Comment 15 Suffering Without Sound 2008-02-15 04:51:21 UTC
On my Inspiron 1420, sound works if I boot into the stock FC8 kernel
(2.6.23.1-42.fc8, 32-bit) with all other yum packages the most recent update. If
I boot into the latest kernel (kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8, again 32-bit), sound
*doesn't* work. Yes, I use pulseaudio and all that -- I haven't tweaked any of
the audio config files from the base FC8 configuration. I did notice that when
booted into the old (working) kernel, "Master" shows up and is highlighted in
the "Default Mixer Tracks" section of Gnome's hardware sound config screen. When
in the new (broken) kernel, "Master" does not appear in that list.

Does the 2.6.24 kernel in the updates-testing repository work?

No, it is not working on my laptop with kernel.i686 2.6.24.2-7.fc8.

Try as root set rw rights to /dev/snd/* . When I run this command, the sound is
OK: setfacl -m u:USER:rw /dev/snd/*

It did not work for me.

Comment 24 Juan Camilo Prada Ojeda 2008-03-10 20:24:31 UTC
im having the same issues. In previous kernel version (kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8)
i managed to get sound working by installing alsa-kmdl and alsa-driver packages
from Atrpm (i know about the risk). In new kernel (2.6.24) the problems persist
and also i managed to make sound work by installing alsa drivers from source,
which makes me think the problem might be on current alsa driver modules for the
kernel

Comment 27 Mario Limonciello 2008-03-11 03:14:44 UTC
Hi folks, coming from the Ubuntu side just fixing a few of these similar bugs
i've got some information:

1) Make sure that your surround mixer isn't muted.  Anything earlier ALSA 1.0.16
+ HG tip 3weeks later has a bug where the speakers are mapped to the surround
mixer.  There is a quirk in HG that fixes that.
2) A variety of quirks were added after 1.0.16 that modify the behavior of these
STAC9XXX codecs, power management and some more.  Look at the revisions from
patch_sigmatel.c on ALSA hg for more information and for the patches to cherry pick.

Comment 28 Sergio Morais Lietti 2008-04-03 18:33:02 UTC
Still no sound on kernel-2.6.24.4-64.fc8.i686 .  

Comment 29 Chuck Ebbert 2008-04-29 19:41:32 UTC
Try editing /etc/modprobe.conf and adding or changing this line so it reads:

  options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack

Report back whether that works..

Adding this line to /etc/modprobe.conf has no observable effect in
kernel-2.6.24.4-64.fc8.i386. Audio appears to be broken in the same manner as
the scenario without this line.

It did not work for me either.

It does not work for 2.6.24.7-92.fc8.i386.


Comment 33 Rafael Ávila de Espíndola 2008-06-01 21:04:01 UTC
Does not work on a new Fedora 9.


Comment 34 Rafael Ávila de Espíndola 2008-06-01 21:15:29 UTC
Upgrading to kernel 2.6.25.3-18 also didn't help.


Comment 35 Patrick Hallinan 2008-06-01 22:15:41 UTC
With this as my modprobe.conf sound works on Fedora 9:

options snd cards_limit=8
alias snd-card-7 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=7
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack

When doing this surround channel unmuting, sound now *works* for
kernel-2.6.25.6-27.fc8.i386. Thanks!


Comment 38 Rafael Ávila de Espíndola 2009-01-01 13:31:52 UTC
Things a much better with Fedora 10. With kernel 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64 the internal speakers work out of the box. Unfortunately, the headphones still don't work.

Comment 39 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 08:12:58 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 40 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:03:30 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
