Description of problem: When using an MSI mobo with a VIA Technologies, Inc.|VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] audio chip, the Mageia 1 release can not find the audio chip. I have tried to set up my sound card with the MCC gui using pulseaudio, I have also disabled pulseaudio and tried using alsaconf with alsamixer. I should note here that I have used this audio card without any problems on Mandriva 2009.0 > 2010.0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Here is some more info: [greg@halfway ~]$ uname -a Linux halfway 2.6.38.7-desktop-1.mga #1 SMP Sun May 22 12:29:42 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [greg@halfway ~]$ lspcidrake -v | fgrep -i AUDIO snd_hda_intel : VIA Technologies, Inc.|VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (vendor:1106 device:3288 subv:1462 subd:7253) (rev: 10) [greg@halfway ~]$ grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel [greg@halfway ~]$ /sbin/lsmod | egrep snd_hda_intel snd_hda_intel 32093 0 snd_hda_codec 90505 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 88011 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 14036 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd 60934 11 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss [greg@halfway ~]$ /sbin/chkconfig --list alsa alsa 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off 7:off [greg@halfway ~]$ /sbin/chkconfig --list sound sound 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off 7:off [greg@halfway ~]$ cat /proc/asound/cards --- no soundcards --- [greg@halfway ~]$ aplay -l aplay: device_list:240: no soundcards found... Do you need more info?
(In reply to comment #0) I have found that the problem is the way the newer Linux kernels use ACPI to enumerate all the PCI host bridges, and part of the host bridge description is the â_CRSâ (current resource settings) property, which lists the address space used by the bridge. I found this information here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/947909 I have added 'pci=use_csr' as a kernel boot parameter on my system and this has resolved the issue. I now have sound.

I can't seem to edit my comment. This is a typo: (I have added 'pci=use_csr' as a kernel boot parameter) It should be 'pci=use_crs'
Thomas, is that something related to the kernel ?

This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
Mageia 1 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''1st December''. Mageia 1 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia and reopen this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. -- Mageia Bugsquad
