I've been having some problems getting the onboard sound to work on a
Dell Dimension 4500. This is an Intel AC '97:
(from lspci)
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
Kernel is 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 on a P4 2Ghz.
lsmod shows the correct modules being installed:
snd_intel8x0 33249 3
snd_ac97_codec 67489 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss 47989 0
snd_mixer_oss 17089 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 93001 4 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer 29125 1 snd_pcm
snd 52645 11
snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc 9541 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
I've tried with "plug and play OS" both on and off in the BIOS (should
this be "off" with FC 3 as with most other x86 UNIX and Linux variants?
Looking in the dmesg output, there does seem to be some PnP junk...)
system-config-sound and xmms both seem to work, except I don't hear
anything. aumix and everything else I've tried seems to show the levels
being set properly.
I don't get any permission denied errors; after it didn't work, I did
try mucking around with the permissions a little (mostly just doing a
chmod a+rw on some of the relevant devices), but that didn't help.
Any ideas on what I can do to get this working (other than to just
install an old soundblaster card in the machine)? Any further info I can
provide to help with troubleshooting?
