Just upgraded a RedHat 8.0 box to 9.0. The download and ISO install went smoothly and the new version looks good at first glance.
The audio that was working under 8.0 is gone under 9.0. Hardware browser finds my sound card ok, but no audio.
Is there something special that needs to be done?
what did sndconfig show?
As what I understand with testing the beta. sndconfig is gone. I also got that there were some (or at least one other person) that had to load their soundmodules upon boot. If you checked the archives from the phoebe-list. A more detailed explanation can be retrieved.
In short, it didn't work without reconfiguring the sound or loading the modules, with modprobe. I believe that his sound worked alright within 8.0 also. No need to load modules manually was needed.

I'm often asked the question, "Do you think there is extraterrestrial intelli-
gence?" I give the standard arguments -- there are a lot of places out there,
and use the word *billions*, and so on. And then I say it would be astonishing
to me if there weren't extraterrestrial intelligence, but of course there is as
yet no compelling evidence for it. And then I'm asked, "Yeah, but what do you
really think?" I say, "I just told you what I really think." "Yeah, but
what's your gut feeling?" But I try not to think with my gut. Really, it's
okay to reserve judgment until the evidence is in.
