Any suggestions for how to fix this?

It would help to know what audio the laptop has. You may need to add
an option to /etc/modprobe.conf to specify the configuration used.

Here is the audio device from lspci -vb:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems AC97 Data Fax SoftModem with SmartCP

        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11

        Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0


Here is the modprobe.conf:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks very much!

Can you run

    cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

and post the results?  This helps us sort out which of the plethora of
IHC7 cards you have.

Hi Rick,


cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Conexant CX20549 (Venice)

I hope this helps?

Well, according to that, it's only seeing the modem part of your
sound card.  It's not seeing the audio bit (and I should have caught
that from your lspci output).

So, something is very weird.  I think F8 uses alsa 1.0.15 and it should
detect the chipset.  The on-board sound is enabled in the BIOS, right?

Hi Rick,

Bob
