Description of problem:I have tried this with both Core 3/Test 3 and Core 3/RC3 (http://fedora.linux.duke.edu/FC3-rc/3/) The iso's were downloaded and burned to CDs. The soundcard problems I am having have NOT occured with Core 2, and did not occure with Core 3 test 1. I have verified that the soundcard is working (booted XP). On First Boot, the sound card is "seen" by the system. Vendor: Intel Model: Corp.82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller Module: snd-intel8x0. When I play a test sound, I get NO SOUND. I tried running /usr/bin/system-config-soundcard. I get the GUI popup, but again no sound. In the terminal window I get the following messages: Playing WAVE '/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound- sample.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Warning: rate is not accurate (requested - 44100 Hz, got = 48000Hz) please try the plug plugin (-Dplug:hw:0,0) aplay: pcm_write:1115: write error: Input/output error Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always with FC3/Test 3 and FC3/RC3 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Sound configuration fails. Attempt to play CD produces no sounds 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Never had this problem with Core 1 or Core 2. No hardware changes have been made Additional info:
Any errors related to the sound card if you run 'dmesg'?
Using the same sound hardware and F3/Test 3, and get sound working, but only quite arbitrarily: first I must run "system-config-soundcard" after every boot and then it is less likely to work playing audio CD:s then audio files.
I ran a 'dmesg' command. However, I found no references at all to the sound card or audio.
The I/O error seems suspiciously like a kernel driver bug.
i have an issue that seems to be very related, possibly the same. my machine is a fc3t3 x86-64 system freshly installed a week or so ago. no updates have been applied. when the machine boots, i get no sound with xmms. all modules related to sound are loaded, all seems normal, except there is no sound. then i run the sysconfig, which recognizes the card, and plays the sounds ok. there is a deep "click" when system-config-soundcard is started. it's as if the sound channel was muted. in case it helps, here is what i get: [12:37:25](2)rome:~$ system-config-soundcard Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Front Left: Playback 23 [74%] [on] Front Right: Playback 23 [74%] [on] Playing WAVE '/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 44100Hz, got = 48000Hz) please, try the plug plugin (-Dplug:hw:0,0) [12:37:46](2)rome:~$ note that /var/log/messages and the output of dmesg do not show _any_ difference from before the config program runs to after. same thing in lsmod. for the record, my lsmod is this: [12:44:55](2)rome:~$ lsmod Module Size Used by loop 13777 0 nvidia 5295860 12 md5 4417 1 ipv6 267265 10 parport_pc 26497 1 lp 12593 0 parport 46285 2 parport_pc,lp autofs4 27337 0 it87 26089 0 i2c_sensor 3393 1 it87 i2c_isa 2625 0 sunrpc 180409 1 dm_mod 57513 0 button 6241 0 battery 8649 0 asus_acpi 12249 0 ac 4425 0 raw1394 36313 0 dv1394 26681 0 ohci1394 37081 1 dv1394 ieee1394 361425 3 raw1394,dv1394,ohci1394 ohci_hcd 24145 0 ehci_hcd 34501 0 tuner 20333 0 tvaudio 23521 0 tda7432 8801 0 bttv 181133 0 video_buf 22213 1 bttv i2c_algo_bit 8777 1 bttv v4l2_common 6849 1 bttv btcx_risc 4425 1 bttv i2c_core 22337 8 it87,i2c_sensor,i2c_isa,tuner,tvaudio,tda7432,bttv,i2c_algo_bit videodev 10049 1 bttv snd_bt87x 13737 2 snd_intel8x0 37173 5 snd_ac97_codec 80833 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_pcm_oss 54009 0 snd_mixer_oss 17985 3 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 108749 4 snd_bt87x,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 31305 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 8913 3 snd_bt87x,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm gameport 4033 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_mpu401_uart 9921 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_rawmidi 27365 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 7885 1 snd_rawmidi snd 53673 19 snd_bt87x,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device soundcore 9953 3 snd forcedeth 20289 0 floppy 67441 0 ext3 127313 5 jbd 82545 1 ext3 sata_nv 7749 1 libata 40137 1 sata_nv sd_mod 16193 2 scsi_mod 132321 2 libata,sd_mod [12:44:56](2)rome:~$ thanks for your interest.

Some individuals have had success with adding snd-intel8x0m to /etc/hotplug/blacklist. See: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004- November/msg00734.html However, I tried that "fix" and it did not work for me.
The 'fix' in comment #8 did not work for me either.
Great it works for me, thanks :) Laptop : Acer Aspire 1681 WLMi & kernel 2.6.9-1.667
I've managed to get it sort of working with the following. 1. Black list snd-intel8x0m. Not too certain it's still needed, but what the hey... 2. Installing the alsa-driver from http://atrpms.net/dist/fc3/alsa-driver/ 3. From http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intel&card=i820&chip=i820&module=intel8x0 I got the section about editing /etc/asound.conf. Here I had to set the period_size to 512 and keep the rate hard-coded to 44100. Now it seems sound is /mostly/ working... I still get the occational click, but its a hell of a lot better than no sound. And to think it worked perfectly under FC2 and I just /had/ to go upgrade to FC3...
I tried the solution offered by Mr. Roux (Comment #11). This solution also worked for me. I now get sound!! Perhaps this should be rolled out as an "update" ?
By way of follow-up, I found I still needed the entry in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. (Also requires a reboot after adding to blacklist). See comment #8 (above)
I went on to remove the Packages from Axel Thimm's site, and it seems that my sound is still as functional as before... It thus seems to break down to these two requirements: 1. Black listing snd-intel8x0m in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. 2. Create /etc/asound.conf as per my previous message. Perhaps Terry can confirm?
Yes, I concur. My "fix" was to create /etc/module.conf with the following entries: #ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss AND, I have the entry (as described above) in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. Interesting that my file name is /etc/modules.conf, and Mr. Roux has /etc/asound.conf. Not sure what that means.
Is it /etc/modules.conf (in the plural) or /etc/module.conf (singular)? (I will try anyway.)
In actual fact, in FC3 the modules configuration file is called /etc/modprobe.conf It used to be /etc/modules.conf in FC2, though.
/etc/modules.conf (plural form). In reference to comment #16. I was unaware of the information in #17 until just now. In fact, I did indeed *create* /etc/modules.conf.
Hello! I have the same bug\problem. When installation was completed and in post install mode I hear the sound. But after I restarted a PC the sound is gone. I tried many ways to fix it but without results.

oops, sorry, I wanted to say in previous message: "I also tryed to play with alsaconf, but no success. And also it's interesting to me - the value of PCM CAN'T be changed at all - there is a zero. ". Please excuse me for my english. Can somebody help me to fix it? Thanks.
Hello! Any updates on my problem? Very want to hear sound, view movies with sound, play games with sound, especcially when I have 3Ghz with 1Gb of RAM... Cause all working fine, except sound. Please help me. Thanks
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
Using FC4, this is still a problem. Less hackery was needed, but I still needed to blacklist the softmodem. Unfortunately I cannot update this to FC4, so Terry or one of the @redhat.com people will have to do it for us.
Got the same problem on FC4 with latest updates, chipset 82801DB/DBL/DBM. Blacklist didn't work for me. system-config-soundcard detects: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 module: snd-intel8x0 When it runs it displays on command line: amixer: Unable to find simple control 'PCM-2',0 amixer: Unable to find simple control 'DRC Range',0 Playing WAVE '/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo I'll attach lscpi -vv list. Should I provide any other info to help fix this?
