I can't hear any sounds on ubuntu 11.10 on Dell inspiron N5010
- by Ahmed
I have a problem that I can't hear any sounds and I don't know where to start.
I did the following :
lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0447
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 48
Memory at fbf00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan HDMI Audio [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series]
Subsystem: Dell Device 0447
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49
Memory at fbe40000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
And It seems that I have 2 soundcards. Is that normal ??
I also did this:
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Also on the sound setting GUI. I have 2 hardware profiles for sound cards but none of them works when I test the speakers.
Where should I start searching ?
