problem with soundcard detection (Red Hat Fedora Core 5 on Thinkpad T41)
 

I'm running Red Hat Fedora Core 5 on a Thinkpad T41. When I first installed it, sound worked out of the box. Recently, it stopped working, and now when I run the soundcard detection utility, it is unable to detect the soundcard. I'm not sure what has changed. I've run various updates with yum, and installed a few things from livna. Any suggestions for fixes?

Here are the filter reults of running lsmod:

$ /sbin/lsmod | egrep 'snd'
snd_intel8x0m 17229 0
snd_intel8x0 32221 1
snd_ac97_codec 92257 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_bus 2625 1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_seq_dummy 4165 0
snd_seq_oss 32705 0
snd_seq_midi_event 7745 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 53553 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device 9037 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq

snd_mixer_oss 17729 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 83781 4 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 24516 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd 55237 12 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_o ss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore 10017 1 snd
snd_page_alloc 10569 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

Thanks.

possible solution?
 

Hi Glip
have a look-see at this post that I put up the other day.

This may help you with your issue.
True, our issues were slightly different, mine was that my soundcard was able to be detected, but no sound - yours is no detection, and no sound. Have a look, though, and see if this helps you.

Cheers
