Description of problem: Sound disappeared in Fedora 16 bets Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-firmware 1.0.14.1-2.fc15 alsa-lib 1.0.24.2-fc15 How reproducible: Twice... Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 16 betas 2. Do suggested updates 3. Sound goes away Actual results: No sound. Kmix shows "Dummy Output" Expected results: Sound Additional info: On intitial install, I get sound -- I haven't checked Kmix, but I get the arpeggio that normally sounds when KDE comes up. I then go to the software manager and see that there are something like 741 pending updates. I choose all of them and go to bed. The next morning, all updates are successfully done but there's no sound. Configuration: Asus G74sx-3de laptop, Nvidia 560m graphics, On board nvidia sound. Recently had Mint installed, and sound worked fine. I run KDE. Also, when I tried to run alsa-info.sh, I get the error "This script requires lspci. Please install it, and re-run this script." However, lscpi is installed. When I checked out the alsa-info script, it seems that the sed command that the script uses returns blank. i.e. $lscpi [root@localhost dev]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200/2nd Generation Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev b5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev b5) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 6 (rev b5) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM65 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1251 (rev a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0bee (rev a1) 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

Sorry but this doesn't sound like a problem with alsa-firmware. alsa-firmware contains firmware drivers for a very small number of specialist sound cards only. Please be aware that problems with sound can be caused by many different software components within a Fedora system (including ALSA kernel modules, PulseAudio, desktop volume controls, individual applications and more) and you may find it easier to get some informal help to track down the problem before filing bugs (if necessary), so that you can file them against the right component and the appropriate person can help. Help resources are listed here: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help If you still believe that your problem is with alsa-firmware, please re-open this bug with further details. Alternatively, if you identify the software causing the problem, you could change the Component accordingly and re-open it. Also, if you think there is a problem with alsa-info.sh, please consider that a separate issue to your sound problem.
