I have an intel_8x0 onboard card, like yourself.
I believe this is probably a driver problem. Might be this one in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138504
but I'm not sure...that one looks a tad too old to have been caused by the latest kernel alone.

Thank you both for the replies. I've logged in as root and made sure the visible settings are set correctly. I also gave the "mplayer -ao alsa" as shot, but no dice for me. I do have some more info though.On Sat, 8 Jan 2005, blank wrote:
Hello all,
New guy to the list here and finally have Linux only on my workstation. I know my hardware is supported as well, it worked perfectly after install and for a week or so afterwards.
Anyway, I have no sound now and dmesg only gives "application mplayer uses obsolete OSS audio interface" when I try mplayer and dmesg shows nothing about say, xmms even though it appears to play, but no sound. I've used up2date and yum to upgrade most things. xmms is from source as is mplayer, but I think that is all I've installed from source dealing with sound.
I've removed my sound card, let kudzu remove the configuration for it, added the sound card again, let kudzu add it, and still no sound. As I've said, sound used to work and I've checked things like mute and wires and connections.
While recommending an "mplayer -ao alsa" to go through alsa rather than oss, I could only think of:
- The sound card having died (any chance to check it in another PC/OS?)
- The mixer. Today (after upgrading my kernel) sonehow all my mixer controls were down to 0 and muted. Just double-check with alsamixer on a console, as root (this is important, don't do it as a normal user, it didn't help for me either! Dunno yet why not, however) that your controls are up and not muted.

Here is "lspci -vvvv" output (for the hardware): http://www.liquidconfusion.com/lspci_vvvv.txt
Here is "lsmod" output: http://www.liquidconfusion.com/lsmod.txt
Here is some output from xmms: http://www.liquidconfusion.com/xmms_oss_error_dsp.txt
It appears as though something, somewhere, somehow (possibly me, no idea how though) has changed the overall system-preference for sound to OSS when that's not what I was using, nor want to use. And having decided this will be the install that I finally keep and upgrade, I wanted to ask before mucking around in settings I shouldn't.
Oh, here is the mobo I am using with an althon xp: http://www.ecsusa.com/products/l7s7a2.html
Thanks again for any help :)
