Any suggestions for how to fix this?

It would help to know what audio the laptop has. You may need to add
an option to /etc/modprobe.conf to specify the configuration used.

Here is the audio device from lspci -vb:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems AC97 Data Fax SoftModem
with SmartCP
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
Memory at 00000000d0340000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable)
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+
Queue=0/0 Enable-
Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0


Here is the modprobe.conf:

cat /etc/modprobe.conf

alias eth0 e100
alias scsi_hostadapter libata
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix
alias scsi_hostadapter2 qlogic_cs
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0


Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks very much!


Can you run

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

and post the results? This helps us sort out which of the plethora of
IHC7 cards you have.


Hi Rick,


cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Conexant CX20549 (Venice)

I hope this helps?

Well, according to that, it's only seeing the modem part of your
sound card. It's not seeing the audio bit (and I should have caught
that from your lspci output).

So, something is very weird. I think F8 uses alsa 1.0.15 and it should
detect the chipset. The on-board sound is enabled in the BIOS, right?
