Created attachment 375519 [details] Output of alsa-info.sh Description of problem: My sound card (HDA Intel on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M1437G laptop) is not in alsa-lib's database. This means that default volumes have to be guessed at init time, and the volume for the "CD" channel is set to 54%. As a result, when connecting a pair of headphones, noise coming from the CD channel can be heard, lowering sound quality. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.21-3.fc12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run alsactl init (to reset default volumes for my card) 2. Listen to anything through the headphones 3. Actual results: Bad sound quality due to noise coming from the CD channel. Expected results: No noise. Additional info:

Created attachment 375533 [details] Patch to /lib/alsa/init/hda Attaching the patch I applied to file /lib/alsa/init/hda to make changes permanent in my laptop. Basically I copied the info that existed already for "Acer Travelmate 8100", replaced my card's subsystem vendor and device, added a line to turn off the CD Playback switch, and removed Front Playback Volume and Switch, which do not exist for my card. Not sure if completely turning off the CD Playback channel is a good idea for everyone, but it seems pretty safe as I can play audio CD's with Rhythmbox without any problems.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 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.
