sound card problems

[DanielMii666]

I used this morning 'front' and 'elitist' LIVE. ...No sound! why?

Hi Daniel, first make sure sound in the "sound menu" is not muted.
If not muted run command

Code: Select all

sudo alsactl init

Then see if sound is working. If still no sound please post output of

Code: Select all

 "lspci" and "uname -a"

Only one kind of onboard soundcard is known to need external drivers which are already packed in BBQ.

Open a terminal, enter:

Code: Select all

lspci --nnk|grep Audio

If it shows "Maestro" or "ESS" skip to Option 2.

Code: Select all

bbqfix

Option 1)
Choose "Reset and test soundcard" and press Enter
Wait a moment, then a mixer opens
Press Cursor Up and Down to regulate the sound, choose channels with Cursor Left and Right
Press Esc when you finished

Option 2)
If you use a Maestro/ESS card (lspci --nnk|grep Audio) you need to choose "Fix Maestro/ESS soundcards" in the menu. After this, go through Option 1)

There is no sound menu on 'Proof' BBQ / can't find it :(

[machinebacon]

In Proof you add a volume icon to the panel by right-clicking on the panel and adding the mixer.

Code: Select all

ins xfce4-mixer

at any rate, you can just open a terminal and type 'alsamixer'. plus do what other people said already :)

I tried that and nothing works. All i hear is a big numing sound, like a big amplifier but not actual sound here.

I tried all the above tips

Any other things I should test or try?

The humming you hear comes from your microphone and/or mic boost.

Check post #2, we can't guess what your sound card is.
