Hi group, I just installed Fedora Core 8 and have lost ALSA support. I had it with FC6. I have rebuilt the kernel with module support for ALSA. I can use festival and say text, so hard ware looks good. I copied over the /etc/init.d/alasound and it says: [root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/alsasound status ALSA sound driver loaded. [root@localhost ~]# alsamixer *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused [root@localhost ~]# dmesg usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3 usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice input: USB Audio as /class/input/input8 input: USB HID v1.00 Device [USB Audio] on usb-0000:00:13.1-2 usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio usbcore: deregistering interface driver snd-usb-audio ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:04.0 disabled ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:04.0[A] -> Link [LNKH] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 AC'97 1 does not respond - RESET AC'97 1 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer. ali mixer 1 creating error.
