From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: sound card ali5451 is detected and mixers controls work but sound is just not coming aout of speakers. This happens on last two 2.6.10 released kernels updates but not with previous 2.6.9 kernels. pci=routeirq didn´t help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.10-1.741 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot a 2.6.10 kernel instead of a 2.6.9 2. 3. Actual Results: sound didn´t work Expected Results: sound should work Additional info: machine is a laptop medion md40888 www.medion.co.uk
sound is still broken in the latest testing kernel. To summarize: WORKING kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.i686 kernel-2.6.9-1.724_FC3.i686 NOT WORKING kernel-2.6.10-1.737_FC3.i686 kernel-2.6.10-1.753_FC3.i686 kernel-2.6.10-1.741_FC3.i686
Looks like there is a way to fix sound on the kernels marked above as "not working" as it´s been reported on the net by someone. The fix consists in muting "headphone jack sense" "line jack sense" mixers setting via any mixer setting programs like "volume control", "alsa mixer" and similar. Theese setting were apparently introduced in 2.6.10 and are meant to mute speakers when headphones or line-in jacks are plugged in. I'm still not convinced that the actual behaviour is normal but I´m going to close this bug anyway becouse the sound IS working after all. Someone that understand well how theese "jack sense" things are supposed to behave will possibly report a new bug on the issue.
