Hello all


My problem is that i cannot get any sound from my onboard sound



I have installed Fedora Core 1 recently and i have installed Kernel 2.6.1-1.53.

Also, I installed the Alsa 1.0.0-0.rc2 drivers.

Here is the /sbin/lspci output:

thank you in advance for your help

any ideas on this? i've googled it and gone on irce to no avail

last bump before this problem drifts away into nothingness

Did you ensure KMixer sliders are all they way up, and nothing is 'red' muted? Happened to me when I updated KDE once.

yeah, i double, triple, and quadruple checkd the kMixer sliders and the muted was off.




Well, since this must be a difficult question to answer, does anyone have a suggestion for a sound card that *works* with fedora core 1??

I am using a SoundBlaster Live! that I've had for about four years. Everything seems to like it.

Dunno if it matters, I am running Mandrake 9.2

I don't know if it's any consolation, but I had the same Problem(Mandrake 9.2)
Tried drivers from VIArena, still failed. Checked the ALSA website, still failed. I've tried almost every config I could find(even had to translate a few pages) - nothing works.

If you get a solution, plz email me asap!
Other known issues I've encountered: kernel 2.6 variants FAIL BADLY loading agpgart. It tainted ALL my kernels(2.4.21 and 2.5). It's a known issue with this board AFAIK.

The only help I can be of is to tell you to use a pci audio card and turn off the onboard via bios.

Hello All.
I went from mandrake 9 to mandrake 10. No sound on either version.
And emailed Asus, just for fun to see if i could find any response. .
Yet no response.
I guess we are out of luck.
I've read other forums where people have found some solutions..
I will keep hunting

I've got an abit NF7, which I think is based on the same sound chipset. getting it to work is easy

there is just 1 step:
follow the instructions at:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.0-0261
make SURE you at least scan the readme - it contains the all-important info

yea i know what you mean.. i also have a A7V8X-X and it does the same for me in fedora... i had gotten a driver from viaarena and the rpm woulden't run and i had gotten another one from asus a few days back that woulden't eather... i'd also need help with this problem.

heya i think i might of solved it this is however for libranet *debian*

here is what i did so if you want it to happen do this.
fsck the nvidia drivers, sorry but the vanilla kernel 2.6.2 has plenty good built in modules that will do fine... for one nic and onboard working audio (thats all i wanted)

when configuring your kernel
go to
1. sound
2. alsa
3. pci devices
4. select Intel 8x0...............Nforce audio
5 make your kernel and install it
6. install your alsa drivers for 1.0.2c-2
7. now edit your modules.conf file or equivalent
8. reboot and make sure to open up alsamixer in the console and turn the sound on. ( for some dumb reason alsa starts up with no audio)


here is how mine looks

alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0



# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
# module options should go here

# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

good luck fellas and happy linuxing

sorry i meant to say f u c k the nvidia drivers not fsck

well. I still haven't gotten it to work. My next step is what dannymacom had to offer... Sounds a lil complicated to a linux newbie like myself. But i am sure i will figure it out.

Here is what ASUS had to Say.

Dear customer:
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
My name is Alex, and I would be assisting you today.
I apologize again to you for having delayed your letter.
Sorry , we haven't the driver the the linux , would you please consult linux forum for the details ??
If you have any problem on our products, please feel free to tell us , we will try our best to help you .
Thank you for using ASUS products and services!

Alex
Best Regards,

Oh well..

Hi,

I too have an ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard and both the Onboard sound and onboard NIC dont work. I have a SB Live! card so I'm not worried about the sound... but the first post looks like he got the NIC working!! Can anyone help me to get my NIC working?

I'm running Fedora core 1. The NIC is identified properly as a
VIA VT6102 Rhine-II but it does not get activated! It fails during the boot up. Please help me.

-Sarav

show us the dmesg report and what happens when you restart networking. have you tried ifconfig eth0 up?
