Hi, I cannot get sound to work on my Medion MD96420 laptop. According to Vista the card is a Realtek High Definition Audio card. Maker Realtek Semiconductor Corp.. Driver Version (for Vista) 6.0.1.5523. Two of them are listed, one at Location 2 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus) and Location 0 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus). Under Fedora 9 the audio card is listed as Intel Corp.82801H (ICH Family) HD Audio Controller (Rev. 03) Works fine under Vista but absolutely nothing under Fedora 9. I tried to build the Linux driver from the realtek site (LinuxPkg_5.07.tar.bz2 which unpacks to realtek-linux-audiopack-5.07) but it fails complaining about needing curses. I have all the ncurses RPMs installed. I have had no response from the Realtek support people about this. I tried building the drivers from the latest alsa-drivers tarball. All went OK and installed without error. Again nothing... The main problem I see is that there is no way to start the sound server. There is no option in the sound preferences utility as described in the help file for it. See attachment. System > Administration > Services had alsasound and alsasound.new. Both showed as running but not enabled. I enabled both but didn't help. Re-booted, still no sound. The ALSA driver is running according to the alsasound script. /sbin/lsmod | grep snd gives the following: [graeme@flintstone Download]$ /sbin/lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_intel 376568 0 snd_seq_dummy 6788 0 snd_seq_oss 30748 0 snd_seq_midi_event 9728 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 45604 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 10124 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 36640 0 snd_mixer_oss 16640 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 63108 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_timer 21128 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 11656 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd_hwdep 10500 1 snd_hda_intel snd 47032 10 snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_hwdep soundcore 9288 1 snd [graeme@flintstone Download]$ Perhaps pulseaudio needs to be stopped. but I cannot see how to do that at the moment. Clicking on the Volume Control in the panel elicits "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found" Opening the pulseaudio volume control shows "no streams, no sinks and no sources available" Got me stumped! I have the following alsa rpms installed as well as the alsa-driver tarball I installed yesterday: [graeme@flintstone utils]$ rpm -qa | grep alsa bluez-utils-alsa-3.32-1.fc9.i386 alsa-oss-1.0.15-0.1.fc9.i386 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.16-4.fc9.i386 alsa-lib-devel-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386 alsa-utils-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386 alsa-oss-libs-1.0.15-0.1.fc9.i386 alsa-lib-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386 [graeme@flintstone utils]$ Has anybody managed to get this sound card working? All help appreciated. -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ...
