Fedora Installation :: Audio Soundcard Detection Was Skipped During Install?
Oct 27, 2009
I put "%" before and after my username and name which gave the install an error. So I changed the username to one without the special character '%' but left the name with and the setup proceeded with an error and skipped the other three stages (sound testing, time, hardware setup). But everything seems fine with the install except I have not configured the sound card.
From what I have seen the install is pretty much fine other than the lack of functions which I obviously missed during the preference end section of the install. And so I was wondering is there a way to manually detect and use a easily configure a sound card or any way for that matter? The installation guide of Fedora 11 gives advice that was outdated 'system-configure-soundcard"(or something similar) has been removed since F9.
[Code]...
Currently have a few mixers installed which may be conflicting but the extra mixers were a symptom I created due to the no sound problem. The mixers are definitely not the major cause though. My onboard motherboard sound has not been set up as a module to be run is what I assume but any help would be great.
I've just bought a very cheap USB sound device as the jacks built into my laptop are practically dead. I bought it as I'd googled around and seen that other people have it working in linux. Anyway, I plug it in and am able to select "USB AUDIO (ALSA)" from the xfce4-mixer. However, I don't get any sound from any applications.
Here is my aplay -l output: Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 2: default [USB AUDIO], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I can't find any options for the output on alsamixer and don't really know what to do. I'm running Mint with xfce4 on a Dell Studio 15.
I am looking for a piece of software that will play my audio CDs without having that little soundcard hookup thing. The only software that works for me so far has been audacious but that doesn't seem to work all the time for me.
have recently installed CentOS 5.6 Final on TWO DIFFERENT desktop PC's, and, on EITHER ONE, I can not get any sound output when using KMid to play a "standard .mid file (the file I am using to experiment with is "Canyon.mid", from the Windoze Media directory, a fairly standard midi audio file, I should think?!). I have normal audio output on both of these machines (.mp3 files, system sounds, etc.), so the specific sound cards are NOT the issue, here!I am thinking I must be missing something, as both of these PC's are completely different CPU types, etc. as well. The only significant similiarity in the two machines is the complete lack of MIDI audio output!And, yea, the soundcards are BOTH MPU-401 compatible, and they both have irq's assigned to this port (or, maybe just one has an irq assigned, I will have to double check...).
I downloaded x86-64 hybrid DVD and done everything according to instructions from Installation without CD - openSUSE.After booting from USB HDD, the first page took about 3 minutes to switch menu to the installation media option then afterwards the installation got stuck on Hard drive detection (probably 2 hours before i rebooted into windows 7). Installation scenario is:
Machine: Compaq presario C767TU HDD: 320 GB with Windows 7 Ultimate on root partition, all other partitions NTFS Free Space for Linux: 30 GB (Extended partition) currently having Mandriva 2010 with /swap 2GB, / 10GB,
I've installed FC 15 on a USB stick (it is not a live usb, it is a regular installation on a usb stick), and I am looking for a way to automatically detect and mount swap partitions on a host system where usb stick is plugged in. I am using many FC boxes and almost all of them have a swap partition on the hard drive and I would like to use them even if I boot my system from a usb stick.
After successful upgrading from 11.3 to 11.4 I had to install ATI driver from here Index of /mirror/ati/openSUSE_11.4 and delete the old ones. After rebooting the system entered in runlevel 5 where I received kwin error which I couldn't back-trace with the tools, but it was working. When I have made an on-line update and rebooted again it went to runlevel 3 without showing any error. When I type startx it shows error, but when I enter as root KDE starts normally and it's functional. how to get to the KDE with my account, but not as a root user ?
After the GRUB prompt, my boot process does not advance to the login GUI. It kicks me out to the console view of the boot process and ends with a text prompt for logging in.
I get the following message just before the "Welcome to OpenSUSE 11.1" line:
Skipped services in runlevel 5: nfs
what's happening and how can I retrieve the login GUI?
i would like some help, i wanted to setup a ubuntu 10 desktop on some amd64 comp to make it a comp to watch movies and listen to music, but no luck cos i cant get the sound working. i noticed lots of ppl with same soundcard than me having the same problem. ("soundMAX integrated Digital HD Audio" its an onboard video card on my 64 bits nvidia motherboard thats about 5 years old..) old thread about this: [URL]....

