no sound after upgrade to 9.04 2 soundcards. both dont work

**UPDATE playblack does nto work under alsa it work under the Open Sound System OSS but it still only works for local files

Try making sure ALSA isn't muted. Use the alsamixer tool to verify all channels are unmuted.

You should see a 'MM' or a 'OO' at the bottom of each channel. 'MM' means that both left and right channels are muted and 'OO' means that both right and left channels are open.

i did that all ready ran alsamixer and i used M to unmute every channel

ok i fixed this issue thanks to endless screwing with it. ill explain just incase any one has this issue. first i went to system-->preferences--> sound changed everything to pulse audio, changed my mixer to ICEnsemble 1724 alsa
then i loaded the pulse audio sound server. opened volume control and changed everythhing to use ICEnsemble 1724 as default by click the dropdown arrop next to the shield. and i hit play in music got music and video sound and had my speakers all teh way up opened youtube and scared my self half to death.

What are the exact steps to "load the pulse audio server". I googled around and thought that modifying /etc/default/pulseaudio and changing PULSEAUDIO_SYSTEM_START=1 (from 0) and then stopping then starting the service via the commands /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop & /etc/init.d/pulseaudio would solve my problem of not hearing sound on Youtube.

YouTube stated working after I performed the above steps, but then all system sounds (like when I log in) and DVD sound stopped working. Also, any selections on the PulseAudio Applet gave me errors.

I have one sound card and I just upgraded to 9.04. In 8.10 all audio worked great.

Suggestions?

Sorry, I feft off the question mark from my last post: What are the steps to "load the pulse audio server"?

Thanks,
Scott

hay scott what you need to do is install the applet.

sudo apt-get install padevchooser

then after its installed it needs to be ran

alt+f2 then type in padevchooser and press enter

you will see it apear in the taskbar as an icon
left click on it and choose preferences and then check the box for start applet on session login.

now you need to clikc on it again and choose volume control and then you can follow my step above let me know if that helps

Thanks unixchaos for working with me.

I haven't been able to get things working.

Under Sound, Devices tab I have:

3 capture selections and
HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)
Playback: HDA Intel - ALC883 Analog (PulseAudio Mixer)
Playback: Simultaneous output to HDA Intel - ALC883 Analog (PulseAudio Mixer)
Realtek ALC882 (OSS Mixer)

Regardless of which of the 4 I select above, the only selection that shows up in the Output Devices tab under Volume Control with the Hardware Output devices selected is
HDA Intel - ALC883 Analog

Under the Input Devices with Hardware Input Devices selected, I only see
HDA Intel - ALC883 Analog

It seems strange to me that none of the other 3 show up in either of these 2 tabs.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Scott

con't from last post:

When I change the Default Mixer Tracks to one of the above 7, I would expect to see that in the Output Devices tab of Volume Control. In every case only HDA Intel - ALC883 Analog shows up. Unless I am not understanding something, this seems broke to me.

Do you agree?

Thanks,
Scott

I won't have a chance to be in front of my system until later this evening. I will try you then.

Thanks unixchaos.

I had two problems which I solved. Both problems didn't exist in 8.10. The problems first showed up and persisted when I upgraded to 9.04

Problem 1) Desktop #1 (32 bit Pentium D) had no sound while watching YouTube videos. All system sound, sound from DVD and sound from Rythmbox worked during this time. Also during this time, I noticed that when Firefox played one complete video on YouTube or when I tried to switch to another video while the original was playing - Firefox would crash and a 'Force Quit' was necessary. Again, this playing of video was without sound.

Problem 2) Desktop #2 (64 bit AMD Quad Core) could not play a video on YouTube. During this time, I could play a DVD no problem.

I think I read on a site somewhere that Flash could not automatically be reinstalled because of rules governing the fact that it's not open source. In other words, I don't think Canonical is allowed to uninstall and then reinstall during an upgrade. If Canonical could, then I wouldn't have ever seen the above problems. However, the user is allowed to uninstall and reinstall. So, I typed the following two commands below and it fixed the above problems perfectly:

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree
$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree

thanks u very much to everybody who help me , now my Jaunty can play all audio files, my configure on sound tab is :
Sound Event : Autodetect
Sound Pyaback : Autodetect
Audio conferencing : Pulseaaudio sound server
Sound capture : ALSA ADVANCE LINUX SOUND ARCHITECTURE
Default Mixer Tracks

THANKS ALL OF YOU....
