Hello Takashi. Thanks for confirming that. There is still the problem though 
that booting with kernel 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 (alsa 1.0.14) produces no sound, but 
booting with an earlier kernel using alsa 1.0.14rc3 (where snd-hda-intel, and 
snd-hda-codec are separate modules), sound works with no problems, as it did 
on his FC6 install before upgrading to Fedora 7.

I don't know if he had to set any options in /etc/modprobe.conf to get this 
card working, as many other folks have had to do, but will ask him.

I've put a bit from one of his posts to the Fedora list below, with some info. 
The bit that stands out are the error messages that say:
$  sudo grep hda-intel /var/log/messages.1
  Jul 21 12:07:52 giles kernel: hda-intel: no codecs initialized

This is a desktop (Dell Dimension 5100), not a laptop. Googling for
the chipset shows that many people have had similar problems. Which
is, I suppose, comforting in one way :-)

  $  sudo grep hda-intel /var/log/messages.1
  Jul 21 12:07:52 giles kernel: hda-intel: no codecs initialized
  Jul 21 12:20:29 giles kernel: hda-intel: no codecs initialized
  Jul 21 12:28:25 giles kernel: hda-intel: no codecs initialized

Those times correspond to the reboots I did yesterday trying to get
this to work.

And his /sbin/lsmod for the snd stuff.

In case it help, here's the output from lsmod | grep snd:

snd_hda_intel         243416  0

Have you any suggestions as to why a kernel using alsa 1.0.14rc3 produces 
sound with no problems, and for some reason a kernel using alsa 1.0.14, where 
snd-intel-codec is now integrated into snd-hda-intel, produces no sound?

Thank you for any help with this problem.

Nigel.
