Sounds like that's not an X problem.  Kicking to s-c-soundcard for triage.

Please attach the output of lspci.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2006-08-07 11:02:02 UTC
Please attach /root/scsound.log file.

Comment 3 Karen Soong 2006-08-08 03:47:59 UTC
It's a duo boot, Win XP and Fedora. Sound is internal card with speaker
attached. The WinXP has got no problem with the sound. Not sure what you meant
by output of lspci ?

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2006-08-08 06:16:47 UTC
lspci is a limux command line utility

You have quite old ALSA driver packages, please update your kernel (there is a
kernel update for FC5 - 2.6.17) and check my how-to -

Hi,

2. Which dev pkg  - kernel-devel-xxx.rpm package am I suppose to install form my
current pkg ?
3. Can u provide the detail installation instruction for 7 ?


Yours Sincerely,
Karen LIm

Update your kernel (and kernel-devel) packages first (from fedora updates) and
then you can check the driver update.

alsa-driver-xxxx is only alias for the actual driver version, so it's the
alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2 (for alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2.tar.bz2) now. The
alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2 directory will be created by tar during uncompression of
the alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2.tar.bz2 package.

I am refering to ./comfigure, make, make install ? What directory to specified ?
There is an error 1 if I just run onto the alssa-driver-xxxx directory. What is
the make {install-module} refer ? Sorry, I am not a Linux guru.

Just uncompress the alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2.tar.bz2 file, enter the
alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2 directory and run here ./configure, make, make install (as
root).

btw. You have to have the latest kernel for FC5.

For your information, I tried that and could not get it. However, you can 
close the case as I have change to using SUSE 10.1 and got my sound card 
working! 

Comment 13 Martin Stransky 2006-08-16 07:27:14 UTC
Could you attach your /proc/asound/version? (from SUSE 10.1)
