for more info: this happened randomly.. sound mostly undetected

[Mathias Friman (mathias-friman)]

Same problem for me. However, i get sound output every time, if I

1. Start Ubuntu
2. plug in a pair of headphones
3. Rightclick on the volume-icon top-right and choose Sound settings
4. Go to the Output-tab
5. Choose Analog Headphones
6. Choose Analog Output again

Strangely this produces sound in the built-in speakers. No sound is ever heard through the headphones though.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

@biji, your problem is this: [ 14.392529] hda-intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode: last cmd=0x002f0012.
You could try installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic and reboot and see if that fixes the problem.

@Mathias, you're probably not experiencing the same problem unless you have the same controller, codec and error message in dmesg. Please file a separate bug report with "ubuntu-bug -p pulseaudio".

[Biji (biji)]

@david thanks for info.. downloading now

[Mathias Friman (mathias-friman)]

@David, i have the same codec and controller, though not the same error message. oh well, i'll file a separate report. :) Thanks.

[Biji (biji)]

hmm... tried linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic first boot .. sound is working, second boot.. not working, pulse applet show as dummy audio

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

When the sound isn't working, please run the following command:

sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/seq* /dev/snd/*

and attach the output here.

same problem with final version of Ubuntu 9.10

[QuentinHartman (qhartman)]

This is suddenly affecting me too. Didn't exist on a pre-final Karmic install. Started.... maybe 2 weeks ago? My pci id and "fuser ..." output are the same as Paolo4500's above. The laptop is a Sager NP2092 which I've not had audio problems with before. Installing alsa-backports did not help. The "Hardware" tab in the sound preferences dialog is empty.

What next?

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

Paolo4500, QuentinHartman: if slmodemd is locking your soundcard, kill slmodemd or uninstall sl-modem-daemon.

[QuentinHartman (qhartman)]

Thanks David, disabling slmodemd did the trick for me. I ended up removing it entirely since the odds of me using the modem on this machine are less than zero.

Hi Biji,

Please, if you are still having issues, test 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 450702

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.
