My sound _used_ to work, and I can't figure out what changed.
Things that work/don't work
alsamixer shows things
gnome-volume-control shows things (after the fix described elsewhere)
'arecord --format=U8 --file-type=raw --duration=10 frip' generates a file that looks correct (whistling creates a nice sign wave).
I'm at wits end as to why nothing puts out sound. All of the volume control programs show _everything unmuted, all volumes are pretty much maxed out, and I've tried rebooting, reconfiguring the sound, rebuilding the kernel, all to no avail. It just won't play sound.

Do you have a headphone mixer? I have a control which appears in mixer which just determines whether sound should be played through the speakers or headphone port. Perhaps see if the headphone port has sound and look for such a control.

No I have tried with both headphones and without. I have both the headphone and the main volume turned up. Nothing is muted.
I've also tried a few combinations of muting/unmuting with both play and aplay. |

I fixed my problem.
I feel stupid now.
There is a small mechanical volume control on the front of the computer, and it controls all audio output apparently. So if I turn the volume up on the front, I hear sound. Funny that. I must have brushed it when moving the computer around (or putting it in my bag).
Thanks for the help. |
