Am having 2 computers at my home, one with XP and other is with Debian OS. I am not able to figure out why my USB headphone is not working on Debian based computer. I could not get any kind of sound while playing music file or video file on my system. Even I am not able to listen audio on YouTube.
Let me know if there is any solution to overcome above mentioned issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
If you are having alsa/gstreamer set up, simply execute following command on Terminal.
In case above mentioned thing does not work, simply install pulseaudio (pavucontrol) by executing following.Code:gstreamer-properties
Once you have done with installation process you can try to edit volume settings.Code:apt-get install pavucontrol pulseaudio
Provide the output of following command
If you are having couple of USB sound card such as USB sound card and Onboard sound card. I recommend that you should turn off onboard sound card from BIOS setup and see whether it works for you.Code:lscpi
You can try following workaround and let me know about the result. Make sure that you are supposed to perform all the activities as superuser of the system.
Execute ‘lsusb’ without quotes on terminal and press enter. Now exter the following command.
You need to change snd-usb-audi index=-2. Normally it has value ‘0’, however you can get try with ‘1’ also. After that simply hit Ctrl, X , Y and Enter key together.Code:nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Click on Startmenu, Preferences , Startup applications. In the resulting window simply left click on Add button. Once you there, enter the following command in the Terminal.
Code:/etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop
Save it and close all windows.Code:alsa force-reload & /etc/init.d/alsa-utils
