No sound since upgrade to Fedora Core 2 Kernal 2.6.8-1.521

Recommended Posts

I'm running Fedora Core 2 Kernal 2.6.8-1.521 on a Toshiba Satellite A65-12S Laptop. My problem began when I upgraded the kernel to the current version. I lost my sound, it was working in Kernel 2.6.5-1.358. Below are the outputs from /sbin/lspci and $uname -r

 

[root@localhost sbin]# lspci

00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device cab3 (rev 05)

02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

 

[root@localhost /]# uname -r

2.6.8-1.521

The output from soundcard detection is:

Vendor: ATI

Model: IPX150 AC'97 Audio Controller

Module: snd-atiixp

 

Any Suggestions?

 

Thanks in Advance

Have you tried running alsamixer as root from a terminal prompt? Check to see if anything is muted. If it is, unmute it and escape back to the prompt. At the prompt type "alsactl -store" again as root after to testing sound card with "Detect Sound card" under system tools I think on the Red Fedora menu. This is supposed to fix the problem though it isn't the same card, you could check a thread called "Audigy issues with Fedora Core 2" in this forum. Some answers may apply. I am the one having the sound problem. We have it fixed manually, now working on getting to automatically setup at boot up. I am running the same kernel as you on an intel p4 2.4GHz processor.

Best Regards,

since the sound was working with the only difference being a kernel version,

you might try the boot parameter "acpi=noirq". It makes the difference

between a couple of things working versus not working for me with a 2.6 kernel.

(one of which is sound)

I had a similar problem with yoper linux and with SuSE Linux. The solution that worked for me was to download the source for alsa and compile it under my newer kernel. I had to have my kernel-source for the compile, but I don't know if that has anything to do with my distro or not since I didn't find anywhere that it was required.

 

Hope you get it all working! Good Luck

jpc1258: "boot parameter" == passed to the kernel at boot time.

 

compare the regular boot string with any 'safe mode' entry in your bootloader,

just to see what different boot parameter lists look like...
