Hello Bugzilla folks. Figured I would update you on what I've found out. Okay, here's the trick. With FC3 you've got to open the volume control and mute the Line Jack Sense and Headphone Jack Sense settings. With FC2 these settings don't show up in the volume control. So, run the command "alsamixer", as root, from a terminal window. The volume control that appears in the terminal window will have the two missing settings. Use the left/right arrow keys to select the appropriate slider and the press Shift-M (for mute). You'll notice in the upper-left corner the name of the slider and whether or not it's muted (off). Hope this helps.. Thanks to all on this forum for your suggestions and for other, related and helpful posts. I'll also post this information into my Bugzilla incident. Regards, Richard Huelbig P.S. I've attached a .PNG file of the two volume controls (Gnome versus alsamixer) in the Fedora Forum. I couldn't attach a .PNG file here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 144742 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922 Description of problem: Here are three messages that I posted to the Fedora Forum. These describe what I've found and what I've done. Notice that the last message indicates that I found a workaround for the FC3 sound problem but not for the FC2 sound problem; however, I think the two are related. Message One: I've got a Dell 2400 running the latest kernel for FC3 as well as all of the latest updates, and a Dell 4550 running the latest FC2 kernel and other software updates. The strange thing is, that each computer worked flawlessly with the first few kernels for the respective FC releases (FC2 and FC3). And this included the sound--it worked great. Now, with the last few kernels the sound card simply stopped working. The cards are detected when I run the SoundCard detection, but when I do something that would generate a sound--nothing. Thanks, Richard Huelbig Message Two: Here are some additional details: FC2 is running on a Dell Dimension 4550 with an integrated sound card (the spec says it uses a 1981A codec). FC3 is running on a Dell Dimension 2400 with an integrated sound card (no information as to the codec). FC2 kernels that don't work on the Dimension 4550 are: 2.6.10-1.9_FC2 and 2.6.10-1.8_FC2. FC2 kernels that work on the 4550 are: 2.6.9-1.11_FC2 and earlier. FC3 kernels that don't work on the Dimension 2400 are: 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 and 2.6.10-1.737_FC3. FC3 kernels that work on the 2400 are: 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 and earlier. On both machines I'm running Gnome desktop, not KDE. The FC2 PC is using Gnome 2.6. The FC3 PC is using Gnome 2.8.0. I do not know if my sound is running under OSS, ALSA, or ESD; I'm not sure what these abbreviations mean or how to determine which is used. Regarding the sounds drivers, when I use the System Settings/Soundcard Detection tool I get the following information: For the FC2 machine: Intel Corp., 82801DB(KH4) AC'97 Audio Controller, snd-intel8x0 For the FC3 machine: Intel Corp., 82801DB/DBL/DBM(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller, snd-intel8x0 Thanks, Richard Huelbig Message 3: When I went over to Bugzilla I did a search on some sound card problems and upgrading kernels. In Bugzilla I found a workaround for my FC3 machine. I opened the volume control and set the Headphone Jack Sense and Line Jack Sense settings to Mute (I checked the Mute check boxes). When I did that I started to get sound. However, on my FC2 PC, when I open the volume control I do not have Line Jack Sense and Headphone Jack Sense selections. So, my problem remains with the latest kernel and FC2. I will post these findings on Bugzilla. If anyone has any additional information, please share it. Thanks, Richard Huelbig Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.10-1.8_FC2 and 2.6.10-1.9_FC2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: For FC2 Problem: 1. Run kernel 2.6.9-1.11_FC2. 2. Test for sound card detection--passes--sound produced. 3. Run kernel 2.6.10-1.8_FC2 or 2.6.10-1.9_FC2. 4. Repeat step 2--fails--no sound produced. 5. No workaround known at this time. For FC3 Problem: 1. Run kernel 2.6.9-1.724_FC3. 2. Test for sound card detection--passes--sound produced. 3. Run kernel 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 or 2.6.10-1.741_FC3. 4. Repeat step 2--fails--no sound produced. 5. Open the volume control and set Headphone Jack Sense and Line Jack Sense settings to Mute. 6. Repeat step 2T--passes--sound produced. Actual Results: Please see notations in the Description section and the Steps To Reproduce section. Expected Results: Should hear sound when testing for soundcard. Additional info: This information has also been posted to the Fedora Forum web site.
