From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.3) Gecko/20041005 Description of problem: After attempting to detect the sound card, I get the following popup: The following audio device was detected: Vendor: Intel Model: Corp. 8280BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Module: snd-intel8x0 I then get no sound when I try to play the demo. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.667smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Soundcard Detection 2. Press "Play Test Sound" 3. Actual Results: No sound Expected Results: Sound Additional info: Sound works fine under Fedora Core 1 (I was never able to install Fedora Core 2 on this machine due to SCSI driver problems). When I run the Soundcard Detection program, I get: The following audio device was detected: Vendor: Intel Corp. Model: 8280BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Module: i810_audio This is a dual boot machine with both FC1 and FC3 installed, and I have checked that sound still works under FC1.
I have a similar problem with the snd-intel8x0 module, but it seems to only occur after a few ACPI suspend/resume cycles. Rebooting usually fixes it.
I have similar problem and have no solution, look at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136082
Problem is solved. I checked out bug #136082, and followed some of the procedures there (lspci and running system-config-soundcard from a terminal), and noticed that I didn't get a error when playing the wave file like bednar did. I brought up the volume control GUI and found that the headphone volume was 0, and the headphone was muted. I do not have speakers on this computer, and always use a headphone for sound. I changed volume settings and now system-config-soundcard works. I propose that the headphone volume should not be zeroed or muted when the system is initially installed.
I found that my specific problem is twofold: One is that snd-intel8x0 simply isn't ACPI-safe (so writing a script to unload/reload the sound modules on suspend/resume fixes that), the other is that snd-intel8x0 and snd-intel8x0m (winmodem driver) seem to get into a race condition for the device sometimes, so unloading the modem module eliminates that problem.
Yes, headphone is zero & muted on the initial installed system. Run "alsamixer" from cmdline, increase headphone level and unmute it (`M')... Kevin, this bug is owned by you -- please, set "high" severity. It is real bug problem for desktop newbiers etc. -- therefore, it must be fixed as soon as possible.
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.
May be it is not a kernel issue. IMHO, it will be more robast if system-config-soundcard does unmuting and volume up itself...
This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that have been in NEEDINFO state for several months. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, this is the only method we have of cleaning out stale bug reports where the reporter has disappeared. If you can reproduce this bug with current FC3 updates, please reopen this bug. If you are not the reporter, you can add a comment requesting it be reopened, and someone will get to it asap. If you are not the reporter, but can reproduce this problem against FC4, please open a new bug. Thank you.
