no more sound - SOLVED
« on: November 08, 2010, 07:58:12 AM »
I've been having a problem in the last several weeks. My sound doesn't work after rebooting. Everything was working fine until I installed the last 4 or 5 updates to the system. So far I've tried everything I could fine on the forum. The only way I can get the sound to work is by going into a terminal as root and running alsaconf. This only works until I shut down the system. The next time I boot up into PCLinuxOS I have to run alsaconf again to get the sound working. I've looked at the etc/modprobe.d/sound file before and after running alsaconf and it is the same, so alsaconf is changing something somewhere else. Anybody have any idea on how I can get the conf. file to remember the settings so I don't have to run alsaconf everytime? Thank you, Stephen

PCLinuxOS 2010
LXDE
Sound Blaster Live 5.1 sound card

Try disabling pulseaudio in pcc/hardware/sound

smurfslover;

Pulseaudio is disabled in pcc/hardware/sound. Still no sound unless I run alsaconf.

kjpetrie;

Yes. Alsa set to run on boot in PCC ->System ->Control services, it says it's running, but it isn't running. I click on start and it runs alsaconf and then it works until I close the OS. The next time I boot the system the same thing happens.

Can you give us the output of lsmod after fresh boot and one from after you've ran alsaconf.
How many soundcards are listed by also? I had problems in the past with alsa detecting my webcam with microphone as the default soundcard leaving the real one unconfigured.

smurfslover; I'd be glad too, but where do I find Ismod? Stephen

smurfslover; OOPS!  ;D  It's easy to find when you type lsmod instead of ismod.

Here is before running alsaconf.

Seems like you have some usb stuff plugged in at boottime which is configured as soundcard, most probably webcam with microphone.
What devices do you have plugged in at boot?

I have my ink jet printer and a scanner, the scanner is completely off, no power. The printer is on standby till the computer sends something to it. I had a cable plugged in for a digital camera but no camera attached to it. That's it.

I suggest you start a new topic on the hardware section on the forum, you'll be getting more help on this there.
You could try booting with nousb added to the kernel modeline in grub.

smurfslover;
I think I know where the problem came from. How I have to remove it from the software somehow. Several months ago my grand daughter was here and I plugged her cell phone USB cable into the computer to charge her cell phone battery. It was after that the problem started.  So I ran the live CD that I used to install everything from and it worked fine. If I can remove snd_usb_audio from where ever it is I think the problem will go away. Have you got any idea of how to do this?

Try adding
Code: [Select]
blacklist snd-usb-audioto /etc/modprobe.conf
and reboot.

No, it didn't work. No sound and lsmod still shows snd_usb_audio all over the place. Any other things I can try to remove it?

I remember having an issue like this years back when I ran Slackware.

I believe I fixed it by adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

options snd-usb-audio index=1
