No sound devices found

This is what the website lists:

Code: Select all

Integrated High Definition audio with Jack Retasking capability, optional PCI Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music

I tried enabling audio in the System Setup (pressing F9 or whichever when
booting up), but that didn't seem to do anything.

So after I ran a yum update, I see the following message; perhaps it can provide
a clue?

There is something very odd occurring with your system.

So that all information (as to the current state of that system) is in one place, please post the output returned by the following --

lspci -nn | grep -i audio
rpm -qa kernel\* | sort
rpm -qa \*release\* | sort
rpm -qa kmod\* | sort
rpm -qa --qf "%{N}\t%{VENDOR}\n" | grep -iv centos | sort

[aks]

Those messages suggest you're missing some sound modules (jack being one of them).
Bit I think you'd better respond to Alan's requests.

Sure, here's the output:

Just a few observations on the above information . . .

• I see both 32-bit and 64-bit Adobe repositories are enabled. You clearly have a 64-bit system, so I would advise that you consider removing the 32-bit Adobe repository.
• As for the other repositories that you have enabled, please be aware that the RPMforge (a.k.a. repoforge) repository is essentially abandoned and that the packages have not received any maintenance in about three years. Please be aware that usage of that once highly respected repository is now deprecated.
• I see no problem with the kernels (and respective supporting packages) that you have installed. Please ensure that you are booting the current kernel. As of this date (23rd September 2015), that is kernel-2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.
• As for the kmod packages that you have installed, I am uncertain of the need for kmod-alsa-1.0.24-2.el6.elrepo. I will check with the package creator/maintainer.
• Your audio hardware is (wordily) described as a NVIDIA Corporation Device with a Vendor:Device ID pairing of 10de:0fbc. As far as I can remember, the snd_hda_intel device driver is more of a generic driver rather than Intel specific.

Taking that hexadecimal Vendor:Device ID pairing and performing a "double grep" on my up to date (RHEL 6) system shows null --

[Duo2 ~]$ grep -i 10de /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 0fbc
[Duo2 ~]$

Although it does not explicitly show a device (which would be nice), it does not necessarily imply failure. The sound subsystem could still well be supported via a wild-card alias entry for a driver.

My final comment is to suggest that you install the relevant kernel documentation package (yum install kernel-doc) and then have a read through the information under the /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.32/Documentation/ directory that relates to sound subsystem components --

find /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.32/Documentation/ -type f | grep -Ei 'audio|snd|sound' | less

[AlanBartlett]

I have received a brief suggestion --

maybe suggest he uninstalls kmod-alsa - it's old and unsupported now
easy thing to try

[cwatson]

Thanks for the comments Alan.
I've had most of those installed for years and just neglected to clean things up. I had already disabled RPMforge on my work machine but guess I forgot to do it at home, too. (By the way, were there any packages that RPMforge provides that are now provided by the base repo, and that's why it is deprecated?)

I will try the other suggestions tonight and report back.

Thanks,
Chris

[gerald_clark]

Use epel and nux-dextop instead.

[AlanBartlett]

As Gerald has said, use EPEL and nux-dextop to provide those packages you formally had installed from RPMforge. Usage of the latter is deprecated as it has not been maintained for a number of years.

A reminder of how to determine the packages currently installed from RPMforge --

rpm -qa --qf "%{N}\t%{VENDOR}\n" | grep -i dag
