Description of problem: audio is not working. I tried "rilevamento della scheda audio" which I guess translates to english as "find (or config) soundcard". I attach the /root/scsconfig.log file while /root/scsrun.log files is copied below: ------- System Config Soundcard Log -------- mar set 11 18:19:55 CEST 2007 aplay: main:545: audio open error: Dispositivo o risorsa occupata Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Hm, the log looks sane. Can you boot to the console and try to play sound via aplay? see http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa/
I tried aplay, but still I hear no sound. I looked quickly at the web page you wrote above about alsa. I will try to install new drivers, but due to my ignorance I'm not sure which one I should choose on the list of alsa-drivers for F7 page. but today I was too busy to look carefully. thanks for your help, mt
I installed today the alsa-drivers (not using rpms, I followed carefully the steps in the ALSA support page) Unfortunately I still hear no sound when trying with aplay. In the installation everything went fine, only I had to change the kernel source directory when running ./configure. Also I got a warning message when installing libs and utils which of course cannot be the problem, anyway the warning is the following: $rpm -Uhv alsa-utils-1.0.14-0.8.src.rpm 1:alsa-utils warning: user komat does not exist - using root in case you want to fix it (nobody is komat here, I guess it is written somewhere in your files) of course I did the alsaunmute command (I set volume to up to 100% to be sure!) with the cmd: $alsaunmute 0 -v -s 100 and I have only one card: $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 can it be a problem that my computer is a notebook? I hope you can help me, Cheers, Maria Teresa
(In reply to comment #4) > can it be a problem that my computer is a notebook? I don't think so. Anyway, it looks like a kernel/driver problem. You may install the latest drivers (ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2) from ALSA project page (www.alsa-project.org). The install process is the same. If it doesn't help, please report it to ALSA project - they're authors of linux sound system.
Dear Martin Stransky, I tried (finally! I have been pretty busy), the new alsa-driver, and also from alsa page I took new lib and utils. Configuration and installation seem all ok, but still I have no sound. I sent today a report to ALSA project. thanks, mt
okay, closing as upstream.
