I am running three different alsa-drivers 1.0.19 (on three different computers) hacked to fix some inadequate pin settings. Even if you show the problem to the developers, it is likely they will say that your BIOS is broken or the default is adequate, even if it does not provide what it should, based on what is expected (e.g, based on jack colour convention).
The only solution is these cases is installing alsa modules packaged separately, because it gives you the ability to try changes without reinstalling a new kernel.
Nonetheless, external kernel modules are "taboo" in Fedora. Therefore, it is only only possible to have patience and a lot of faith (or buy a new hardware).
-- I am wondering if something is being done for the alsa problem and lack
of sound with newer F10 kernels.
I keep upgrading kernels as soon as they come out but I still have to
revert to 2.6.27.7-134 each time or I get no sound from the sound card
on my desktop (Creative Labs SB Audigy).
At some point in one of the kernels (170.2.5 ?) I saw some changelog
about fixing this problem but it seem like it doesn't work at least for
me.
Is there any work being done to fix it ?
