The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Ubutnu:  9.04:  No Audio:  lost audio upgrading from 8.10 -> 9.04

Asked by Steve34 in Linux Setup

Tags: ubuntu, 9.04, sound, audio

Hi;

About two days ago I upgraded from Ubutnu 8.10 to Ubuntu 9.04.

In the process I lost all audio.    I don't know much about the guts of
Linux so any help I can get to get audio back would be greatly
appreciated.

Here is a part of my output that looks audio related from the lspci
command:

===================================================================
00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M)
SMBus Controller (rev 02)
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
02:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1
(rev 07)
02:00.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev
07)
02:02.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio
Capture (rev 11)
======================================================================

Running the command pulseaudio I got this output


==========================================================================
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
N: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time and/or high-priority
scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the
necessary privileges:
N: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt', PolicyKit refuse to grant
us the requested privileges and we have no increase RLIMIT_NICE/
RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits.
N: main.c: For enabling real-time/high-priority scheduling please
acquire the appropriate PolicyKit privileges, or become a member of
'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits
for this user.
E: pid.c: Daemon already running.
E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
=======================================================================



Then I tried these commands, but it didn't help get audio back.  I rebooted.

====================================================================
steve@Wisdom:~$ sudo usermod -G pulse-rt steve
steve@Wisdom:~$ sudo killall pulseaudio
steve@Wisdom:~$ pulseaudio
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.
I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.
W: alsa-util.c: Device hw:1 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 32000
Hz.
W: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "Mic" or mixer
control is no combination of switch/volume.
===================================================================

Again, I don't know much about linux, but I am will to try things to get
the sound working.

Thanks
