The sound only started playing in Firefox through my Extigy when I installed Pulseaudio so not sure about that It's saying I need qmake only one output works and that's headphones the other output for surround/line out is as loud as the phones usually Now Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 has pulseaudio installed as default (Kubuntu Intrepid doesn't). I have seen problems where folks had very low sound output, and have suggested removing pulseaudio, which has brought the sounds back to normal levels. To remove pulseaudio do as below. You can always put it back later, if you want it. sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio Before doing that though, have a look in alsamixer for sliders that may need to be pushed up. With pulseaudio installed, opening alsamixer in Gnomes terminal as alsamixer, simply shows the pulseaudio slider, so open alsamixer as below. I don't have an Extigy card, but you will probably see sliders like "Master", "PCM", "Front", which may need to be pushed up. alsamixer -D hw:0 The above is if cat /proc/asound/cards shows the Extigy card as card0. You said on a previous post that you'd blacklisted the onboard card, so the above alsamixer command should be correct. If the Extigy card is still shown as card1, open alsamixer as below. alsamixer -D hw:1 Post back, and let us know how you get on. All the best. Nigel. |

On my system Master, PCM, Front are the volume settings that have a
noticeable effect... also make sure the program that is generating the
audio has sufficient volume.
Also, on some motherboard/chips the headphone and master volume are
backwards... meaning the main audio output will be low, as if for
headphones... so you may want to look for something like that (or try
changing output jack if you have more than one on your machine).
