I have gone into alsamixer and maxed it all

but no sound....

I recompiled kernel to use modules and still no luck...

getting somewhere...

I ran alsaconf and it saw the card this time and it configured for it, restarted alsasound and loaded snd-card-0 but no sound in kde.

for grins i set the kde player to aplay and i got a bunch of ugly static but no nice sounds yet.

njcwotx · Post by **njcwotx** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 4:32 am

well, i can play video with sound off of the internet?!?, but no system sounds in kde. Wonder how long sound worked there:)

Binkerton · Post by **Binkerton** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 7:25 pm

I recommend removing all the unnecessary codecs you have built into the kernel

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0

but that's just my OCD

I imagine you checked the KDE sound preferences?
maybe they were disabled in an upgrade.

Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Multimedia.

I actually had that problem once. When you built KDE, did you have the right use flags so you can play ogg files? I think the use flag is vorbis.

Hi, I have encountered exactly the same problem and after searching the internet, I have solved it via the following approach.

1. find out the exact Codecs for your sound card

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/Intel/code* | grep Codec

2. Remove all other Codecs support and all other sound devices in Kernel.

Then the sound comes back.

I don't know why this happens, but It works.

@programfan - I suspect that this has helped countless numbers of users, but since I don't see any replies, let me be the first.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN!

I'm a 12 year linux user who has just lost a whole lot of hours trying to get my fairly new dual core laptop to play music again. Lost sound after some recent upgrades. Rebuilt the kernel with your information and am, again, listening to great music!!

Hope you see this.

Bill

ps - just realized the music is coming from my laptop speakers and not from my plugged in external speakers. Got to figure this one out.

The Intel HDA driver has an option for jack plugging notification, maybe you need that? (SND_HDA_INTEL_INPUT_JACK)

I had trouble with sound on my laptop (IHC9) after upgrading to 2.6.35, and updating udev fixed that.

donjames · Post by **donjames** » Wed Aug 25, 2010 6:26 am

Hi needlern1,

I am having the exact same problem -- no sound from the internal speakers on my laptop.

I have sound from a usb headset, but not from the internal speakers.

I am still working on the problem.

Sincerely,

Don James

I have the same problem here...
My sound card works in my laptop, but the hdmi output isn't working.
I did removed all codecs besides what cat /proc/asound/Intel/code* | grep Codec says and now KDE says that this output is unable to play audio

Should I remove all other devices from kernel besides Intel HD Audio?

Even if I remove the other Codecs there still no sound. I'm gonna retry with all the codecs again...
After I removed all other codecs, KDE Phonon plays with my onboard speekers only, even if I ask it to test my HDMI output.
Speeker test returns nothing on hw0:3
