Description of problem: No output from audio SPDIF port Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 3.7.9 works. any kernel upgrade after that - 3.8.xxx -does not. All other components/modules have been continuously updated as available. How reproducible: boot with kernel version 3.7.9: works boot with any later kernel (versions 3.8.xxx) does not work Steps to Reproduce: 1.At kernel select at boot time, select any 3.8.xxx kernel (if one not installed, then install/upgrade). 2.let machine boot. 3.check SPDIF output Actual results: no output from SPDIF port Expected results: output from SPDIF port Additional info: This is running on a Gateway 64bit system, with all embedded components (graphics, audio, network, usb, etc.): [root@foghorn ~]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset DRAM Controller (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567V-2 Gigabit Network Connection 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 00:1a.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #6 00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) PCI Express Root Port 1 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 90) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801JIB (ICH10) LPC Interface Controller 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SMBus Controller 01:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc.

Just installed F18. Still doesn't work. Is anybody looking at this?
Just noticed this bug report`: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487540. It seems that this reappeared with kernels 3.8.xx and later, including with Fedora 18. Could someone PLEASE comment on this, so I at least know whether to wait for a fix or abandon linux for windoz on my HTPC.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. 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 prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 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 to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
This issue still exists in later releases of Fedora. I have discovered the problem, which is in the hardware/driver: the kernel, at boot time, disables (or does not enable) any audio output. In my case it was specifically digital output. The Gnome/Alsa/PulseAudio utilities are useless, since they do not see any of the sound outputs. There are no other utilities to directly view and/or modify these settings anywhere, including in the standard Gnome desktop. So the changes made to the kernel 3.8 and later has made my sound output completely unusable.
*********** 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. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 19 kernel bugs. Fedora 19 has now been rebased to 3.11.1-200.fc19. Please test this kernel update and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 2 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.
