I haven't tried Dapper yet. Should it be fixed in Dapper already?

Hi art2003,

You were requested to try this out with the latest Dapper since this might be one of many issues fixed upstream, or by work done in Ubuntu. So please let use know what results you get with the latest Dapper packages and kernel installed.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to make Ubuntu better!

Hello,
I am happy to try a Dapper live cd and report whether this issue persists.

Can you tell me where can I download a dapper live cd?

Cheers,

I have downloaded flight3 live-cd

checked the md5sum and it was correct so download is good.

Then burned a cd booted and can't get X up and running, probably
because of a 'can't find /etc/X11/xorg.conf error'

I have tried a second cd in case the first one was faulty and same result.

I am not willing to do dist-upgrade until Dapper goes official.

So can we live this bug as unresolved until Dapper is released and
then I will upgrade my system and try again?
Alternatively you are welcome to post me a working Dapper live cd and
I will gladly try it.

I installed Dapper Flight 6 but somehow my sound is not working at all! I have an MSI S 250 notebook with this SIS SI7012 device.

In Breezy the sound and the volume control worked. There was no sound from the speakers though, but when I inserted headphones I could hear the sound - only that it was very weak even at 100%.

Now my lspci looks like this:

And in the device control screen I can see that my Sound Controller is SiS SI7012.

Don't know if this is in gstreamer 0.10 or in the sis module, but the volume control in Gnome panel says there are no correct plugins or devices found.

I can't seem to find the Multimedia Setup from the menu (was under System in Breezy) so I'm a bit lost for the moment.

Hah. My problem was insufficient rights for the user! So there was no problem with this chip or its drivers.

I granted my user rights to do all the stuff mentioned in the User Admin tool and although there was no mention of sound it started to work after logout.

Still no sound from the internal speakers though, but the volume control does work gradually for me.

Just to follow up: The SIS 7012 codec drives the ICH4, which is dmixed+dsnooped+softvoled by default in Dapper [0], so this issue should be marked resolved.

Reassigning to alsa-lib where it belongs.

The problem persists after dist-upgrade to Dapper
Furthermore the volume control problem is an issue only with gnome.
Meaning with mplayer, vlc etc I can control the volume of a mp3 or
movie I am playing.

But the system sounds on the desktop are at full blown (so currently
dissabled all desktop sounds as they scare the shit out of me with
full volume and no means to adjust this)
