Greetings, As my first post to the list, forgive me if I make a newbie mistake; and along with my greetings, thanks for everyone for all the help you offer here. To start, I have FC1 freshly installed in a HP pavilion 551w: ===== CDROM: Mitsumi CR-48X9TE /dev/scd0 Hard Drive: SAMSUNG SV4002H /dev/hda hda1 ext3 hda2 ext3 hda3 linux-swap Sound Cards: Sound Controller - SiS, driver i810_audio ===== Problem: I can hear system sounds, but I can not play audio CD's through any application on my current system (full installation). At first, I thought it may have been permissions, but I logged in as root and ran into the same problem -- no sound except system sounds. After doing searches on the internet, trying to find the details about my sound card and how to get sound on my computer, I found that HP lists my sound as AC97 Audio. Further searches produce links to AC97 audio controller info... In trying to resolute, I made matters worse (possibly) by following directions http://foolish.digitalinc.info/docs/alsa/. I worked my way down the page to "Loading the ALSA-drivers" and was guided to look up my sound card (yes, I know I should have found the exact details first, regarding compatibility - woops). A few of the commands list on the above link didn't give me all the details I needed about my sound card (modprobe?), so I checked my system log and found the following: ===== May 15 11:13:31 localhost kernel: i810: SiS 7012 found at IO 0xb400 and 0xb800, MEM 0x0000 and 0x0000, IRQ 9 May 15 11:13:31 localhost kernel: i810_audio: Audio Controller supports 6 channels. May 15 11:13:31 localhost kernel: i810_audio: Defaulting to base 2 channel mode. May 15 11:13:31 localhost kernel: i810_audio: Resetting connection 0 May 15 11:13:31 localhost kernel: ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: ADS96 (Analog Devices AD1885) May 15 11:13:31 localhost kernel: i810_audio: AC'97 codec 0 Unable to map surround DAC's (or DAC's not present), total channels = 2 ===== At this point, I'm a bit lost, not knowing much about linux. I won't hesitate to do a fresh install if it will help due to tinkering with my driver information and if I can remedy this by changing my selections/choices during installation. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be a relief. Any advice would be appreciated. If anything, please use soft fruit if you start throwing things at me... I'm exiting stage left now. -- TIA, Ronald J Boyer Jr
