Failed to recognize sound card / make it work
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:49 EST
Description of problem: During installation the sound card was correctly recognized (i think), but when i was asked to test play-sound, it sounded nothing, so sound configuration filed. Now a month later (almost) when I thought that let me give it a shot again, I tried running "sndconfig" but I do not find it. On googling I found the following in 1.92 test3 release notes... sndconfig ââ¬â No longer required by mainstream hardware... BTW then post-installation, if one does some tweaking, how does one configure sound for mainstream or non-mainstread sound cards ? Here's info from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf : class: AUDIO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: snd-intel8x0 desc: "Intel Corp.|82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller" vendorId: 8086 deviceId: 24d5 subVendorId: 103c subDeviceId: 12bc pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1f pcifn: 5 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
If just loading the module doesn't work, that's normally a driver issue.
Relevant output of "/sbin/lspci" is: 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) But, FC3-test1 sets everything correctly. All I had to do was to raise the volume levels (perculiar thing about ALSA is they preset vol = 0). Got the hint from the following URL http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=185411
