Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 119582
Intel i8x0 issue
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:39 EST
Description of problem: During installation clicking "Play Test Sound" the first time does not work. I have to click it twice. The second time the sound works. But this seems to be reset on every reboot, the alsa mixer settings seem to not be being saved correctly. To get sound working again after a reboot I have been able to use the System Settings -> Soundcard Detection Tool. Sometimes it works on the first try, sometimes on the second try. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2-T2 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Reboot Machine 2.Try to play sounds, it doesn't work 3.Open System Settings -> Soundcard Detection, click "Play Test Sound" twice Actual results: Working sound after 2 tries. Expected results: Working Sound Additional info: This should work on the first try and not be reset on every reboot
I have an 810 card also. My sound level was not heard on the first click. I readjusted myvolume level on my speakers and clicked again. This time,it blasted out loudly. This should work on the first try. Working on the second try is good, except I'm a bit deaf now.
Please try 1.2.8-1 or later.
I completed a fresh install from today's rawhide build. Sound worked on first click. I think the whole installation is in a pretty decent state. Thanks, Not sure if M Gavin is having issues still. Jim
I believe that Bill's update has fixed this bug. Gavin, please reopen this bug if you are still seeing this behavior from the updated packages.
*** Bug 120313 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
system-config-soundcard-1.2.8-1 is in RHEL4 Alpha4 as well as Fedora.
Tried RHEL4A4 WS x86-64 on a xw4200 and xw8200. Sound is still not audible at firstboot. After booted, only once I've increased the PCM and Phone-in Volume controls do I start to hear audio - such as playing a wav file.
Kim, The issue you are seeing with the default volume of zero is a different issue than the original bug report. This bug report was caused by a race condition where system-config-soundcard was trying to play the test sound before the module had actually be loaded. Please take a look at bug #126212 for the bug report related to the zero default volume level.
