I had a similar problem on FC4 Dell Inspiron 700m. I solved it by using the following method. Let me know if it works for you. # To enable sound from your laptop, run #alsamixer. # Scroll to the rightmost colum using the right arrow and hit m. (i.e. turn it on) # Exit the program by pressing Esc. Sound should now be working. http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~scs49/install_linux.html [See section 'Sound'] ~Shan ***Original Message*** Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 07:18:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Xiaodong <baixd_99@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: FC4 sound card correctly detected, but no sound To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <20050629141843.92086.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I Have FC4 (kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) installed in a DELL Inspiron 600m. The sound card is Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97. It was detected correctly and the module snd-intel8x0 was installed during the installation and later soundcard detection. But when I press the "play test sound" button, no sound can be heard. The speaker is not muted. Any idea what went wrong? Appreciate it. Xiaodong *** Shantanu Shah theashworld@xxxxxxxxx
