Hello All,
Hi Gerhard,
I've just installed FC4 on a new machine that is dual booting with Windows XP. The soundcard and speakers work fine on the Windows side. On the FC4 side, when I test the sound with the soundcard detection program I get this:
The following audio device was detected. Vendor: Intel Model: Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller Module: snd-hda-intel
But when I press the button "Play test sound" I don't hear anything. Volume control on the Gnome panel is turned all the way up as are the other volume controls on the Alsa Mixer widget.
This is a known issue on FC4. What you need to do is open the mixer, and look for the switch "analogue/digital output jack" and turn it on. Then your sound will play just fine. I don't know why it default to the off position, but it's frustrating if you don't know about it.
