No Sound after LMDE update [solved]
After updating LMDE , sound is not working. My Sound card is Creative Sound Blaster 5.1VX.
In the panel volume control icon is there and in Sound preferences the sound output hardware is displaying as
'CA0106 Soundblaster Analog Surround 5.1'
I had gone through " HOW TO: Solve your LMDE audio issues " (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=58616) section and applied the changes. But still no working
Thanks in advance

Re: No Sound after LMDE update
Sometimes with Creative cards it happens after updates that 'Tone' is disabled or IEC958 Optical Raw is enabled.
You can check it in alsa-mixer gui whether there are changes like that.

Re: No Sound after LMDE update
I checked, it's enabled there. I think it's some other problem.
In my LM11 installation also sound is not functioning after the update

Re: No Sound after LMDE update
What is enabled, both 'Tone' and 'IEC958 Optical Raw' ? Optical Raw should be disabled.
What do you get with
and
Please check in both Systems, whether the card is recognized.
What do you get with
Code: Select all
cat /proc/asound/cards
Code: Select all
lspci | grep -i audio

Re: No Sound after LMDE update
Hmm, recognized it is. I've been searching around a little bit for your card. Seems like some kernel versions can cause
problems. Where there kernel updates on your systems?

Re: No Sound after LMDE update
Kernel updates are
Linux 2.6.39-2-686-pae
Linux 2.6.38-2-686
Linux 2.6.39-2-686-pae
Linux 2.6.38-2-686
Re: No Sound after LMDE update
Kernel 2.6.39 can be problematic i read. But .38 should work. You've had .38 in LMDE before the update. I only can
assume, your card has a technical defect.
Do you still have the old kernels to boot with? For a test, whether you'll have sound that way?
Another thing you can try is:
The result should look like this:
no matter whether you can hear something or not. If you get sth completely different, your card can't import files from your
filesystem.

Re: No Sound after LMDE update
That does not look good for your card.

Are the packages libgdbm3 and libwrap0 installed? Helpful could be another missing package, lib32asound2-plugins.
You can get it here:
http://packages.debian.org/en/squeeze/l ... d2-plugins
Another thing you can try is using OSS instead of Alsa

Re: No Sound after LMDE update
OSS instead of Alsa is working. Now 2.1 audio is working for me.
Thanks a lot brother.
God bless you
