I'm using linux for the first time. I installed alsa 1.0.24 in my system running Ubuntu 12.04. After installing, I tried to play some files using command aplay -vv abc.wav
, it started playing but I can't hear the sound.
$ cat /proc/asound/oss/ sndstat1
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.24 emulation code)
Kernel: Linux developer-OptiPlex-170L 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:41:14 UTC 2012 i686
Config options: 0
Installed drivers:
Type 10: ALSA emulation
Card config:
Intel ICH5 with AD1980 at irq 17
Audio devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
Timers:
31: system timer
Mixers: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG
If i use the command aplay -l
it shows the error as no soundcards found...
. But actually sound card is there. If I run cat /proc/asound/cards
, it shows the sound card name as:
0 [ICH5 ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5
Intel ICH5 with AD1980 at irq 17
And even after installing alsamixergui
, and if I run alsamixer', it shows
cannot open mixer: no such device`.
Whether it's the problem with alsa or soundcard?
