Description of problem: No sound on Fedora 8, i386, with Intel 82801H. Maybe similar to bug number 384261, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384261 but does not work with my laptop. I have a Zepto laptop. I am not sure to which component this belongs to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Created attachment 262991 [details] scsconfig.log and scsrun.log which were printed when tried to play a test sound in system-config-soundcard
# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Nov 8 21:41:26 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Log looks sane, drivers are loaded and the sound card seems to be properly detected and configured. I don't see any problem there. Please report it to ALSA project (www.alsa-project.org) and attach the log there.
I had similar pb but now solved I created file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base with an entry: 'options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire' This unexpectedly solved it, because my laptop is not an acer! have a look at http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt the value 'acer-aspire' is not suggested foor the ALC883, 'acer' is. hth
Thanks for the tips! I found this mentioned in one discussion group too, one Zepto laptop was mentioned there. At least these seam to make the sound work, I can hear the sound now: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: options snd-hda-intel model=acer /etc/modprobe.conf: alias eth0 tg3 alias scsi_hostadapter libata alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix alias scsi_hostadapter2 ahci options snd cards_limit=8 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=acer Headphones do not disable the speakers. Others have reported this too. But it is enough for me that the sound works! I had also removed pulseaudio. And I reinstalled alsa related libraries etc. with Smart Package Manager. But I do not know do those affect to the sound. (Just to mention what different kinds of issues I have done.) Correct settings in the above configuration files might help without making any other changes.
so adding "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" fixed your sound? Martin, is this something that gets fixed in the kernel, or somewhere else like alsa configuration stuff?
It has to be fixed in kernel (alsa-drivers) or in alsa-lib. We can't manage a table for all hardware models and its specific configuration... It's definitely an upstream issue.
(In reply to comment #6) > so adding "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" fixed your sound? > Yes. It seems it is enough to add only the "alsa-base" file with the mentioned text in it: [root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base options snd-hda-intel model=acer ( I took the original /etc/modprobe.conf file in use and the upper "alsa-base" file was in use and sound worked still. )
Closing as wontfix.
