My Dell XPS 1710 worked fine until about a week or two ago. I see the sound card using lspci: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) but I'm seeing the error ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1207:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card in the log file scsrun.log generated by the Soundcard Detection applet. Also, in ~/.xsession-errors I'm seeing: ** (gnome-session:2890): WARNING **: Could not start esd: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/esd" (No such file or directory) ** (gnome-session:2890): WARNING **: Failed to start sound. I run "yum whatprovides esd" and I get nothing. It's the esound daemon, but why I need it and where it comes from is, as of now, TBD. Why do I need this and when did I start needing it is also TBD. I have esd-config, but no esd! -- Mark C.
