From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: After I updated my Asus A7N8X Deluxe (nForce 2 version 1.4) I lhave lost sound from the onboard sound chip (nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler (MCP)from listing in the hardware browser). Clicking on the soundcard detection module it shows "The following audio device was detected. Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler Module: snd-intel8x0. When I click "Play Test Sound" I get "Error: Automatic detection of the sound card did not work. Audio will not be available on the system. Please click OK to continue" If I boot to the original kernel I am able to get the sound card to function as it should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel 2.6.6-1.427 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot to the 2.6.6-1.427 kernel 2. Try to play any sound files, or test soundcard 3. Actual Results: no sounds played in soundcard detection: Automatic detection of soundcard did not work Expected Results: Card should be detected as previously. Should be able to hear sounds. Additional info: The original Core 2 (Tettnang) Kernel detects and is able to use the onboard sound chip with out any additional configuration on my end. I can still boot into the other kernel and play my music files without any issues. I also have an old Adaptec 2940 Ultrawide and 2, 8 gig hard drives that seem to function fine. Also my Logitec USB MX500 mouse is working OK. On the previous test kernels I would lose function of the USB mouse a few minutes after boot (3-5 minutes)
Same problem here but with kerenl .435 lsmod |grep snd comes up empty.
Try using pci=nocpi in your grub boot command. ie. title Fedora Core (2.6.7-vanilla8stack) root (hd0,6) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7-vanilla8stack pci=noacpi ro root=LABEL=/1 quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.7-vanilla8stack.img
Well I tried adding the option pci=noacpi to the grub file...(using 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 Kernel) Sound still does not work. I get about 2 seconds of the beginning of the file then silence. Going back to .358 still works fine. other ideas??
mass update for old bugs: Is this still a problem with the 2.6.9 based update kernel ?
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.
