I am trying to get alsa working in a new install of FC5 using an
onboard nvidia nforce2 intel8x0 sound chip and an SP/DIF output. I am
using the same .asoundrc file from my previous FC3 installation that
was working fine. I am using the 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 kernel and the
1.0.11-4rc2 version of alsa that came with it. I don't remember what
version I was running under FC3.
Unlike most people with sound problems, who have no sound, my sound
works, but it is too loud and nothing I do in alsamixer has any
effect on it. I have disabled the built-in sound in the KDE sound
control panel. I can't find any error messages anywhere that seem to
have anything to do with sound. All the tests I tried from the
various how-to pages seem to indicate that alsa sees the card.
I did notice that the /etc/modprobe.conf file has a remove line but
no install line for snd-intel8x0. Also it has some lines for snd-
mpu401. Is that correct?
alias eth0 forcedeth
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_nv
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-1 snd-mpu401
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd-mpu401 index=1
remove snd-mpu401 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 1 >/dev/null 2>&1
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-mpu401
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-8762
alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-8762
# ivtv modules setup
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
lirc_i2c
I was thinking of upgrading to the 1.0.11 final version to see if
that fixed it but I haven't been able to find any RPMs of that one yet.
Thanks for any ideas,
Jamie
