    No sound with Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem with the latest Fedora. Installed it cleanly on a machine with Gigabyte H55M-S2 with Intel Core i3. There seems to be no sound and I checked to see if anything is muted but is not. The manual says that the sound chip is ALC888B so this could be the first problem. Any ide how I can make it work? Here is a dump of some things on my system.

    Code:
    [weaz ~]$ lspci | grep Audio
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
    
    [weaz ~]$ uname -a
    Linux EarthwormJim 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:34:36 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    
    [weaz ~]$ aplay -l
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC887 Analog [ALC887 Analog]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC887 Digital [ALC887 Digital]
    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    
    [weaz ~]$ cat /proc/asound/version
    Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.
    
    [weaz ~]$ head -n 1 /proc/asound/card*/codec#*
    Codec: Realtek ALC887
    And here is the pastebin of dmesg dump:

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Open the Alsa mixer and make sure the PCM output is set to the top.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    I did that. All sliders are set to max, no mute (unmute) on everything.

    Please post the output for the sound chip from the command 'lspci' as well as the output from the command 'lsmod | grep -i snd'.

    I got it working without the OSS hack

    I had symptoms similar to described herein after upgrading to Fedora 14, similar hardware (Dell Precision M4500, core i7, everything else pretty much working ok ) Replacing the audio subsystem seemed like a pretty drastic solution, so I dug around. I'm a KDE fan, so I was messing around in Settings -> System Settings.

    Eventually, Under Hardware -> Multimedia -> Phonon -> Device Preference I noticed that there were two audio cards listed, one called "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" and one called "High Definition Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI)". If I clicked on one, the audio test (button at the bottom) played sound, the other did not. So I clicked on "prefer" for the sound card that played sound and order was restored to the universe.
