Comment 5 Martin Stransky 2006-02-15 09:48:09 UTC
Could you check "External Amplifier" switch or some other one? It can be a
problem with mixer settings, you can use "alsamixer" utility....

Comment 6 Tru Huynh 2006-02-15 11:28:55 UTC
there's no hardware switches, just Fn+F7/8/9 for sound+/-/mute.
no dice :(

the hardware works fine under win*XP :(

Comment 12 Tru Huynh 2006-02-15 13:37:07 UTC
I have booted in rescue mode from the FC4 CD1 (kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4), and I
can get a system "beep" from the text console, which I could not under the
current kernel (2.6.15-1.1831_FC4) after a normal startup.

I am not sure if it helps, but the RHEL4 update 2 kernel in rescue mode does not
beep (2.6.9-22.EL), nor the current version 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL
with both default alsa-lib and your 1.0.10-1.RHEL4 from
http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa/

command line -> linux rescue acpi=ht



Comment 13 Tru Huynh 2006-02-15 16:59:46 UTC
last news, I have tried the RHEL3 update 6 version:
[root@msi root]# cat /proc/cmdline 
ro root=LABEL=/1 hdb=ide-scsi

system beep ok (init 3)
the card is detected and configured properly -> beep in konsole (init 5)
kernel 2.4.21-37.0.1.EL
/etc/modules.conf
...
alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1
|| :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
...
**but**

when I tried to re-run redhat-config-soundcard, playing the sample test sound
I get:
sox: Unable to set audio speed to 22254 (set to 48000)

and the konsole can no longer beep...

/etc/sysconfig/hwconf:
...

Comment 14 Martin Stransky 2006-02-17 09:46:29 UTC
In RHEL3, OSS is used instead of ALSA. External Amplifier is only a switch
between on/off. I'm quite sure that you only need to check some mixer setting
and sound will work...

Comment 15 Tru Huynh 2006-02-20 10:16:46 UTC
I haven't managed to find the right settings (neither linux version).
In the best case, I have the system beep and as soon as I try to play
anything I get the "Unable to set audio speed ..." error message and no sound.
In the worst case, no system beep and no error messages.

What worries me most is the snd_intel8x0 modules not being loaded
as reported by lsmod(8).

I tried the latest knoppix version (kernel 2.6.12) but the alsa-lib did not
detect the sound card :(

I can't help you with knoppix....

Comment 17 Tru Huynh 2006-02-20 11:34:27 UTC
sure :P I wasn't asking for help on knoppix, just to let you know
that the sound problem was not specific to Fedora/Red Hat!

Thx,

Tru
