sound problem in Fedora 8 (LT Toshiba Satellite)
 

Hello

i'm new to Linux. When i ask the system to detect my sound card, it does:

PCM device ALC 861 - Si3054 Modem
ALSA driver version 1.0.16
ALSA lib packages alsa-lib-1.0.16-3.fc8
ALSA utils packages alsa-utils-1.0.16-3.fc8

The test sound runs okay: i hear the chords.

But when i try skype, any attempt to connect results in MSG

"Problem with audio play back"


dont know what to do. Would rather have a solution in consolle mode, than
in graphical mode

Thanks in advance

the now unsupported ( as of Feb-7 -09 ) fedora 8 introduced "pulse audio " as the sound server . you can google that but 50% of those help pages have been taken down because they so old .
I think this is the only still working page

fedora 8 had a BIG sound problem with some hardware . they were fixed in fedora 10 and 11 .
