Hi,

I would like to know what's the proper way to solve this. I'm on an
updated debian-testing installation (with pulseaudio installed and
working, but the problem seems to be previous, i.e., in ALSA, because
pavucontrol doesn't show the soundcard in its correspondent tab).

I can get audio from audacity and audacious as long as I choose
manually the proper soundcard in its options, but not from other
programs (e.g., firefox, mplayer, etc.), which I suppose use the
default soundcard.

Strangely, 'speaker-test -c2' doesn't produce a sound. But 'sudo
speaker-test -c2' works flawlessly. (The idea to check that came from
[1].)

I already tested (following [2]):

$ sudo alsactl init
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Conexant CX20590"
"HDA:14f1506e,17aa21db,00100003 HDA:80862805,80860101,00100000"
"0x17aa" "0x21db"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method

But nothing changed after reboot. (Though, the CX20590 is the working
choice for audacious/audacity.)

I have this info:

$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xf2520000 irq 35

$ lspci -v

	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
	Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel

Any other info I could provide?
What should I do?

BTW, JACK also fails to work, with these messages:

I guess I should have added:

Maybe relevant:

This produces sound correctly:
$ aplay -vv -D sysdefault:CARD=PCH /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav

But this not, even as sudo (and the error is similar to JACK one):
$ aplay -vv -D front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
aplay: main:830: audio open error: Device or resource bussy

This is the complete list:

$ aplay -L
default
    Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server
surround21
    2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers
surround40
    4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers

Problem persists, no sound:

Any error message? Is your user a member of group 'audio'?

Some program might be blocking the sound card, check also the output of 
'lsof | grep /dev/snd' (as root).

Kind regards,

Maybe a timidity configuration issue?

Ok.

And no error...
 
> $ sudo speaker-test -c2 [Sounds OK.]

That would indicate that sound is handled differently for the regular 
user (e.g. via pulseaudio) vs. the root user.

This could be either pulseaudio or an .asoundrc (do you have one in your 
home directory?).

Try this as user:

pasuspender -- speaker-test -c2

Try stopping / disabling it and see if that helps.

Oh, mother-bugger... Problem - practically - solved.

I did:

$ sudo apt-get purge timidity

And everything came to work. Pavucontrol shows the devices, streams
and configurations. All media-players (audacious, mplayer, firefox,
audacity, etc.) work with default audio configuration, and even JACK
is working flawlessly. In fact, tested JACK (qjackctl) with qsynt and
vmpk and everything worked fine (maybe I don't even need timidity at
all?).

And then - testing if could reinstall - found the cause of the problem:

$ sudo apt-get install timidity

I guess that explains the 'sudo works, non-sudo non-works'?

Should I mark this as 'SOLVED' in some manner?

IT is known issue with timidity. I did not know that sound can be played via
root account though. We learned a bit more.

Hi,

For the record, I had the exact same problem on a computer running
buster that I don't use very often. For sure, it was working fine even
with timidity installed a few months ago. Many thanks to Andrei for the
'lsof | grep /dev/snd' command that pointed us in the right direction!
Debugging these sound issues that appear spontaneously on a
previously-working setup is not easy, especially now that PulseAudio is
required everywhere.

Regards
