portable >> No sound on ThinkpadR40

Hello there,

I have a problem with the sound system of my ThinkPad. When I play a
music CD there is no sound (neither the speakers nor the earphones are
working).

I'm runnin Fedora Core 3 'Linux version 2.6.10-1.770_FC3
( XXXX@XXXXX.COM ) (gcc version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat
3.4.2-6.fc3))'

Any helpful advise ?

Hello,
Make sure you have unmuted the hardware mixer. I believe it can be done
just by pressing the volume up button, if not, the program tpb can
enable those buttons.

tpb = ThinkPadButtons. It's a small program that monitors the NVRAM on
Thinkpads for the changes that pressing the Thinkpad "special buttons"
makes. It can take user-defined actions for most of the buttons on most
Thinkpads. Typically, you install tpb with Fedora's equivalent of
"emerge tpb", then edit /etc/tpbrc so you can bind the buttons to do
whatever it is that you want, then make it so that tpb is started when
you start X.

tpb works pretty well on my A22p, but then that's a pretty old model and
there are fewer special buttons on that than there are on newer models.
I don't see anything in the man page about anything special for the R40,
but you might want to check the archives of the linux-thinkpad mailing
list at
http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-thinkpad or
somewhere under it for more advice. HTH,

1. No 5.1 sound with usb sound blaster

2. Help: No sound in Mandriva 2005 LE/ Sound Blaster Live Audigy 7.1 (24b) 

Hi,
I have a PC with the above SB PCI card ( on board VIA sound chip disbaled at
BIOS level).
AS my former Mandrake didn't support this card, I FRESH installed Mandriva
2005 LE  (Kernel 2.6.11-6mdk , KDE 3.3.2). This time the card was
configured using the CORRECT alsa module ca-0106. However, KMix (I use KDE)
does not show ANY input and, naturally, I can't hear sounds.

Please advise.

TIA

6. FC4: Sound speakers doesn't work, sound headset works 

Hi..

I am using Fedora core 4.
With a soundblaster 1024 live player or a name similar to this.

Since a few days the sound via the speakers does not work.
The sound via the headset still works.
But the volume of the headset can only be changed by the KMIX "WAVE
SURROUND" slider.
The sound can not be changed by any of the other slider or selections in the
output, input or switches tabs.

It is unclear when it exactly started.
I have done "yum -y update" shortly before i noticed the sound was gone.
And i compiled the kernel with i2c-parport and i2c-dev.
But the sound now works with none of the kernels.

I have checked the speakers by connecting a frequency generator on the input
cable. Speakers work.

What could be the problem ?
How can it be solved ?

Thanks..
