WOW. Pulse started but didn't repopulate the config dir?
Maybe we have some permissions issues. Run this:

We may need to follow that with
sudo killall pulseaudio and pulseaudio --start once more.Re: No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
You're not running the terminal window as root, correct?
EDIT: Nevermind, I see you're not.

Re: No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
I've tried all this stuff earlier today and am exactly where I was with it. Just can't get it to work. I thought maybe your holding my hand might bring something new to the "game" but I've been there done that. Earlier I also ran a command that repopulated the .config/pulse folder ... can't remember what it was now (maybe -k) ... anyway, I was a bit surprised you didn't suggest repopulating the folder somehow once contents were deleted. But anyway, all the stuff I tried before ... and before starting this tread with a fresh 19.2 Mate install.
Re: No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
If there's a ~/.pulse file, delete it. You shouldn't have it and it causes issues just like this. One crept onto my machine once.
Re: No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
pulseaudio -k kills the RUNNING daemon, which with default settings should start up again automatically. Yours wasn't running until the last pulseaudio --start, and that SHOULD have repopulated the config dir.
Re: No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
Nope, no ~/.pulse file
2 files have popped up on their own in the ~/.config/pulse foler ... a default-sink file and a default-source file

Let's see the output of these:
And:
Code: Select all
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*Code: Select all
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wavRe: No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
And I'm thinking the second is going to get the config dir fully repopulated.

I'm going to have to leave for a bit. Run the alsa-info script as instructed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo
I'll check in later to read the output.
Sorry it's been this much effort!!
At least your last outputs were normal. No errors. I'll be back when I can.

Thank you for your valuable time and assistance. Much more than anyone could ask or hope for. Greatly appreciated. I need a break too. Been working on this for 11 hours now.

Re: No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
Installed the latest 5.0 series kernel like Pjotr suggested (was running 4.15.0-62) and NOW SOUND IS WORKING !!!
I strongly suspect it was also necessary to run all the tweaks MrEen suggested in order to get all the files and such aligned with the "moon and stars" but can't be sure. Bottom line though is that after everything else, sound still didn't work until I just now installed the latest 5.0 series kernel.
Guess I could slick the drive, reinstall 19.2 and just install the latest 5.0 series kernel to see if that's all it was ... nah. If it ain't broke don't fix it LOL. THANKS GUYS !!! Greatly appreciated !!!
EDIT: Both the build-in speakers AND headset has sound now. Couple of other things popped up too after the 5.0 series kernel install. Bluetooth icon in the system tray wasn't there before and is now. I can access the MicroSD card (added to expand storage) when I couldn't before. Who knows what else may have also been corrected. I think these little ATOM powered cheap lapbooks just "like" the 5.0 series kernel best. WIN !!!
Re: [SOLVED] No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
So glad you're fixed!
I remember reading that eventually all that UCM stuff will all be in the kernel, but I'm pretty sure it was going to be at least 5.2 if not later. The git you copied is from the main Intel guy that works on Linux sound issues. Most of that site is now getting old, so I guess all his work is now going directly into the kernel. So it is possible the kernel upgrade alone may have fixed you. As it fixed other things as well for you is fantastic.
The next user with similar hardware that has no sound I'll recommend just the kernel upgrade first and see what happens.
Thanks for hanging in there! It sooo helps future users when people don't just give up.
Enjoy your new hardware!

Re: [SOLVED] No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
Thanks MrEen !!! I do know the bytcr-rt5651 file wasn't where it should be until the UCM clone and file movement. How much of the other stuff was needed, I just don't know of course. At least it did all came together and didn't end in a cluster. Whatever you suggested sure as heck didn't hinder it from working with the 5.0 series kernel and that's for sure. Just so glad for the dedicated help you guys give. Humble thank you.
Re: [SOLVED] No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
OH ... and as to when the kernels were being optimized for ATOM powered tablets and lapbooks ... I thought the later 4.15 kernels were, since May or June or so LOL. That's why I didn't pin hope on the 5.0 series. Little did I know HA !!!
Re: [SOLVED] No Sound MATE 19.2 Fusion5 Lapbook T50
And at this point, it's not really possible to say. I'm just happy it's working.
Big thanks to Pjotr for adding the kernel suggestions! And I'd like to add to his other suggestion that pavucontrol is excellent for configuring sound cards and settings. For some users with more "normal" hardware, the simple act of installing pavucontrol has sometimes fixed their sound issues without even touching the application itself.
Take care!
