Fedora 7...audio problem - laptop

[jan1024188]

Hello

I have just installed Fedora 7 on my Toshiba Satellite p100-10P laptop.
Sound drivers are installed, but I get no sound. I get the error:

cannot detect sound card

Ive got a Toshiba Bass Enhanced Sound System with SRS® TruSurround XT™ technology I will check in Vista for more details.

Ive tryed ALSA and Conexant CX20549 (venice) device.

Any ideas?

In Vista it says I have Conexant High Definition Audio working

Did you try using alsaconf from the command line to see if it detects your card?

[jan1024188]

[root@localhost ~]# alsaconf
-bash: alsaconf: command not found

[MikeTbob]

[root@localhost ~]# alsaconf
-bash: alsaconf: command not found

Ok, try installing alsa-utils with yum.

[daark.child]

I think alsaconf was removed from the version of alsa-utils shipped by Fedora. The last time I had issues with my soundcard, I rebuilt the alsa-utils rpm and enabled building of alsaconf. An alternative would be to install alsa-utils from source.

[root@localhost jan]# yum install alsa-utils
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Nothing to do
[root@localhost jan]# yum install alsaconf

Do I need any repos or I should I download a rpm and install?

I'm not using Fedora 7 yet, but make sure you have enabled the Livna repo, and if daark.child is right, you might have to install it from source instead of an rpm.

I've installed alsa-utils from source, I've tryed alsaconf BUT NOTHING HELPS.

When I try playing an audio file in xmms it shows that its playing, but I hear no sound.


Help me

Do you use KDE?
I seem to remember seeing a "detect soundcard" in the K-menu>system or somewhere like that, maybe they removed it from Fedora7.
Is the module for your card being loaded? post the output of

lsmod

Or maybe try the system-config-sound, sorry I don't have Fedora in front of me, can't verify this.
