hi
i have a laptop fujitsu siemens amilo xi 1546 and i installed fedora 7.. It detects my sound card but unfortunately i cant hear anything...
the specs for my laptop's soundcard are: azalia codec (7.1 via SPDIF).
WIth the help of 'hwbrowser' i can see that fedora recognized the card as:
Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition AUdio Controller
and the driver: snd-hda-intel
anyone knows how to fix this?
thanks

Unfortunately, this isn't enough detail to work with. The HD Audio system is fairly complex, in that it is essentially a serial bus for other devices (sound & modems usually). Here's a script that will generate the necessary debugging information to help fix your system. My guess is that you just need a newer driver version, but run this and post the resulting link.

thanks for replying but the link is not working ... is there any other valid link for this script?
See, the info you provided did help. I'm looking at the source, and I found that your system is supported in the version of alsa you are running. For some reason, your system is loading the sound driver with "model=3stack". This can be found in /etc/modprobe.d/options or /etc/modprobe.d/alsa (or some other file in this vicinity). Find the line that has "option snd-hda-intel model=3stack" and remove that line (or comment it out with a "#"). Your sound should work after fixing this and rebooting.

the reason for this is because i tried a 'how to' from this site http://blog.justinconover.com/ with the hope that i will get the sound card to work... but it didn't..note i had a small problem with the installation...
so if i got this right, by commenting the line you told me, takes me back where i was...
That is for a different system. Probably a different sound chip. There are currently ~60 different sound chips supported by snd-hda-intel.
If it doesn't work, try loading a newer version of alsa (1.0.15rc2). You'll need to before I can help further anyways, as that's the closest to the tip that I'm working with.

i undestand ...thanks for the help... is there any way so i can remove everything i ve done so far (uninstall drivers, delete specific folders) and start from the beginning? cause with all these different how to's that i tried, i might have mixed everything up..
Just try installing alsa-driver-1.0.15rc2 and we can go from there. I looked at the code, and this version will support your system. The drivers will overwrite the existing drivers in your system, so you don't need to worry about deleting anything. Some settings may need to be undone, but start with the drivers and go from there.
If you really want to undo everything, reinstall your distribution. If you created a separate partition for your /home directory, you won't lose much.

i 've search the internet today and i found threats from people saying that it worked for them too... emm i downloaded the package from alsa-project.org and open INSTALL file to read the instructions and i stuck on step 7 (where it says to edit my kernel module config)... i am not sure what to do here...
thanks

If you have successfully reached step 5, reboot and see if you get sound working. No real need to go further in the instructions.
hi
fresh install of fedora7 here... I updated all my packages first, then download the alsa development driver 1.0.15rc2 and installed with help of the INSTALL file (untill step 5) and not by doing this steps http://www.alsa-project.org/main/ind...dule-hda-intel.
I still have no sound on my laptop.. As this might help, i run the script you told me to run last time, so here is the new link: http://pastebin.ca/710248
thanks
