If you play a sound with no esound involved (e.g. just "play something.au", there are probably .au or .wav files on your system if you run "locate *.au") does that work? If that doesn't work either we should move this report to the kernel component instead. I successfully played two .au files using noatun. Then I tried to play some more and they wouldn't play. I tried doing soundcard test again and it wouldn't work. So I guess it is a kernel problem? My kernel is 2.4.20-18.9. Yeah, it sounds to me like it must be the driver for that particular card. Known problem - the esd sound daemon doesnt work with the via823xx audio. I'm investigating that still but don't have a solution yet I have the same problem. The Soundcard Detection works fine, and I can hear the sounds. However, afterwards I cannot hear wav, mp3 or CD's. I tried using Gnome, Kde and the default RH graphic environment getting the same problem. The sound card was detected as "Intel 82801BA/BAM" and is using the module: i810_audio. The kernel version is: 2.4.20-20.9. I am sure it's NOT a hardware problem, because it works just fine under windows. By the way, windows detects the card as: "SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio. Manufactured by Analog Devices Inc." I also made the "*.au" test and it did played well two files. So, it does not seem to be a specific module problem. 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/ |
Description of problem: When I boot the machine, I can play the test sound for my sound card (VIA Technologies, VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller, via82cxxx_audio). If I try to play any sounds using any other programs other than "Soundcard Detection", it will play the sound for half a second and then won't play any more sounds. Then if I try to play the test sound again it won't play. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% reproducible on my machine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot machine. 2. Run "Soundcard Configuration" and play test sound. 3. Play any sound using any other program. You should hear one instant of sound then nothing. 4. Run "Soundcard Configuration" again and try to play test sound. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: For some reason, if I am running Ximian Evolution while trying to play sounds, Evolution will freeze. Also, this is a fresh install of RH9.
