Description of problem: No sound works with with the new 2.6.6-1.427 kernel. 2.6.5-1.358 is fine. I have a nForce2 AC97 sound card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.6-1.427 How reproducible: When I press play in Rhythmbox, nothing happens. When I play a sound file with mpg123, it plays a short burst of music, then stops.
I also have the same problem with an nforce board however my sound card is a Sound Baster Audiogy.. Modules get loaded great, just when I go to play something I get a short note and then a pause, and a short note. Kernel is 1.6.6-1.435 but also happened in 2.6.6-1.427
Same problem with intel8x0 (SIS7012). Kernel 2.6.5-1.358 is ok, but 2.6.6-1.435 and 2.6.6-1.427 are buggy. arts write this stuff> ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:494:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed:Broken pipe and lsmod information Module Size Used by snd_pcm_oss 41000 0 snd_mixer_oss 13824 2 snd_pcm_oss udf 71172 0 snd_intel8x0 26796 3 snd_ac97_codec 54788 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm 69256 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0 snd_timer 17284 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 8072 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm gameport 3328 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_mpu401_uart 4864 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 17444 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 6152 1 snd_rawmidi snd 39396 12 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 6112 2 snd modprobe.conf alias eth0 8139too alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 alias usb-controller ohci-hcd alias char-major-195* nvidia alias net-pf-10 off
This is fixed with 2.6.7. $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 (bhcompile.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)) #1 Tue Aug 3 09:39:58 EDT 2004
Uh, are you sure this was fixed with 2.6.7? Because I'm running 2.6.8 (upgraded from 2.6.5), and still have the alsa problem. It prints out this message: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:494:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed:Broken pipe I can't play music/sound in more than one application at a time. I think this is because OSS (what I'm using) doesn't allow multiple processes using the sound channel at once. I really wish I could get alsa working because that would probably support multi-application sound.
It worked for me. I never knew what was wrong. It still works fine with my latest kernel: $ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.9-1.667 (bhcompile.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)) #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004
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.
