You're using the CCRMA kernel, and therefore also the CCRMA alsa-utils, most likely. In their infinite wisdom, Fedora appears to believe that sound is not a service, or not something that might require restarts without a reboot. I find that strange thinking, but they don't ask me. Clearly, CRMA also believes that sound might require a restart--but that expertise has also not impressed the Fedora decision makers. You need a copy of the alsasound script from the CCRMA packages. Just plop it into /etc/init.d and you'll be good to go with the traditional: service alsasound start/restart/stop Janina -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
