Hi, I've installed CentOS 5.2 to a laptop Acer 5920 for dual boot, the audio works in Window Vista, but does not work in CentOS 5.2. Does CentOS 5.2 support following audio chip or not? Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Thank you. Kind Regards, Jim
When you say it doesn't work, are you getting an error message saying that there's no sound device?
Does lspci list your soundcard? If you have a super long list and can't locate it easily, you can try (but I can't promise this will work for you, it does for me however) lspci | grep audio
If I recall you're using gnome. You should (but may not) have a volume icon on your panel. Right click that icon and ensure that the mute box is not checked. If it's not checked, select "Open Volume Control" and make sure your volume is turned up. If you still do not have sound try right clicking the volume speaker icon again and selecting "Preferences". Make sure that the correct device is selected.
I googled around and found various issues with the model of Acer you have listed, but sound didn't seem to be a problem save for one user using Ubuntu (I didn't spend that much time looking, sorry) who only got sound out of one speaker. A Fedora review of sorts listed the chipset as just working, but I believe that was for Fedora 8.
