Sound Problems
 

Please i have a problem hearing any sound on my system.
Anybody with the solution should pls help me.:tisk:

I have moved this to Linux Newbie. On to your problem:
which distro are you using?
what's your hardware?
what have you tried already?

And I have renamed your thread because "Help Me!" tells us nothing at all about your problem.

Have you ran alsamixer to make sure that your sound and PCM is not muted?

Soundcard
 

Thank you very much for your last contribution,i check into my soundcard, i couldn't get any sound and as a result i got this message:


Automatic detection of soundcard did not work.
Audio will not be available on the system.
You can inspect/root/scsound.log and file
a new bug at http://bugzilla.redhat.com.

I have try this for long which they never reply
me with any solution.
Any help will be appreciated.

I know i'm almost there so i will not give up
I'll so much appreciate any reply from anybody.
Thank you.

Bamitola - I have merged your posts into your existing thread.

Yah,i appreciate you all for your concern about my system,i ran the command alsamixeron my system and i got this:

[AlsaMixer v1.0.11rc2 (Press Escape to quit)]────────────────┐│ Card: HDA Intel ││ Chip: SigmaTel STAC9200 ││ View: [Playback] Capture All ││ Item: Master ││ ││ ┌──┐ ┌──┐ ┌──┐ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ ││ │▒▒│ │▒▒│ │ │ Mic ││ ├──┤ └──┘ └──┘ ││ │OO│ ││ └──┘ ││ 97<>97 99<>99 0<>0 ││ < Master > PCM Capture Input So

what is the output of this command:
ls -l /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer*

and

ls -l /var/run/ |grep lock

Please what does this commands do?

The first on one was invalid,and the second one run,but no output.
Whatelse do i do?

I had the same issue. I installed all the latest updates with yum and then a redetection of the soundcard did help. Maybe works for you also.

I really appreciate you all,but what are you telling me to update?
ls it the Fedora Core 5 or what?
If it is,what command do i use from the terminal,because FC5 does not update
normally,but from the terminal.
Thank you very much for all this,Love you all.

This updates everything - I don't know if this is really what you want to do but I cannot tell you the exact library that solved my problem.

It is like the Windows Updates =:o)

Let me paint this picture clearly.I have a Dell product (INSPIRON| B130)
Which may not be in circulaion while FC5 was publish,My soundcars for windows work perfectly, but for my linux thats where i have problem.
I guess i need an update but how?
Thank you.

I had an issue on my Dell Latitude. In the BIOS there's a setting for sound giving you the options for 'half-duplex', 'full-duplex' and 'disable'. After wrestling with my sound for days, I finally got my sound recognized and no little red x over the speaker icon. I still couldn't get it to work. It wasn't until I changed it in the BIOS to 'full-duplex' that I actually was able to use it.
