I'm running F27 with KDE and pulseaudio-11.1-6.fc27. The HW on one system is an Acer Aspire 5920 which I think is about 8 yrs old. The audio device is [root@acer log]# lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) 0 problems with pulseaudio Also 0 problems on my HP systems. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly
