Could you check the snd_intel8x0 driver? Apologies for sounding stupid, but can you please explain what you mean by checking the snd_intel8x0 driver. I'm afraid I know very little about the Linux module system or Alsa. Thanks, Dave... No problem, do these: # modprobe -r snd-hda-intel # modprobe snd-intel8x0 # alsamixer and adjust some playback channels (PCM, Master and so on...) and check sound by xmms, aplay or similar... # modprobe -r snd-hda-intel FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. FATAL: Error running remove command for snd_hda_intel # I thought it was probably pointless after that, but I went on and loaded snd_intel8x0 anyway. It didn't make any difference. I still only have one control in alsamixer (labeled 'PCM') and there's still no sound. Dave... Some application uses this snd-hda-intel driver, you may have to close all applications that use audio (like mixers, players, KDE arts daemon and so on). Or you can try to switch to runlevel 3: #init 3 and unload the snd-hda-intel driver... It was the gnome volume control applet that had the device open. I killed that and was able to remove snd-hda-intel and load snd-intel8x0. Then trying to run alsamixer I get the error: $ alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory And I can't run any program that needs a sounds device. I get errors saying that the soundcard is incorrectly configured or missing. Thanks for you help so far. Dave... Using the latest kernel from devel may help you, it has the latest alsa-drivers... I've just installed a new version of the kernel thru yum. I'm now running 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp. And I'm still getting the same problems. Did you have an even newer version in mind? Dave... I thought a kernel from devel branch, it's kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC5 It's here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC5.src.rpm I had exactly the same problem on my dell dimension, and with alsa 1.0.10rc1 sound works using the hda-intel driver. Bart Bart, That's encouraging news. I'll try that as soon as I can. The .bz2 packages on the Alsa web site aren't in one-to-one correspondence with the Fedora rpms. Which packages did you download and build? Are there any gotchas that I need to be aware of? Thanks, Dave... Happy to report that installing alsa-drivers 1.0.10rc1 also worked for me. Thanks everyone for your help. Dave... I hope 1.0.10 will be in new FC... |

When I run 'alsamixer' (or the GUI version) I only see one channel which is labeled 'PCM' and is set at 70% and is not muted. There are no other channels visible. Is there any further information you need to help diagnose the problem?
