Hello Richard,
please add atrpms repository (http://atrpms.net/install.html)
from atrpms repository install alsa-driver , as dependency it will
install alsa-kmdl module for your current kernel.
Restart computer, and sound will work just perfect.
Regards,
David
On the surface it looks like the only differences in the alsa packages is that atrpms is at version 1.0.17 while Fedora 9 is on 1.0.16. I can't believe that as old as this laptop is that the driver was just recently added. Is there some proprietary driver issue with the specific audio chipset in this laptop?
