From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: After installing RedHat 8.0 clean on my Dell Latitude C810 (which uses the ESS Maestro 3i driver), there is a constant buzzing sound being immitted from the speakers. It seems to correlate with the volume for the internal condensed microphone. However, even if I mute the volume for everything (including the microphone), the buzzing still exists. I've tried completely turning down the volume as well. If I turn the volume for the microphone all the way up, the buzzing becomes incredibly loud. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RedHat 8.0 2. Boot up the machine 3. There'll already be a faint buzzing sound 4. Turn up the volume for the microphone (via amixer or the GUI) 5. Now the sound is very loud 6. Turn down the volume, or even mute it...but the faint buzzing keeps going. Actual Results: Constant, faint buzzing sound coming from the laptop speakers. Expected Results: No buzzing sound. Additional info: This problem doesn't occur with RedHat 7.3, Mandrake 9.0, or Windows XP. Dell Latitude C810, 512mb, 40gb HD, ESS Maestro 3i
