[Solved] Audio's Not Working

[NePoran]

About two days I was folloowing Chris Titus Tech's videos on how to improve one's Linux gaming experience.

Iirc I got as faras installing the graphics drivers, when I woke up this morning I had two problems:
My audio didn't work.
The screen was set to 1080p (it's usually set to 1050p because 1080p makes the desktop bigger than the screen and I haven't bothered to figure out how to fix it).

Anyone know what's going on?

Which Linux distro and desktop environment are you using?

What's wrong with your thread here:

[Don't Need To Fix The Problem Anymore So Idc, Thanks For The Help] Desktop Isn't Scaling Properly At 1080p And I Don't Know How To Fix It

Ever since I switched to Linux whenever I tried using 1080p the taskbar and windows would go outside of the screen, hence I figured it wasn't scaled properly. DIdn't know how to fix it, was able to use 1050p without a problem so I just stuck with that. Yesterday I was following Christ Titus...

"Which Linux distro and desktop environment are you using?"


Ubuntu 20.04
Pretty sure it's GNOME.

"What's wrong with your thread here:"

It didn't fix the audio issue and when I mentioned the audio issue originally I don't believe it was really addressed.

So then you can continue with that thread without starting a new one. We try to keep things tidy around here.

Anyhow, we need more info to really help with the audio. Have you opened pavucontrol to take a look to see if things are as they should be? What kind of audio devices are we working with? On-board? Dedicated sound card? What's the output of:

lspci | grep Audio

Is Pulse Audio Volume Control installed ?

"So then you can continue with that thread without starting a new one."

I thought it would get abandoned (though come to think of it IIrc I never mentioned that the problem was fixed, so it doesn't make sens for me to assume anyone else thinks it's fixed).

"Have you opened pavucontrol to take a look to see if things are as they should be?"

What's pavucontrol?

"What kind of audio devices are we working with? On-board? Dedicated sound card?"
I believe it's an on-board chip, not completely sure.

 

[NePoran]

"Is Pulse Audio Volume Control installed ?"

Oh that's what pavu is.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I installed it.

 

[NePoran]

"user:~$ lspci | grep Audio
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH HD Audio
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)"

 

[NePoran]

Huh, so I really didn't state it was fixed in the original post, thus there's no reason I should assume anyone else thought it was solved and thus wouldn't help me either.

 

[KGIII]

Check your pavucontrol to see if the output is set to HDMI or if it's set to something else - probably something containing "Intel HD Audia Stereo Analog".

 

[NePoran]

Just installed pavucontrol.

Didn't know this existed.

 

[NePoran]

I went to Output Devices and unmuted GP104 High Definition Audio Controller Digital, I can now hear audio again.

I'm gonna restart my system because I'm suspecting that might fuck it up, want to check.

 

[KGIII]

If successful, you might want to go back through the threads, changing their titles to include the word [Solved] and then thank the user(s) who helped you while letting folks know that the issues have been resolved.

 

[NePoran]

Okay, my audio still works.

That fixes my audio problem.
Thank you.

My remaining problem is that my desktop is still bigger than my resolution at 1080p.
