No sound from SigmaTel C-Major Audio on Fedora Core 4
hello again gurus,
need your help on getting my sound card to work. i don't know where to go to tweak things. i've read other threads which suggested to run commands and edit files. but they have different sound card though. here are my info: 1) i have fedora core 4. i just did "yum update" yesterday so it should be the latest. 2) i have a dual boot (fc4 and win xp). when i go to windows, i find that my sound card is SigmaTel C-Major Audio. 3) back to linux, i have gnome by the way, when i go to: applications -> sound & video -> volume control, i don't see anything muted. on the same application, if i go to file -> change device, i see: 0: Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (Alsa Mixer) 1: Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Modem (Alsa Mixer) and 0 is marked. 4) when i go to: desktop -> preferences -> sounds, i see: in general tab: enable sound server startup is checked. in sound events tab: i selected a sound file but i can't hear any sound when i test play it. in system bell tab: sound an audible bell is checked. 5) when i go to: desktop -> system settings -> soundcard detection, i see: The following audio device was detected: Vendor: Intel Model: Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller Module: snd-intel8x0 when i click on test play sound, i could not hear a thing. any suggestions? thanks guys. jun |

hello borchen,
thank you so much for your help. it did the trick!!! yeahhhhh!!! the "switches" tab does not show when i went back there (applications -> sound & video -> volume control). under volume control, i went to "edit -> preferences" and put check marks on all of the available tracks that i want to be visible. after doing that, the "switches" tab appeared. the options i got was different. first, it showed only one: 3d control switch. i put a check mark right beside it then it showed 2 additional options: mic boost and external amplifier. i put check marks on all of them, although i think marking external amplifier is good enough in my case because i heard a click after putting a check mark on the box. but again, it is now working!!! thanks! jun |
