[SOLVED] Problems with PulseAudio 3.0

[agmg]

Since the upgrade to PulseAudio 3.0, I have no sound in my laptop's speakers.

If I plug in my headphones, I have sound.
If I send the audio stream to HDMI, I have sound.
The problem is with the speakers.

Things I've tried so far:
- Completely removed all pulseaudio related packages, back to ALSA, sound from speakers is back.
- Reinstalled pulseaudio, same result.
- Uninstalled again, removed all folders related to pulseaudio and installed again, still no luck.
- Tried with different kernel, no change.

Tried running alsaconf as root. Found two soundcards.

First: snd-hda-intel (Intel Corporation 82801H - ICH9 Family - HD Audio Controller)
Second: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV710/730 HDMI Audio

Got this message:

Code: [Select]

WARNING: Module snd_mixer_oss already in kernel.
 snd_hda_intel snd_hda_intel.                                                                                             [ΕΝΤΑΞΕΙ]

ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

amixer: Mixer attach default error: Connection refused
Everytime I installed pulseaudio I went to PCC to enable it and checked after reboot that it was still enabled.
It is enabled but it seems that it when I select Analog Output, it always sends the audio stream to headphones only.

[Old-Polack]

I hate to state the obvious, but are the speakers turned on?

I bumped mine a few days ago, plugging in the scanner, and hit the on/off switch. An hour later... I figured out what the problem was.

Is there a selection option on the PA Output Devices tab to select between speakers and headphones?

What happens if you turn off the HDMI device on the PA Config tab?

It's a laptop, so there is no on/off switch...

Is there a selection option on the PA Output Devices tab to select between speakers and headphones?

What happens if you turn off the HDMI device on the PA Config tab?

There are two options: Analog Output and Headphones. Analog Output is selected. No change if I turn off the HDMI output...

Like I said, sound seems to be playing normal and going to Analog Output but only headphones are heard.
Seems like the system mutes the speakers...

Can you add a pic of the Output Devices Tab of PA Vol Ctrl?

[daniel]

Works like a dream here...



So again my question, or better post output from

Code: [Select]

locate pulse
Rename ~/.pulse to ~/.pulse.bak if you get this directory, Reboot.
Any changes?

[agmg]

Output of locate pulse is very long, split it in two posts:

Couldn't use Pastebin, it was under "Heavy Load"

[agmg]

Daniel, I tried renaming the .pulse folders under /home/agmg and under /root but nothing changed.
You have "Speakers" in your pavucontrol settings. I don't have that. Mine reads "Analog Output" and "Headphones" 

I installed qasmixer and found out that indeed my speakers are muted on startup:



If I move the "Speaker" slider to top, sound is back through my speakers...
Any ideas?

[Just17]

What happens if you disable 'auto-mute mode' in Qas?

[agmg]

I'm at work now so I can't do any more tests. I figured out the "mute" problem early in the morning before leaving for office.

Meanwhile, I gave a little thought on this "auto-mute" and it occured to me that something -probably related- has happened to me a while back (with Pulseaudio 2). Everytime I plugged my headphones, the laptop speakers weren't muted. I could hear the sound coming from both. I recall that I had to change the "auto-mute" feature through alsamixer everytime I wanted to plug in my headphones. In some time the problem just disappeared.

When I get back home I will check again and let you know.
Thanks for the help so far

[agmg]

With the help of my beloved wife (thanks baby), we did some more tests.

This time I used alsamixer (both as user and as root).

Pressed F6 and selected HDA Intel (not HDMI). As expected, the "Speaker" slider was set to 0 and "Auto-Mute" was enabled.
Set the slider to 100 and disabled "Auto-Mute". Rebooted. On next boot, slider again to 0 but "Auto-Mute" was disabled.
Tried again as root, slider reverts to 0 at next boot.

Tried the command "alsactl store 0" which is supposed to save the settings but had no effect.

I've also tried changing the volume levels in /etc/asound.state but they are reverted on next boot...

Anybody knows what might be causing this?

[Just17]

Does bringing up the slider let you hear sound from the speakers?

[agmg]

Yes, it solves the issue.
But I'm trying to figure out how to make it permanent.
It goes back to 0 (mute) on every reboot.
