What kind of laptop do you have? And could you also post the output of lspci -v and what you have in modprobe.conf?


Edit: Sorry for the double post.

Not sure if this will be of any help since I use an old system with an onboard maestro3 sound card. I had issues with sound following installation of Mandriva 2008.0. I got the boot message that alsa was already running, that alsactrl was being run to restore mixer settings, then when KDE finishes loading, no sound.

I ran the command service alsa restart in a terminal window as root and sound worked. but following reboot, no sound. My solution was to add this command to my system's /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. Sound is working OK now here.

Note: Mandriva 2008.1 (Spring) has a newer version of alsa, and with the rc2 Live CD sound works well here with no fixes. I think I'll like the new Pulse Audio system they have added.

HTH,

It's a Gateway. I don't have it here I have to get it back. I'll follow up.

I have installed mandriva one on my laptop (fujitsu-siemens amilo pro v3405) but there is no sound (I have an Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio soundcard).I tried to edit my /etc/modprobe.conf (adding this line: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack ) without any sucess. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I would just get 2008.1 and use that, the problem is fixed in the newer version.

I meant mandriva one as mandriva 2008.1 spring. But it worked with mandriva 2008.

Weird. You shouldn't need that line any more. It's not just something as simple as the volumes being turned down? Have you tried running kmix and having a play?!

I tried it and I also checked if it's not muted .Somehow it doesn't want to recognise my sound card (in spite of it uses the latest alsa driver).

Check in kmixer under Current mixer and check if you have more than one device listed.

yes there is my intel hda card ....and the snd_hda_intel driver is installed and used...i checked again alsamixer and tried to disable pulseaudio in controlcenter....

Editing my modprobe.conf (options snd_hda_intel model=3stack) has solved it...i think...anyway the sound works properly. Thanks for the helps.
