I'm having a problem with the sound on my laptop. It has the
intel
82801 ICH7 soundcard in it, and it doesn't seem to want to work
properly.
During install it detected and played fine, but now that I've got
logged in after a reboot it refuses to work.
I had this problem with FC6, and it seems to have carried over to F7.
One thing to note, my system seems to detect two sound devices.
The snd-hda-intel as well as usb sound. U0x46d:0x8c6.
Any ideas I can try to get it working?
Thanks.
In all likelihood, the devices are randomly switching order on boot.
Unless specified, if there is more than one device, they can alternate
at startup. Alsa can get confused between modem/soundcards and
soundcards.
So run either aplay -lLv or cat /proc/asound/cards to look at the
devices that alsa knows about.
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1
to /etc/modprobe.d/sound or /etc/modprobe.conf on your system to
specify which card becomes which device, changing the snd-???????
entries to reflect your actual devices from the commands
above.
