Hi

I recently installed Linux - fedora 10. This is the first time im working with Linux, I have no idea about Linux OS. My problem is when i playmusic in real player 10 or rhythm box, the sound switches On and Off. F10 detects my sound card, I believe there must be some settings that needs to be corrected, My sound card is inbuilt in motherboard(Intel).Please help me.!!!.Thanks in advance.

Just in case, as root, run 'alsamixer' and set levels. Make sure nothing is muted. Immediately that exits, run 'alsactl store'

Then download a file before playing it. Get an mp3 on disk and play that.

Hi

Thanks for your prompt reply, i really appreciate that.I ran Alsamixer and alsactl store as root. Volume is at 100th level and it not mute. Still the same, sound switches On and Off. Should i change anything in the settings of volume control? i have choosen Device as HDA Intel(Alsa Mixer), is that correct??Please help me friend...

Thanks alot

A few obvious things you can do.

Describe the problem more clearly. How long on, how long off? Where are the files you are playing stored? Pausing is not uncommon if you have a slow internet connection. Does it happen with a local file.

The kernel Documentation/sound/alsa may well have a note on your card. Have you read it?

The basic was this works is
1. You moan
2. We ask questions
3. You do the donkey work - answer them, try things etc as suggested
4. Someone diagnoses your problem and (sometimes) tells you how to fix it.
5 You thank people profusely :-).
