From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-7 i686) Description of problem: The cmpci(for cmedia chipsets) sound driver in the 2.4.7/2.4.9 kernels doesnt work. There is only sound in one of the speakers, and it sounds like a really bad tuned-in radio. In RH 7.1 with the 2.4.2 kernel it works perfectly. The same have been observed with atleast the plain 2.4.10-2.4.16 kernels. If I need to configure/setup something I havent thought of, or there is a workaround, _please_ give me a note at NOS Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.7/2.4.9 And plain 2.4.10-2.4.16 kernels How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I only did this on my computer. 1. Install RH 7.2, it'll autodetect the audio chipset. Or run sndconfig to configure it. 2. Fire up a sound prog, e.g. xmms, or just KDE. Actual Results: I can only hear sound in one speaker, and its really fuzzy, like a bad tuned in radio. Expected Results: Flawless stereo sound like in RH7.1 with the 2.4.2-2 kernel Additional info: [noselasd@space libpcap]$ cat /proc/pci PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 0, function 0: Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge (rev 3).

RH 7.2 is old, It works in FC.
