Audio Problem with latest Kernel Update

[Arindam Dey <adey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I had posted this message earlier on the redhat-list but there was no
reply regarding this. So I am now trying my luck on the
sound-list.Anybodyyyyyyyyyy....pls help me.

I have recently installed RH 9 and was merrily using the RHN update
without any problems till now.

Recently about a few days back RH released the kernel update
linux-2.4.20-18.9 which I dutifully applied and as warned rebooted the
PC to test the latest update.

But using this kernel I am unable to play any sound. Initially I thought
that the problem was with the sound settings and tried playing with the
settings but to no avail. Thankfully I remembered that I had updated my
kernel and voila on rebooting sound plays beautifully.

The system is RedHat 9.0 with all the updates applied or at least the
RHN icon in the panel claims so. There is a huge blue tick so I think
all the updates are applied.

This is an i845 and I am using the onboard sound card.

The same modules are loaded in both the cases I saved the lsmod output
and compared both of them.

Any other information if required please tell me I do not know what else
to include.
