No sound in Ubuntu 9.10 64-bits #9

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. There is just no sound
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to hear something, but the computer is completely mute. (By the
way, I checked everything I could in sound preferences)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bits). My vaio is the VPCF111FX.

Please provide any additional information below.
There is no sound in videos, music, system sounds. It`s the more silent
notebook I ever had. I`m not really sure but I think that I could hear
something with Ubuntu 9.10 32-bits.

That's luckily an easy one.

Just download the new alsa version to "youruser" folder frome here:

ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.22.1.tar.bz2

unzip it (either GUI or in terminal "tar jxvf alsa-driver-1.0.22.1.tar.bz2")

then open the terminal as admin and type those commands one at time:

cd alsa-driver-1.0.22.1
./configure --with-sequencer=yes && make
make install
./snddevices 

Just reboot and You're fine ;-)

I just followed the instructions and now my VPCF111FB has sound. Thanks!

I did the instructions and got audio out, but I still have no mic (either 
line-in or
built-in mic). I know tha the built-in mic is a ways off for a standard fix, 
but I
wish I had line-in. This is also on the F111.

I just installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.31-20-generic to get sound 
working
for me on Karmic 64. Though, no mic.

I can confirm that the fix mentioned by u.longhi also works op openSUSE 11.2 on
kernel 2.6.31. Thanks a lot!

sound works on ubuntu lucid 10.4 after installing the latest alsa drivers 
manually
(as stated above). Strange enough, lucid already has these alsa drivers bundled
(identical vesion). Looks like they compiled'em differently or patched them.

On Lucid, you need to install the package : 
linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic

you guys are awesome with the fixes! lol

it sucks Sony and Ubuntu are having so many issues... I've been running Ubuntu 
on my
Desktop for years and figured I would through it on my laptop as soon as I got 
it
really easily... yeah right. Video Card issues, no sound, no mic support.

At least Linux has a great community that helps one another out!

Thanks for the help!

I also was able to fix my sound issue following the mentioned steps.

I have VPCF11M1E and I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with this driver

ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.23.tar.bz2

I am fine with the "fixed" status, but what is the best way to solve this:

1- hard patching with the alsa driver from FTP (see comment #12) ?
2- install linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic ?

Personnally I used the #2 option, but I don't know if that trick is the best to 
be
applied.

Thanks very much for this fix. Is there a script or can anyone help me with the 
commands to get this fix to stay permanent after a kernel upgrade ?

Thanks.

Yeah, just had an upgrade to the kernel and my sound stopped working.  Had to 
come back to this page to re-adjust/re-build ALSA.  That's definitely not ideal.

Adding VAIO VPCF126FM to the list of F Series laptops that this fix works for.

Jason.Donenfeld, would you mind adding this to the wiki?  (Or add me as 
contributor :D)

Worked for VPCF12M1E/H by installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic 
on Ubuntu 10.04.

@serban.ionica Is mic working in that case?

Hi folks. I have a Sony VAIO VPCEB3S1E and once I installed Ubuntu and had the 
touchpad working (another issue which is solved easily), I downloaded alsa from 
the above mentioned FTP server and compiled it. After restarting the laptop 
there was again no sound. Thankfully the second solution worked fine for me 
(installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic). The mic is also 
working.
