Bug Description

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

First of all, notice that sound used to work well on Jaunty (previously too) so this is likely to be a regression.
I noticed this problem while testing Karmic for the first time (around alpha 2).

There is absolutely no sound on the internal speakers of my laptop.
When I plug headphones, I can hear the sound but it's very low and distort (it looks like a disrupted AM radio signal, if you see what I mean).

**What I have tried:**
Of course, all sound levels were increase as much as possible (alsa-mixer, graphical sound-applet...)

I tried every Profile in "Sound Preferences" -> "Hardware" with no results (currently, and by default, it's "Analog Stereo Duplex")

speaker-test was useless (nothing on speakers, something odd on headphones)

I did a fresh install last Sunday (daily-live) but the problem is still here.

If you need some extra information or investigation, ask me !
(sorry for my English)

For me the problem was arecord holding open the snd device, this was because of the randomsound init script kicking it off to generate entropy. try lsof | grep snd, and see anything is opening those devices directly. Confirm, first of all with pulseaudio -vv.

Thank you for your answer.

Here are your log.
For pulseaudio -vv, I had to kill the pulseaudio daemon and run the command quickly before it automatically restart.
(otherwise, the command end simply with "Daemon already running")

As you can see, the problem seem to be related to snd, indeed.

Here is another "lsof | grep snd" log but while a sound is being played in Totem.

You can notice that pulseaudio touch the snd device 5 times, is it normal ?

Today I found an old daily-live (06/25 → alpha 2.5 if you prefer) and I tested it.

Sound works properly on this, so this bug came after.

Could this be kernel issue ?
How can I figure it out ?

Hi Malaria,

Thanks for testing and confirming the previous versions of the kernel and pulseaudio where this wasn't an issue. That'll help narrow down the regression. The easiest way to determine if this is a kernel issue is to try installing and booting back into the known working 2.6.30-9 kernel. If you still have no sound then it's likely a pulseaudio regression. If sound comes back using the 2.6.30-9 kernel vs the 2.6.31-11 kernel, then it's likely a kernel regression. You can find the old builds of 2.6.30-9 at the following. Please let us know your results. Thanks!

Hi Leann,

I already installed my older daily-live but, after all updates, the old kernel prevented X to start (and I didn't manage to resolve this).

Thank you for your link, I'm currently installing the beta and I will try with some older kernels.

Revision history for this message
Nicolas Delvaux (malizor) wrote :

OK, so, unsurprisingly, the beta has the same issue.
I tried jaunty's kernel, 2.6.30-9 (the one that used to work on the 6/25 daily) and 2.6.30-10 and I got absolutely no sound.
(whereas with an an up-to-date kernel there is "at least" very low and distort sounds on my headphones.)

I also tried with kernel 2.6.31-13 and 2.6.31-14 but this time the original bug came back (see bug description for symptoms)

I don't know if these tests are relevant, pre-2.6.31 incompatibility might be caused by some user-space change or other.

What else can I do ?

This bug is a show stopper for me, I really want this to be fix before the release !

I (once again) reinstalled with 10/08 daily-live with no results. I tried to remove pulseaudio for a test purpose, but it wanted to remove gnome entirely so I canceled.

I though about trying another distro for seeing if this bug is reproducible, but in fact I'm not sure this would be very helpful.
What do you think ?

If you have any idea or test to perform (even a very annoying one) which might help, I will do the necessary.

I did some more kernel testing with karmic/jaunty, so here is a summary of all my tests in this area:

Current jaunty's kernel:
Work great with jaunty, no sound at all on karmic → (so, pulseaudio issue ?)

2.6.30-9
used to work with karmic prior alpha 3 but currently it brings no sound at all.

2.6.31 series (I tested many of them with the same result)
No sound at all on Jaunty.
On Karmic, no sound on internal speakers of my laptop but, with headphones, I can hear the sound but it's low and distort.

2.6.32 (tested with rc3 from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc3/ )
The same as with 2.6.31 (nothing on Jaunty, something strange on Karmic)

All of this seem strange to me, and this time I really don't know what else I can do to help.
Is there a way to downgrade easily pulseaudio for testing ?

@Jon Neal: Do you have the same behaviour with headphones ?

I also tried with kubuntu beta and, indeed, there is exactly the same bug.

So, we know now that it is a kernel issue, and it seems to have been introduced since 2.6.31 (according to my former tests).

I am on a fresh install so there were no linux-backports-alsa on my system.

So, with the latest snapshot, there is no difference :

- Bug without quirck
- Work as expected with model=will (both microphone, speakers and headphones
- Same with model=acer, but sound is too high (after some extra tests, I may say that it is 2x more on headphones and perhaps even more on speakers. Considering that sound become very ugly around 40%, thanks too integrated speakers, it's more useful and flexible to use model=will)

I tried the option model=acer instead of model=will. I don't find that the sound is too high. (I didn't try eadphones).
The sound is very ugly, but by changing the subwoofer's volume (with alsamixer command) which is too high, the sound becomes good.
with model=will, I did not have the opportunity to change the subwoofer's volume. And the sound seems the same after change. So, according to me model=acer is a better choice.
(I'm pretty sure that earlier I tried model=acer and get no sound.)

Ok, so I retried with model=acer.
In fact the volume control in the top board, controls the subwoofer's volume. So it's necessary to use the alsamixer to change the volume. Not pratical, so !

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p alsa-base %BUG_ID%

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Last time I tried Lucid (a week ago?) this bug was still here.

I still don't understand what "fix committed" means in this context.

If necessary, I'm can do whatever testing you want...

RE my post on the 31st of october ( #84 ) and my problems with sound. i have found the solution and it was the sl-modem proprietary driver:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sl-modem/+bug/449762

disabling it (in the hardware drivers tool in the administration menu) and restoring my pulesaudio configuration files to their original state overcame the problem.

its interesting that nusret's post from the 28th of october also worked, although requiring manual edits to files.

just posting here in case anyone else has experienced this problem.

    ALSA: hda: Use ALC260_WILL quirk for another Acer model (0x1025007f)

    BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418627

    The original reporter states that this quirk is necessary to obtain
    reasonable gain for playback. Without it, sound is inaudible. Tested
    with playback (spkr and hp) and capture.

Do we have to wait for an upstream inclusion or will the patch be in the default lucid kernel ?
