Audio Driver for Fedora Core 4
#1

I have, what Windows XP, reports as a Conexant AC-Link Audio card in my Gateway 7324gz laptop computer.

 

In the Details Section, the Device Insance ID is:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24c5&SUBSYS_202F161F&REV_03\3&267A616A&0&FD

 

In the Resources Section:

I/O Range E400-E4FF

EE80-EEBF

Memory Range E02FF800 - E02FF9FF

Memory Range E02FF400 - E02FF4FF

IRQ 17

 

It works fine in Windows XP.

 

In Fedora Core 4, when I use detect sound card, the soundcard is detected as :

Intel

Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller

snd-intel8x0

 

lsmod lists this related information:

snd_intel8x0m 22084 0

snd_intel8x0 36160 1

snd_ac97_codec 74744 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0

snd_seq_oss 36608 0

snd_seq_midi_event 11776 1 snd_seq_oss

snd_seq 55184 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event

snd_seq_device 13068 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq

snd_pcm_oss 55840 0

snd_mixer_oss 23040 1 snd_pcm_oss

snd_pcm 93700 5 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pc m_oss

snd_timer 29188 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm

snd 58212 11 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_s eq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer

soundcore 13792 1 snd

snd_page_alloc 14212 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

 

 

When I press test sound, the application needs to be force quitted becuase it crashes.

 

Gateway's specifications page for this notebook report this card as:

PC2001 compliant AC' 97 audio

 

The full specifications are here: [/url][url=http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Gatewa...103099sp3.shtml]http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Gatewa...103099sp3.shtml

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the audio working with Linux?

This is the same problem as the ICH-4 Intel 82801DB Sound Card .

 

 

The solution is to add "snd-intel8x0m" to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.

 

There is a conflict with the modem the chip shares.

Nope, and despite hours of searching and testing possible solutions I can't come up with anything.

 

If it were my computer I would have put Vector on it already...

I'm kind of coming in blind on this, it's my girlfriends computer and was not maintained at all until recently.

 

It is a Gateway 4540GZ (Specs)
