From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 MultiZilla/1.6.2.0 Description of problem: Even after unmuting and setting the master volume and the pcm volume in alsamixer, I can still not get any sound out of any application. I have tried: mplayer -ao alsa9 test.mp3 - does not complain, appears to work but no sound mplayer -ao oss test.mp3 - does not complain, appears to work but no sound mpg321 test.mp3 - does not complain, appears to work but no sound esd - segfaults when I try to run it xmms - segfaults when I try to run it noatun - opens, but silently refuses to play test.mp3 cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp - no sound Also, the KDE sound server gives the error ending with "the sound server will continue with the null output plugin" when I log in. I have also tried compiling kernel 2.6.3 - no difference. Tried different values of dxs_support option in modprobe.conf - no difference. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.1-1.65 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run redhat-config-sound 2. Adjust mixer settings with alsamixer 3. Play test song Actual Results: Test song fails Expected Results: Test song succeeds Additional info:
By the way, I know the hardware (it's an onboard chipset) physically works in some sense because there is a loud beep out of the speakers on every boot-up.
Just tried the OSS driver with my self-compiled kernel 2.6.3. It works fine.
are you aware that alsa defaults to a sound volume of 0? please run alsa-mixer to increase the volume
I am aware of this. The very first line in my bug report starts: "Even after unmuting and setting the master volume and the pcm volume in alsamixer..."
I am also see this problem (ASUS SK8V with Opteron 140). The hardware works fine when I bootup FC1 x86_64 but it does not work with FC2-Test2. enforcing=0 When I try to bring up volume control (the appl) I get a popup message that says "No mixer elements and/or devices found". Yes, /dev/mixer exists and all the modules appear to be loaded.
Hi Robin! I had similar problem, but without segfaulting. Maybe this wiil help you: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123631#c15
fixed in the current errata kernel ?
I will leave this for someone else to address since I have since replaced the sound adapter I am using.
"fixed in the current errata kernel ?" Not for me, at least. I'm also not getting any sound from that same sound adapter, and I had upgraded to 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 through that up2date and did all the things Robin Green did in the beginning of this bug report.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
