Bug Description
Never mind, this is not an Ubuntu issue. It was a hardware misconfiguration.
http://
I'm running a computer with a Soyo K7VME motherboard. The onboard sound is handled by a VIA V82xx device.
According to everything I've seen, the system is set up correctly.
I followed the instructions at RestrictedForma
I set out to follow the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide[2]. It hasn't really helped.
1. Go to a shell and type: aplay -l
dlg@pedro:~$ aplay -l
card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 0: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235]
Subdevices: 4/4
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
card 0: V8235 [VIA 8235], device 1: VIA 8235 [VIA 8235]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
dlg@pedro:~$
2. Type this into the shell: lspci -v
dlg@pedro:~$ lspci -v | grep -A5 Audio
0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)
Subsystem: Unknown device a723:10fd
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 185
I/O ports at e000 [size=256]
dlg@pedro:~$
4. Now go back to the shell and type sudo modprobe snd-...
dlg@pedro:~$ lsmod | grep ^snd_via
snd_via82xx 28824 1
dlg@pedro:~$
the module was already loaded automatically at boot.
I checked alsamixer, none of the outputs are muted.
I hear no output playing an mp3 in Movie Player, Rhythmbox, gxine or mpg123.
Clicking the "Test" button in gstreamer-
and so, even though this is a fresh install, I re-install the audio
dlg@pedro:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
...
dlg@pedro:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
...
dlg@pedro:~$ sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop
and reboot.
and still no sound.
someone at CIALUG suggests[3] blacklisting the snd-via82xx-modem module.
So I made my /etc/modprobe.
dlg@pedro:~$ grep -v ^# /etc/modprobe.
blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
dlg@pedro:~$
And rebooted. No effect.
This was originally submitted at the Ubuntu forums[4], but recieved little (as of this writing, no) attention. Matthew Nuzum suggested[5] I file this as a bug here. Thank you for your help.
