From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529 Description of problem: Sound card: SiS 7018. Upon booting and logging into an X session or a bash session, no sound is heard. To fix this, I have to become root and run aumix, change every setting back and forth, save, and quit. After that, the sound works just fine until I reboot the next time. Had the same problem in RH8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All kernels for RH8 and RH9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot and log in. No sound. 2.Run aumix, change every channel, save, quit. 3.Sound Actual Results: No sound upon first bootup. Expected Results: Sound. Additional info: I'm assuming it's a kernel fault. No idea how to troubleshoot this: what log files do I need to check, etc.?
Two questions: Does a specifc setting make the difference What kind of sound card is it (or attach lspci -v if you are not sure)
Created attachment 92183 [details] The output from lspci -v
OK, I attached the output from lspci -v. I tried each setting in aumix. Here's the deal: If I change the Vol adjustment bash starts beeping (it didn't until then). When I change the Pcm adjustment the sounds in X work as well (they didn't with only Vol).
Turns out, no other setting makes a difference, alone or in combination. Just those two as described above.