-Update BIOS (not even sure if that is required step, but it generally always good idea to do that). -Get latest ALSA drivers [URL].... I got "1.0.12rc1" but "1.0.11 final" should also do. -Put "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack" to "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base". -Worked for me after reboot.
i skipped all the parts about *updating, i downloaded that ubuntu install from [URL]... yesterday im pretty sure the alsa drivers should be up to date.........
now, I want to add my new Fedora system entry to my "central" lilo.conf, resident on another linux distribution. So, i've done
[Code]...
my lilo fedora entry boots fine but... at the middle of "after boot" loading the system hangs and stops the usual driver detection, etc (normally, it hangs on the CDROM detection or USB 2.0 camera detection).
When doing the install, all appears to go well. I added the "nomodeset" option after the first boot to avoid the graphics issues. KDE comes up and is in 800x600 mode at 50hz. That is the best resolution it will show. All other options in the configure desktop applet are lower. This monitor was driven at 1900x1200 on the same config with 11.2.
[Code]...
In the nVidia-Settings applet (run as root), it shows the display as "CRT-0". 11.2 showed it as a Dell.
I've just installed OpenSuse 11.3 on my new laptop but I've skiped the network configuration during the installation of system, but after that when I use the command : dhclient eth0 I'll be connected without any problem except when I reboot the system, I should retype the command to connect
I have the problem that for working properly my soundcard needs sort of re-initialisation after every reboot (11.3, 64 bit). I have to change a setting in the sound module of yast that causes the yast to rerun its final steps. What is not working otherwise is audio playback from a usb TV-stick (recording is no problem, same as playing an audio/video file). any idea what might be the problem? how to call the final steps of the sound module of yast from the command line, I could at least put that call into boot.local to avoid having to call yast.
I am a total Newbie in the matter of Linux installation and configuration and I just ran into my first major problem. I have a Dell XPS 720 with a Creative Labs Soundblaster X-Fi extreme Gamer Soundcard. But when I tried to set the Sound-Preferences, I got the following error message:"audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audiosample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback."By now I know, why the system is unable to open the device, because during the installation of Debian (Lenny) the system recognized another "sounddevice", which is called SP2208WFP. That is my monitor with integrated webcam and microphone. And of course, it doesn't make a noise. So I have disconnected the USB cable to the monitor to avoid an automatic recognition (that costs me 3 important USB plugs) and I tried (now since 3 days) to configure the Sounblaster as the current sound device. But without success. lspci -v shows me, that there is a Soundblaster device:
I have a netbook with inbuilt camera attached. i have fedora 14 installed.Is there any software which can login using face detection.I think this is a safer way to login.
I was listening to music and decided to check update manager, and after the install I reboot and then POOF, sound is gone, I checked Alsamixer and got "no such file" did aplay -l and got that there was no soundcard found, which I officially can say is bull, since, I DO have a card, hahaha. I am running a HP G72 and already went through the comprehensive check and kinda got with seeing which driver matched my card*EDIT* heres some info I forgot to post
Code: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1484
Recently I installed a new soundcard to my computer, and I don't have any sound anymore in Linux. Now I have in YaST two sound chips, one AC97 and my soundcard Asus Xonar Essence STX. Obviously Linux detected my soundcard since the custom driver called "Virtuoso" is there. However, my soundchip has still the slot 0, and my soundcard is not configured yet. And here I'm stuck, because:
1. when I tried to delete the AC97 entry, YaST hangs (actually y2base or something like that, the sound subprogram). Alternatively, I tried to just disable the driver, but this wasn't possible (unlike with Windows, where you just click a checkbox).
2. when I tried to configure my new soundcard, the configuration program got stuck again - with every of the three alternatives (fast setup, normal setup and custom setup or so).
I also tried whether the old soundchip is still working, plugging in my headphone into the output of the AC97 soundchip, but I didn't hear anything, so system sound really seems to be broken.
In these days my hard disk is weird.I can see in my pc that the red light (when read/write process to the disk happens) remain on and Linux crash, it seems that the hard disk has problems.Therefore, exits a tool according with your experience that let me see the status of all my hard disk?
