sound configuration in fc8
Hi
I am using a dual boot lenovo system (fedora 8 and Windows XP). The system has internal speakers within cabinet and also a provision for connecting external speakers. Windows XP plays sound on internal speakers if external speakers are not connected whereas Fedora 8 with pulseaudio server plays sound only on external speakers.Fedora 8 plays only terminal beeps on internal speakers. What changes shoul d i make so that in fedora 8 the sounds are played on internal speakers if external speakers are not connected ? Thanks in advance M K Singh |
fedora 8 has a sound configuration guis - check the setings for system and other sounds. It looks like different systems are claiming different parts of the card - look at your hardware info and see how many sound cards are listed.

Hi
Thanks for replying. I have checked the system configuration for sound. It lists only one sound card namely,Intel Corporation 82801H(ICH8 family) HD Audio Controller. My chipset is i965. MK Singh |
OK, but try disabling system sounds.
What does system-config-soundcard have to say in entirety? # alsamixer # rpm -qa | grep alsa # lsmod | grep snd # uname -a # pulseaudio --dump-modules f8 uses pulseaudio by default, so I hope you didn't install by some other means... Strongly suggest gaining an understanding of how pulseaudio works: http://www.linux.com/feature/119926 ... is an overview. Use the links to the FAQ and the developer hints. |
Hi
Following is the output of various commands. I hope this helps.I am using fresh installation of f8,i mean no upgrade from previous versions, with default pulse audio installation.

Hi
I am able to enable and disable system beep from system-config-sound gui. MK Singh |
Sound through headphones or external speakers but no through on-board speakers
Hi guys!
mainly the same problem. I can hear my sounds (films, music) only through headphones or external speakers, but my on-board speakers apparently don't work. My computer: acer 5920G. Do you listen to your sounds with the internal speakers? How could you solve the problem? My outputs: alsamixer output is correct. I can modify system volume with no problem. rpm -qa | grep alsa Code:
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.14-5.fc8 Code:
snd_hda_intel 274529 5 Code:
Linux deimos 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Dec 7 15:49:59 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Code:

Hi Simon,
thanks for the reply, but I think it does not apply to my case. In other forums concerning about the installation of linux on an Acer 5920 I've read that the problem maybe is that I have to activate "surround" on the "mixer" (ubuntu people). Rocket engineering for me at this point. :scratch: Is there any similar in Fedora? I've tried to do that but don't find the right option in System->Preferences->HW->Sound. Any command?? alsamixer on the shell doesn´t show any mixer around neither. Thank you very much! |
Hi again, pal.
I was right, for my case. Now it has all the sense, don't you think? Find the option and all go smooth and clear. Thanks! |
Where did you find the option. Well done BTW.
|
gnome-volume-control (system -> preferences -> hardware -> volume control [or something similar])
Then you can go to Edit -> Preferences and enable the Surround option. Raise the volume and enjoy! Lurking around I found that it also can be done with "amixer -c 0 sset Surround 1+ unmute cap", really useful combined with xbindkeys, to exploit all the options of the laptop, or if you don't use gnome. Now I feel great with my laptop! Thanks for the support!! |
that helped me a lot guedallas.
thanks you so much! |

I found on my last upgrade the file /etc/inittab.rpmnew was installed and did not replace inittab.
I had horrendous problems with printing, sound, networking, etc until I replaced inittab with inittab.rpmnew and rebooted. I.E [root@localhost ~]#mv inittab inittab.old [root@localhost ~]#mv inittab.rpmnew inittab [root@localhost ~]#shutdown -r 0 All my issues went away. Check to see if you have a inittab.rpmnew that is newer than inittab. I.E. [root@localhost ~]# ll inittab* |
sound in fedora 10 fluxbox problem
Hi guys. I'm having a similar problem that I can't seem to fix..
I am runing Fedora 10 with fluxbox. Whenever I startx into root and try and play sound, i can hear sound.. but when I startx into my fluxbox login.. 'another username' .. i don't hear sound.. this is what happens when I am in the other user account and 'startx' into fluxbox.. $ amixer scontrols Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 and this is what happens when i run the same command in root.. # amixer scontrols ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused amixer: Mixer attach default error: Connection refused I see two problems here.. 1)no matter what I try, I can't seem to get the Master volume to go up to 100% when logged into my user account.. (i've tried 'amixer set Master 100% unmute' and alsamixer) 2)and the obvious error that confronts me when I am logged into root. (i've tried gpasswd -a USERNAME audio [although i don't know what that actually does] ) Thanks guys.. |
