It's related with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167522 (I didn't find it earlier), but it's quite old bug and could be fixed in FC5. Btw, why alsa-lib 1.0.11 final isn't available in FC5 (even in a "Raw Hide")? You can use 1.0.11 final drivers and alsa-lib/utils from FC5, alsa packages on my site are for debugging only. ALSA drivers in kernel depends on kernel upstream.... so, do alsa drivers 1.0.11 work for you? After installation proces of FC5 I upgraded kernel package to 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 (and made other available updates). The sound wasn't recorded. Later I upgraded alsa-lib to 1.0.11-2 and alsa-utils to 1.0.11-2 (from your site) and I was able to record sound (drivers from kernel remain unchanged). Due to problem with restoration of sound settings (wasn't loaded at startup, but "/usr/sbin/alsactl restore 0" called by hand worked) I had to downgrade alsa-utils to 1.0.11-4 (from Fedora Updates). After that operations I can record sound using my microphone and sound settings restoration works properly. Oh well, I hoped that bug 167522 will be fixed in FC5 but it is not. I am seeing the same problem with [techie@erazim ~]$ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.11rc4 (Wed Mar 22 10:27:24 2006 UTC). [techie@erazim ~]$ rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 [techie@erazim ~]$ Any estimations on when 1.0.11 final version (with working sound recording) will hit FC5 updates ? I did have very similiar problems with my SB Live Player 5.1 [SB0060]. When i speak into the microphone there was no sound recorded, but i did hear my voice through the speakers. I had to open alsamixer and set in capture mic as caputure device (the default was cd?!?!?) and turn capture and ac97 louder. After this changes sound recording worked again, but i still did hear myself through the speaker. After i set in Playback AC97 to 0, everything worked as it should. When i change something in the Gnome volume control under recording, sound recording is broken again and i need to change the setting another time with alsamixer. I can reproduce this bug with every fresh install since FC3. This looks like another long "unable to record sound with SB5.1 on FC" thread has been started. I have tried to select the mic via alsamixer. (I have two choices - Mic1 and Mic2, none of them worked) I am not able to hear myself in the speakers no matter what I do. I will try to use Martin Stransky's alsa-lib and see if it works. I have tried to rpmbuild alsa-utils which went fine, but alsa-lib gave me this
weird error:
[root@erazim alsa-problems]# rpmbuild --rebuild alsa-lib-1.0.11-2.src.rpm

error: Failed build dependencies:
doxygen is needed by alsa-lib-1.0.11-2.i386
Why alsa-lib needs doxygen for building ? Also, if it needs special user, it
should create it.
alsa-lib contains a documantation generated by doxygen during compilation. You don't have to care about user, root is fine... alsa-lib package should do really better and use root straight ahead. using unknown user looks at least suspicious. which version of kernel package contains the fix ? when it will be released outside rawhide ? I'm afraid there isn't any kernel with 1.0.11 driver available for FC5... So the Resolution field should be set to NEXTVERSION and not RAWHIDE. I'm getting feeling of deja-vu. This means that for 2 whole releases of Fedora sound recording with SB Live 5.1 is not possible. Hah, there is kernel with 1.0.12 driver for FC5 ! [root@erazim Notes]# uname -a Linux erazim.local.lab.devnull.cz 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 #1 Sat Oct 14 16:59:26 EDT 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [root@erazim Notes]# cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1 (Thu Jun 22 13:55:50 2006 UTC). but the sound recording still does not work. Going to submit another bug. In case someone finds this bug: it is very important to unmute AC97 channel. (works on FC6) |
