Upgraded to kernel-2.6.3-2.1.238.i686.rpm...now system locks hard when soundcard driver attempts to load under X (running the soundcard-detection utility, as soon as you press "play test sound" it locks up solid, must power off). Tried disabling ACPI and tried pci=usepirqmask as recommended in boot messages. No change.
Upgraded to kernel-2.6.3-2.1.242 ... system no longer locks hard, but still no sound.
be aware that ALSA defaults to a sound volume of zero; could you try running alsa-mixer to increase sound ?
Yes, increasing sound I get either nothing or looping sound from the test tones played by the soundcard detection routine.
Created attachment 98508 [details] output of dmesg from normal boot Maybe this will help, it looks like maybe interrupts are not getting configured properly. Bad BIOS?
Problem still exists on test-2. Volume Control applet reports "No mixer device found" but I can run alsamixer from the commandline...it shows _two_ mixer devices???
Fedora Core 2 Test 2 same problem on Compaq Armada E500, Device information is ES1978 Maestro 2E, driver snd-es1960. output from running alsamixer at command line -> "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device". when attempting to icrease the volume control on the panel the volume bar automatically returns to the bottom.
kernel-2.6.5-1.315 I can get the test sound if I setenforce 0 and I run the soundcard detection from the command line as root... The volume control applet still forces everything back to zero volume and I can't seem to get any sound out of the CD drive either...
did this get fixed with the latest updates ?
This machine is now running FC3. Last time I tested sound worked if OSS compatible devices were used. Native ALSA didn't work.
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.
