My speakers still just give static. Loud static.
Um, is that new??
Is my evil joke::
aplay < /dev/urandom
still running? If so, kill it. Does the static stop?
That command I gave pumps a bunch of random numbers through your audio stream

I killed it, but I still get static.

I've no explanation. When did that start? Has it been there since the beginning of the thread, or dis it pop up at some point along the way?

It wasn't there in the beginning of the thread, but I don't remember exactly when it started. Since pulseaudio and alsa aren't working, is there a replacement sound system I can use?

Lets start from the top. Can I get you to reboot, log in as your user, verify that the static is not there. Then, start pulseaudio, see if it still complains, and see if the static starts. If it does not, try playing something that is not flash

Hmm... I rebooted and logged in, and I still have static, but it's fainter that before. Pulseaudio still gives me
W: [pulseaudio] core-util.c: Failed to open configuration file '/home/alec/.config/pulse//daemon.conf': Permission denied
W: [pulseaudio] daemon-conf.c: Failed to open configuration file: Permission denied
Thanks for your continued help, I appreciate it.

Well, I changed pulse's permissions, and now I get:
$ pulseaudio --start
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

Try the command "alsactl init".
My sound will randomly go out sometimes, and also sometimes when I plug in my head phones. This commands gives me sound every time.
I have wasted atleast a second of your time by making you read my signature.

I just tried that. I get

AlecB: just to be sure… you have unmuted your output channels, using alsamixer, right?
Offline
Yes, I have. The sound works fine with my USB headset, but nothing comes from the speakers that use the audio jack

hi, i see you have an ALC892, if you install pulse audio volume control do you have at the configuration tab "analog stereo" something and then go to the output devices and see if you have headphones, if so, try this configuration.
