Bug Description

Dell Dimension L700CXE desktop, was running 11.05, but on upgrading to 11.10 and then to 12.05 the sound device has vanished; the modules are loaded, the device appears in lspci, but on the sound config Output or Input panel there are no devices listed and the output volume slider is greyed out.

it must be something simple I'm overlooking, because so much of this looks perfectly normal. All users are added to the audio /etc/group

ok, situation solved I think: I did a cold reboot, shut it down, let it sit for a few minutes, then restarted the machine, and voila, I have sound -- so this was, as they say, "stray capacitance" (ie, wtf I dunno)

sorry, seems to be a false alarm, although I did learn alot about debugging alsa ;)

it does have line out, so I guess that's my strategy then; I'll contact that list. This computer has been happily running Ubuntu for a long long time, so it's my guess they've changed something specifically in the 11.10 release version

I haven't the faintest clue how to use module-combine-sink instead of module-combine, but perhaps the pulse list can help with that.

I'm not sure how this diagram tells me anything useful about
module-combine-sync or how to not use it. it is fascinating, but I'm not
following the advice here, sorry.

there is no mono speaker in the box, but that doesn't mean there circuitry
isn't there, only that dell hasn't hooked it to anything. there is a
line-out in addition to the speaker-out

how do I obtain the pulseaudio verbose log?

I'll take your word for it ;) I see also, listed in the Output Devices, for
the admin account (other user accounts still cannot see ANY devices) I have

LFE on Separate Mono Output/ No Amplifier
LFE on Separate Mono Output / Amplifier
Headphones / No Amplifier
Headphones / Amplifier

and I have my Analog Output B-Link USB Audio device; running paprefs no
longer adds the device that binds the output together under one pseudo
device. Under Ubuntu 11.04 I don't recall seeing those LFE entries, just
the line-out and headphone.

just for the record: I switched from Unity-2D to LXDE and with it had to
switch to using the pavucontrol to set up my sound devices: the unified
paprefs device appeard in the pavucontrol lists, and when set the system
behaves as it did under Unity in 11.04, the same sound is now heard on both
channels.

So I am left with the issue of why the admin is able to use the sound and
not the other users, even though all of them are in the audio /etc/group

fwiw, the pavucontrol did show volume controls of the mono speaker and a
switch for mono mix; I turned both on and turned the volume full blast but
heard nothing coming out of the box. It's my guess Dell just didn't bother
to put a speaker on it ;)
