I just heard a short high-pitch sound like a mosquito repellant

Code: [Select]

/code]

[Juanito]

instead of running alsasound start, it would have been good to use alsamixer to check if the volume was muted...

[Stone.Giant]

I got error when I run alsamixer. I gonna reboot

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

[Juanito]

OK, try loading alsa and alsa-config, running alsamixer to unmute the volume and then speaker-test - all without running alsasound start.

[Stone.Giant]

whats the command to load alsa-config?

[Juanito]

Code: [Select]

$ tce-load -i alsa-config

[Misalf]

Might be needed to load it onboot.

[Juanito]

"onboot" is more for convenience once things work - to test it's better to do things manually from a terminal window.

[Stone.Giant]

yes i placed my alsa-conf in on-boot. do i still need to execute this command?

[Stone.Giant]

I ticked all the speakers in my alsamixer and still to no avail. my soundcard is SigmaTel STAC9752,53. I think it uses AC '97 in Windows.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ tce-load -i alsa-config
alsa-config is already installed!

[Juanito]

If speaker-test (which does not need "sudo") works without error, then I believe things are configured properly without needing "alsasound start", but instead there is a volume setting problem somewhere preventing you from hearing anything.

From alsamixer, are you sure that the "master" is un-muted (i.e. no "MM" under the volume bar) and that "headphones", if any, is muted?

[nitram]

Stone.Giant

To confirm alsa-config is loaded, otherwise output empty:

tce-status -i | grep alsa

When running alsamixer in terminal, press F6 to confirm the correct sound device is selected.

For me, if 'PCM' is muted (MM) i don't get sound.

[Stone.Giant]

It is working after some configurations. I have to unmute PCM, then I have to execute first alsa sound start and go to speaker test. How can I make this setting in consistency after reboot? Should I now execute the "sudo alsactl store"?

[nitram]

As i mentioned and same as your experience, PCM can not be muted.

This is what works for me. As i don't want sound every session, i simply place 'alsa-config' into OnDemand. Should i want sound, i simply select alsa-config from my OnDemand menu - works great.

If you want sound every boot, add 'alsa-config' to your onboot.lst via an onboot.lst edit or the Apps GUI. Select Apps > Maintenance > OnBoot Maintenance, select alsa-config.tcz and click Add Item. Reboot and sound should work.

Not sure how others do it, i just open alsamixer in terminal manually to adjust sound during the session. If the alsamixer command doesn't tab-autocomplete, then i know i forgot to load alsa-config.

For persistent sound settings, check these links:

[Juanito]

As per the info file:

If you want your alsa settings to persist across reboots, use the command "sudo alsactl store" after alsa has been set up.  This stores the configuration in /usr/local/etc/asound.state.  Place this file in your backup to allow your alsa settings to persist across sessions.
