Description of problem: system-config-soundcard detects my 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio controller on my Dell Inspirion C840 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-soundcard-1.2.2.1 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.run system-config-soundcard 2. 3. Actual results: No test sound is played The message "The snd-intel8x0 driver could not be loaded. This soundcard may not be compatable with Red Hat Linux" Expected results: soundcard detected Additional info: When running FC1 the sound card was detected. I also used Freshrpms.net to incorporate ALSA support into FC1 using the snd-intel8x0 on this same laptop. It worked no problem. I also checked the mixer settings, setting them to full on, but still no detection and no sound.
I still get the error message whenever I run system-config-soundcard, but sound is now working.
I see this problem also.
Should be fixed with system-config-soundcard-1.2.7-3 in Rawhide. Please reopen if you still see this behavior with the new version.
I had the same issue with a C-Media Electronics card (CM8738). It was auto-detected in FC1 but not in FC2 although the FC2 PCI probe does see it. My work-around (forces the right driver load) which works for my setup consistently: Execute `modprobe snd-cmipci` as the root after logging in. I got the driver name from the Hardware Browser.
