Sound from speakers and headphones not working on Julia

[Inoki]

Hi lads,

got this problem since using Julia. When i connect my headphones or speakers to my laptop the sound still only comes from the laptop, not the speakers nor headphones. While all my previous issues with Mint got resolved with Julia, in Isadora at least playing sound from speakers worked partially, because still I got sound from speakers.

The issue hasn't been solved even after playing with several settings including Gnome Alsa Mixer also. Any suggestions?

HI jhoiemarie!
Run in a terminal / konsole:

Code: Select all

aplay -l

where "l" is a little "L" like list and

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

Afterwards

Code: Select all

alsamixer

-> F6 ->
choose your sound card and push up the buttons, choose the Mic (Digital? Front?) you have
or try each one, if you don't know which one is yours.

,hi lauren..
when i typed in the command aplay -l, the result was No soundcard found.

Hi!
At the moment I only have one idea: Anyway start

Code: Select all

alsamixer

I suppose you can choose "default" (and if displayed other cards later on) and push up all buttons and test if you have sound.

,oh too bad..alsamixer does not work either..it says: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory.
i am really having Linux this bad.

[lauren]

Hi!
That's strange. Let's try the following:

Code: Select all

gnome-alsamixer

the answer should be like mine:

Code: Select all

The program 'gnome-alsamixer' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

I suppose, "gnome-alsamixer" is not installed and you see the reaction above or "gnome-alsamixer" will run.
If you get an answer like the reaction of typing "alsamixer", then your installation (or a part) could have failed.

This appears to be a configuration issue rather than a hardware detection issue. Perhaps my cure will work for you:
1. click on the mint 'menu'
2. click on 'control centre'
3. click on 'startup applications' in 'personal' section
4. scroll down to the SECOND 'pulseaudio' startup task and uncheck it
5. restart system

So can anybody help me?

[Inoki]

bump, any ideas?
