i've been fighting for the last few hours, and exchanging some posts on the fedora test mailing list, trying to get functioning sound on my gateway laptop. i'm an alsa newbie, so please take that into account. yesterday, i installed f8-t1 on this gateway mx8711 and, during the install, the sound test worked fine. since then, nothing. running "system-config-soundcard" displays the following: Vendor: Intel Corporation Model: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller Module:snd-hda-intel Device settings PCM Device STAC92XX Analog originally, /etc/modprobe.conf contained the line: options snd-hda-intel index=0 but based on what i read in the ALSA config file, i matched the laptop and model and changed that to read: options snd-hda-intel model=m2-2 so far, nothing's worked, so i'm definitely open to suggestions. as a start, if one wanted to report a non-working sound card, what is the minimal amount of info to supply? what files should be listed? what commands run? and so on. thanks. rday p.s. i also suppose a decent tutorial on ALSA architecture wouldn't hurt. any pointers? -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
