Sound broken after update

[eppo#1]

Hi everyone,

Last week my Fedora 9 64 bit (Lenovo T61) received some update and after that sound does not work anymore. Strangely enough, Bluetooth is all of a sudden on without me switching it on. When Fedora boots there is an error message that you shouldn't name two things with the same name in the same place and something about "kobject". Booting in an older kernel doesn't help. At the moment my most recent kernel is 2.6.27.5-41.fc9.x86_64.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this, other than reinstalling Fedora?

Thanks in advance!

Hi tiendn,

I installed Fedora 9 again yesterday with kernel 2.6.27. Now the sound works on my headset, but still not on my laptop speakers. So, in a way it has been fixed. I just need to check whether my speakers physically broke perhaps to be sure.

Here too

This worked for me.

Menu

System->Preferences->Hardware->Volume control

Select Tab Switches
Deselect Headphones check box (may explain eppo#1 problem ;-).

Then sound started working again.

No idea why it changed. But it's now working again

Hope it helps.

After second re-installation of fedora 9 again the same problems. The solution of dmitryk doesn't seem to work for me. After a week of use I have again a recurring kernel failure with the message:

Kernel failure message 1:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:463 sysfs_add_one+0x35/0x3d()

Does anybody experience this or know what to do?

Thanks in advance!

I have a similar problem. I reinstalled Fedora Core 9 after experimenting with some other distros, everything worked OK. Then I installed the nvidia drivers via RPMFusion (kmod-nvidia) and also got a new kernel (2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.i686). When I rebooted, I had no sound, and no net connection. Switching back to my older kernel fixes both sound and modem issues (but I loose my desktop FX...)
I'm currently using the following hardware:
AMD Atlhon 64 3500+
2GB DDR RAM
Asus A8N-SLI Mobo
Geforce 9600 GTX+
Creative Audigy 2ZS
Huawei E220 Modem.

I'm quite new to Linux. How can I diagnose/cure these problems?

Thanks for your help

Take a look at this and see if you can fix your levels there:

alsamixer -c0

[jideck]

had the same symptoms bu it worked for me after restart ...

and of cource I run yum update (from all extra repo I have for nvidia, adobe livna etc) before restart

I would love to run yum update, but the other thing that broke was my net connection.

Is there any way I can install the Nvidia on my current kernel?
