SOLVED! No sound via pulseaudio

Post by Efinitix »

For some reason, I'm not receiving any sound via PulseAudio through HDMI or my onboard sound card intel-HD I've tried everything I can possibly think of searching google, Reddit and I'm at a loss. This is my current pulse config.

Hi Efinitix, and welcome to the forum.

Please paste back the output of running inxi -Fxz and aplay -l in the terminal. Also, start a song or video then run pacmd list-sinks in the terminal and include those results as well along with mentioning how you were trying to hear sound (headphone, HDMI, etc.) Thanks.

Re: No sound via pulseaudio

Post by MrEen »

Okay. At present your default output is the USB thing (headset?) It mostly appears as though it should be working. Is there an on/off switch on the headset?

Here's what I'd try. Install and run PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol.) On the Configuration tab, you have 3 Profiles you can set. Built-in Audio and USB Audio should be set to Analog Stereo Duplex. The HDMI option depends what you're connected to.

Then go to the Output Devices tab and select the appropriate Ports for the way you're trying to hear sound.

Lastly, on the Playback tab, while sound is playing, you may be able to change what selection sound is currently playing to.

This should all make sense once you see it all. For instance, sound might be playing to the USB headset when you were expecting to hear it over HDMI.

Re: No sound via pulseaudio

Post by MrEen »

Okay, let's try HDMI first. On the Configuration tab of pavucontrol, select something like Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output. Then on the Output Devices tab, you should have available something like HDMI/DisplayPort. Click on the check mark next to this selection to set it as default. Start a song or video. If it's not coming through the monitor, look at the Playback tab. Is it playing to the appropriate device? Do a pacmd list-sinks in the terminal again if this is still not working.

Hi.

I've got the same problem so rather than starting a new post (maybe I should) I wondered if I can jump in here and ask for assistance.

Here's what happened: I had unplugged the speaker jack and then plugged it back in after XFCE had booted. Since then, no sound. As per the OP I played with the settings, checked sound wasn't muted etc., rebooted - still nothing. Here's the output from the terminal following MrEen's suggestion:

I'm trying to listen straight via the speakers plugged in through the front port of my Lenovo H50-55 desktop. The dual-booted cinnamon has no problems with audio playback.

I'd very much appreciate any advice you can give.

Hi deanr72.

Run PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol.) On the Output Devices tab click on the check mark next to the Headphones Port. Right now, sound is trying to play to the HDMI Port which caused you to lose the sound.
