Hi Ed, I got the same problem as yours suffering without sound on RH8.0 for months. I tried many mailing lists including this one, alsa-user, etc. without a solution. Now my problem has been solved. I use motherboard built-in sound card 1) As Root # lspci ... .... 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 10) .... If your sound card uses Via chip, your problem is the same as mine. 2) In such a case use attached document as guidance to solve your sound problem. 3) In case of difficulty visit following list. http://forums.viaarena.com/messageview.cfm?catid=28&threadid=32236 There are 34 postings discussing sound problem on RH8.0 using VIA chip similar to mine. Hope this can help. B.Regards Stephen (Remark: use ONLY "alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6.tar.bz2", not the latest package. I learned a bitter lesson on them suffering a problem which I am going to post to this list later for assistance) On Tue, 2003-05-06 at 04:35, Ed L. wrote: > Can anyone suggest hints as to why sound does not work on my Redhat 8.0 > system or how I might troubleshoot it further? > > I have RH 8.0 (updated to kernel 2.4.18-27.8.0) installed on a Sony Vaio > PCG-GRZ610 notebook (dual booting W2K from Grub). > > RealPlayer shows video, but no audio. > Music CDs play but do not output any audio. > Ogle, however, can successfully run movie DVDs with audio. > > The sound card, according to the Hardware Browser and lspci, is Intel's > Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio (rev 2).
