Description ajcunn 2011-07-03 04:17:42 UTC
Description of problem:p 

Asus 1215b using the snd_hda_intel module.  According to alsa-info my sound hardware is:

 0 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xfeb44000 irq 40
 1 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
                      HDA ATI SB at 0xfeb40000 irq 16

Sound used to work from the laptop speakers, now only the external headphone jack works presumably due to a bad update.  All devices are unmuted and turned to full volume in alsa-mixer, still no sound from the speakers but the speakers do work from the windows partition.

If I mute only "Headphone" in alsa-mixer, I loose sound to the headphone jack.
If I mute only "Speaker" in also-mixer, I also loose sound to the headphone jack.
Under no condition does sound ever come from the built-in laptop speakers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pulseaudio-0.9.22-5.fc15.x86_64
alsa-lib-1.0.24-2.fc15.x86_64
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.24-2.fc15.x86_64
kernel-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:  Play a sound
  
Actual results:  No sound from the internal laptop speakers.

Expected results:  Sound should play.

Nevermind.  I found a fix.

If I shut the computer down and restart again, the problem goes away and sound starts working as expected again.  - Note that a warm reboot is not enough.  A hard reset is needed to extinguish the problem.

This happens for me and a reboot doesn't help.
I.e. sounds works from headphone jack, but not from laptop speakers.

Sound seems to work properly via laptop speakers when running the F16 beta live CD, FWIW.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:57:25 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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:
