[alc850] sound not working (Intel ICH7; Ubuntu 8.10; ALSA)

[Konstantin Scheumann]

Hi!

Intel ICH7 with ALC850 at irq 17
ubuntu: 8.10

system -> settings -> audio
when i click on audioplayback [Test] a popup window says:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument

if i hit ok, the app gets stuck.

var/log/messages:
Oct 31 02:22:20 desktop pulseaudio[5602]: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
Oct 31 02:22:20 desktop pulseaudio[5604]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted

Oct 31 02:22:20 desktop pulseaudio[5604]: alsa-util.c: Device front:0 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz.

i don't hear anything.

if you need more information let me know!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies Thanks in advance!

same issue, but strange behavior since audio works at boot process and some time after it doesn't play any sound

# uname -a
Linux albert-laptop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

dmesg and lspci-vvnn attached (the ones after the audio crash)

uop, only one file at a time, here come dmesg.log

I face similar issue with sound on 8.10.

Below is the error message that I find in /var/log/messages.

Attached the complete log of the system bootup

[riazrahaman (rahamanriaz)]

Missed the error log relating to audio in my previous message

Nov 13 22:10:36 riazrahaman-desktop pulseaudio[5937]: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
Nov 13 22:10:36 riazrahaman-desktop pulseaudio[5939]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted

[cato (catonano)]

I'm experiencing similar simptoms.

I filed a bug report here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/296513)

I attached, there, a lot of stuff, uname, asound/cards, var/log/messages and I don't remember what else.

I don't know wether it's a duplicate because I'm not getting any dialog window claiming any error from the System-> preferences -> audio panel.

The similarity is this:
W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader.
main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted
main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted

and of course, no sound at all.

[cato (catonano)]

Sorry, I forgot I have a HAD Intel as a sound card, not the ICH7 as in the subject.

Thanks

[cato (catonano)]

I solved, it's working for me, now.

Just run "alsamixer -Dhw" and double check that the PCM volume is not set to 0. Mine was.

Just raise it and you'll hear sounds againg.

So the error messages from pulseaudio were not related to this, it seems.

I'm a bit surprised; some of the gurus reading the bug reports could have warned us.

There are plenty of bug reports of no sound after upgradind to Intrepid Ibex.

[riazrahaman (rahaman-riaz)]

This works perfectly for me. But will this work after reboot or does
this need to be configured every time after boot up?

Same problem here. My sound is working for some time and then nothing ! Ill be attaching the files in the next posts :)

uname -a:
Linux beast 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

[apix (apixkernel)]

and the lspci -vvnn results

[Yinon Ehrlich (yinone)]

have the same issue with intrepid, Realtek Audio device alc888:
the ALSA worked for some time, but after some days it stopped completly.
I followed the instructions here and in similar bug reports and found out that OSS still works.
my kernel version: 2.6.27-7-generic
output of lspci -vvnn | grep Audio : Intel... 82801H (ICH8 family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b]

tried to point all sound to OSS, but still sound applications not working

[Yinon Ehrlich (yinone)]

sudo apt-get install alsa-oss solved this...

[Randy Winchester (randy)]

Another couple of data points...

I have the problem with two of my machines. One with ICH6 and another with an internal Audigy 2. Same thing. Sound works fine when I first boot up, then stops working completely at some point.

Following the advice above, I've checked alsamixer to make sure sliders are up and outputs unmuted. No go. I also have the latest version of alsa-oss installed, according to apt-get install.

I don't have any evidence and can't produce / reproduce this at will, but I highly suspect that it has something to do with Flash.

[ahoms (alberthoms-gmail)]

In my case, following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and installing latest alsa version solved my problem

[Rajan (vardhar)]

Had the same problem, sound not audible after it working for some time, had installed gsopcast, it worked after that too, not sure what happened either reboot or some key combination caused the audio to not sound. Many sites point to basic troubleshooting that include alsamixer with no option. The solution suggested with options -Dhw found the PCM was set to 0, increasing it turned the audio on.

Thanks!

[Krzysztof Janowicz (janowicz)]

same for me, sound stopped working:
