From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040319 Galeon/1.3.14 Description of problem: Loaded snd_intel8x0m module and other alsa sound modules. The sound does not work. Earlier, I built 2.6.4 with separate snd_intel8x0m module - and it worked, produced sound. Audio utilities just find NO output/mixer devices. cat bla.wav > /dev/snd just hangs forever (no craches, no "device not present" messages, nothing in dmesg). Though, I have to admin, the software modem (slmodemd) works just fine (actually, I am using it right now). mixer utilities (for example, gnome-alsamixer) report device "Silicon Laboratory Si3036/8 rev 7" (because this is what /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/mc97#1-1 says). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.319 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 2.6.5-1.319 on HW with the device 2. Try any sound utilities Actual Results: Sound does not work Additional info:
snd_intel8x0m is actually the modem driver so that's not much of a surprise :) snd_intel8x0 is the sound driver.
Well, the prefix snd_ is somewhat misleading. So why on earth I get this "Silicon..." device without any real sound abilities? And why cat > /dev/dsp does not say "no such device"? Actually, the story started when the lad who developed snd_intel8x0m advised me to use it INSTEAD of snd_intel8x0 (then I patched kernel myself and it worked for me).
I am an idiot. Earlier, I had both modules loaded - intel8x0m and intel8x0. Really sorry for bother. Closing it. Just one final question: will fc2 autodetect and autoload the modem module intel8x0m?
