From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I recently installed kernel 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 and have noticed that I did not hear my gnome startup command that plays a .wav file. On further investigation I noticed that the play command, xmms and the test sound of system-config-sound did not occur. In fact these applications seem to hang. These problems did not occur when using previous kernels. The funny thing is that I can hear gnome sound events. I am using a Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 02) sound card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Log in as Gnome user. 2.Sytem startup .wav file can not be heard 3.xmms .wav files and system-config-sound test sound can not be heard. 4. These applications appear to hang. Actual Results: Sound can not be heard from applications. Only Gnome sound events can be heard. Expected Results: Sound could be heard as in previous kernels. Additional info: No error messages. Just no sound from applications.
I am also seeing this with 737 and 741. Using Intel 8x0 here.
There seems to be a workaround - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144742
