Description of problem: No sound after upgrading to Fedora 7, on a system with Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! EMU10k1. It worked on Fedora Core 6. Admin/Soundcard detection correctly detects card, but tests produce no sound. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I believe the relevant file is: /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko So "rpm -qif /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko" produces Name : kernel Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.6.21 Vendor: Koji Release : 1.3194.fc7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 6, works fine. 2. Boot Fedora Core "Recover" disk, upgrade to Fedora 7. 3. System->Admin->Soundcard detection. Push "Play" button in sound test. 4. Changing SELinux to "Permissive" doesn't help. Actual results: No sound. Expected results: Hear test sound.

Sound does NOT work when booting directly from the Fedora 7 Live CD. So it's a problem with Fedora 7, whether you upgrade or boot it directly, with Creative Labs' "Soundblaster Live! EMU10k1". Since it worked under Fedora Core 6, and nothing changed between, something made it not work.
please update your system, run system-config-soundcard, switch to "System" page, select "Rewrite configuration file" and reboot your box.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did what you suggested, but no joy. I will regenerate and repost scsconfig.log in case that gives any hints.

I have same (DELL Dimension 8300) EMU10K1 problem ... works with FC6, upgrade to F7 and no sound.
It appears that the EMU10K doesn't work on Fedora 7 for others as well. "tyront" reports on "Fedoraforum.org", here: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-156521.html Subject "Sound blaster 5.1 live not working in fedora 7". tyront reports that EMU10k worked on Fedora Core 5 and 6, but while all the STATUS reports say it's working, no sound comes out with Fedora 7. That's the same experience I have.
FYI, kernel upgrade doesn't help, still no sound with emu10k1. I upgraded everything Friday, including the kernel. It's now running (/proc/version): "Linux version 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 (kojibuilder.phx.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070502 (Red Hat 4.1.2-12)) #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 14:39:26 EDT 2 007". I then did Admin/Soundcard detection, no sound. I even did System/Rewrite configuration files, and then tried again. No sound. Any ideas on what to test/look for?
Please check the new drivers - http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa/
Thanks for the pointer! But sadly, the new drivers and other tips didn't help. I re-updated the kernel, alsa, etc. I then examined the tips here: http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa/ I tried using aplay and alsaunmute; no errors, but no sound. I then downloaded and installed the pointed-to drivers; I installed them using: rpm -i alsa-driver-1.0.14-61.fc7.i386.rpm alsa-driver-devel-1.0.14-61.fc7.i386.rpm alsa-kmdl-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7-1.0.14-61.fc7.i586.rpm I think that's correct; I have an x86, no PAE kernel, and /proc/version says: Linux version 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 (kojibuilder.phx.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070502 (Red Hat 4.1.2-12)) #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 14:39:26 EDT 2007 Rebooted - no sound. I then went through soundcard detection; no errors, but when trying to play the sound, there's no still no sound. I'm out of ideas on this one. Any other ideas/requests for information?
I idea what's wrong. Please report it to upstream (ALSA project) and ask / file bug there. They're authors of linux sound system should be able to help you.... anyway, new drivers are in updates for F7...
A similar problem here on a Dell Optiplex GX260 running F8. Test sound works in System->Administration->Sound Card Detection but no devices are listed in System->Preferences->Hardware->Sound I have stripped out all the PulseAudio packages to see if that was being problematic but it got no better (or worse). Just silent except for the sound card test that works perfectly. lspci reports: 02:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs [SB Live! Value] EMU10k1X 02:07.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs [SB Live! Value] Input device controller
Regarding Comment #3: The option on that tab are "Restore configuration files" and "Reset configuration files". It is not entirely clear which one "Rewrites configuration files"
Created attachment 286131 [details] scsconfig.log from Dell Optiplex GX260 Attaching scsconfig.log to bug. The system seems to recognize that there is a sound card present. Just not usable by any applications.
I can happily report that as of kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8, the soundcard on my Dell Optiplex GX260 is properly detected and works as expected. Thanks.
