    No sound on FC6

    Hello

    Can somebody please help me with the sound on fc6?
    When using FC6 (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6) I do not get any audio. ALSA and the sound card configuration recognize it as snd-intel8x0, but no sound comes out. I've searched everywhere and can't find out what to do.

    Output of lsmod | grep snd:
    snd_intel8x0 70505 26
    snd_ac97_codec 143769 1 snd_intel8x0
    snd_ac97_bus 35905 1 snd_ac97_codec
    snd_seq_dummy 37317 0
    snd_seq_oss 69953 0
    snd_seq_midi_event 41921 1 snd_seq_oss
    snd_seq 96609 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
    snd_seq_device 42581 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
    snd_pcm_oss 81761 0
    snd_mixer_oss 51649 1 snd_pcm_oss
    snd_pcm 125129 15 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
    snd_timer 59849 14 snd_seq,snd_pcm
    snd 101737 37 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,sn d_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd _timer
    soundcore 44769 1 snd
    snd_page_alloc 44113 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

    Many thanks in advance.

    Well fist you need to make sure that your channels are unmuted via the mixer.
    use alsamixer command and unmute any muted channels, also bring everything to 80%. Do you have more then one sound card installed?

    In addition post the output of this command:

    if you could upgrade to a newer version, you would likely have less hardware problems since more drivers will be in the kernel and existing drivers will support more devices and have less bugs, F6 is quite old now.

    I have unmuted everything via alsamixer and everything is over 80% but still no sound. I don't really want to upgrade because I've got a software that runs well with FC6 and it will be a proper headache to make it work on a newer fedora version. Eventually I will install a newer version but right now is not a good time.
