From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: Hi! I have a ac97 sound chip and it doesn't work on redhat 8. The sound card detection utility tells me it's a via82c686 sound chip, loads via82cxxx_audio, ac97_codec, sound, soundcore modules, but i cannot hear any sound... I have seen many users complaining about this problem, but no solution. Thank u for u'r time! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.just use rh 8 with ac97 2. 3. Additional info:
This isn't an AC'97 problem with Red Hat Linux 8.0. I have a Dell Optiplex GX260 and a Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop - both of which implement AC'97 via their Intel chipsets. I have no problem with audio on either. You might want to dump the output of "dmesg" and create an attachment to see how it is being initialized.
