sound on mic line- fedora core 2
 

hi,
I installed fedora core 2 yesterday. i managed to get mp3´s working with xmms
but when I updated to the newest kernel I only hear sound from my mic-in plug
and the normal speakers don´t work no more.
if this would be a normal pc it won´t matter, but it´s a laptop with (of course)
built in speakers which i would like to use.
and the sound isn´t good over the mic-line...
is there a way i can tell linux to play the sound over the normal speakers
again?

thanx

sascha

(oh there´s another thing, too
i have a sony pcg-fr215m laptop, and fedora can´t recognize the lcd display,
so when i do anything in fullscreen, it´s completely blurred.
is this a problem with the display or with my ati radeon 9200 (i think)?
and how can i fix it?)

:scratch:

Hi flaminmoe, welcome to lq. Have you tried any mixers since your update? That's where you should probably start. Could you post the output from
/sbin/lspci -v, and /sbin/lsmod?
good luck.

hi, here is the lspci -v

i haven´t tried any mixers, i don´t even know how to try different ones...:confused:

....thx,

sascha

It looks like the modules are loaded, try alsamixer and see if your sound is adjustable from there. You may need to play with those channels to get it right.
good luck.

nope
 

thanx for the fast answer, but it doesn´t help me.
i cannot switch the channels in the alsa mixer (nor in the oss)
i can adjust the loudness of the output over my mic-in channel, but
this won´t work with my built-in speakers.

do you have another solution?

What channels do you have available from alsamixer?
good luck.

channels
 

master, master mono, headphone, pcm, line, cd, mic, phone, aux, capture
nearly the same for oss

but i played around with that tool a loot, but you can´t switch channels there

sascha

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Have you tried any other mixers?
good luck.
