/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_alsa.so doesn't exist on my machine, and I've tried reinstalling a bunch of things. Do you happen to have a copy of this module that you could upload? I don't know what else to try. All of these programs are looking for this file and it's not there. All the other related files (for pulse, jack, OSS, etc.) do seem to be intact, though, just not the one for ALSA:

$ ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib

I purged and reinstalled, then rebooted. Still no luck. I'm still getting errors like (in the case of MPD):

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_alsa.so
Aug 13 18:15 : output: Failed to open "Alsa" [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device "default": No such device or address

and (in the case of alsamixer)

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_alsa.so
cannot open mixer: No such device or address

They both say that they "cannot open shared library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_alsa.so".

Yes, gstreamer0.10-alsa is already installed.

According to adduser, I am already a member of `audio'. Yes, audio still works in Firefox, but I'm still getting the same error in VLC.

Okay cool, some weren't installed and now I've got them all installed. xfce4-mixer now works. MPD works now, but ncmpcpp still reports "problems setting volume". However, alsamixer still returns the same error.

EDIT: Now MPD refuses to work, even though it worked a few minutes ago. In ~/.mpd/mpd.log:

Aug 13 17:31 : mixer: Failed to read mixer for 'Alsa': failed to attach to default: No such device or address
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_alsa.so
Aug 13 17:31 : output: Failed to open "Alsa" [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device "default": No such device or address

I don't even know what this means. There isn't much information online, either.

It looks like your missing one/some of the gstreamer0.10-plugins-*, check with apt-get or synaptic and try to install the missing ones (-base, -good, -bad, -ugly...), reboot and see what happens...

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but how would I check which plugins are missing? And how exactly would I install them? Again, sorry... I'm new to this type of thing.

EDIT: Would I run something like:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-*

?

Hey VDP76,

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, that's exactly the how-to post I followed. xfce4-mixer is installed already, but when I open it I get the following error:

GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem.

If it matters, I am running the Awesome window manager. Thanks, MunkyCheez

EDIT: I just checked Audacity and it does work. Says it's working through ALSA.

Hey everyone,

As of a few months ago, I run #! 11 Waldorf on my desktop, and I've never quite gotten sound to work properly. Many different sound-related problems have presented themselves in different ways over this past week, and I can't remember exactly how things used to behave (it was never 100% working, I know that for sure), so I'll just describe how it's acting presently:

- Audio in YouTube videos work.
- MPD is silent. ncmpcpp shows "Volume: n/a" (meaning that it can't communicate properly with something, AFAIK)
- Attempting to run alsamixer returns the following:

ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_alsa.so
cannot open mixer: No such device or address

- Attempting to run mocp returns the following:

Running the server...
Trying ALSA...
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:252:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_alsa.so

Trying OSS...
Trying JACK...

FATAL_ERROR: No valid sound driver!


FATAL_ERROR: Server exited!

- VLC doesn't work, either. It outputs the following in a dialog box:

Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such device or address.

... and on the console:

VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e)

I tried some stuff the other day with trying to switch from pulseaudio to ALSA, but it never really worked, as you can see. At the time before I attempted to uninstall pulseaudio and make the switch, MPD was working okay (but the audio quality was kind of poor, and would distort a lot), MOCP was just as broken as now, and YouTube audio didn't work at all. Strange.

The whole structure and workings (or non-workings, lol) of the audio subsystem in Linux really confuses the heck out of me, so I'm afraid I wasn't able to help myself much on this one. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, KrunchTime. I will try a different video driver and see if that fixes things. I left the swap partition as default when I ran the Waldorf installer. Yes, I guess I did mean to say suspend instead of standby, but aren't these just different names for the same thing? Windows XP and below call it "standby", Windows Vista, 7, and 8 call it "sleep", Linux often calls it "sleep" or "suspend", and Mac OS X just calls it "sleep". Don't all of these refer to the ACPI S3 state? Anyway, "suspend", yes...

Hello Fellow #! Users,

This is my first post, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. I installed #! 11 Waldorf on one of my desktops yesterday and I am very happy with it so far. With the help of ndiswrapper, my wireless card even works! My system is as follows:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ @ 1.80 GHz
2.0 GB DDR
200 GB HDD
NVIDIA Quadro FX 570
NETGEAR WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Card
etc.

Anyway, there's something weird going on... Whenever I put the system into standby, and then wake it up, I am faced with a black screen (there IS actually a video signal, but it's just a black screen) and flashing Caps and Scroll Lock LED indicators. I then am forced to hard-reboot the system. I really have no idea what's going on, and I have tried looking through the system logs (dmesg.0, syslog, etc.) to no avail. I'm obviously not much of a Linux guru, more of a hardware guy actually. Your help would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance...
