Those codec errors appear to be from the kernel driver - assigning there. This is still a problem as of the latest updates on Nov.5/2004 and kernel 2.6.9-1.667. The FC3 release is scheduled for Monday ? Are we not going to fix this for the release ? Here is a work around to make sound work on my laptop:
I added snd-intel8x0m to /etc/hotplug/blacklist and rebooted.
I went to the KDE->ControlCenter->Sound & Multimedia-> Sound System-
>Enable.
Then I went to KDE->System Settings->Soundcard Detection. It
detected my soundcard and it has worked ever since.
artsd now consumes a reasonable amount of processor time: <1%
usually.
I should add that I upgraded to FC3 final before the work around. I did this via ISO CDROMs and anaconda, ie the conventional upgrade process. I have an acer aspire 1864 (snd-intel8x0m driver) running FC3 (kernel 2.6.10-1.741) that exhibits the same behaviour lspci outputs : Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) Under KDE, Artsd goes wild, using 100% of available cpu (this happens at login if I have the sound system enabled) . No sound. Sound doesnt work under gnome either. Even simple methods like catting an au sound file /proc/audio hang. Same for all audio players. If artsd inst running audio players dont hang, but they dont play any sound either. dmesg shows multiple codec_read 0: semaphore is not ready for register 0x2c entries. system-config-soundcard test doesnt generate any sound and gives errors in stdout : pcm_write:1115: write error: Input/output error Always reproducible. I have had consistent sound problems with FC1 FC2 and FC3 - sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. MY SOLUTION: I discovered a quick fix on the internet the other day - mute both microphone entries SystemSettings->SoundDetection. There are a lot of people suggesting a lot of things to help people with sound problems - if a simple mute of the microphone could help half of them - maybe that could be the default for sound i.e. microphones=muted during install? But if I was just one of a lucky few - I will be back - because I have had a lot of problems with sound.

An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that have been in NEEDINFO state for several months. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, this is the only method we have of cleaning out stale bug reports where the reporter has disappeared. If you can reproduce this bug with current FC3 updates, please reopen this bug. If you are not the reporter, you can add a comment requesting it be reopened, and someone will get to it asap. If you are not the reporter, but can reproduce this problem against FC4, please open a new bug. Thank you. |
