[colug-432] Sound Problem

[Stephen P. Molnar]

Not necessary to apologize for a late reply.

 

That was a red-faced forehead slapper, as I didn’t notice the muted channels.

 

I solved the problem by changing the muting pattern.  Although I mute the Headset channel it also mutes some of the other channels and I get nothing but white noise.

 

I’m not going to worry further about it as long as I continue to have sound (until the next time it happens).

Sorry for late reply - if you haven't figured this out yet, it looks like the headphone output is muted, as well as a few others. You can arrow R and L to select the outputs and un-mute by pressing m I only mention this because you said you are plugged into the correct jack on the sound card.

You can also try installing pavucontrol package.

I've Googled the problem and have tried a number of things.  Here are the results:

comp at AbNormal:~$sudo alsactl init
[sudo] password for comp:
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Realtek ALC887-VD" "HDA:10ec0887,10438444,00100302" "0x1043" "0x8444"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
comp at AbNormal:~$

I got a 'pop' from the speakers.

comp at AbNormal:~$sudo alsactl init

                      USB Device 0x46d:0x807 at usb-0000:00:12.2-4, high speed

I have also attached a screenshot of the alsa mixer.

The sound is not muted, and yes, the jack is plugged into the appropriate jack on the sound card.  I know that I have a signal coming in as I am streaming internet radio).

At this point I don't know what else to try.

Any suggestions will be most welcome.

Thanks in advance.
