Description of problem: Fedora 8 was previously installed, and sound worked through the speakers. I installed Fedora 9 i386 using the official release DVD, fresh install wiped the hard drive, and now sound only works through devices connected to the headphone jacks. Maybe this is similar to Bug 442975, but I don't think so since audio works through headphones. I'm not sure what component this goes to, so I picked pulseaudio. I've installed Fedora 9 two times on this system and both installs the speakers do not produce sound. I am logged into the desktop as a normal user, any commands below that show root, I've su'd in a gnome-terminal. I'm testing sound by running the following in a gnome-terminal: $ aplay /usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/purple/login.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Stereo Here is some info: # uname -a Linux ratbook 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:28:41 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # lspci |grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) # lspci -vnn 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] (rev 02) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device [1028:0209] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21 Memory at febfc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel <?> Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link <?> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel $ dmesg|grep -i sound ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:1810: chipset global capabilities = 0x4401 ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:749: codec_mask = 0x1 ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2236: hda_codec: model 'dell-bios' is selected for config 1028:209 (Dell XPS 1330) ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 0a bios pin config 0221101f ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 0b bios pin config 40f000f0 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 0c bios pin config 40f000f1 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 0d bios pin config 90170110 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 0e bios pin config 02a11030 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 0f bios pin config 02011020 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 10 bios pin config 40f000f2 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 11 bios pin config 40f000f3 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 12 bios pin config 40f000f4 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 13 bios pin config 90a60040 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 14 bios pin config 40f000f5 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 21 bios pin config 185610a0 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 22 bios pin config 40f000f6 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1685: hda_codec: pin nid 23 bios pin config 00000000 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1712: hda_codec: pin nid 0f pin config 02270110 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:1712: hda_codec: pin nid 0e pin config 02a79130 ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2857: autoconfig: line_outs=1 (0xd/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0) ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2861: speaker_outs=0 (0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0) ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2865: hp_outs=2 (0xf/0xa/0x0/0x0/0x0) ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2866: mono: mono_out=0x0 ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2874: inputs: mic=0xe, fmic=0x0, line=0x0, fline=0x0, cd=0x0, aux=0x0 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:2080: stac92xx_add_dyn_out_pins: total dac count=4 ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c:2202: dac_nids=3 (0x5/0x2/0x4/0x0/0x0) ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Side Playback Volume, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Headphone Playback Volume, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Headphone Playback Volume, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Speaker Playback Volume, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave External Speaker Playback Volume, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Speaker2 Playback Volume, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Side Playback Switch, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Headphone Playback Switch, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Headphone Playback Switch, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Speaker Playback Switch, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave External Speaker Playback Switch, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave Speaker2 Playback Switch, skipped ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1073: Cannot find slave IEC958 Playback Switch, skipped
An update, this laptop has two headphone jacks, sound only works with headphone jack # 2. The jack on the left does not produce sound when external speakers are plugged in.
I suppose I should add that in Fedora 8, both headphone jacks worked as did the speakers.
I played with the settings and found that if I launch the HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) applet, click Edit -> Preferences and place a check next to Surround, and then unmute Surround, sound will work.
This is not a bug in PA. It's merely an initialization issue of the mixer. Reassigning to alsa. We need better default initialization of the ALSA mixer. Upstream is working on this, so please be patient.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
