Description James Walton 2004-03-26 03:22:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
xmms, mplayer, gaim, etc have no sound until I run the Soundcard
Detection app under GNOME.  When running the Detection the test sound
plays, and after that all other applications have sound even if they
were already running.  This happens after every reboot. The module
snd_pcm_oss is not being loaded, and after loading the volume is 0 for
ALSA PCM and all of the OSS mixer.
 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1
system-config-soundcard-1.2.7-3
 
How reproducible: Every time
 
 
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bootup and Login
2. Try to play any sounds
3.
 
   
Actual results:
No sound
 
Expected results:
Sound
 
Additional info:
Running Soundcard detection fixes the problem, or manually loading
snd_pcm_oss
and adjusting volume

Sorry for the delay, been a busy week.
Comment 3 James Walton 2004-04-07 01:03:48 UTC 
Just upgraded to kernel 2.6.4-1.305 and now sound seems to be working
with the same configuration as before, and snd_pcm_oss doesn't need to
be loaded.
