I recently got a Dell Dimension 8600 and installed Fedora Core 2 on it. The 8600 is based on the Intel 865 chipset with apparently integrated graphics, audio, and network controller. After struggling with some video issues, it mostly runs wonderfully. However, I've never been able to make sound work in Fedora Core 2. The system is a dual-boot and sound is fine under Windows XP, so the hardware seems to be good. It seems like the hardware is supported, and there are no error messages that I can find. I've tried googling and found people with similar problems, but no one with a documented solution. It seems like it might be related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123631 but the solutions there have not worked for me. Adding any value for ac97_quirk doesn't seem to change things at all. I've turned up the volume on every mixer control I can find. More detailed information is below. I appreciate any suggestions. Let me know if more info would be helpful in diagnosing the problem. system-config-soundcard reports: Vendor: Intel Model: 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller Module: snd-intel8x0 Playing the test sound results in no sound. The following is displayed in the terminal: Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Front Left: Playback 23 [74%] [on] Front Right: Playback 23 [74%] [on] -9 Kudzu will add the following to /etc/modules.conf if allowed to configure the soundcard: alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 Which also produces no sound. /proc/asound/cards has: 0 [ICH5 ]: ICH - Intel ICH5 Intel ICH5 at 0xfeb7fa00, irq 3 The sound modules seem to be installed fine and lsmod reports: Module Size Used by
