From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030816

Description of problem:
The built-in sound hardware with the Intel 865G chipset used in Dell's OptiPlex
GX270 machines is not supported with the current kernel.  Running
redhat-config-soundcard results in a dialog that says ``No soundcards were
detected.''

The card can be seen with lspci

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB AC'97 Audio (rev 02)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.20-20.9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the machine
2. Run redhat-config-soundcard as root

    

Actual Results:  The program opened a dialog reading ``No soundcards were
detected.''

Expected Results:  A sound card should be detected and initialized.

wrdieter posted a patch to address this problem to Dell's forums, viewable at

Comment 2 C.M. Connelly 2003-09-18 21:40:41 UTC
Sound works with kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2049.nptl and
redhat-config-soundcard-1.0.8-2 from Rawhide, although redhat-config-soundcard
claims that the sound hardware is not supported.  (It detects the card, but
still gives a warning about not being able to load the kernel module.  It does,
though, and the sound works fine.)

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/
