Hi Bjorn,

I currently have the following alsa RPMs installed;
alsa-utils-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386.rpm
alsa-lib-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386.rpm
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386.rpm

I downloaded alsa-driver-1.0.18a tarball and built it OK. This enabled
sound on my FC9 install. There was no alsa-driver RPM with my
distribution DVD due, I suppose, that Fedora is now using pulseaudio
which doesn't work unfortunately on my FC9 anyway.

I uninstalled the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.16-3.fc9.i386.rpm which
improved the volume levels.

I built the modem driver in the alsa-driver-1.0.18a directory, NOT in
/usr/src/linux.

Should I build all the latest alsa tarballs including the alsa-driver
tarball using the same release of all of them and remove the alsa RPMs
from my system? Or doesn't it matter that my alsa-driver tarball is a
different version to that of my distribution's RPMs. I was told on the
ALSA mailing list that it didn't matter when getting sound to work; and
sound does now work.

Regards,

GN.
