From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 Description of problem: I'm trying to use sndconfig to configure my via8233c [AC'97] chip, but it appears to have trouble with the IRQs (hangs when attempting to play the sample sounds). I tried --noautoconfig, but sndconfig didn't acknowledge that I had used any arguments. (i.e., when i used --noprobe the initial screen says that it won't probe) In addition, it still automatically set up my sound chip (incorrectly of course). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run "sndconfig --noautoconfig" 2. Hit OK a couple times Actual Results: sndconfig ran normally, went ahead and tried to configure my sound card without asking, tried to play a sample sounds, and hung Expected Results: the opening screen should have acknowledged that i used a command line argument, and it should have asked me to enter in my own sound settings Additional info:
Confirmed. Wanted to post this as separate bug, but seems related (so far). my observation: it *did* work until some more or less recent update (rhn). I don't use it too often, but at times. Last time it was great, now it is simply silent. This is why I tried sndconfig (which had done the trick initially), and now hangs horribly after correct detection of soundchip while trying to play the sample. It is a pure RH7.3 machine, installed from scratch, and continuously updated (rhn). That looks like some update broke it.
sndconfig is no longer developed, and this release has reached end-of-life. Closing out old bugs.
