Fedora 13 No Sound

[pavelthesecond]

Hi,
Just installed fedora 13. Everything is great except for the total lack of sound.

I'm trying to use the onboard audio. motherboard is asus M4A89TD

In alsamixer all of my devices are turned on to max.

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)

when I open pavucontrol, under output devices it lists 'HDA ATI HDMI Digital Stereo (HDMI)' and 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo'. I think the correct device needs to be the the ATI SB one, but is missing from the list. Any ideas?

Hi

I faced the same issue after upgrading to Fedora 13 from 12 on a similar motherboad. This may not be the solution you are looking for but I was able to get my sound working by booting with Fedora 12 kernel.

Looks like the issue is with 2.6.33 kernel comes with fedora 13.

Cheers,
S

The card seems to use the snd_hda_intel-driver so maybe you'll have to specify which card you got. See this thread:http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=242413 and this wikipage:http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenr...nd-workarounds

In sound preferrences(right click on the speaker icon) in the tab "hardware" there is a test speakers now.

Things to look:

alsamixer (see if masster is unmuted)
alsamixer -c 0 or
alsamixer -Dhw (make sure Master and PCM are unmuted)

pactl list (see if everything is unmuted and connected to the right places better to see the connections with pavucontrol)

A GUI to all those things that get hidden is gmixer.

In pavucontrol make sure that the playing streams in the playing tab are using the same output name in the output tab

Well this is embarrassing,
After spending another couple of hours fiddling around with
every sound related app I could find, I managed to fix it.
Kmix -> settings -> select master channel -> internal audio analog.
thank all for your help.

A second issue with the sound is that is it very quiet. I turned all the knobs to 100% and the audio level (system sounds) are still faint. I think this might actually be an issue with this motherboard because I have the same problem when booting into windows. Anyone with this modo experienced this?

[AdamW]

the 'internal audio' is indeed what you want. The other one is for use if you're connecting a display via HDMI and also want to send audio via the HDMI link.

[davidalan]

I had the same problem with no sound in fedora 13.

Here was my solution.

run alsamixer.

hit the F6 key.

choose your sound card (in my case it was Intel HDA).


I hope this helps someone else - this thread comes up when you google "no sound in fedora 13".

[Tornike]

What kernel is failing? I had the same problem couldn't figure out what was wrong every setting was at 100% but still the sound was only in headphones and very very low. It looks like 2.6.33 has some issues installing 2.6.34 has cleared that fault.

[DeadBride]

Hi there.

Sorry for bad English... And also I'm pretty new to Linux...
I've just installed Fedora 13 and have an issue - there is no sound when I plug acoustic system or headphones to my laptop (sound through laptop's speaker works well). Configuring sound preferences does nothing, using alsamixer I see Headphones section disabled Did anybody face with the same problem? If any details are needed I can provide them.

p.s. Previously I used Fedora 12 and there were no such problems with sound

[AdamW]

dead: that's a driver bug with your chip, most likely. Can you please follow the steps at:

? Thanks!

I had the same problem today, my "Internal Audio" was gone.

My Solution was:
In Startup Applications I found two PulseAudio System.

Their name is:
start-pulseaudio-x11 (Gnome)
start-pulseaudio-kde (KDE)

Since I'm using Fedora 13, 32-bit, Gnome, I just unmarked start-pulseaudio-kde and rebooted my computer.
My sound is back.

How to find it:
Click on Your Name in the upper right corner
System Preferences
Startup Applications
Unmark the version of PulseAudio you dont use
Reboot the computer.

[valeraXirkutsk]

Also folks, look at SPDIF setting in your alsamixer configuration

code:

1. alsamixer -c 0
2. press F6
3. choose your card
4. ran any song / music in a player
5. press -->> until you find SP_DF setting
6. press 'm' key

NOW it goes!

7.save setting (though not always working : (( )
alsactl store

me too the prblm

I had this problem on a Panasonic Let's note CF-Y7 dual boot system running Fedora 13 and x86_64 and Windows XP Service Pack 3. The problem occurs when exiting Windos with the sound muted and then booting into Linux. There appears to be no way to unmute the system in Linux. However, if you return to Windows, unmute the sound and reboot into Linux, everything is fine. I guess this is a hardware specific problem.
