Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 250961
My sound card is not automatically detected
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:35 EDT
Description of problem:I installed the latest fedora 7 version on my notebook and when I run system-config-soundcard and press play I hear no sound. So I followed the instructions on the pop up dialog and am sending the file /root/scsconfig.log to you. (As an extra note, although the program system-config-soundcard did not play any sound, I was able to get the sound working later by running alsamixer on the command line and muting the "External Amplifier" toggle. After getting the sound to work, I tried reruning system-config-soundcard, but it still did not recognize the soundcard and did not play any sound on that interface) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Created attachment 160729 [details] This is the screen print of the system-config-soundcard program
Created attachment 160730 [details] I toggled the "External" off in the alsamixer program
Created attachment 160731 [details] This is my /root/scsconfig.log
Aha, so you have to unmute the "External Amplifier", right? That's quite strange. Can you please disable it, run "alsaunmute" utility (in terminal) and check if the "External Amplifier" channel is enabled? It should be unmuted by alsaunmute...
Hey Martin, thanks for the follow up. Sorry for the delayed response...EXTREMELY busy at work... Also bought a new dual core laptop and installed f8 ! hah! Gave up on my old f7 installation. So I guess I cant reproduce this problem, although the problem is still there. I have a WHOLE host of other sound problems(as expected) on my new laptop configuration though, and will log as new bugs when I get a chance to connect my laptop to a network. Love the product, like finding bugs and reporting them, like the whole opensource community ecosystem concept. Keep up the good work! Changing the status of this to WONTFIX. If this is an error please change the status accordingly. Thanks.
