I found that guy, and you have the trident module loaded. The fact that this site shows how to acpi working worries me, because sometimes it has to work to get pci devices IRQs, and RedHat didn't have ACPI support in 9.0.

When you say the device doesn't work, it seems like the driver is loaded, so is the mixer muted?

Cheers,

Finegan

i dont believe the mixer is muted

ok i can talk in the mike and hear my self but when i play music off of a cd i cant hear it

any help??

Whew, sorry man, long day...

anyway, the module is loaded, the mixer is unmuted, let's look for other bugs, like it not being able to get a proper IRQ, What does it say in "dmesg" right around the time of the module load, when in doubt, paste the whole bloody dmesg in here.

Cheers,

Finegan

I can't seem to find anyone having the same problem, your model is incredibly similar to FR215:

http://pantuflo.escet.urjc.es/~dgil/misc/vaio_howto/

and

http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~einsfeld/linux.html

The second of which, go figure, has a link that might get the modem working....

And from the dmesg output, this thing seems to be doing just fine, even without acpi support.

I'm finding some LQ threads that just mention sound skipping, not null volume:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/75702

and

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...003/07/3/74173

The second of which might be the bug... if you are running KDE, you might want to disable the aRts sound server, it just makes boodles of cards bug out.

Cheers,

Finegan

ok i have sound when i watch flash movies on the internet but when i wanna listen to a cd i cannot hear anything am i suppose to mount the cd-rom drive? is when i try it says no medium found

No, you don't have to mount the device, the device is raw read so you're not adding anything into the filesystem. Hmm... just the cdrom?

What's the permissions like on the cdrom?

ls -ls /dev/cdrom

Also, is cdrom muted in mixer? Is anything odd muted on whatever cdplayer you're using?

Cheers,

Finegan

0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 23 16:42 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
no its not muted but the cd rom is working. but no sounds when cd is in

finegan u here
