FC4T2: no sound on Intel motherboard sound (snd-intel8x0)

[Mary Ellen Foster]

Mostly the install went fine -- the DVD iso failed mediacheck, but I
decided to ignore that and it seems to have gone fine.

However, when I ran the soundcard test in firstboot, no sound came
from the internal speakers. It seems to have thought that something
was playing, but I didn't hear anything. Same thing if I do
system-config-soundcard. I have tried un-muting everything I could
think of in alsamixer, but no dice.

Anyone else seen this with Intel motherboard sound? It worked fine in
test 1 and through all the rawhide updates ...

Okay, obviously not *everything* -- this time I really un-muted all
the settings and turned them all up, and now I hear the sound. I don't
think that used to be necessary, but whatever. False alarm, I guess.
Sorry.

I could do an iterative thing to figure out exactly which setting it
was that did it, I suppose, but that's not such an exciting prospect

I think you'll find it was "Headphone Jack Sense" .
Once you have the sound to your liking, do
'alsactl store'
and then put
'alsactl restore'
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and the sound will be 
restored after boot .
