Comment 1 Jae-Mun Choi 2006-06-27 14:59:38 UTC
I fixed problem by re installing ALSA package(driver, library, tools). then
sounds working normal. maybe next RHEL update I have to do the same thing again.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2006-06-29 15:20:15 UTC
Has the update of alsa-lib and alsa-lib fixed your problem? Or did you
completely reinstall these packages?

Comment 3 Jae-Mun Choi 2006-06-29 22:41:28 UTC
I updated all three which include driver, libray and tools. now I have sound
back. wiered thing is I couldn't find any change on configuration file. but
volume controller got changed. it only contains 3; master, capture and input
mix.  but I had IE856(<-- not sure what it was) but there was something in
between master and input mix. 

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2006-07-25 08:19:56 UTC
It's not a bug, volume controls are set by card driver.
