No sound. please help (II)

[MrEen]

Ahh, sorry about that. Try it this way:

Code: Select all

sudo hdajacksensetest -d 2 -a

[MrEen]

And that has lead to the possible source of the issue.

Your built-in sound card is card 0 device 2, but PulseAudio is looking at card 0 device 0. Try this in the terminal then play some sound:

Code: Select all

pacmd load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2

You'll probably need to look in your sound settings for a new sink (output) to use after running that.

well after running this, the connection sound which happens when plugging in or plugging out the cord, that is back... but audio isnt coming out still, both terminal results are the same

Code: Select all

Wow.

At least it sounds like we're getting close. If you've rebooted since your last post run this again:

Code: Select all

pacmd load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2

Then this one again:

Code: Select all

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/raw/master/src/utils/pa-info?inline=false | bash | nc termbin.com 9999

I can't understand why this isn't working properly, try these:

Code: Select all

pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1b.0 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo

Code: Select all

pacmd set-sink-port alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo analog-output-lineout

Code: Select all

pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo

Code: Select all

aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Any sound doing that?

And if/when it fails, paste the output of pacmd list-sinks again please.

[MrEen]

Let's also see the complete output of inxi -Fxz please.

And I have a wild idea now. I've mainly told people to delete their ~/.asoundrc file when they have one, but your case is special.

In the terminal run touch ~/.asoundrc followed by xed ~/.asoundrc and when the file opens paste this in:

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
        type hw
        card 0
        device 2
}

ctl.!default {
        type hw           
        card 0
        device 2
}

Save the file, reboot then test your sound.

EDIT: Oops, you should also delete an earlier edit we made with this:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-realtek.conf

Do that before rebooting and testing.

There might still be the issue of jack detection, but I'm hoping not.

may be it is a hardware problem???

[MrEen]

I can't really say if it's a hardware issue at all. The BIOS tells the OS what is where, and that could be the source of the trouble, but I'm somewhat doubting that, as ALSA is reporting different things in different places:

[MrEen]

Does this produce sound:

Code: Select all

aplay -D hw:0,2 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

[sinha_spandan]

Does this produce sound:

Code: Select all

aplay -D hw:0,2 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Code: Select all

aplay -D hw:0,2 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
aplay: main:830: audio open error: No such file or directory

but the sound files are there.


maybe the audio directory is missing???

[MrEen]

I'm suspecting that error is referring to the hardware reference we gave it, hw:0,2. I'm baffled why ALSA is putting up this fight, and seemingly ignoring the ~/.asoundrc file we created.

Go into your BIOS when you have a chance and see if you can disable the sound there. Do that for one boot, then enable it again on the next boot. You might also want to check if there's a BIOS update available for your machine.

Ok, i'll post what happens

[MrEen]

Good luck.

I'm off to bed now, so it'll be another day before I can reply again.

there were two options related to audio
