From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; YComp 5.0.2.6) Description of problem: Psyche seems not to work with built-in i810_autio module due to codec ac97 ( as told by one redhat technician ). I then install alsa sound package 9.0rc6, from Alsa Project website for intel8x0. After installation with careful following of instructions ( from step by step make install to unmute mixer, alsamixer, to changes to modules.conf . Everything seems fine, but there's still no sound. As I open gnome-volume-control, it gives error that there's invalid key name or some sort in "apps/gnome-volume-control/OSS-Analog-Device- 74(1)/...", which leads to parameters of volume incorrectly set. Note that the alamixer's setting is still there, but doesn't seem to have any effects. And in the gnome-volume-control, the "lock" button is checked, and no changes could be saved. Any ideas how to fix this problem? Appreciate it... -Van, Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.4.18-14 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.No sounds before and after installation of alsa package 2.Try open gnome-volume-control to reset volume, but it gives: 3.Invalid or bad key/directory name error of gnome-volume-control in "apps/gnome-volume-control/OSS-Analoy-Device-74(1)/...", where "..." are pcm/volume/seq/mixer/... Additional info:
This is fixed in Red Hat Linux 9. (There's a duplicate bug report with more information in here as well. The bug is probably against gnome-panel or gnome-applets.)
