[Alsa-user] No PCM sound... except during install???

[Christian C. <cc...@co...>]

Hi guys,

I can't get PCM sounds to play on my FC2 box. Any suggestions? Details below:


I just installed FC2 onto a computer with an MSI 865PE Neo2 motherboard. It uses an Intel 865PE chipset.

During FC2's installation, it plays a test sound. That works just fine.

But then once the installation is complete, I see all these symptoms that I think shouldn't happen:

A) When I try to play my Ogg files using Noatun I hear nothing. (But using KsCD to play an audio CD that's in the CD drive works just fine - I can hear that music.)

B) When I bring up "alsamixer" on the command line, my PCM volume is set to 0 and I can't do anything to set it above 0.

C) When I run Fedora's app for sound cards: (Start) | System Settings | Soundcard Detection, I can't hear the test sound that the app supposedly plays.

The really wierd thing about this is that the souncard test app that runs during my first reboot of Fedora *does* successfully play a sound that I can hear.

Can anyone recommend a solution?

Thanks very much,
Christian
