I was going to post an update last night but thought about something. Turns out that since I restored default configurations after upgrading to F16, I overwrote my old groups file. My user was not added to the audio group, among others. Once I added my user back to the audio group, and rebooted, sound started working properly. Strangely, pulseaudio seems to be started within X now, as the user that logs in. Not sure if this is a change from F15, but I'd personally prefer to see pulse running as root via systemd if at all possible -- systemctl restart pulseaudio does nothing as far as I can tell. User error. Closing the bug. |
Created attachment 536978 [details] All of the output people normally paste into the description box Description of problem: I have a Thinkpad W500 with sound that is not working in F16, whereas it did work in F15. I performed an upgrade, rather than a clean install. The System Settings>Sound>Hardware tab shows no devices, however alsamixer and alsactl do detect the device. Since this may be a pulse issue rather than alsa, I've selected pulseaudio as the component. If you think, after further diagnosis, that this is pulse, please feel free to change it and fill in the correct people. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.23-1.fc16 How reproducible: 100%, every boot Steps to Reproduce: 1. Power on system 2. Hear no sound 3. Actual results: No sound Expected results: Working...sound? Additional info: See attachment for all of the details such as lsmod, yum list [all|installed], lspci, and more
