From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: After each reboot I have to set PCM volume from 0 to some sane value in order to be able to hear sound output. This bug might be in gnome-volume-control (there is no such Component, so I have selected system-config-soundcard) In gnome-volume-control, there are two "entries": 1. Realtek ALC658 rev 0 (OSS MIxer) 2. VIA 823x rev60 (Alsa Mixer) If I set PCM value in the first one value other than 0, I can here sound. Until that, sound card is playing (it is visible e.g. in xmms), but no sound comes out. Here is relevant part of lsmod output: Module Size Used by snd_mixer_oss 14017 2 snd_via82xx 24165 6 snd_ac97_codec 58821 1 snd_via82xx snd_pcm 83529 2 snd_via82xx snd_timer 25413 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 8393 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm gameport 4033 1 snd_via82xx snd_mpu401_uart 7361 1 snd_via82xx snd_rawmidi 21733 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 6473 1 snd_rawmidi snd 45349 15 snd_mixer_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 7713 3 snd Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-soundcard-1.2.8-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot into FC2 2. run xmms on some ogg files (no sound coming out) 3. run Gnome Volume control 4. set PCM to value higher than 0 5. sound comes out Actual Results: first, no sound was comming out. After setting PCM value by gnome volume contronl, sound come out. Expected Results: after each reboot, I want PCM value to be set to value higher than 0. Additional info:
Isn't it a dup of #119866 ?
well, sort of. I'd say it should primarily unmute the volume initially and then remember the settings. The fact, that it does not remember the settings, is IMHO a separate bug.
This isn't system-config-soundcard's job. However, please attach your /etc/modprobe.conf and state which version of the modutils you have, and we'll see where the bug could lie.
This issue is fixed in FC3, however for completenes I'm attaching FC3 modprobe.conf and modutils version: alias eth0 e100 alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx options snd-card-0 index=0 install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx && /usr/sbin/als actl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/mod probe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 module-init-tools version 3.1-pre5
I have this issue too on my Dell Inspiron 8600 (using FC3). The 'Master' sound setting seems to get stored, but headphones and PCM gets muted on each reboot. Here is the content of my modprobe.conf: alias eth0 b44 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 ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd alias eth1 ipw2100 options quickcam compatible=255 alias char-major-195* nvidia alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio options snd-card-1 index=1 install snd-usb-audio /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-usb-audio && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-usb-audio { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-usb-audio alias char-major-195* nvidia alias char-major-195* nvidia alias char-major-195* nvidia alias char-major-195* nvidia
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
This issue is fixed for me know with FC4, so as far as I am concerned this bug can be closed as fixed.
I did some tests and it looks fine in FC4, please reopen it if you still have this problem...
