no sound in ubuntu 8.10 on AD1986 sound card

no sound in ubuntu 8.10 on AD1986 sound card

[sandip gangakhedkar]

Hi all,

I am facing a very perplexing issue with sound in Ubuntu 8.10 which I have
never encountered before with linux. I do not hear any sound from my
speakers. The sound card is AD 1986 (Analog Devices) and it worked
wonderfully without any hiccups before on 8.10 and other Ubuntu versions.

My alsa-info script is here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=7f34b4e28d97178d7f709740f91ff66ea08a9468

I suspect pulseaudio is the culprit:
Output of : /var/log/syslog | grep pulseaudio is here:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/192629/

Running : speaker-test -c2 -D hw:0,0 -t wav -l1 gives no sound.

My motherboard is ASUS A8N-VM on a AMD 64 Athlon 3200 Desktop PC.The sound
card is detected so no problems there.

I have reinstalled ALSA, pulseaudio and all the related packages but to no
avail.

I am pretty sure this is not a problem of inadeuate support because sound
was working before without any issues.

Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this problem will be greatly
appreciated. I am also raising an email bug report at alsa-devel so anyone
can canter around there and provide expert help :)

Thanks,

Sandip

Getting alsa-info.sh on the working version to compare with the
non-working one would be really helpful to find out the difference.
Adjust the mixer in the same level as much as possible.

That's quite inconvenient since I'll have to install a fresh version of
Ubuntu..if that is the case I might as well just reinstall Ubuntu! I think
the problem is in pulseaudio..I hope it is possible to debug based on the
info provided.

Thanks.

Live CDs are your friend.

If you think it's a PA issue, why not just stop PA and then try to play music 
and see if it works?

Your 'PCM' is muted - is that intentional? Also, unless you're explicitly
using digital out, you should mute 'IEC958'. Lastly, if you're using
headphones, unmute that element, too.
