Hello folks,

Running FC3, xmms, updated to play MP3s. Had sound during the initial install and on the first boot using the test sound button. However now no sound is played, have checked the overall volume control however even with all of them maxed, no beans.

Using an SB Audigy soundcard.

Thanks for any help folks!

Hi MTUTech, welcome to lq. Are you trying to play local files or maybe a cd? Have you had a look at alsamixer?
good luck.

Thanks for the welcome Peacedog!

Mostly looking to play just local files and shoutcast type stuff. Just checked alsamixer, all of the entries are maxxed, none muted.

Do you have system sounds? Lets check out what modules are loaded and your hardware. Please post the output of /sbin/lspci -v, and /sbin/lsmod.
good luck.

Thanks for giving me a hand with this Peacedog, appreciate it!

No system sounds at all, except for the first day that is. After that first reboot, nadda.

Here is the results of lspci -v

It appears the modules are loaded. Perhaps you'll need to mute one or more channels to get it to work. I've seen that problem before. Please list the available channels from alsamixer.
good luck.

Mute a channel eh? Odd little thing this is!

Thanks much Peacedog!

PC Speaker
Aux
Analog/Digital Output Jack

Thanks for the help Peacedog! Now I got some rockin tuneage.

Glad you got it sorted, some googling should tell you which channels exactly you need, and which ones you should keep muted. If all is well however, you may be fine to leave it as is.
good luck.

Good Job Peace Dog...

My girlfriends computer had the same problem.

Its actually the 'Audigy Analog/Digital' that needs to be muted.

Zubin

Good on you for sorting it yourself, and posting a solution. This may help countless others searching for an answer. Thank you, and good luck.

I'm seeing the same problem (I think), with an Audigy card on a Dell XPS Gen 4, running Fedora 3. If I unmute the Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack setting, I get a buzzing noise. If I mute it, I get silence. I've played with all the other settings to no avail. Any other suggestions? It works fine under WinXP.

Could we also see the output from /sbin/lspci -v please? This card may need to use the emu10k1x driver.
good luck.

Here's the output from /sbin/lspci -v. Thanks for any help!
