Does gnome-volume-control show a sound card?

Have you tried turning up the volume with gnome-volume-control?

Comment 2 Ilya Ryabinkin 2009-09-18 18:28:21 UTC
1. Yes

2. Yes, with no effect

Comment 3 Ilya Ryabinkin 2009-09-18 18:30:23 UTC
Someone reports, It works once user has has been added to 'audio' group, http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1259271&postcount=14

Hmm, that suggests that the low level mixer is not set up properly for some reason. Could you please play around with "alsamixer -c0" in a terminal and see if you can get it working? If you notice that toggling one control or changing the volume of another makes things work then please remember exactly which one and tell us, so that we can set them by default.

That would suggest you have a permission problem and the card woldn't even show up in g-v-c. So since you said it shows up, this is not the problem here.

No, I cannot confirm. Sounds are not working.

Yes, I expressly wrote that this will unlikely fix the issue for you. 

What about the "alsamixer -c0" stuff I suggested above? And luck with that?

Comment 7 Ilya Ryabinkin 2009-09-19 14:03:31 UTC
alsamixer -c0 did not help. It recognized my card as
Card: Intel ICH6
│ Chip: SigmaTel STAC9750,51
│ View: [Playback] Capture  All

All channels are unmuted and set to non-zero values. Many combinations were tested in "Sound preferences". No luck. No sound at all.

Comment 8 Ilya Ryabinkin 2009-09-19 14:15:54 UTC
Updates:

Plugged headphones are working! But:
1. I hear a great background hum
2. pulsaudio daemon died after a few attempts to play sound with message:
  E: mainloop.c: Assertion 'e->callback' failed at pulse/mainloop.c:711, function dispatch_pollfds(). Aborting.
Aborted

Comment 9 Ilya Ryabinkin 2009-09-20 19:07:21 UTC
Sounds seem to work for me on Fedora 12 Snap3 http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ (i686)

Comment 10 Lennart Poettering 2009-09-29 04:35:35 UTC
OK, closing then, since this seems to work now.

(Most likely this was just a missing model=xxx parameter to the intel-hda driver)
