Hey admin, i felt like sharing this as i was learning linux tutorials,i came across this command which resets the gnome settings

Code: Select all

rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity

this solved the audio issue

hi i think i've killed my sound
i have a Creative Titanium soundcard and one of the reasons why i use the Ultimate Edition is that this card worked "out of the box". but yesterday i tried to get my microfone work and after some tries i finnaly got it working.

but after i restarted 10 minutes ago my sound was gone :O
i installed a "alsa-driver-unstable" and hoped it will help to get my microfone work but it haven't. well.... even my ATI HDMI "soundcard" can't be identified

i will restart now in recovery mode and hope it will work there.

does anybody know how i can get my sound back to the standart settings? and well yeah i don't realy have any backups of my system (just one with rsync but i dont know if its complede).

EDIT: Well no sound here, too

hope someone can help me. or would it help to update to Ultimate Edition 2.7?

EDIT2: Ok here are some "outputs" just that you have them^^

You see the "Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe snd_ctxfi""... yeah me too... but see what happens:

xxx@mottiubuntu:~$ modprobe snd_ctxfi
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.

even if i write "sudo modprobe snd_ctxfi" ive messed this up pretty good, or?

Sounds like whatever you did to fix the microphone killed the sound. Try and backtrack what you did and see if you can find the culprit.

As far as upgrading from 2.6 to 2.7 goes. I think it's well worth it. Some of the 2.6 issues were fixed and it runs a lot smoother and faster for me anyway. Besides I love all the apps. in 2.7 since it has all the desktops like KDE, Gnome, LXDE etc...

This part is interesting

Driver Status: snd_hda_intel is not active
Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe snd_hda_intel"

Still goint thru the rest

[Motti]

well ive browsed to "/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/sound/" it was well "empty" just oss was in there o_O
so in my backup was many stuff in there and i just copied all this stuff back there and tried "sudo modprobe snd_ctxfi" awesome it worked
now i just need to know what happend to my micro :O

ok ive sound.... but does it realy worth it to upgrade to 2.7? and is it easy?^^

EDIT: Ok i'll restart now (to get out of the restore mode^^) and hope the sound is still there

Looks like you have 3 audio devices.

xxx@mottiubuntu:/$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc HD48x0 audio
05:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs X-Fi Titanium series [EMU20k2] (rev 03)

Maybe it's a conflict.

I guess 2.7 would mean a fresh install so if you have it working now then not much sense in it if you don't use or want all the rest of what 2.7 has. Personally I like 2.7, it just runs better for me and has all the bells and whistles I have become used to having.

Glad you got it working.
