yesterday had sound ,now don't!
 

Hello everyone there!

I use FC6 and i have Creative Labs SB Audigy LS
When i had FC5 my sound didn't work at all.The configuration menu recognised my sound card but it just didn't work.I heared only noise.
In FC6 i also din't hear any sound but suddenly (after i did update maybe?) my sound worked but it recognised only stereo 2.1 and not surround 5.1.
Again suddenly,today i am at the beggining!I have no sound,i hear only the noise.
I tried changing my /etc/modprobe.conf as alsa says but nothing.
If anyone knows what to do..

Thanks!

Sounds like the common issue. Run the command in a terminal. Run the command ' alsamixer '. Check the volumes for master and pcm. Use arrow keys to move across and raise if set at zero. Now check and see if a MM is at the top of those bars. If so arrow over to that channel and hit the M key to unmute the channel. Exit and test for sound. To save the settings after a reboot run this command as root ' alsactl store '.

No,nothing happens
I had this problem with FC5 too
I hear only noise

Check in the HCL section here. It is a link at the top or to the right. See if others have the same issue. Most Audigy I thought used the module emu10k1. List your loaded modules with the command ' lsmod '. One last thought is make sure speakers is plugged in the correct port.

Brian

I have done search and i figured that i must use ca0106
Also,i remind you that for some time suddenly i had music and suddenly gone away!

My lsmod

I didn't find anything at the link

Looks like it is seeing two sound cards. Is there onboard audio card?
If so post contents of /etc/modprobe.conf
If bios can disable the onboard sound card try that.
On reboot then the kudzu tool should correct hardware devices.
Try sound. If no sound try the alsamixer routine in above post.

Brian

I have disabled the on board card.
My /etc/modprobe.conf is

alias eth0 8139too
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_nv
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
alias snd-card-0 snd-ca0106
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-ca0106 index=0
remove snd-ca0106 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ca0106

alias snd-card-1 snd-mpu401
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd-mpu401 index=1

remove snd-mpu401 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 1 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-mpu401

I added the lines below #ALSA portion as i saw at the alsa project site
But before that (adding the lines) again i hadn't sound

Thanks !

Know nothing about the #Alsa section you have added. Other than that it looks good on the modprobe.conf file. That is the correct module for the sound card you have as far as what I can find here and on the net. I am at a lost now as to why it does not work.

What is the permission of /dev/dsp

Brian

The permission is read and write
When i do /dev/dsp at console as root it says access denied

Does seem odd. Doing a ls -l /dev/dsp shows crw****** for me. Is this yours?

Brian

Play with the settings system-config-soundcard until you hear pleasant sounds.
Hit apply and reboot.
Play an audio loop with xmms or other sound program and mess around with the sliders in kmix until you hear sound again.
Log out of KDE. This will save your session and settings. Or go into session editor and enable restart to manually-saved sessions and save your session. Now KDE will remember these settings every time it boots up, even if you mess with them later.

Yes , my /dev/dsp is crw*****

I play with kmix settings but nothing.I can hear a little bit sound .Noise is everywhere

I did mention it earlier but does the card have 2 jacks for speakers? If so try the other. Other than that I am at a lost to the issue. Maybe the card you have is not the same as previous Audigy ones and the module does not work with that card.

Brian

You have enabled digital sound, which sounds like noise on normal speakers. Maybe right-click kmix and enable IEC958 playback and then disable it. Try clicking and un-clicking the other IEC958 switches too, especially IEC958 output.

Or get digital speakers.

I disabled IEC958 ,played with kmix but still the same noise!
I don't know what to do!!!

Thanks anyway!
