My guess is that there is some kind of problem with the sound drivers

Comment 1 Chris Nolan 2009-10-02 17:12:49 UTC
Same here on 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64

I am having to boot to previous kernel 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 to get sound.

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

Let me know if I can provide more info.

Comment 2 Rakesh Jain 2009-10-02 18:36:27 UTC
Same here for me also in kernel-PAE-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686

The system details are:

Processor Information
	Socket Designation: J1PR
	Type: Central Processor
	Family: Pentium D
	Manufacturer: Intel(R) Corporation
	Signature: Type 0, Family 6, Model 23, Stepping 6
On Board Device Information
	Type: Sound
	Status: Enabled
	Description: Intel(R) High Definition Audio Device



Let me know if I can provide more details on this.

Comment 3 Eduard Benes 2009-10-14 13:30:28 UTC
I'm having probably related issue with pulseaudio. When playing audio files (mp3, flac) in amarok (2.2.0-2.fc11.i586)
the playback occassionally clicks (or pauses and resumes in a milisecond?).
This appears to be related to syslog messages listed below, causing my log file to grow and grow. (not to mention those annoying clicks in the playback ;-) )
I'll file a new bug if this is a separate issue, or bug in different component (pulseaudio).

Kernel: 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE 
Pulseaudio: pulseaudio-0.9.15-17.fc11
Audio device:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2009-10-20 21:07:46 UTC
Eduardo's issue has been split off as 529204. Let's keep this for the 'sound broken by kernel -64' bug. Just for the record.

Can we please get 'alsa-info.sh --no-upload' output from each reporter (except Eduardo)? Thanks.

As requested.

same for kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64 ...

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2009-10-28 21:44:58 UTC
So both MacBooks, but different models (a MacBook4,1 and a MacBookPro5,2). Different audio controllers.

Can you both create a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf with this content:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

and reboot, see if that changes anything? Thanks.

Comment 8 Chris Nolan 2009-10-28 22:26:06 UTC
Hi Adam, thanks for your attention to this ticket, I hope we can get this resolved.

I tried both the following in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf with no joy:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3

The latter is what used to fix the sound in Fedora 8 on this machine, but since Fedora 9, and up until kernel 2.6.30.8.fc11 this has not been required and sound worked just fine "out of the box". Now it's broken again and we have to run old kernels :(

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2009-10-28 22:36:16 UTC
yeah, I was asking in case some new quirk has been added that was wrong for your hardware. model=auto overrides all hardcoded quirks and tells it to just use auto-detection.

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2009-10-28 22:37:01 UTC
btw, do you have time to check with Fedora 12 Beta and see if it works there, so we know if this is still broken in 12 or if it was fixed with the newer kernel?

Comment 11 Chris Nolan 2009-10-29 21:22:46 UTC
Hi Adam, I just checked with F12 Beta x86_64 Live CD and the sound worked just fine there on my system. Can this be fixed in F11? 

Would be nice to know what is causing it so that the same regression isn't introduced into the F12 kernel!

Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2009-10-30 00:11:04 UTC
it almost certainly _can_ be fixed, that info should help Jaroslav track down what changed, I hope he'll have the time to fix up f11. Jaroslav?

Comment 13 Chris Nolan 2009-12-03 19:58:53 UTC
Just an update:

I am now using 2.6.30.9-99.fc11.x86_64 and the sound has come back. I went in to "alsamixer", selected the "HDA Intel" soundcard and noticed that "Speaker" was muted. I unmuted that, did a "alsactl store" and all seems good. Not sure if this means I am no longer using pulseaudio, but sound works.

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2009-12-03 20:07:59 UTC
no reason that would stop you using pulseaudio. it's easy to check - run pavucontrol and see if you can monitor things from there.

Comment 15 Chris Nolan 2009-12-03 20:19:16 UTC
Thanks Adam. Pulseaudio seems to be working just fine. For me this bug has now gone away.

Maybe the other reporters can try fiddling with alsamixer and see if they can get their sound back too?

Comment 16 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 10:37:24 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  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 '11'.

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 11'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 11 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 17 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 14:51:25 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
