Ok interesting. As it happens I bought an inspiron 2600 3 weeks ago, and sound does work for me (but with the latest erratum kernel, haven't tried the original 8.0 kernel much).. what exact kernel are you running ? I'm running 2.4.18-18.8.0 kernel version. Without the changed described above there are no sound in gnome and volume control give a lots of errors such as: bad key or invalid directory name "....../SigmaTel_STAC????/.....: ? is not a valid character Bye, Marco That's strange. I also have an Inspiron 2600 - and this definitely WORKSFORME. Quirk perhaps? Sorry.....Wrong Laptop model.... It's Inspiron 2650 NOT 2600 :-> ah ok that would explain some ;) bug in gnome not in the kernel. :-> ok I must agree with the answer of a Linux Kernel GURU.... Waiting for some pathes on Gnome..... Thanks, Marco PS: is it possible, however, to modify le line as suggested? It's better reading the right name of Sigmatel Chip instead of STAC???? :-> Fixed in newer gnome-media from rawhide. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: This probem discovered into file ac97_codec.c make not possible to configure the sound card using the codec SigmaTel STAC9700, eg. on laptop Dell Inspiron 2600. To solve this problem the instruction at line 148: {0x83847600, "SigmaTel STAC????", &null_ops}, must be substitute with {0x83847600, "SigmaTel STAC9700", &null_ops}, I've tested it on my Dell Inspiron 2600 and now the sound card works properly. I hope, with this note, to help people who have the same problem. Take care, Marco Fortina Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just trying to use Sound card having STAC9700 Codec installed on Actual Results: No sound and errors in gnome volume control Expected Results: Maybe ear a little piece of sound?? :-> Additional info: See above to solve this bug.
