No sound on Dual-boot, Pentium 4 system

Asked by Dean von Germeten

A friend set me up with dual-boot Windows XP/Ubuntu but I'm gravitating to the latter for all the headaches with Windows.
I tried listening to a midi file and get no sound. Totem Movie Player loads, lots of pretty graphics, sound slider is full, not muted. (I can't seem to find my system hardware info in Ubuntu.) Also when I visit Youtube it always says "Video not available."

Hi ,
did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?

Please open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and paste this command

----------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
----------------------------------------------------------------

When command complete , try again to listen your file .

Thanks

Hi NikTh:

I ran your command, a lot happened but no, the sound still isn't there. My headphones do work on the WinXP side so i'm sure it's not hardware, more likely a configuration/settings, or as you suggested, a packages issue. I'm totally wet and clueless when it comes to linux.

(No, I did not reboot; should I?)

Hi ,

i must misunderstood . I thought you cannot play a specific sound file .

Don't have sound at all ?

Open a terminal and give this command

--------------
alsamixer
-------------

Try to see if something is muted [MM]. If it is then un-mute with "m" key. You can navigate with arrow keys (right-left) and volume up-down with arrow keys (up-down). Exit with "Esc".

Please execute step 2, then send us the full terminal output from step 3
and step 4 from this procedure:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known).

Can you give the output of:

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh

Thanks

Please bear with me because I have NO IDEA what you're talking about. Just turning on a linux computer presumes a much more knowledgeable person than you're talking to here. I don't know how to save script of packages run. I visited the alsa page, saved and opened the file which is lots of text, no clue how to run it.

My computer is a Gateway (model unknown) Pentium 4, 2.4Ghz ACPI multi-processor with 1.23GB of ram.

Your issue is with sound, so the CPU and RAM are of zero value to the question.

Copy the command I gave and press cTRL+ALT+T
Paste the command to the terminal and hit ENTER
Select to upload to the server and a URL willbe made, copy the URL and paste it here as an update.

Thanks

Mr. Actionparsnip:

I didn't understand you because the command was long and the url highlighted. I did what you said, my info is below. Thank you...

Dear Mark Rijckenberg:

Apparently I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 (reinstalled to restore lost partitions); the page you mentioned said it's no longer supported. Where can I get the latest versions? Thank you!

Yes, Maverick is dead. You can get Precise (Ubuntu 12.04 which is LTS (Supported til 2017)):

Dear Actionparsnip;

Yes i visited the page and saw that info but ran another script that said Ubuntu 10/Maverick is no longer supported? I don't know how to give it sound, even after reading the above. I'm not a programmer and it could take me a while to pick up on this stuff.

Yes Maverick support ended 10th April 2012.
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Releases

You should upgrade (preferably with a clean install) to Precise (Ubuntu 12.04). Who said you needed to be a programmer?

Dear Actionparsnip:

Thank you, I downloaded it, now must burn to disk. I'm concerned how it will affect current partitions as I don't want to lose my WindowsXP or other files just yet.

You will need to delete the current Linux partitions and then install to the free space. If your files are a worry, run a fulll backup before starting

That's very scary. I will wait till my tech buddy stops by, I don't trust my skills to do this by myself. You may not hear back from me for a while. Thank you and all, for your help so far.

Dear Friends:

I apologize for the hiatus. I was a bit overwhelmed with the instructions you gave me given my inexperience. Then tonight Ubuntu gave me the option to upgrade to 11.1 which I did (no reconfigs or partition changes on my part needed.) Anyway still no sound. I followed some of your advice, ran a script and the results are here:

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=131cfb12f0df6b37444f14a3f413a4bcdadd42e7

If you could help me make further sense, I'd be most grateful.

Do you use the onboard sound or the PCI device, seems the system has 2 sound cards....

Wow. You solved it. Yes I was using a separate sound-card because when i set up the computer with XP the motherboard port didn't work at the time for who-knows-why. I switched to the motherboard sound port using Ubuntu and there was sound. THANK YOU!
