Description DongpoLiu 2009-06-22 06:02:12 UTC 
we can get some error log when run following commands:
[root@osve-hp initial]#aplay  /usr/share/sounds/*.*  
ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:866:(snd1_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) snd_pcm_hw_params_any failed
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1020:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize slave
aplay: main:583: audio open error: Invalid argument

we can not heard sound from earphone.

OS is RHEL 5.4 Alpha
Kernel is Linux osve-hp 2.6.18-154.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jun 17 17:51:55 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
HW is Piketon + Havendale SDV
Comment 1 DongpoLiu 2009-06-23 05:42:24 UTC 
no such issue with x86_64 RHEL 5.4 Alpha
Comment 2 Jane Lv 2009-06-23 05:57:34 UTC 
Piketon platform has IbexPeak chipset.
Comment 3 DongpoLiu 2009-06-26 08:46:53 UTC 
we can also see almost the same issue at Piketon + Lynnfiled SDV (IbexPeak chipset).

in dmesg, we can see hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC883, trying auto-probe
from BIOS...
Comment 4 Jaroslav Kysela 2009-07-08 07:59:18 UTC 
This bug might be similar to bug#509526 . Is x86_64 installation affected, too?
Comment 5 DongpoLiu 2009-07-09 02:07:12 UTC 
Lynnfield with RHEL 5.4 Beta x86_64 OS, we can get audio output although some issue with back pannel.
