Need some sound advice.

[mowens01]

Hi has anyone else had problems with their speakers not working? I noticed it when I was trying to watch a youtube video. The sound will not work in amarok as well. When I plug my headphones in they will work though. I did a search and found some people had a bug, but wasn't sure if that was my problem since the headphones worked thanks in advance for the help. Running an Asus eee pc 1215N with a 1.8Ghz dualcore atom 2gb rab 250gb hd and 10.10 kubuntu. Also i dual boot Win7 and it uses Realtek Hd audio if that helps. Thanks again.

Re: Need some sound advice.

I had some issues with Amarok when I first got 10.10, and I posted a question about how to make Amarok work. Perhaps this could help you some:

look in kmix .....click he speaker icon in the system tray then click mixer then settings then configure channels .

make sure you have master and PCM and eney others that look pertinent dragged into the side marked visible and their up.

if you don't see them their open a terminal and check with

alsamixer

I tried to install the extras for amarok like you suggested and I am stuck on what to do on this screen in the terminal.

Thanks Vinny, I also looked in the channel settings and there were no options there, but if I can the command in the terminal I could see what you were talking about. How do I get those channel options into Kmix? Its weird when I was going through the grub install fix for my laptop I had to boot from a usb and the sound worked then.

Re: Need some sound advice.

alsa mixer in the terminal can be used with the arrow key's to highlight a Chanel and adjust volume M togels mute on and off and esc to close it.

what ver of kubuntu and KDE are on the usb you booted to fix grub and what ver. are you running now on the install.

at 1 point during a KDE upgrade pulse took over the sound system hear and I lost the controls in Kmix ........cant remember what I did to change it........but theirs a thread on it some ware......maybe search pulse.

That was my first thought! (Advice on sound I can give you. Sound advice? Probably not.)

Re: Need some sound advice.

I used 10.10 on the usb and whatever version of kde it came with. That is what I installed as well.
