From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1 Description of problem: New HP m7060n Media Center PC. (Private ASUS motherboard with integrated sound.) Install FC3 core (workstation config) from scratch. Sound chip is not detected. Core is "up2date" From Specs sheet: Integrated Intel High Definition (TM) audio (Azalia) o Realtek ALC 880 chipset o THX certification support o 8-channels for Full Dolby 5.1/6.1/7.1 surround sound support with Dolby Pro Logic IIx o Dolby 5.1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-lib-1.0.6-7.FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Blow away Fedora Install 2. Install from FC3 DVD 3. Follow all prompts. 4. Kudzu detects 8802 chip on first boot, click "configure", Kudzu disappears. 5. /usr/bin/system-config-soundcard => "No Soundcards were detected." Actual Results: Anaconda does not prompt for any sound card information during install. Kudzu detects "new hardware" but "configure" just makes it go away. Expected Results: Ideally, sound system would be detected and configured and I could continue to be an ignorant newbie and just enjoy using Fedora instead of "the other OS" which works fine with the hardware. Additional info: I could not find anything similar enough using search facilities, this seems to be the stuff that experts ask for: lspci -v excerpt: 02:04.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8802 (rev 05) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.: Unknown device 4823 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 169 Memory at ce000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2 lsmod excerpt: cx8800 34765 0 v4l1_compat 17605 1 cx8800 v4l2_common 9793 1 cx8800 cx88_blackbird 18501 0 cx8802 14277 1 cx88_blackbird cx88xx 51797 3 cx8800,cx88_blackbird,cx8802 i2c_algo_bit 13001 1 cx88xx video_buf 25413 4 cx8800,cx88_blackbird,cx8802,cx88xx btcx_risc 8905 3 cx8800,cx8802,cx88xx videodev 13633 3 cx8800,cx88_blackbird,cx88xx
Current sound drivers in Linux don't support this hardware for sound output. You can send your request directly to ALSA project, www.alsa-project.org and people here can make driver for your sound card.
For future readers: This board is supported in ALSA 1.0.9rc2. My sound system is now functional. Thanks for your assistance.
