HDA Intel is a generic name for the type of card, sort of like tissue is generic, whereas Kleenex says it is manufactured by a specific corp. aplay -lv will tell you that corp name and model, and the alsa driver name. > > blacklist.conf is: No problems here. > Suggestions? If you type, in a console, aplay some.wav , do you hear sound? You have to replace some.wav with an actual wav file, but this sends sound directly to alsa, and should work on both your machines. So alsa is recognizing your card but PA isn't able to use it. Do you have alsa-plugins-pulseaudio installed. That sets alsa to use PA as its dafault output mode. You could try reinstalling PA to see if it will correct the sound configuration (or uninstalling and then installing again). Beyond that, you need someone knowledgeable in PA, and that isn't me. -- 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?
