Description Kiyo Sekimoto 2006-02-12 05:28:34 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ja; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060208 Fedora/1.5.0.1-2.1 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Description of problem:
I have 2 sound devices on my PC. The one is Creative Soundbraster and the other is USB Speeker. The hardware display showes both as the sound device though, system-config-soundcard does not detect the USB device thus I can not use the USB sound device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.15-1.51_FC5hypervisor

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start system-config-soundcard.
2.There is no USB sound device selection.
3.
  

Actual Results:  Nothing. Just simply I can not select the USB sound device.

Expected Results:  There should be device selection such as tabs like on FC4.

Additional info:

FC5 test 1 has same problem thus I think the bug is common to all FC5.

Comment 2 Kiyo Sekimoto 2006-02-14 11:54:35 UTC 
Following text is the requested document. I usually uses with LANG=EUC-jp_UTF-8
though, I have captured with LANG=C so you can read them all. The behavior of
system-config-soundcard is bit different with LANG=C than UTF-8 though, I still
can not use the USB speaker with LANG=C.

This is probably related to bug #182365. My guess is that if alsa-lib gets fixed
the soundcard configurator will work correctly again.

I'll check it as soon as I have some USB card handy...

I've just checked it, it's a bug in kudzu.

I get this issue too on FC5 - unfortunately I originally logged in against GNOME
thinking this was a GNOME utility. Here is the bug I logged on GNOME
originallly: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340673

I originally recorded this issue at
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=430410#post430410 In FC4 the
utility did find the USB speakers but is now broke in FC5. However, because of
another bug in FC4 it was still no use for USB speakers in FC4. I assume that
this original FC4 issue still stands once the USB speaker detection on kudzu in
FC5 is remedied? Is this original FC4 issue (too many devices listed, wrong
device number assigned in /etc/asound.conf) related to the following bug:

you can check the new s-c-s, select the "System" tab, choose /proc or HAL
detection method a configure your USB card...
