Please could I have some guidance on getting sound to work on my T42 laptop. I have installed the restricted codecs and tried to use the Control Centre > Hardware controls to get things working but no luck so far. I cannot get any test sound to work and if I try and play an mp3 file I get a couldn’t open audio error box opening.
Is it a driver issue?Anonymous
? What is the output of sudo lspci -v | grep -i audio

Make sure sound chip is turned on in bios first.

How to Search for AntiX solutions to your problems
caprea
If you already tried in antiX Control Center under hardware to choose the default soundcard,
and looked in soundsystem if anything is muted
and tried turning the hardware volume up with the keyboard buttons,
post please also the output of
inxi -Axxx
and
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wavHi and thanks for the reply. Here are the results:-
alastair@antix1:~$ inxi -Axxx Audio: Card Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller driver: snd_intel8x0 ports: 1c00 18c0 bus-ID: 00:1f.5 chip-ID: 8086:24c5 Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k4.10.5-antix.1-486-smp alastair@antix1:~$now there is another antix surprise. When I ran the command in terminal nothing was shown but highlighting all between prompts gave me the above. Why did nothing show in the terminal I ask?
Here is result of second command:-
alastair@antix1:~$ aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav ALSA lib pcm_equal.c:236:(_snd_pcm_equal_open) Problem with control file .alsaequal.bin. aplay: main:788: audio open error: Operation not permitted alastair@antix1:~$Hope this helps.

alastair@antix1:~$ sudo lspci -v | grep -i audio We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

No output from this? What is the output of sudo aplay -l

OK I didn’t think of that but I acnnot find a sound option in the bios setup pages.
There is a hardware switch which I have tried in both positions but to no avail.caprea

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/also-lost-audio-here/#post-2538Like anticapitalista mentioned in your other topic there’s maybe something badly wrong with your install.
Best you go on there explaining exactly which version you installed, how you installed, if you checked md5 sum of the iso ……- This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by caprea.
Hi caprea, well after sorting out my installation all the sound components were showing present and correct but still not working but I then tried SamK’s solution and the bin file was there to delete. Started alsa-utils again and now I have sound.
I should add that I have persevered with antiX on this machine thanks in no small way to the welcome and great support from this forum. I very much like the overall impression I have gained on the OS itself so shall stick with it. Only a few minor questions now on which I shall start new threads.
Taking the opportunity to wish you a very happy and fulfilling New Year.

@budgie – Even if the installation does show the sound card present does not mean it is turned on. I have found that lately (and I still haven’t figured out why or how) that both of my computers will turn off the sound if I disconnect or connect my headphones while the computer is turned off. It will not auto-detect that the headphone has been plugged in upon reboot.
Clarification: I have my phones hooked up to the computer (it doesn’t matter which) and I turn it off. If I disconnect the phones while it is off and then turn on the computer, the computer will have the sound output OFF. AT this point, it will not matter of I replug my phones in OR if I want to use the speakers. I have NO SOUND. I have to go into AlsaMixer and enable the ‘auto-mute” to get sound. I have no idea if this is caused by an update or what. I just learned to live with it.
