Also the computer im running it on is a Dell XPS M1210 Laptop

[TenLeftFingers (tenleftfingers)]

Thanks for the report. This page gives some troubleshooting hints that may help. But more importantly, it shows you what other files the developers need to work on your report.

All the best,
Jarlath

[JenniferHodgdon (yahgrp)]

Jarlath - Which page gives troubleshooting hints? Your message doesn't list a page. I would be glad to troubleshoot. I am going to start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

Anyway, I have the same problem on my laptop, and it looks like I have the same sound card as this bug reporter, but it's an Everex StepNote 2053 computer (not Dell). Similar lspci output to what is listed above.

[JenniferHodgdon (yahgrp)]

OK, I found the aadebug script. I am attaching the output.

[JenniferHodgdon (yahgrp)]

I started running the "Hardware Test" utility. The test sound didn't play. During the video test, something strange happened, and I cycled the power. When the laptop came back on, sound was working.

Just for kicks, I ran the aadebug script again. There is no difference (aside from the dates) in the output. Hmmm. well, I'm not going to worry about it any more...

[TenLeftFingers (tenleftfingers)]

Hi Jennifer,

Sorry I left out the link in my last post. I should stop working with bug reports after midnight I think! But you found the link I had intended to include.

I'm glad you got your setup working. I'm going to mark the bug as invalid since we can't debug any further, but if that changes, just message back and we can open it again.

Regards,
Jarlath

[TenLeftFingers (tenleftfingers)]

Marking as invalid as the reporter is no longer experiencing the bug.

[TenLeftFingers (tenleftfingers)]

More than one report, so re-opening.

[JenniferHodgdon (yahgrp)]

Just a quick comment. I found that sound works for me after a reboot, but stops working after a suspend/restart cycle in Hardy. I filed a separate bug report on that subject. Sorry if I confused the issue here by thinking I had completely non-working sound! (The other one is Bug #228020)

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Please issue the following command in a Terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset

Is sound audible after issuing that command?

[JenniferHodgdon (yahgrp)]

This command has no effect on my problem. Here's what I did:

1. Reboot
2. Play the "ubuntu Sax.ogg" example file (which came with Ubuntu) to verify that sound is working.
3. Suspend using the Gnome desktop menu item.
4. Restart by hitting the space bar.
5. Try to play the sound again -- no sound is coming out.
6. Issue sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset command. Screen says * Resetting ALSA... [OK]
7. Try playing the sound again -- no sound is coming out.

[JenniferHodgdon (yahgrp)]

There is some more debugging in Bug #228020 that you might want to check out.

[Doug Broadie (dbroadie)]

I tried your "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset" command and got the following:

dbroadie@DougLinux:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset
[sudo] password for dbroadie:
 * Resetting ALSA... amixer: Invalid command!
                                                                         [ OK ]
dbroadie@DougLinux:~$

I have tried the sound troubleshooting for sound troubles and this is close.

I have no sound on login or any programs.

I have dual boot computer with windows and the windows works just fine. So did gutsy.

I can send you all my terminal readout if you need.

[JenniferHodgdon (yahgrp)]

Doug - That reset command was aimed at people who had sound at startup, but it went away after a suspend/wake cycle, which is really a separate bug.

However, your bug is more serious, and actually corresponds to this bug report. To help the Ubuntu folks check into it, you might want to attach the aadebug script output for your machine, and say waht type of machine you are using.

[irvken (seankenny)]

I'm having the same issue (among others) after upgrade to Hardy Heron from my preinstalled Dell Inspiron 1525, where do I find the aadebug script?

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

SND_PCI_QUIRK(PCI_VENDOR_ID_DELL, 0x01d7, "Dell XPS M1210", STAC_922X_DELL_M82), appears in patch_sigmatel.c, so there's definitely a quirk in place as far as upstream alsa-kernel git is concerned. This quirk corresponds to model=dell-m82. Are you using any model quirks in /etc/modprobe.d*/*?

[Greg Teppic (greg-zemarmot)]

I had a similar problem and a "aptitude reinstall udev" solved it.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Closing this bug with Won't fix as this kernel / release is no longer supported.
Please feel free to open a new bug report if you're still experiencing this on a newer release (Bionic 18.04.3 / Disco 19.04)
Thanks!
