Description of problem: Detection of the sound card does not seem to work. Playing a test sound does work however, but other sound utilities like xmms do not work. After pressing "Play test sound" the following error dialog appears: "The snd-intel8x0 driver could not be loaded. This soundcard may not be compatible with Red Hat Linux." Using lsmod shows that the driver is loaded: [root@bluebird mart]# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by snd_mixer_oss 18304 1 snd_intel8x0 34564 1 snd_ac97_codec 52612 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 111880 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_timer 32388 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11652 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 9984 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 28832 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8328 1 snd_rawmidi snd 55012 8 snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 10720 2 snd lp 12652 0 md5 4224 1 ipv6 263552 10 autofs 16512 1 ipt_REJECT 6528 6 iptable_filter 2816 1 (etc) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@bluebird mart]# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.1-1.65 (bhcompile.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.3.2 20040119 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-8)) #1 Fri Jan 30 17:28:54 EST 2004 How reproducible: In Gnome main menu: System Settings - Soundcard detection.

Expected results: Normal operation Additional info: xmms does not work at all. It displays the dialog "Couldn't open Audio" after trying to play ogg-files.
I have the same problems, but when I run the soundcard detection application, and play the test sound... after the error regarding the module is displayed, the sound is successfully played. From then on, sound output is iffy from app to app (xmms, no... gaim, yes... etc.) [root@-]# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.2-1.74 (bhcompile.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.3.2 20040119 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-8)) #1 Tue Feb 10 11:45:55 EST 2004 [root@-]# /sbin/lsmod snd_intel8x0 36520 2 snd_ac97_codec 61700 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 112264 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0 snd_timer 34436 1 snd_pcm gameport 5248 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_page_alloc 12036 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 9984 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 29344 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8456 1 snd_rawmidi snd 57828 11 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 10720 2 snd
THe same thing happens to me, except it never detects my sound card.: [root@cpe-24-208-2-194 root]# /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by ide_cd 39812 0 cdrom 37276 1 ide_cd snd_mixer_oss 19072 1 snd_intel8x0 36520 1 snd_ac97_codec 61700 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 112264 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_timer 34436 1 snd_pcm gameport 5248 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_page_alloc 12036 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 9984 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 29344 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8456 1 snd_rawmidi snd 57828 8 snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 10720 2 snd
Same thing here. But get no sound at all, not even the system bell. lsmod shows: snd_pcm_oss 52900 0 ide_cd 39428 0 cdrom 37020 1 ide_cd snd_mixer_oss 18304 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_intel8x0 34564 1 snd_ac97_codec 52612 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 111880 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0 snd_timer 32388 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11652 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm snd_mpu401_uart 9984 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 28832 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8328 1 snd_rawmidi snd 55012 11 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss, snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart, snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 10720 1 snd
After updating to current rawhide packages, using system-config-soundcard-1.2.4-1, everything appears to be functioning as intended. It detects the soundcard, plays the test sound, questions whether I heard it or not, and never complains about the sound module.
