modems, it
doesn't work till I upgrade the alsa-utils, but I'm gonna post a new bug
about that.

Greetings, everyone. I'm new to Launchpad, so I hope I'm not doing something incorrectly here.
I have a decent amount of experience with Linux, going back to my original Debian distro. I've custom compiled kernels before, and even built Linux from Scratch.
I switched to Ubuntu because of the amount of time I was spending configuring and reconfiguring audio. The ubuntu-studios packages fixed a lot of that.
Unfortunately, today, I'm back to square one. I have a new computer (my old one died recently), an HP Pavilion m8530f (amd 64, 5Gb mem). The sound card seems to be an intel hda with the ALC883 chip above.
I have followed many of the recommendations above, but the result is always the same -- the sound works, but is massively clipped, and echoes as if fifteen different processes were sending sound to the card at once. That is, if I play a sound file of a single tone, for example "aaaahhh", it sounds like "AACK!zzztAACK!
Following available directions, I custom compiled the alsa modules on a testbed partition (/dev/sda2, not my main Ubuntu, but one I use to try out dumb things before I blow up the system I rely on). Despite successful compilation, install, reboot, and lsmod analysis, the sound still did exactly the same thing.
In the end, I gave up and bought an Edirol UA-4FX. (Thank you, usb_audio developers!)
Nevertheless, it's still a problem. I think I could get the latency on the system down to a bare minimum if I could use the on-board sound card.
Now. Since I've never done this before -- bug reporting here on Launchpad -- I'm kind of at square one. What do I report? What module information, hardware information, and so on do you need?
P.S. I've also installed Intrepid on my testbed partition in both the amd64 and i386 flavors (i386 is the current version, as of last night). Although everything else works faultlessly, the sound remains clobbered. A serious bug, since I'm a musician ;-)
Thanks for any help or advice you can give me.

Hi,
I also have a ALC861 based integrated sound card:
lspci -vv | grep -i audio
00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC861 Analog [ALC861 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC861 Digital [ALC861 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
The sound works ok, but not the mic input. (It can be heard in the speakers but I can not record it, or use it with skype).
I am eager to try:
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i alsa
But in case it breaks the sound all together, I would like to know first how to reverse it if it does. Anyone knows the procedure?
Thanks,
Seb.

Could this be because alsa-base is at 1.0.16 and all the rest of alsa at 1.0.15-3?
