Description of problem: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_audio_basic When I boot to Fedora 18 Beta TC8 (live or installed on hard drive), I don't hear any sound when I should ("Test Speakers" in volume control, playing music). When I open volume control, it shows two devices (digital output and analog stereo). When I click on the "Profile" roll-down menu, the Analog Stereo device disappears. In the Profile menu is only one option - Digital Stereo. It seems that I'm forced to use only the digital output of the soundcard. I only have analog speakers and analog headphones, so cannot test the digital output. Tested with speakers connected to the rear panel of the soundcard and headphones to the front panel audio header.

Intel HD audio controller works fine, so this affects just certain types of adapters, it seems.
Voting ahead of tomorrow's blocker meeting, which I won't be at. -1 blocker / -1 nth (as the fix would likely be to the kernel), this looks to be hardware specific. I have sound working fine in F18 on two boxes here. The criterion is intended to cover cases where, say, PulseAudio or GNOME audio code is badly broken and sound isn't working for all or most people, not system-specific driver bugs.
Discussed at 2012-11-14 blocker bug meeting. Rejected as a blocker and NTH: This doesn't violate any of the F18 beta release criterion and could be fixed by an update.
On a fresh boot, can you run alsa-info and attach the output? Also, if you use amixer instead of the gnome tool, do you see what appear to be correct settings? Are volume levels muted, etc?
Same here. The requested alsa-info log in attachment.

Still no sound on kernel 3.8.1.
Same on 3.8.3. :(
Same on 3.8.9 :( Only possible workaround is tu use pavucontrol mixer to forcibly select playback output to alsa. After doing that, there suddenly also appears missing Asus Xonar Analog Stereo Output 5.1 + Analog Stereo Input option. Seems like there is broken communication / compatibility within kernel 3.8.x and Gnome 3.6.
Bug verified for Fedora 19, kernel 3.10.7 The sound was working with F17.
It seem like "Profile" options where you can change the output configuration (analog +/ digital) in pavucontrol is not picked up by gnome's sound settings.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. It has been over a month since we asked you to test the 3.11 kernel updates and let us know if your issue has been resolved or is still a problem. When this happened, the bug was set to needinfo. Because the needinfo is still set, we assume either this is no longer a problem, or you cannot provide additional information to help us resolve the issue.

If this is still a problem, we apologize, feel free to reopen the bug and provide more information so that we can work towards a resolution If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
Bug verified for 3.12.6-200.fc19.x86_64
Created attachment 856870 [details] alsa-info 3.12.8-200.fc19.x86_6 Bug still in 3.12.8-200.fc19.x86_6 and still annoying
OK. It can be made to work in F19. 1) I used pavucontrol (which is not easily accessed, and unless you know it exists you will never find as a user) to switch off the built-in audio on the motherboard (Intel DH67GD) and the audio on the GPU (AMD Radeon HD 7750) 2) Set the Output Devices to "Virtuoso 100 (Xonar DX) Analog Surround 5.1" and set it as fallback for good measure. It seems not to have worked, but on the next boot it does, actually. This is still suboptimal as it's quite a faff to e.g. output to the HDMI screen's speakers when I want to.
Fedora 20 and still not working, I solved it following these instructions https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#Defaulting_an_Analog_Output_Source

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 4 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously.
I'm gonna say the confirmation on F20 from February should be enough of an indication that this is still an issue, and re-open it.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
