Thread: (all varients) fixing scratching/poping noise on ubuntu 9.10

important- kubuntu users use kate instead of gedit
xubuntu users use mousepad instead of gedit

hello guys posted post while ago did not work people today going post both ways u can make sound work ubuntu if have hda audio card. first solution this: open terminal , type- (this crackling/poping noise only. not muted sound cards, , may skip step if not crackling/poping) :

code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

then type password


, last 2 lines see power-save option, delete it. , save it.

for ati/hda/hdmi drivers may work well: : ( can try adding backports driver command - may work you) open terminal , type:

code:

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic

reboot- work if experiencing wither no sound or audio jacks not working.
hope helped out there post please comment , let me know if works you.
tested on hp dv6636nr laptop hda nvidia card.

second step - updating alsa:-

if doesnt while playing games/ watching videos try this:

here show how update alsa drivers sound card teh latest 1 support alot more hda audio cards. follow steps , report me.

this, must begin determining our version of alsa follows :

code:

cat /proc/asound/version

advanced linux sound architecture driver version 1.0.20.


avoid problems during upgrade of alsa-utils, need stop following command :

code:

sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop

must install necessary tools compile along kernel headers :

code:

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext xmlto libasound2-dev

code:

sudo apt-get -y install linux-headers-`uname -r` libncursesw5-dev

then, go in our personal folder , download alsa-driver, alsa-lib , alsa-utils :

code:

cd ~

code:

rm -rf ~/alsa* ~/.pulse*

html code:

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

html code:

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

html code:

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

after that, create new folder compilation , installation of 3 files. then, move 3 tar files downloaded in folder :

code:

sudo rm -rf /usr/src/alsa

code:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa

code:

cd /usr/src/alsa

code:

sudo cp ~/alsa* .

unpack 3 tar files :

code:

sudo tar xjf alsa-driver*

code:

sudo tar xjf alsa-lib*

code:

sudo tar xjf alsa-utils*

we compile , install alsa-driver :

code:

cd alsa-driver*

code:

sudo ./configure

code:

sudo make

code:

sudo make install

we compile , install alsa-lib :

code:

cd ../alsa-lib*

code:

sudo ./configure

code:

sudo make

code:

sudo make install

we compile , install alsa-utils :

code:

cd ../alsa-utils*

code:

sudo ./configure

code:

sudo make

code:

sudo make install

if me, got error during last “sudo ./configure” :

code:

checking form.h presence... yes checking form.h... yes checking new_panel in -lpanelw... no configure: error: panelw library not found

you need add symbolics links (only if got error) , restart installation last “sudo ./configure” :

code:

sudo ln -s libpanelw.so.5 /usr/lib/libpanelw.so

code:

sudo ln -s libformw.so.5 /usr/lib/libformw.so

code:

sudo ln -s libmenuw.so.5 /usr/lib/libmenuw.so

code:

sudo ln -s libncursesw.so.5 /lib/libncursesw.so

then, remove 3 tar files in our personal folder not anymore necessary :

code:

rm -f ~/alsa-driver*

code:

rm -f ~/alsa-lib*

code:

rm -f ~/alsa-utils*

then, restart computer , alsa version should 1.0.22.1!
can verify have indeed have version of alsa :

code:

cat /proc/asound/version

advanced linux sound architecture driver version 1.0.22.1.
compiled on dec 29 2009 kernel 2.6.31-16-generic (smp).


sure configured, execute command :

code:

sudo alsaconf

and reboot again!

third step posted below reply

okay here last solution can think of may work if failed:

open teh terminal , type this:

code:

aplay -l

and sound card driver there/codec then:

code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

will sound setup file

after last line of code enter following:

code:

options snd-hda-intel model="your sound card model"

save it


(replace teh "your card model" actual card sound card driver/codec -remove qoutes- if have more 1 add both of them)

reboot


-forth step ( may pulse audio causing problem)

remove pulseaudio , use regular asla-mixer instead.

code:

sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio

code:

sudo apt-get autoremove

code:

sudo apt-get install esound esound-clients esound-common libesd-alsa0 gnome-alsamixer

restart computer!

notes:
-run gstreamer-properties in terminal set defaults alsa (the old system/preferences/sound in jaunty)

this means:

code:

gstreamer-properties

-remove gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio sound in totem.

the above commands should have taken care of that, never hurts sure when talking hydra pulseaudio.

-gnome-alsamixer changing volume, not applet better nothing

this means left without panel applet control volume across board, thoughtful efforts of canonical shove pulseaudio down our throats. need have control audio with:

code:

sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

and keep gnome-alsamixer within easy reach, provided alltray:

code:

sudo apt-get install alltray
