I have two laptops: Dell xps M1210 and Dell vostro 1400. On MS windows the output volume is so loud that I just need to set volume to around 20% to listen music and watch videos. I use Bose TriPort In-Ear Headphones most of the times. On ubuntu, even if I set 100% volume on the multimedia player, on the desktop volume manager as well, and also on the ncurses GUI of alsa mixer, I get very low volume output. Sometimes while playing some vidoes the volume is so low that I barely hear any words. I have struggled for two years since I started to use ubuntu to solve this mystery. The same sound card which gives excellent sound on MS windows fails miserably on GNU/Linux. Few weeks back I bought an Asus 100PX EEE PC. To my surprise even it also has the same issue. I have tried many versions of ubuntu and also I have done manual compiles of alsa modules without any success. I have asked and read about it in every possible forums and howto's. Nothing has helped me to address the issue.

There is no one guide that I have tried that results in a fully working WebEx on Linux. Typically audio is the feature hardest to get working. How do I get WebEx working with audio on Ubuntu?

At each reboot, PulseAudio sets a sink (in my case, "HDMI Audio Output") as the default.  So, at each reboot, I don't hear any sound, and need to reconfigure the default sink each time to "Analog Output".  How do I remove/disable a specific sink such as HDMI, or set a default sink that overrides the existing sink?

I have an iPhone 4S and the speakers are not working for applications. The speaker works when doing voice calls on speaker phone, adjusting the ringer, and other default things.  However, when trying to have audio for YouTube and other applications it does not work.  It wasn't working for IOS 6.1.3 and I have now upgraded it to 7.0.4 with no luck. I then restored again with no luck.  I believe the fact that it works for the speaker phone and ringtone would suggest it is not a hardware problem but a software problem.  Any suggestions?

I have to plugin my USB Audio adapter ( 4300054 Gigawire USB Audio Adapter) for audio input because has a combo-input-output port for voice.  After I do this, I have go open Sound Settings and manually select the USB Audio adapter for Input and Output, if I do not, the system default remains selected.  Is there anyway, I can make Ubuntu to automatically select the USB Audio Adapter as the default as soon as I plug-in?

I recently updated firmware on my Thinkpad Carbon X1 (last gen, 7th I guess) and since (I'm not sure it is the cause of my problem, but it happens simultaneously), I only have a "dummy device" in sound configuration panel on Ubuntu 18.04. I tried a lot of stuff suggested around the web and still, the result of aplay -l is always no sound card detected. The output of lspci -nnk | grep -A2 Audio is :  Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:9dc8] (rev 11)     Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:2292]     Kernel driver in use: snd_soc_skl   Any suggestion how to fix this ?

After installing 12.04 Precise on my PC, I have encountered some problems with audio output which did no occur when using Lucid.   The sound is choppy and distorted in the lower tones. As I have no experience in setting/testing and doing anything with Audio Devices, I need help even to diagnose the problem.  Update  $ sudo lshw -c multimedia    *-multimedia           description: Audio device        product: Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller        vendor: Hynix Semiconductor (Hyundai Electronics)        physical id: 5.2        bus info: pci@0000:01:05.2        version: 00        width: 64 bits        clock: 33MHz        capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list        configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=32        resources: irq:19 memory:fdafc000-fdafffff   *-multimedia        description: Audio device        product: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)        vendor: Hynix Semiconductor (Hyundai Electronics)        physical id: 14.2        bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2        version: 00        width: 64 bits        clock: 33MHz        capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list        configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=32        resources: irq:16 memory:fe024000-fe027fff   Update 2  It has something to do with the volume. If the audio is quiet it is not choppy, if the sound is loud then it begins to be choppy.

After I updated to Ubuntu 18.10 my sound device isn't recognized anymore. Only a dummy device is shown.  I have an onboard Intel device:  lspci -nnk | grep -A2 Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:1e20] (rev 04)     Subsystem: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:2036]     Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel     Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel   The command pacmd list-cards does not show any devices:  :~$ pacmd list-cards 0 card(s) available.   This message in /var/log/syslog might have to do something with the problem:  Oct 19 21:02:06 MyComputerName pulseaudio[14331]: E: [pulseaudio]  backend-ofono.c: Failed to register as a handsfree audio agent with  ofono: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.ofono  was not provided by any .service files   Does anybody have the same issue? How can I fix this?

I am using almost default 18.04. I do not get any login or logout sounds. usr/share/sounds seems to have some folders in it. But there are no sound indicators for any activity I do on my PC. Is it possible to find and use a good sound theme with 18.04 ? If yes, please tell me how.  Edit 1

After a bit of messing around including doing this:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  sudo apt-get install pavucontrol linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils gdm ubuntu-desktop linux-image-`uname -r` libasound2   sudo apt-get -y --reinstall install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils gdm ubuntu-desktop linux-image-  uname -r   libasound2; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*; sudo usermod -aG   cat /etc/group | grep -e '^pulse:' -e '^audio:' -e '^pulse-access:' -e '^pulse-rt:' -e '^video:' | awk -F: '{print $1}' | tr '\n' ',' | sed 's:,$::g'  whoami   no sound works anymore. The sound controller that is normally in the top right of the screen is now also gone.

I'm trying to install bang and olufsen drivers, or HP hd audio driver, as only 2 of the 4 speakers work and the 2 amps don't work in ubuntu  lspci -v | grep -i audio 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller (rev 09)     Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Broadwell-U Audio Controller 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)     Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller   The volume is terrible. Is there any way to fix this?  The speakers work perfectly on the pre-installed Windows 8.

This is on a machine I upgraded from 18.04 to 20.04 a few days ago. No issues at all getting sound to play out of headphones on 18.04.  The headphones are paired with Bluetooth. I unpaired and repaired them just to be sure. The settings panel for sound has them as an output option and I can select it without issue. However, no sound ever comes out of the headphones. I've even adjusted the volume both in the settings panel, in alsamixer and in pavucontrol. Nothing changes.  I see no errors in the bluetooth service log.  Output of:  { sudo lshw | grep product | head -n1 &amp;&amp; sudo lspci -knn | grep Net -A3 &amp;&amp; lsusb -v; } &gt;output.txt 2&gt;&amp;1

I think my Ubuntu is a bit broken from messing around with it.  Unfortunately during installation, I did not make a separate partition for /home. Now I need to re-install but want to keep my music and films.  Any ideas...

I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from a minimal cd on a netbook (Asus 1001 PXD). I've installed the ubuntu-desktop package using the --no-install-recommends option.  Everything works fine, except the "sound test" for headphones or analog speakers.  Clicking on the "test" buttons (front left and front right) I don't hear any sound. Despite this, the audio is working properly.  I've checked the audio levels with alsamixer; I have also checked that the test sounds actually exist in /usr/share/sounds/alsa.  I tried an installation of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS made with the desktop-cd, and in this case the speaker test works properly.  I suppose, therefore, that the problem could depend on the lack of a package, but I have not identified which one.
