Next step would seem to be to test it with a liveCD of F16. If that works, then it is something in your configuration blocking it. Look in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to see if it is blacklisted for some reason. This is a long shot. > Probably the driver is mising in the kernel > and I need to add the module? Seems like as good a reason as any. But why? The kernel alsa sound docs suggest that this card is automatically supported. VIA VT17xx/VT18xx/VT20xx ======================== auto BIOS setup (default) So it might be that the Knoppix kernel has the sound driver compiled in rather than loading as a module, thus bypassing any module loading issues. You could try, as root, modprobe -v VT17xx to see if it will load the driver. If it doesn't, it should give you some errors. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
