Sound wont work on ubuntu?

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 12, 2016

My sound is not working at all..its not a hardware problem, Everything is in but for some reason it dont hear anything. Help

Will need to know more than this.

Please list your full system specs, including model numbers and OS version.

Is this a new install and/or build?

JQB45 · Mar 12, 2016

Did you go into your hardware settings/system settings, then sound to check the volumes were correct and the right output device was selected?

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 12, 2016

New build and i have: AMD A8 7600, 8GB DDR3,1600MHZ, And the os version is 15.10. motherboard model is gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-H. Thank you

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 12, 2016

Yeah its selected but not working

Geekwad · Mar 12, 2016

Have you connected to the internet and let it go through all of its update rounds?

Most times this will update the drivers, if necessary, and correct a fresh install.

You may need to head to the AMD site though and get the Ubuntu driver and install manually though:

Nope didn't work

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 12, 2016

In Windows I had sound issues when using HDMI for the display, once I witched to DSUB or DVI the sound issues were resolved.

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 12, 2016

Any other ideas?

How are the speakers connected... hdmi, line out, usb?

I haven't used regular Ubuntu, but in other versions the drill is to open sound settings and turn-off all devices except the one you are using. Turn them off, don't set them as fallback.

Man this is really annoying..Idk why this is happening. I just wanna game with sound

spankmon · Mar 12, 2016

If the hdmi is plugged into a TV, you might need to turn off the TV then back on so it will re-detect the connection.

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 12, 2016

Its a monitor

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 12, 2016

And tried that already

skittle · Mar 13, 2016

Check that your channels are not muted in alsamixer and that the correct output is selected in pulse audio. I use pavucontrol

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 13, 2016

So many people told me to check if its muted..its 100% not. I tried everything i could. do u think its a hardware problem?

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 13, 2016

Spent 2 days trying to figure this out..I cant

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 13, 2016

any other solutions?

My work machine (an AMD machine) has the exact same issue, but only under 15.10. I tried everything I could for a few hours and gave up. I went back to 14.04 and everything was fine again.

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 13, 2016

How would I downgrade?

Lee-m · Mar 13, 2016

AMDFanboy_1 :

I just saved my files, and trashed the install. I don't think there is a reliable/easy method to downgrade.

But maybe some one else will give you better advice. All I can tell you is what happened when I got this issue.

skittle · Mar 13, 2016

Can you post output of "sudo aplay -L" You can test the sound with alsa directly with program speaker-test:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/Speaker-test
probably it is included by default on ubuntu.

I have two AMD cards running sound through hdmi (ubuntu 15.10, archlinux and OpenELEC) with the default opensource drivers with DTS/AC3 pass through as well as 2.0 PCM sound to TV no problem.

AMDFanboy_1 · Mar 14, 2016

I cant figure this out still (accidently pressed the solution button). Yes it detects my card when you check for hardware. I give up
