Yet another e-mail with an FC3 user experiencing issues with sound. I spent hours yesterday reading through about a year's worth of posts. Unfortunately, none of them helped my cause. Here's the breakdown: FC3 running 2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp Sound card: Trident 4DWave DX System: Dell SC420 P4 2.8GHZ 512MB etc... alsa* installed and updated Kudzu recognized my sound card at first boot. modprobe.conf was configured accordingly. When I run system-config-soundcard I see the correct hardware detected. However, I cannot play a test sound. It errors on the attempt. I'm unable to run alsamixer because the device isn't found. Here's the pertinent info: messages log: Feb 13 17:56:01 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 Feb 13 17:56:02 kernel: AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET Feb 13 17:56:02 kernel: AC'97 0 access error (not audio or modem codec) Feb 13 17:56:02 kernel: Trident4DWaveAudio: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -13 modprobe -vf snd-trident insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.ko WARNING: Error inserting snd_seq_device (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.ko): Operation not permitted insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/core/snd-rawmidi.ko WARNING: Error inserting snd_rawmidi (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/core/snd-rawmidi.ko): Operation not permitted insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.ko WARNING: Error inserting snd_mpu401_uart (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.ko): Operation not permitted insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko WARNING: Error inserting snd_util_mem (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko): Operation not permitted insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/gameport.ko WARNING: Error inserting gameport (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/gameport.ko): Operation not permitted insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/pci/ac97/snd-ac97-codec.ko WARNING: Error inserting snd_ac97_codec (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/pci/ac97/snd-ac97-codec.ko): Operation not permitted install /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-trident && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq-device.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/core/snd-rawmidi.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/drivers/input/gameport/gameport.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/pci/ac97/snd-ac97-codec.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.760_FC3smp/kernel/sound/pci/trident/snd-trident.ko modprobe.conf alias snd-card-0 snd-trident options snd-card-0 index=0 install snd-trident /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-trident && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-trident { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-trident /etc/sysconfig/hwconf class: AUDIO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: snd-trident desc: "Trident Microsystems 4DWave DX" vendorId: 1023 deviceId: 2000 subVendorId: 1023 subDeviceId: 2000 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 4 pcidev: 0 pcifn: 0 lspci 04:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Trident Microsystems 4DWave DX (rev 02) Subsystem: Trident Microsystems 4DWave DX Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 169 Region 0: I/O ports at dc00 [size=256] Region 1: Memory at dfbff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 1 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- system-config-soundcard amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device aplay: main:508: audio open error: No such device If I've missed anything, please let me know.
