User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
I can't load the i810_audio module and therefore I can't have sound on my PC.
dmesg writes :
Intel 810 + AC97 Audio, version 0.22, 13:45:06 Sep  4 2002
PCI: Found IRQ 3 for device 00:1f.5
PCI: Sharing IRQ 3 with 00:1f.3
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64
i810: Intel ICH4 found at IO 0xe080 and 0xe400, IRQ 3
i810_audio: Codec not ready.. wait.. no response.
i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels.
i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode.
i810_audio: Primary codec not ready.

I have this problem with and without ac97.o and ac97_codec.o loaded !

The sound configurator regnonize well my soundcard, but it can't play a sound.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.modprobe i810_audio
2.dmesg

I having the exact same problem here, but replacing drivers/sound/i810_audio.c
with the version from the latest 2.4-ac kernel and recompiling made it work.
(At least as far as the sound configurator and menu "noise" anyway)

Comment 2 Doug Ledford 2002-11-08 17:58:02 UTC

The 0.24 version of the i810_audio driver solves this problem.  Alan Cox has
that version of the driver, I don't.  My last version was 0.22 unfortunately. 
Arjan, the 0.24 driver is in the ac patches and is queued currently to go in to
Marcello after 2.4.20 final comes out (so it will be in 2.4.21-pre).

Comment 6 Damien Miller 2002-12-18 01:56:54 UTC

A workaround which gets me going is to comment out the calls to aumix-minimal in
/etc/modules.conf. You will of course lose your mixer settings upon each reboot
- but the soundcard does work.

Comment 7 Les Blaine 2003-04-18 18:38:48 UTC

What is the status on case number #76830.  
I also run RedHat v8 on an Intel Motherboard with the same integrated audio 
chipset.  

The comment by Mr Ledford indicates the fix will be implemented in a future RH 
v9 (2.4.21) release?
Case #54459 looks similar, status NEW, but has a 2001 post date, no change in 
status.

Comment 8 Alan Cox 2003-06-10 18:01:19 UTC

Should be resolved in the 2.4.20 based errata kernel

Comment 9 Les Blaine 2003-07-20 23:16:01 UTC

Thanks for fixing this problem.  The kernel 2.4.20-18.8 fixed the audio driver
problem for my hardware/software configuration.  H/W Details below:

P4 2.40B Ghz
Intel D845PESV Motherboard, Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio
Intel Corp. 82801BD PRO/100 Ethernet
Jatron 3D Force B-32Plus APG Video Card, Nvidia Riva TNT-2/M64
Adaptec AIC-7861

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
