Description Karl Lattimer 2007-11-22 10:15:34 UTC
Description of problem:
After installing f8 on my iMac the only real issue I have is the lack of sound.
There are various audio devices available to GNOME however non of the tests
produces any output

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Not sure which component is the problem, however an ubuntu forum posting seems
to include some further information;

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2007-11-26 22:22:19 UTC
Please run system-config-soundcard (from terminal, as root) and check your sound
devices.

Comment 2 Karl Lattimer 2007-11-26 23:31:38 UTC
Running system-config-soundcard didn't put much out, but I finally managed to
get it to work. Firstly it was correctly loading all the right modules just
nothing was making a sound, to fix it I had to add/amend this line in my
/etc/modprobe.conf 

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=imac24

Is this something that can be accounted for on future installs? I mean could
fedora 9 include a quirk for it?

Comment 3 Will Woods 2007-12-03 20:36:38 UTC
I believe this is something that needs to be fixed in upstream ALSA. Martin,
what are the odds on getting this in F9 (or in an F8 update)?

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2007-12-04 10:22:33 UTC
The latest released alsa version is 1.0.15 and it's included in fedora 8
recently. You may report that problem to upstream (www.alsa-project.org) and
hope that someone with that hardware will fix it.

We usually use the latest ALSA version (or you can easily update your drivers)
so  if it's once fixed by upstream it's in fedora soon.

Comment 5 Martin Stransky 2008-02-20 14:32:55 UTC
Closing as wontfix. This has to by fixed in ALSA.
