We are considering adding ALSA 1.0.15 to the Fedora 8 release. This would get us up-to-date with the latest audio drivers and fix many problems with audio drivers not working, or only partially working.
Test kernels for i686 and x86_64 are available at:
http://people.redhat.com/cebbert/kernels/F8/
Also, kernel 2.6.23.1-36 has the update and is now building.
It would be very helpful if people would test these kernels and reply to this message with their experiences, so we can see if this update causes any problems.

On an HP Pavilion tx1000 notebook:
Without the ALSA patch:
1) Audio starts out muted, need to run alsaunmute at boot. 2) The LED on the mute button on the keyboard stays orange (muted) even after audio is unmuted. 3) The mixer controls are all wrong. 4) Headphone output doesn't work.
The patch fixes all of those issues.

Works great here. 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
Only tiny problem, I have a little touch sensitive volume control. Right now, it seems to control the headphone volume. Wonder how to make it control something else (maybe master volume?)

I tried the 2.6.23.1-32.ALSA kernel. I don't use sound for much except skype and skype did not work. When I tried to make a call, it said "call failed". This happened with and without padsp. However, arecord and aplay did work. In case it matters, my Smolt profile is under UUID 37636b13-c28a-4dd5-a6da-de8653e97bc3 .
I had expected that when I installed the new kernel, I would still have the old ones in /boot, but they're gone. How do I get the old kernel back? I tried to yum install kernel.i686, but it says the alsa one is newer.

you have to "install" and not "update" with rpm or yum, or you can enable "yum install only n"
# rpm -ivh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/Packa... # yum install kernel-2.6.23.1-31.fc8 both should work, not testet.

The plugin is not used anymore, yum has the keeponly stuff built into it now. You need to adjust this in your yum.conf and not the plugin config.

see the yum.conf man page for full details but here is the snippet you need:
installonly_limit Number of packages listed in installonlypkgs to keep installed at the same time. Setting to 0 disables this feature. Default is ’2’.

I reinstalled the old kernel and skype worked again, but when I tried to reproduce the skype problem with the ALSA kernel, I couldn't. I've booted the ALSA kernel 4 more times and skype has worked after each reboot. I know I did see a skype problem the first time I booted with the ALSA kernel, but it perhaps had nothing to do with the kernel. The only problem I've seen since then is the soundcard detection fails to play the test sound sometimes, but this was true with the old kernel too.

IIRC I could only get the test sound to play after going to the third tab and clicking on the button to generate a report.

Works fine here and it seems thx to the new power management stuff in snd-hda-intel my notebooks consumes a bit less energy then before. Yeah!

Does not work for me on x86_64 though maybe this is symptomatic of a different problem(s)???
Here is what I've got
(0) Sound card is SoundBlaster Live 5.1
(1) Volume is set to mute on desktop and trying to change it gives me an error message about a possible missing grstreamer plugin.
(2) /var/log/messages has this error: Oct 26 08:56:49 yardsale pcscd: winscard.c:219:SCardConnect() Reader E-Gate 0 0 Not Found
(3) system-config-soundcard plays sample sound just fine.
Troubleshooting advice appreciated :)

Sounds works for me before and with this kernel and has no regressions.

If you experience problems we really need to know if the kernel right before the alsa drop also has the problems. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=22273

I previously had a non-working ICH8 8201H, which now works with this kernel.
There is a rather loud clilck/thud at boot just as its starting udev - although it is nice indicator that audio is likely to work.
Haven't seen any other problems.

On my laptop with
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
sound generally works, but with the 2.6.23.1-37.fc8 kernel I still see occasional sound errors, particularly when playing AVIs e.g.
[AO_ALSA] Write error: Broken pipe-0.003 9249/9249 4% 0% 0.7% 3 0 [AO_ALSA] Trying to reset soundcard.
These errors have been occurring for the past four or five kernels, so the pre-date the ALSA change.
The 1.0.15 stuff works just fine on my Rawhide machine, using the hda-intel kernel driver and the built-in sound capabilities of my DG965WH motherboard:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
Tested with playback through Rhythmbox and watching a couple of movies through mplayer.
Thanks.

Just want to re-iterate this, which may have been buried in another thread:
Most sound works well on my ThinkPad T61, except that the volume buttons don't control volume level. The mute button mutes, and the volume buttons unmute, but volume doesn't change. Also, lowering volume to minimum turns on the mute indicator in the volume-level pop-up (even though it's not muted), but the mute button doesn't. Software sliders in gnome-volume-control and system-config-soundcard do work.
This is now with kernel-2.6.23.1-41.fc8 and alsa-lib-1.0.1501.fc8 (x86_64).
Thanks.
