From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040422 Description of problem: Hello, Sound card detection works fine for me and detects the below card: Vendor: Intel Corp Model: 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Control Module: snd-intel8x0 The test sound always plays fine. The problem is I never get any sound before I run system-config-soundcard ("Soundcard Detection" application) and play the test sound. So, I have to run this utility everytime I boot. I'm using GNOME, but this happens with KDE too. This happens on my laptop since FC2 T1, and didn't happen with FC1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-soundcard-1.2.8-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot your computer 2. Run xmms ... no sound (xmms doesn't even complain in GNOME) 3. You have to run system-config-soundcard and play the test sound to be able to hear your OGG files in xmms. Expected Results: system-config-soundcard should only be run once, and its effects should be permanent. I guess it's a matter of loading the right module at startup... Additional info:
I suspect this is the second bug mentioned in bug 119400 where the PCM sound channel is muted by default. To confirm this, you could try running alsamixer from a terminal emulator and ensuring the relevant channels are unmuted and have a reasonable volume (noting particularly the Master and PCM channels).
Hello, I've installed all the updates available on May 10, and I'm no longer facing this issue. Sounds now works as soon as I start a sound application like xmms. You may set this bug as Fixed. Thanks for everything! Cheers, Michael.
