Public bug reported: After formatting my Feisty installation to install the Gusty Tribe 4, sound no longer works on my machine. My sound card is detected, however, the "wave" device itself does not show up in the mixer or the Sound preferences window. I'm using an ASUS P5WD2, which is an Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller. I tried the steps defined in SoundTroubleShooting (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting), which has you purge the linux-sound-base and alsa, then reinstall. This has not worked for me. Pressing the Test button in Sound Preferences brings up this message:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed. Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer. At first, this seemed to be inline with Bug #129511, but that turned out to be user error. The only applications I have installed besides those provided with the standard desktop install is XGL (with proprietary ATI drivers enabled) to run Compiz Fusion, but I don't remember hearing any sound before installing XGL, so I don't XGL is the issue. I did run gconf-editor once to put icons on my desktop and I noticed a few errors in the terminal window that said something about "esd not found". I don't know if this is helpful, but the is the output of "aplay -l": **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 2: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC882 Analog [ALC882 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC882 Digital [ALC882 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 ** Affects: gstreamer (upstream) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: gstreamer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- No Sound in Gusty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
