ATi audio device problem on Fedora 14

merorafael · #1 31st March 2011, 08:14 PM

Hello guys,

I installed Fedora 14 on my notebook Sony Vaio, it's perfect but don't work the sound.
When I use the speaker of the device, the system is completely silent but when I use headphones the sound comes, but is very low even at maximum volume.
I searched solutions on google and found nothing about the problem :\

The notebook configurations are below.

Manufacturer: Sony Vaio
Model: VPCYB15AB
Series: Y
Processor: AMD E-350 Dual Core
Memory: 2Gb
Audio device:
00:01.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Device 1314
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)

Sorry for my bad english, my country not use english as native language... i'm trying to speak and write better and better.

Can you stop editing your previous posts as the links are causing them to be auto-moderated.

Done.

I also edited your post count to prevent it happening again.

Try

Code:

alsamixer

Hit F6 to pick your soundcard from a list, and then unmute your speaker channel with the m key. Navigate with left and right arrows, adjust volume with up and down arrows.
If it's not installed, run (as root)

Code:

yum install alsa-utils

Also install pavucontrol (which really should be installed automatically, since pulseaudio is, and most of the problems people have with hearing no sound is solved by installing it, and adjusting the output device) in the same way

Code:

yum install pavucontrol

That should do it.

Boa tarde Brasil!

Did a little check on google on realtek alc 259 alsa and this thread from fedora forum popped up http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1449230.

Maybe it will help you.

Boa sorte!

This did not solve my problem :\
Anyway, thanks... obrigado

De nada.

By the way, I think something went wrong with your alsa-info.
When you type in alsa-info into your terminal, and follow the instructions, you're supposed to get listed information about your system, not some code.

Perhaps you should try again and see if you'll get another result.

Also post your output from

Code:

cat /proc/asound/cards

and

Code:

aplay -l

and

Code:

lsmod | grep snd

and why not

Code:

lspci -v | grep Audio

while you're at it.

It will give you some useful information to google, and if you put the output here, other people can help as well.
