Ubuntu 16.04: Sound and video problems - Ask Ubuntu
i updated ubuntu 16.04 while ago , haven't gotten sound work ever since. oddly enough, there's sound when start computer, none afterwards. there no sound output devices detected:
in addition, @ point, volume indicator disappeared task bar, , there's no check box in sound settings put back.
when run aplay -i
, nothing appears. @ 1 point, tried suggested in this article on unixmen.com, including unmuting in alsamixer
, reinstalling alsa , pulseaudio
, , updating sound drivers (although i'm really, worried might have made problem worse), , got sound work while, when restarted later, stopped working again.
how can fix this?
please let me know if there's other information can provide - problem has been plaguing me past few months.
- the command display soundcards
aplay -l
notaplay -i
- as there sound @ startup , try disable speech-dispatcher running
sudo update-rc.d -f speech-dispatcher remove
, reboot - if no luck, disable pulseaudio testing, can check if underlaying alsa driver works fine. run 3 commands::
mkdir ~/.pulse
echo autospawn=no > ~/.pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio -k
audio softwares use alsa: test sound (check volumes , mute using alsamixer or install "alsamixergui ").
if ok, pulseaudio broken : reset with
mv ~/.config/pulse ~/.config/pulseold
echo autospawn=yes > ~/.pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio
launch pulseaudio new configuration ,test again.
