From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: Fedora Core 2 Test 1 alsa-lib incorrectly selects Mute on all options. Work around is to leave alsa-mixer open on desktop, and de-select Mute and manually move the sliders to accomodate your desired settings. This is simply annoying! :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-lib-1.0.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. no sound 3. Actual Results: No sound Expected Results: Sound Additional info:
I very much agree as I posted my comments in a similar bug but they stated it was not a bug http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=115688 Alsa defaults the volume to mute. However in firstboot there is no option to unmute the volume to listen to the sample sound when you test your soundcard. Even if we leave alsa to mute, we should provide someway in firstboot to over ride it so the user an successfully test their card.
It's not a bug that alsa starts muted. There are various potential ways to work around this/deal with this.
So what are the ways to work around this, that doesn't require major hassles in loading gnome-alsamixer and leaving mixer open during your session. That'a perhaps a bug of gnome-alsamixer??
