If nothing else works, and you definitely need sound support, you may try the ALSA drivers instead of the native ones: http://shrike.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=662 http://shrike.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=678 http://shrike.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=681 They work fine for me, on the latest RH kernel update, together with all sorts of other 3rd party modules (including NVidia). You may need to slightly alter the modules.conf, search for your card in the webpage below and copy/paste the modifications: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ You need to comment out the references to the original drivers in modules.conf Shouldn't make a big difference for normal multimedia usage, but they are heaps and gobs better for higher-end-ish multimedia work. -- Florin Andrei "Never send a human to do a machine's job." - Agent Smith
