Description Azael Avalos 2005-08-31 17:11:50 UTC 
The system boots correctly and the modules appear to load as well without any
problems, however if you try to play any sound file it will simply won't play.

Issuing the command `/etc/init.d/alsasound restart` restarts the sound server,
but then no mixer is found, looking at the output of dmesg you can find the
following lines:

ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1958: AC'97 1 does not respond - RESET
ALSA sound/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:1967: AC'97 1 access is not valid [0xffffffff],
removing mixer.
ALSA sound/pci/ali5451/ali5451.c:2002: ali mixer 1 creating error.

If further info is needed don't hessitate to ask for it :)

The message can be harmless.  It tries to probe the secondary codec.

Please show /proc/asound/cards whether the driver is configured.

Also, please elaborate "doesn't play" - what did you test to play the sound.
For testing, use "aplay -vv somefile.wav" instead of other players.

If the driver is configured (seen in /proc/asound/cards), attach
/proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/* files and /etc/asound.state.

Ahh you can close this bug, as it's not a bug.

I was trying to play an MP3 file initially, then I tried with OGG ang some WAV
files and sound is produced, I guess the MP3's are not supported in this beta
release.

Sorry for any inconvenience that I may have caused.
