Description of problem: Installed Fedora 7 on used Fujitsu FMV-7000 NA 5. Executing menu "System -> Administration -> Soundcard Detection" shows: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device snd-ali5451 But test sound is not audible. I assured using "System --> Preferences --> Personal --> Volume" that volume was turned on. Also, I installed all recommended updates for Fedora7. Still no success. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always -- have rebooted many times Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Fedora7 using ALi M5451 soundcard (potentially on my machine?) Actual results: no sound Expected results: sound Additional info: yum shows me that I have the following two (but not more) alsa- packages installed: alsa-utils.i386 1.0.14-0.7.rc2.fc7 installed alsa-lib.i386 1.0.14-0.4.rc3.fc7 installed When I run 'alsamixer' from the command line, it works but it shows no reaction when I play the test sounds from the menus. [Bugzilla Bug 145210 did not seem exactly related to my problem -- my soundcard is detected, after all]
can you please attach /root/scsconfig.log and /root/scsrun.log? They can be generated by system-config-soundcard.
Created attachment 160092 [details] copy of /root/scsconfig.log

After installing today's available updates, all of a sudden the sound started working... no idea why! So for me, right now there is no immediate need anymore to get farther into this. But please tell me if you need any more information concerning this case... Thanks Matthias
what do you have in /proc/asound/version?
/proc/asound/version is empty
huh, that's quite strange. okay, closing as WORKSFORME.
