Please, check http://alsa.opensrc.org and search for the Intel HD sound chip. You need the snd-axz driver which is included in ALSA-1.0.8, FC3 has ALSA-1.0.6.
TIA, Don Raikes
Hello,
I just installed fc3 (kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3) on a new gateway 7200x system.
The gateway has the intel 915G chipset which includes "hkigh definition audio" support.
When I go to aumix to ask it to turn up the volume, I get the message that no mixer is found.
Any suggestions on how to get the sound on this system working?

Crash-course ultra-mini-howto on installing ALSA from source:
1.- Get the packages from http://alsa-project.org . You should get the packages alsa-driver, alsa-utils, alsa-lib, alsa-oss and depending on your hardware, you may or may not want to download alsa-tools (basically useful for Envy24, EMU10K1, SB16/AWE and some others)
2.- Decompress the packages, to ease this process, I usually use this 'for' loop in bash:
for i in *.tar.bz2; do tar jxf $i; done
3.- Install in this order: alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss, alsa-driver, I usually leave the alsa-driver 'till the end to make sure everything's up and running, like alsamixer. Install with the famous triad:
./configure && make && sudo make install
Note: if your user is not a sudoer, then you will have to su to root to install.
4.- Prior to installing the driver, I usually first configure my modprobe.conf file, you should have something like this:
# ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1 alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 # module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 # card #0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # card 1 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
NOTE: Here I have two cards configured, and the lines created by system-config-soundcard are commented out (in your case may be missing). For your particular setup, these lines shouldbe something like this:
# ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-azx # module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
5.- Install the driver, basically just as the other packages, but you will have to tell configure what you want:
./confgure --with-cards=azx --with-oss=yes (if you want oss emulation capabilities, highly recommended) --with-sequencer=yes (for MIDI support, depends on hardware, you may want to check http://alsa.opensrc.org for that) && make && sudo make install
If all went OK, just add the alsasound service:
chkconfig --add alsasound
Just in case create the devices:
./snddevices
Run the service:
/sbin/service alsasound restart
Run alsamixer to set your volumes... Hopefull that's all involved.
It is possible that you will require to install the kernel source, but in FC3 this is a little bit difficult, you will have to get the .src.rpm of the kernel (I haven't seen any kernel-source package around so if there is one, my apologies). Then do the following:
rpm -ivh kernel-<version_etc>.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
tar jxf -C /usr/src linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2
cd /lib/modules/<your_kernel>
mv build build.bak
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 build
and then try to install the drivers again... Yes this is a PITA, but it is the ONLY way I know to install the kernel source-code in FC3... Mind you that installation my NOT necesarily fail with the standard kernel headers in /lib/modules/<kernel>/build/, but may occur.
