Description of problem: No sound for Sony Vaio vgn-sz15gp/b using the latest download from Fedora Core 5 Go to system, Administrator, soundcard detection. Detection of audio device is successful but no sound produce. Message was to report to bugzilla.redhat.com if no sound is heard. The system also cannot boot up if I switch from stamina to speed mode. System can only boot up using stamina mode. Actual results: Expected results: Should be able to play music and movies with sound system Additional info:
Sounds like that's not an X problem. Kicking to s-c-soundcard for triage. Please attach the output of lspci.
Please attach /root/scsound.log file.
It's a duo boot, Win XP and Fedora. Sound is internal card with speaker attached. The WinXP has got no problem with the sound. Not sure what you meant by output of lspci ?
lspci is a limux command line utility

You have quite old ALSA driver packages, please update your kernel (there is a kernel update for FC5 - 2.6.17) and check my how-to - http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa/

Where is the alsa-driver-xxxx directory speciffied in the document ? 2. Which dev pkg - kernel-devel-xxx.rpm package am I suppose to install form my current pkg ? 3. Can u provide the detail installation instruction for 7 ? Yours Sincerely, Karen LIm
Update your kernel (and kernel-devel) packages first (from fedora updates) and then you can check the driver update. alsa-driver-xxxx is only alias for the actual driver version, so it's the alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2 (for alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2.tar.bz2) now. The alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2 directory will be created by tar during uncompression of the alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2.tar.bz2 package.

What directory to specified ? There is an error 1 if I just run onto the alssa-driver-xxxx directory. What is the make {install-module} refer ? Sorry, I am not a Linux guru.
Just uncompress the alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2.tar.bz2 file, enter the alsa-driver-1.0.12rc2 directory and run here ./configure, make, make install (as root). btw. You have to have the latest kernel for FC5.

You have to have the latest kernel for FC5. For your information, I tried that and could not get it. However, you can close the case as I have change to using SUSE 10.1 and got my sound card working!
Could you attach your /proc/asound/version? (from SUSE 10.1)
