Audio device: Nvidia corporation usage - audio

I am using Ubuntu 18.04. Whenever I execute:
lspci -v | grep -i audio
It returns:
37:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 10f8 (rev a1)
In my sound settings,instead of showing any speakers or builtin speakers information, I noticed a Dummy Output as sound output device. Can anyone help me out that how to use the NVIDIA Corporation Driver audio device?
Kind Regards,

Manjaro Linux KDE - no sound

I have a problem with my Manjaro Linux. I have no sound. I have tried everything (I have installed sof-firmware, unmuted soundcard, rebooted alsa). What should I do?
Here is the output of the inxi:
System: Host: cWillNeverDie Kernel: 5.13.19-2-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.22.5 Distro: Manjaro Linux Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: Micro-Star model: MAG Z490 TOMAHAWK (MS-7C80) v: 1.0 serial: <superuser required> UEFI: American Megatrends v: 1.80 date: 04/19/2021 Audio: Device-1: Intel driver: snd_hda_intel Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.13.19-2-MANJARO running: yes Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 15.0 running: yes Sound Server-3: PipeWire v: 0.3.38 running: yes
Try to open terminal and run aplay -l. You'll get something like:
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC236 Analog [ALC236 Analog]
Take notes each of card numbers and device numbers. For above example: card number 1 and device number 0.
Then run speaker-test -D hw:CardNumb,DeviceNumb -c 2. For above example become:
speaker -D hw:1,0 -c 2
If you get an error mentioning device busy, close all current active windows, wait a moment and run again. Do this for all cards and devices shown from aplay -l.
Take note which card and device that give you a sound.
After that, find on how to create .asoundrc on the internet.
Hope this give a clue how to debug your sound card.
Sorry if this reply is too late. I was having the same problem, tried every input I could find, and nothing worked. Until...
Go to:
audio system settings
playback devices
change to: analog stereo duplex
That fixed it for me, fwiw.
I have the same issue whenever my laptop comes out of sleep mode.
The following workaround works for me:
unplug Headset (if there is any)
switch sound output to another Device (e.g. from monitor to internal speaker)
Then everything works again for me

Pulse audio doesn't start on boot unless i run some commands

as the title says, pulse audio doesn't start when booting. I need to run
rm -rf /tmp/pulse* ~/.pulse* ~/.config/pulse
pulseaudio -k
pulseaudio --start
in order for it to start. I have even put these commands on an .sh and made this script to run on boot but it doesn's work unless i execute this file manually, sometimes i even have to run it twice.
OS: Manjaro Linux with i3
Pulseaudio: pulseaudio 13.0-dirty
Audio Devices: 00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller (rev 09) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)
[+] Discord and Godot Engine can find any input or output devices!
Have you set up pulseaudio daemon in startup?
If not you can set up using following (depending on your linux version)
systemctl enable pulseaudio and systemctl start pulseaudio
I had the same issue with pulseaudio on my Manjaro with i3. The problem was with .i3/config, I just commented line:
exec --no-startup-id pulseaudio
Also, you can try to restart pulseaudio after boot by adding this line to .i3/config:
exec --no-startup-id systemctl --user restart pulseadio

Dummy Soundcard for Amazon linux server

I need to use an application which needs a soundcard in an amazon ec2 instance with the default ubuntu 16.04 installed on it. Problem is that there's no soundcard available. I've tried everything on google on how to create a dummy soundcard so the program runs with no problem, but nothing helped because it was outdated. This is what lspcireturns:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 02)
00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II]
00:01.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 IDE [Natoma/Triton II]
00:01.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 01)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446
00:03.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)
lsmod | grep snd does not return ANYTHING which makes me think that I might me missing all modules, and not just snd-dummy.
I've been trying to setup a dummy by using the command sudo modprobe snd-dummy which returns the following error:
modprobe: FATAL: Module snd-dummy not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-1013-aws
Any clues?
If anyone still has the same issue:
You are probably using an AMI that comes with a kernel compiled without the snd-dummy module. The ALSA wiki suggests building this module from source (alsa-driver) but this is out of date.
I was able to run an application that needs a soundcard on EC2 by installing pulseaudio
sudo apt install pulseaudio
pulseaudio --start
After which I get:
$ aplay test.wav
Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 22257 Hz, Mono
And the soundcard-needing application runs normally. If this is not enough for you, you might need to enable the default sink:
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=auto_null
pactl set-default-sink auto_null
More details here Linux application fails with "Invalid CTL" and "Unknown PCM"

CubieBoard Sound Driver

I'm using CubieBoard 1(A10), it have an Image of Linux Linaro to Run from MicroSD on its DVD. it has the sound drivers for HDMI and AUX Jack. in the "/proc/asound" there are some folders "Card0, Card1, Sun4iCodec, sun4isndhdmi". and I can Play Sounds and get the output from AUX Jack.
the problem is I need to build the kernel of Linux myself, so when I tried, the drivers would not install. I Included all of the sound Drivers in kernel, I tried every thing I could, but it doesn't included the Driver for AUX Jack or HDMI.
Any Idea how to install it?or how can I get the Drivers?
the kernel version of Image on DVD is: "3.0.57" and the version of kernel I use is: "3.4.67"
