I apologize for this FAQ ... I searched through bugzilla but was unable to piece together the answer. This bug seems related, but it looked like to me that you were waiting for information from the submitter: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=79 On Dell Latitude D600 and D400 laptops, with a clean install of FC4 ... or with all the updates, there is no sound from the built-in speakers. Headphones do produce sound. Using alsamixer and typing 'm' on the 'External Amplifier' *does* enable the built-in speakers. I filed a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com ... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173250 ... they essentially rejected it, saying that some systems need it ON and other systems need it OFF Q: Was this answer from RedHat correct? >>From messages I have seen on mailing lists, this is a problem on more systems than just Dell Systems. I would like to understand this problem a bit more and try to assist in getting it resolved. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rlrevell - 12-31-05 00:24 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is correct - some systems need it on and some need it off so there's no good default. It's important to try all mixer settings if you don't get any sound.