I am running Fedora 10 on my laptop. Recently I installed Empathy to use voice chat on Linux, however, Empathy does not detect the laptops built in microphone! I have checked the audio settings and found that the mic is enabled. I know that the mic is working as it works fine when I am booted onto my Windows partition.
This is how I got my firebox to work in conjunction with my onboard soundcard (in my case, Intel HDA) on Fedora 11 x86_64. This article assumes you have basic knowledge on jack and qjackctl and a jack-compatible program such as ardour.

Reasons: Personally, I just wanted to be able to do it and to be able to give a good explanation when people ask me why I'm monitoring recordings through headphones - and because it won't work through the PC speakers wasn't going to cut it. You may also need it because while recording "deaf" might be fine, playback needs to go through your state-of-the-art monitors. You may need it because you have a studio all set up and for some odd reason, you just need to add a firebox in. Of course, if you had a studio, you could have just patched the line outs to your main speakers. But that is besides the point.
After searching for almost 3-4 days, I chanced upon rokit's thread and was very disheartened when he seemed to have found no solution. Today, he solved the connection issues but I wanted more. Unlike him, I wasn't using my firebox as a sound card. It would be a sin to waste my onboard audio capabilities. The Juice (some parts paraphrased from rokit's solution)You need to install the PlanetCCRMA repository. Since I'm using Fedora 11 (x86_64), I used this one. This will install the repositories for you so tat yum will be able to locate the needed updates.

If you have jack1 (0.x.x) already installed, you MUST uninstall it. jack2 will NOT work with jack1. Code:
yum remove jack-audio-connection-kit*
The * at the end will also remove the -devel version if you had it installed. Uninstalling jack will remove a lot of existing software that uses jack as a dependancy. Take note of them so you can reinstall them later. Install FFADO. FFADO is the new Freebob from the same developers. It's the driver that will connect jack2 to the firebox. You MUST install this before jack2.
Like rokit, I have had much trouble running this without the realtime kernel. I ended up installing Fedora in another partition and this is what I have. As a result, I now have no graphics driver and everything looks weird. I will try to install ATI Catalyst 9,9 and if it works I'll post back. If I don't, assume it doesn't.
I understand that Fedora 14 using automatic printer detection. When i plug in my Epson DX4450 printer nothing happens and i can find no way to configure the printer. This has never been a problem with any other linux distro. How can I correct this problem? Why does auto printer detection not work?
I'm using an external Cambridge Audio Dacmagic with F12 and Amarok. This worked great, until I upgraded Fedora this morning. The Dacmagic does not appear anymore in the Multimedia Audio Systems settings, only Pulseaudio is shown. However, in my hardware info widget, the Dacmagic does appear? This is shown as "C-media USB Headphone set". Now I'm totally lost. I did restart Fedora with the Dacmagic on, I did restart the Dacmagic with Fedora running, but nothing changed.Any good suggestions on what I can try next--- Post added at 04:47 PM CST ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM CST ----------Isn't the net fun? Poking around, I found I could try "lsusb". The output gives:
[root@Mediacenter ~]# lsusb Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
I am trying to run xoscope an oscilliscope program that uses the soundcard. It looks for dev/dsp to access the soundcard. I understand that dev/dsp is no longer included in Fedora (Fedora 12 in my case). Is there a way I can make a link called dsp that links to whatever the file is for pulseaudio or also or whatever?
I was using alsa, but then reverted temporarily to pulseAudio due to a minor issue. Later on, I did remove pulseaudio through yum. And that was the end. No matter what alsa/pulseaudio version I install or reinstall...
I'm running Fedora 15 XFCE spin, Audacity 1.3.13-beta and my sound is ALSA/Pulseaudio (I'm not totally sure what these are anyway, are they drivers?) Anyway, when I'm in Audacity and I go to the record options I can choose from default, pulse, and HDA ATI SB:ALC268 Analog (hw:0,0). If I try any of these three options and press record I get static. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like to press record for each of the three options in order.
[URL]
The last option won't even record nothing, it just doesn't work. Also, if you look where the little picture of the microphone is, the option to drag the input volume is greyed out.
My sound was working quite fine with Fedora 13 (Internal Audio) until I decided that I want to install the appropriate driver from the vendor's website.
