Where's my sound gone?!

Recommended Posts

Today when I booted into 9.0, as I do almost every day, I had no sound - not an every day occurence.

 

All necesary services are running - and my speakers are plugged in. What cuold cause sound to suddenly stop working overnight with my not having done anything?!

What is dmesg?

 

Everyting is plugged in properly - I can see a power light o the top of my speak so I know that is has power - seriously, I have done nothing since last night (when sound was working) but this morning everything all sound is dead

 

Very frustrating

OK - just did an lsmod and noticed that the module for my soundcard isn't loaded (es1371) so I tried to load it using insmod - with the folowing results:

 

Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-24mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o.gz

/lib/modules/2.4.19-24mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o.gz: unresolved symbol ac97_probe_codec_R84601c2b

/lib/modules/2.4.19-24mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o.gz: unresolved symbol gameport_unregister_port_R70daab68

/lib/modules/2.4.19-24mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o.gz: unresolved symbol gameport_register_port_R98692e58

 

I have no idea how to sort these unresolved symbols out - any ideas anyone?

result of modprobe:

 

/lib/modules/2.4.19-24mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o.gz: init_module: No such device

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

     You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-24mdk/kernel/drivers/sound/es1371.o.gz failed

modprobe: insmod es1371 failed

I had tried that - but this time I did it from the command line so that I could see the results - which are:

 

Doing alsactl to store mixer settings...                        [  OK  ]

Shutting down ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.0rc2): no. (sound i[FAILED]used by pid 1749 )

snd-ens1371: Device or resource busy

Have you done rmmod before modprobe(suppose so)...

 

Have you tried another driver with draksound(It gives me the choice between 2 drivers, one is not so good as the other). I had that shutdownproblem also ones with mu mouse, because I used the wrong mousesettings/driver...

I had some problems with my sound ones because an app wasn't working properly I think. See if any apps are running that you use your sound normaaly with and kill them. if so, check afterwards sound in the kdecontrolcenter and you app maybe works fine again

OK - I have sound back - what I did was as follows:

 

1) noticed that job 1749 was mentioned in previous output - so I killled it. This turned outto be a dock app that I've used for ages to control volume

2) rmmod snd-en1371, which was a module I hadn't come across before

3) modprobe es1371 - all working again

 

I have had problems with my printer which led me to play with the hardware list in drakconf. This leads me to suspect that draksound (which I opened, did nothing with and click "OK") may have caused theproblem in the first place.

 

My issue now is how to stop it happening again as I suspsect that I will get the same problem when I reboot
