Hello readers,

I have installed Fedora Core 1. The problem is that i am unable to here sound from all four speakers. The sound only comes from the two front speakers. I have Asus A7V8X-X mother board. It has onboard sound. The driver used by FC1 is via82xxx_audio. Another point to be noted is that the sound does not come when the center channel pin ( green pin) is inserted into the usual green socket. The sound comes when it is inserted into pink socket. The sound also doesnt come when inserted into the blue pin. I have tried in vain by playing with aumix and various sliders in volume control. Please help me.

Thankyou,
O

get rid of fedora core 1 and get fedora core 3.

Or...

Download the latest alsa drivers and install them.

Hardware is a better place for this thing...anyway Why is it that everywhere you are posting this !!! Again and Again...Still
1) Upgrade Fedora Core to 2 or 3 upwards
2)Erase sound card and try running soundcard detection utility again
3) Install gnome-alsamixer-0.9.6-3.fc2.fr.i386.rpm and uncheck the Amp option...
may be this will help you...

Thankyou everybody,
I have solved the problem.
I installed the latest ALSA driver and all worked fine except that the sound came from the front speakers. This problem was solved by playing with alsamixer.
Now i want to remove this topic from the forum. I dont know how to do it. Can you help me plz?
